IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT

Him

Jack entered into the classroom.He was so relived that they didn't make an eye contact. He was terrified, terrified of crying in front of him...his eyes were red..
"Oh hey,Jack! what's up? All okay? hey are you-"
"Leave me alone..." said jack trying his best to remain calm
"But-"
"I SAID FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE, ALEX!"

"woah okay..just tell me if you need anything...bye", Alex said nervously and left.

Now he didn't know how to feel. He hurt his another well-wisher.He was so angry with himself that nothing matters to him now not even he noticed that the boy for whom he cried the most has entered the class.As soon as he noticed, his heart gave a jump like someone just punched it.
Jack's hazel eyes were now blood red. His blonde hair didn't look charming anymore. he was all done with him until someone said,

"Hey! Can I sit here? I mean if you're okay now..", said Alex trying his best to keep a cheering mood.
" Yeah sure...listen...",said jack nervously
"Yeah? You wanna tell something?", said alex looking curious.

"yeah..well...I'm sorry...I'm sorry for the behavior..I'm sorry for swearing..you know I was so angry at that time.." , said jack not to burst into tears.
" woa okay okay I'm not here to make you cry! STOP!! And it's okay oh my god-"
"Thank you so much for understanding.", said jack feeling relived now, sobbing.
And that's when he felt much lighter. But not so quickly when alex asked,

" Who is that guy?"
" GUY?WHAT WHO?!", said jack who pretended not to know anything when he had that "please not that" expression on his face.
" You very well know whom I'm tal-", alex stopped.

"Good morning, Ms.Ruby",roared the whole classroom.

"Later",whispered Alex.
"Yeah , better late than never.", smirked Jack opening their science books.

" Good morning, students. Now sit down and open science book on page 23 where........"
The class kept going and jack didn't even look at anyone,not even alex. Ms.Ruby gave them a bunch of homeworks and experiments to do. The 45 mins of the class felt like 45 years..it was so boring without him...

" HEY WAKE UP!!CLASS'S FINISHED!!", said alex shaking the sleeping Jack.
" Mrhm.... what...okay..better ready my bags..", moaned Jack.
" No wait ", said alex staring dead at him.
"Yeah?", said jack already knowing what the question is.
"You didn't tell me who the boy was and don't you dare to deny it",whispered alex the second line.
"Uhm..it's nothing you know..old stuff.."

"Old stuff which hurts even now? Yeah?"
" Trust me, it's nothing concerning your business."
" Remember when you were my honest friend? Now share it with me for that sake" , said alex now pressuring Jack.

"no..nothing.."
"WILL YOU FUCKING TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG??"
" Now you're being annoying , Ale-"

"TELL ME THE NAME"
"I WON'T!!"
"TELL ME THAT FUCKER'S NAME SO I COULD BEAT HIS ASS FOR HURTING MY FRIEND FOR SO MANY FREAKIN' DAYS, HE'S THE SO-"
"It's him.",said Jack closing his eyes and pointing at a boy.
Alex stopped dead, "Are you sure..? I mean... at least open your eyes, you must be mistaken.."
"No, it's him.. Alex",said Jack not trying to remember those memories.
"Ethan...?", said Alex nervously and ready to hear a no.
"Yes, Alex...it's Ethan.", said jack.
"But-", said Alex something which was obvious.

"It's Ethan", said Jack confidently holding back tears.
