Victuri: Walls ✔️

Chapter 2

EDITED

Yuri POV

When the bell finally rings to signal the end of the class I pack my things away quickly, eager to get out of here. But as I walk through the door out into the hallway a hand grabs my wrist and pulls me to the side. I struggle at first, trying to free my hand but when I fail to do so I look up to see that the one who grabbed me was the guy with the silver hair and blue eyes that was sitting next to me before.

"What the hell do you want?" I spat looking at the floor

"Well.." He says "I was thinking since it's my first day at a new school and I don't have any friends...I want to be your friend, won't you please just tell me your name?"

"Fine, I'll tell you my name is Yuri. But this doesn't mean we're friends" He looks at me with wide eyes, I quickly pull my hand from his grasp and walk off.

Victor POV

Hmmm...Yuri, he has the same name as one of my friends from when I was younger. I watch him storm off and decide to go to my next lesson, geography.

❄️❄️❄️

The bell rings again to signal the start of lunch. I grab some food and head to the dining hall to get a seat, as I have no friends I had decided that I'd go and sit at a table by myself, but then I see Yuri. He must have had the same idea I did because he is also sitting at a table by himself. Optimistically, I headed towards him thinking he probably wanted the company as much as I did.

"You mind if I sit?" I ask. He doesn't reply so I pull out a chair and sit next to him, leaning over to see what he's got to eat. I can tell he's uncomfortable with this because I see him shuffle in his seat. So I lean back and focus on my own eating.

"You don't have to do this you know. Sit with me. You said you wanted to make friends and I promise you this is not the way to go about it," he states bluntly.

"Why would sitting with you stop me making friends?" I enquire

"Take a look around. You're the only one who has transferred here from somewhere other than the three schools in this area. People don't like me so for your sake leave before they decide they don't like you either."

"No." I counter, folding my arms to show my solemnity.

"Then I'll make it easier for you." He replies "You're a good-looking guy, you seem sporty and generally nice. Go sit over there with the jocks."

Then he left.

That night I kept thinking about Yuri (I know what y'all thinking lol, but nope, get your mind outta the gutter), he seems to lack so much confidence. I can't help but wonder if he's been bullied or something, maybe that's why he feels like the everyone is against him. I couldn't say, but he's trying to block out the whole world including the people who want to help. I wish he'd just open up and talk to me.

❄️❄️❄️

For the next few weeks, I pretty much revert to my old tactic of very mildly stalking Yuri. During breaks or lunch I would follow him and spend time trying to get him to open up and talk. I'd walk out of school with him and even offer if he wanted to meet in the library after school one day and do homework as I've found out we have two of the same classes together. History and French, of which I sit next to him in both.

But he still won't talk to me...
