Strangers (Zeath)

Gabbie be getting in there

Heath is woken by the sound of the front door slamming, signalling that his parents had left for work and that he would have the house to himself till late afternoon seeing as he had zero intention of going into school today. Throwing on the nearest pair of shorts, he sat on the edge of his window to have his morning cigarette not noticing that his next-door neighbour was the blonde guy from yesterday whose bedroom was situated perfectly looking into Heath's bedroom.

Zane couldn't get the brown haired boy out of his mind since David and Scotty returned to lesson yesterday. "Don't worry Zane. That faggot Heath won't be bothering you anymore" David smiled while rubbing his knuckles that were starting to form bruises. Don't get him wrong, Zane loved the guys. Zane was once the new guy and Scotty and David protected him, took him under their wing which he his forever grateful for seeing as he wasn't exactly liked at his last school but there are still plenty of things that he has to keep quiet about if he wants to carry on being on their good side and Zane being bisexual is one of those. He felt guilty that Heath had to pay for Zane letting his guard down and getting too carried away with flirting. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even realise that they had reached Scotty's house and that David was waiting on him to get out of the car.

Like every morning, David and Zane were stood around in Scotty's bedroom waiting for him to finish getting ready as they all ride in David's Tesla to get to school. David only agreed to drive them to school so he can show off his car. Zane wasn't really listening to the convocation nor was he really focused on anything else until a dark shadow appeared in the window of the room directly opposite Scotty's.

"Hey Scotty, Who's that?" He asked, nodding his head towards the figure next door.

"hm? Oh yeah we've got new neighbours. Moved in last week. Parents are always coming and going but haven't seen the kid yet. My mum's planning on inviting them over" he replied, rolling his eyes.

Zane looked one more time towards the window who was now by the window smoking, catching a flash of brown hair before following the others out of the house and into the car.
Zane hated school. Most of the school were either scared of us due to David and Scotty using their fist's to deal with anything and everything or they wanted to hang around us so they can be 'popular'. Zane couldn't deny that he was excited to see Heath again and thankfully he doesn't share home room with any of the others. Zane quick walked to homeroom to be met with Jessica smiling sweetly and an empty chair where Heath should be sat. Zane dropped into his chair and stared at Heath's almost hoping that if he stared long enough the brown haired boy would appear with a cheeky grin but unfortunately he was met with Jessica's.

"Hey baby! What's wrong? Hope you're not upset about me telling Scotty about that guy looking you up and down, it's just that he was getting in the way of me and you baby" she smiled sweetly. Zane hated when people other than his friends called him baby.
Zane groaned, She has been in nearly everyone's pants and this term she has been determined to get in mine. Now most guy's wouldn't turn her down but I don't really want people to know I'm gay when it gets round that the dick wouldn't rise for her.

It was lunchtime and everyone was sat at the round tables in the hall. Zane had Toddy to his left and Gabbie to his right. The group consisted of 11 people including Zane and had the same reputation of David and Scotty, the only difference being is that the two of them are feared because of their fists.
"Zane! What is wrong with you today?" Gabbie whispered to Zane, concerned that he had been sat quietly staring at his uneaten sandwich for the last 20 minutes. Zane obviously wasn't going to out himself but he trusted her more than anyone else in the group. "Nothing baby, It's just that someone is on my mind"

"oooooo! has someone caught my Zane's eye?" she excitedly whispered, bouncing up and down in her seat. Zane gave her major side eye, telling her to calm the fuck down before someone starts questioning what's got her so excited although he couldn't help but give her a smirk as Heath popped into his head yet again. The excitement was short lived as Zane looked up to find David staring at Zane with a puzzled look on his face. They locked eyes with each other across the table, they both looked down to David's bruised knuckles then back up at each other. Zane shivered as his eyes met the cold and almost knowing stare of David. Zane could feel his breathing become more rapid as he quickly excused himself and rushed to the bathroom before he had a panic attack in front of the whole school. As he quick walked to the bathroom, tears began to fill his eyes but he managed to keep it together until he reached the bathroom. Thanking the heaven's for the bathroom being empty, he slumped down against the sinks as his tear's finally started to fall. He sat there for awhile, letting himself cry and his breathing slowly go back to normal. Splashing cold water onto his face and Zane started making his way to his last few lesson's before anyone caught him in this state.
