Chapter 8: School

Jeremy's POV

"Dude really!" Rich shouts as I tell him why I was gone, leaving out the part with me and Michael being all lovey dovey and stuff.

"Shh!" I shush. "Either way I don't think he's completely gone he took a physical form the other night." I tell him.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"I don't really know, he appeared by my computer and he made light." I say.

"Eh, that sounds bad." Rich says.

"Hey Jeremy I-" a voice says, approaching.

I turn and see Michael but he had stopped. He let out a nervous laugh.

"Oh sorry am I interrupting something." He says.

"Not at all!" I say motioning for him to come closer.

"Sup." Rich greats.

"Hey..." he says distantly.

"Do you think-" Rich began but I gave him the 'don't continue' look.

Michael doesn't need more to burden him, I want to find out what's wrong with him without my problems in the way.

I think for a minute.

"Can you excuse us for a sec." I say with a sheepish smile.

Rich nods and I pull Michael into an empty class room.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

"Stop asking that." I say quickly, grabbing his wrists.

He blushes and I pull up his sleeves, there were no new scratches and the bandage was still there. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Why would you think I would hurt myself?" He asks.

I release his wrists and he rolls his sleeves down.

"I don't know you were acting weird." I say.

"I was?..Oh right." Michael mumbles.

His face snaps back into the calm energetic face I'm used to.

"Never mind that, I almost forgot to tell you! The school just started a video game club!" He says excitedly.

I give him a nervous look.

"Michael." I say softly.

"Come one dude it will be fun!" He says his facade faltering a bit.

"Not that, I'll do that-" I begin but he cuts me off.

"Great! I'll sign us up!" He says and he was gone before I knew it.

I was left alone and very confused. I slip out the door, Rich was now talking to Jake. Rich had a small blush on his cheeks so I left them alone.

"Jeremy!" Chloe shouts as I pass.

"Oh hi!" I say.

It still feels weird having so many friends.

"I'm having a party this Saturday if you want to come, everyone will be there." She says handing me an invitation.

"Sounds great! I'll be there!" I smile.

"So where have you been, word around school is you and Michael have been getting.. friendly." She smirks.

I feel myself blush.

"N-no! I was just sick and he was helping me!" I say.

"Sure.." she rolls her eyes.

"Seriously Chloe... I don't think Michael will like that rumor can you stop it?" I ask.
