Lost in all the city lights...

I'm so damn sorry!

I heard the doors open of the closet, making me see the unnatural light of Chris' room.

"I've got to get to work now, baby."

"Don't call me that." I snapped.

"Why?" Chris whimpered, looking taken aback.

"I don't need to explain! Just go back to your 'Mr. Parente'." I said in a mocking voice.

"Ricky! He's my best friend! Hell! I'm not dating him!" Chris yelled.

I looked down.

Now I've pissed him off.

Well done Rick, you've blown your chances of being this man's boyfriend, just because you're too fucking jealous if he tried to save YOU from being kicked out the school.

I'm such a fuck up.

"Look, Ricky. I lied about having a boyfriend so you wouldn't be expelled or taken away from me, also, I'd get fired for 'touching' a student." He smiled, stroking my cheek lightly.

I looked back up into his warm welcoming caramel eyes. I smiled weakly and spoke, "promise you won't date somebody whilst we're in this... Situation..."

"I wouldn't want to Ricky, I want you to be my boyfriend." He hushed me, pulling me close.

"So... Should we-"

"Ricky, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Of course." I smiled, leaning up and kissing his lips gently, before pulling away and grabbing my backpack.

"Ah- right! School and work!" Chris laughed, not caring that he looked scruffy. He just put a belt on his right black skinnies, brushed his hair and put on a blood red tie to match his black dress shirt.

I couldn't be bothered to get into any new clothes, also because of the fact my dormitory was on the other side of the building, and I wouldn't be able to get in class on time.

Chris and I walked out the room quickly and into the classroom which was across the hall.

I ran and sat down next to Devin, Ghost (Rowena), and Sam.

"Morning class, as some of you already know, I'm Mr. Cerulli, but please call me Chris or Mr. Motionless."

Everyone smiled and got their books from the little cupboard near the teacher's desk.

Chris winked at me, causing me to blush.

"Alright class, turn to page 20- screw it. Let's just do some practice work." He smirked, causing everyone to cheer in excitement.

"Everyone get into groups, and we'll happily play some band music, videos, do some quizzes and shit- it's all I can do to make up for being late." He laughed, opening up YouTube and searching up some music.

I hopped over to a table with Rowena, Sam, Natalya and Tanith.

"Sup losers." I mocked, sitting down next to my best friends.

"Wazzup." Rowena and Tanith replied,

putting 'the horns up' sign and thrashing their heads around, causing is all to laugh in unison.

"Why were you in late?" Asked Nat, with a slight concerned look in her eyes.

"Chris and I had to do some- extra work."

"And what's 'extra work'? You paused a little. You two havin' a thing goin' on?" Rowena asked, absentmindedly drawing band names on her desk.

"Ghost! Shut up!" I squealed.

She slammed her pencil on the table and squeaked, "I knew it! I ship it! Oh god!"

My friends all jumped up and cheered, making people turn their heads and look at us in confusion.

"Be quiet! Only you guys can know, since you saw everything at that party last night." I whispered.

They all broke out into smiles.

"So, you are a thing?" Sam asked eagerly.

"... Yeah." I groaned, slumping back into my chair and rolling my eyes and they all tried to hug me.

"Don't worry, Rick, your secret is safe with us." Tanith said quietly.

"God do I hope so." I replied.
