Second chance

Chapter 3: My Savior, My Hero (part 2)

The next day at school

The atmosphere was weird. Something was going on. Everyone was staring and pointing at me. As soon as i got to school i could feel their stares and whispers and I felt a growing uneasiness.

What the hell!

Different pictures of me were plastered on the walls. My crying face at the restaurant was everywhere! On some, faggot were scrawled on with red paint. I felt the whole world coming to a still,.......... and then the whispers and the taunting laughs begins.

"Slut!" "Look at him, so pathetic!" "Poor him, can't believe he fell for that" "A bet! hahahah" "How can he be so stupid to believe that Pha is gay?" " I feel sad for him, after-all he only wanted to be loved back"....and so on it continues.

A big boy approached me and sneered, "It's no bet but I'm willing to spent the weekend with you!" He leered at me and laughed. "Fuck off", I turned and ran into the bathroom.

"Ohhoooo look whose here! The faggot! Hey come baby let's spent the weekend together. We just bet on it right now and I won! Isn't that right guys?" The group of boys in the toilet smirked and start goofing around. I hide quickly in one of the stall. My heart was beating crazily. I remained inside and wait for them to be gone.

"Is he in there?" I heard a girl asking. "Yes he's in", said the boys before leaving the bathroom. What now? "Hey I know you're in! Come out right now!", I could hear the girl perfectly well but continued to hide. "He must be in one of the stalls, check which one!", the girl ordered. The loud sound of doors slamming echoed through the bathroom until my door rattles. "He's in here!" Her friend shouted to her. She stalked over and banged loudly on my door, "Come out right now you little piece of shit! How dare you think  P'Pha will love you. Look at you! So ugly and thin and you still dared to brawled your eyes out when you came to know it was all for a little fun. Keep dreaming dimwit! He's mine. Get that in your shitload of head! No one would want to date you."

"Now  let's get this straight. I know it was only a bet but if I see you  in the same place as P'Pha,  I will deal harshly with you, understand!"

" You still won't come out? You want to stay in there? Fine, we'll see who will let you out then." She locked my door form the outside then left with her minion.

I don't know for how long I was in the bathroom untill I heard a faint sound, "Yo? Yo where are you?"

"Ming, I'm in the bathroom," I shouted coarsely. Ming came and unlock the door. I fell into his arms crying loudly. "I'm so sorry Yo, someone filmed your fight in the restaurant and posted it on the school forum. I tried my best to removed it  but it already went viral. It was only this morning that they plastered your pictures everywhere. If I would have known it would be this bad, I would have prevented you from coming to school at all cost."

"Do you want to go home?" Ming was rubbing my back comfortingly. 

"No, Pa will get worried if I'm home early, if I endured this much I guess I can last till the end of the day".

"You are so brave my friend! Don't worry I will be with you the whole time. Now wash your face and let's go, you already missed 1st period."

I was wrong. The day was more horrible that I could have imagined. In class a beautiful girl approached me. She was crazy about P'Pha, i know because I used to see her around him all the time. She stopped beside my desk and said, "Tsk, tsk, poor you! If it wasn't for the bet he would never have looked at you, pathetic isn't it!" She laughed and deliberately knocked over my stationaries before sauntering to her seat.

The whole day was like this, petty comments, guys pushing me in the corridor, knocking my bag off my shoulder and at lunch someone 'accidentally' spilled her soup over my head.My broken heart and painful moment was just a spectacle for them be made fun of. I was so fed up and felt emotionally and physically drained.
