Chapter 5

"So..." Lance cut the silence between the two.

After leaving the principal's office, they walked down a never ending hallway that surely brough the best out of their awkwardness.

Keith couldn't bare to look at Lance's face.

He was embarrassed, yet strangely, Lance didn't mind.

It was as if he didn't let it phase him.

"-where's the cafeteria anyways?" Lance continued, trying to get a word out of the boy. "It's uh-" Keith quivered akwardly, finding it progressively difficult to speak.

"-just follow me, I guess." Keith cleared his throat, tugging at the collar of his long sleeved shirt, earning a nod in return.

Before they realized it, they were silent again, walking for another five minutes.

"Keith, you are by far the worst tour guide i've ever met." Lance slouched, walking behind the oriental.

"Who said I was giving you a tour?" Keith objected, earning a smug look from the cuban.

"I don't know, I just expected that from you, considering i'm new to this school and all." Lance blurted nonchalantly.

"Well, it's not like I asked you to transfer." Keith shrugged, causing Lance to scoff in return.

Before Keith could laugh, out of focus, he bumped into someone he wished he never met.

"Watch it, Faggot!" The taller jock shoved Keith harshly, sending the skinny male a couple feet back. The boy wobbled, almost losing balance.

Keith despised this guy, although he never had the courage to do anything about it. All he could really do is just accept it.

In previous attempts where Keith actually spoke to a counselor about bullying, only worsened the situation.

Unfortunately, remaining silent and accepting it was the best option for him.

"I'm sorry-" Keith pried, before getting slammed by the jock once more.

"What did you fucking say?" The taller male, Brad, provoked Keith. "Were you trying to apologize?"

"What's your problem?" Lance stepped up, staring down the male who was near his height.

"Who the fuck are you?" The jock scoffed, causing Keith to look back at Lance with a face that said don't do this.

Refusing Keith's worried expression, Lance stepped up yet again, pushing the taller male back a few feet. "Someone who doesn't take bullying lightly!"

Brad, who noticed a couple students calling a teacher to handle their argument, stopped in his tracks. "You're dead, Kogane! Just wait till there's no one around to help you."

Keith, who was now trembling, turned frantically towards Lance. "What's gotten into you?"

"What do you mean?" Lance replied, concerned for the oriental. "It's stupid to fight back." Keith frowned.

"What was I supposed to do? Just let him push you around like that?" Lance clenched his fists.

"I never asked for your help! This will only worsen the situation!" Keith replied, leaving behind a depressed facial expression.
