Nicole Valentine-- wait Nikki Valentine (she hated being called Nicole) had a huge problem. Her brother hated... No her brother despised her best friend. Actually he pretty much hated all emo people in general.
Nikki was emo herself, but her brother was too dense to notice. Her brother Derek Valetine was one of those stereotypical 'dumb jocks'. It may seem cheesy, but that's exactly what Derek was. A dumb jock.
What Derek hated more than emos were gays. And Nikki's friend Ender was a gay emo. Tuff luck.
Derek had just caught Nikki texting Ender. "Are you seriously texting Blender?! I thought I told you to ditch that faggot!" Derek snarled at his sister. He was really pissed off.
"One, his name is Ender, not Blender. Two, I can be friends with who I want!" Nikki snapped back. Fights like this happened often.
"I'm your big brother and I say no!" Derek ordered and took Nikki's phone. He deleted Ender's contact and blocked his number.
Nikki hated the fact that Derek was a senior and she was only a sophomore. It sucked. Especially because Derek always thought he was like the king and she was a mere peasant. Totally not fair.
Luckily Nikki had Ender's number memorized, as this had happened many times before. She simply just unblocked his number and entered his contact in again. She then texted Ender.
Sorry Endy-poo, my dumb brother took my phone again.
A few minutes later, Ender texted back.
I thought I told you I hated that nickname.
Nikki chuckled. She used that nickname for playful tease. Nothing more. Though she was threatened to be stabbed, Ender really never did anything about it.
Sorry, anyways cya at school!
Nikki texted back. She got no reply. Sometimes Ender did that. It got quite annoying.
~*~
Ender ran towards the nightmare called High School. So far he made it without any bully encounters, but it was just his hopes deceiving him. He never got to school without an encounter.
And then he saw Derek coming.
Oh shit.
Derek has bullied Ender since the 6th grade. It wasn't fair how Derek was the meanest person ever and got all the girls. Not that Ender even liked girls. Ender had to admit that Derek was attractive and Ender could have possibly had a crush on him, but it didn't matter. It would never work because Derek is straight, and way out of Ender's league.
Besides, how strange was it for a victim to love the bully? Ender just pushed aside his feelings and tried to find another guy who was more in his area.
He did get over Derek, but not completely. Sure he did find an attraction to Asher Woods, but his attraction to Derek still lingered at the bottom of his soul.
Ender hated Derek's guts.
He hated Derek for being so damn attractive.
Derek walked up to Ender. "Hey Fag." He pinned Ender against the wall. "Stop texting my sister, you hear me?"
Ender nodded timidly. Though it was not true. He would continue to text Nikki no matter what this douche bag said. So what if he got punched a few times? He should be able to text his best friend, right?
"Good." Derek snarled and threw Ender to the ground and walked off.
Did Derek just go easy on him?
Ender shook off the thought. It was just his stupid mind playing tricks on him. Why would Derek ever go easy on him? It just didn't make sense.
Ender sighed and continued his walk to school. Luckily there were no more encounters after that.
~*~
When Ender got to school, he was greeted by Asher and Nikki, his best friends. Nikki ruffled Ender's ebony and purple hair. "Hey Prince of darkness!" She squealed.
Ender rolled his eyes. Nikki was the worst at nicknames.
Asher played with his red hair. Quiet as usual.
"Hey Ash!" Ender said, hoping to get a response from Asher.
"Hi." Asher replied softly.
Oh damn how Ender loved Asher's innocence. It made him want to do very naughty things to him.
Ender didn't even know Asher's sexuality to be honest. He wasn't very open about himself. Not knowing killed him. If Asher was straight, he would have two crushes that would never like him back. What a nightmare that would be.
Coincidentally, Nikki, Asher, and Ender had all the same classes. It was actually quite fun because Nikki and Ender talked about guys while Asher sat there and just listened.
Sometimes Ender felt bad, as if they were leaving Asher out. He even asked Asher if it bothered him, which he said it didn't. So he just continued on... Guiltily.
What sucked was they had a study hall period with the seniors. That meant he couldn't fool around with Nikki with Derek being there.
During his boring and lonely study hall period, Ender felt as if he were being stared at. That was one feeling of superstition he wanted to go away.
Suddenly he was pulled by the arm to an empty classroom.
A/N: WOW LOOK HOW LONG THIS IS I'M GONNA WRITE EVEN LONGER NEXT CHAPPIE!
Am I evil for this cliffhanger?
