CHAPTER 25: Principles Office

Josh's POV ~

Its been three days since I told Tyler about my past. When I told him I was expecting him to yell at me saying I'm stupid or something for acting the way I did but he didn't. Which I'm really happy for.

Today's the day when Rian, Brendon and Sam come back to school. Tyler tried talking to the English teacher about letting me change partners and not presenting but she said no. So, so far today all I've been doing is worrying. There's a chance Rian, Brendon and Sam will start another fight with me and there's also a chance that Brendon won't do anything but pick on me while doing this project.

Tyler has been helping me through today so far though its third class which is chemistry. All day he's been texting me saying stuff like 'everything's gonna be okay today you got this' or ' school will be over soon your doing great so far'. He knows how worried I am about today.

*buzz* I look at my phone... It's another text from Tyler. I smile.

Tyler: it's almost lunch. Only 2 more classes after lunch then we can go home and cuddle :) you can do it.

Me: thanks baby <3

Tyler: <3

Its about 11:30 only a half hour til lunch. I need to use the bathroom tho.
I raise my hand and the teacher comes over to my desk "yes Joshua?" he whispers. I hate being called Joshua."M-may I go to the bathroom please?" he nods.

I head to the bathroom and do what I went there for. I was washing my hands when someone came into the bathroom. It was Rian.

"Hey stutter boy." he said way to happily for my liking. "H-hi." I said coldly and dried my hands. I tired to leave after but he stepped in front of me. "Your leaving so soon? We just started talking." he said with fake disappointment.

"I-i need to get back to class." I said trying to walk around him but he moved so I couldn't. "I don't think your teacher would mind if you were gone for a few more minutes." then he grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back against a wall, pinning me.

"I didn't appreciate what you did at the mall a few days ago." he said through clenched teeth. "I-i don't care." I said trying to push him off me.

He chuckled ."you think you can just get away with it?" he said grabbing my hand. I didn't say anything I just tried to get my hand loose. He grabbed my other hand.

"Leave me a-alone" I said trying to use my feet to push him away from me. He held both my hands in one of his and used the other to punch me in the stomach. "Why should I?" he said then hit me in the face. "You deserve it." he said putting his mouth by my ear.

'you deserve it' that phrase, the phrase that's echoed in my head since I first heard my dad say it to me.

I felt a burst of rage flood through me. "DON'T SAY THAT TO ME!" I screamed as I pushed him backwards, getting my hands free. "YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"I grabbed him by the shirt and punched the side of his face. Then I threw him to the ground. I sat on his stomach and threw 3 more punches at his face before a teacher ran into the bathroom and pulled me off him.

I struggled in the teachers grip for a few seconds "stop it. Stop it right now." the teacher spoke sternly. I immediately stopped and started crying instead. The teacher let go of me and I collapsed to my knees. My head down and my hands over my face.

"What is going on here?" the teacher said. Neither me or Rian spoke. "Both of you follow me to the principles office. Now." I slowly pulled my phone out of my pocket and texted Tyler.

Me: I'm sorry

Then I put my phone back in my pocket and stood up following the teacher.

When we walked into the office the secretary from the first day looked up at us. I kept my head down.
