Jack's P.O.V

Jacob, Cullen and Jono blocked the way. 'Where are you fags going?'

'I'm showing Oscar where the toilets are. So he knows.'

'Are you two going to go fuck in the toilets, like seriously? On the first day? Really?'

'No, fuck off Jacob. I'm not gay and he isn't either. I'm showing where the toilets are, so if he needs to pee, he can pee. Is that so hard to understand Jacob?'

'Shut Up fag.'

'You're the one who asked me the questions, I was just answering them.'

'You think your smart Jack?'

'I think I'm smarter than you.'

'If you're smarter than me, then why are we in the same class?'

'Because they thought being is smart class might make you smarter. Clearly their theory didn't work.' I pushed past him and walked off, Oscar following closely.

'Are you sure you should've done that?'

'Honestly, I don't care. People like him don't deserve to be treated better than how they treat others. You're new here, and this is one of the first schools you've ever been at, I don't want them to think that it's ok to bully you, and I don't want you to think this is normal, to be picked on like that.'

'Oh....wow...uh...Thanks.'

'It's ok. Now...this is the toilets.' As I said this, I pointedly the doors next to us. 'They lead into the schools medical centre, and straight ahead of you is the entry to the toilets. The men's are on the right.'

'Thanks.' Oscar walked through the doors and I waited outside for him. He came out a few minutes later, shaking his hands to get the excess water off. We walked back to the hallway, and took our places.

'Took a while.' - Ibanez

'We ran into Jacob and Co.'

'Oh...ok.'

The bell went a few minutes later and we all walked over to the other side of the building, towards our Maths class. When we reached the classroom, the door was already open and we walked in, and took our places. Oscar pulled over one of the other chairs and sat at the table with Ibanez, Lance and I.

When the teacher walked in, he immediately noticed Oscar. He walked over to his desk, right in front of us, and clapped his hands. Everyone in the class stopped what they were doing. 'Ok class, please get out your work from the end of last term. We shall begin there.'

He turned to our group, 'you must be Oscar?'

'Yes sir.'

'Nice to meet you Oscar. Do you know anything about trigonometry?'

'Uh...not really, I know some.'

'Ok, well, you're next to the smartest kid in class when it comes to Maths.' As he said this, he tipped his head my way.

'Ok..' Oscar turned to me and looked completely Confused. 'I don't know much about Maths in general, it's always been my hardest subject, no matter what my mum did.'

'Ok, I'll help you through it.'

'Thanks.' His face lit up a bit more. He seemed so...so....so...cute. I think I maybe was gay.
