New Faces

.
School took long, it pulled them apart from time to time to talk
But Virgil didn't hesitate to text Roman secretly in the middle of classes
Virgil felt excitement in his body, every time Roman tried to flirt

Roman
Roses are red, violets are blue, the cutest thing I've ever seen is you~
11:30

He couldn't help but smile, sure he'd still listen to the teacher but mostly on his mind, was Roman.
He knew it was him. The one who was going to change him forever.
A man who was never too much, and was always enough. A passionate one. The loving one. The understanding.
Roman was a rare person to him.

"Myers.."
A small voice was barging into his ears
"Myers!"
"Huh?"
The teacher was calling on him, Virgil was too distracted

"Please read the summary of light on page 257"
Virgil immediately hid his phone, sliding it into his bag, and opening up his book
The other students were falling asleep, others were sketching... The teacher yawned loudly

"Light is a physical phenomenon that stimulates the sense of sight"
"Thank you, Myers"
Virgil sighed in relief he was able to keep up, as soon as he sat down the teacher reminded him
"Next time, pay more attention kid"
"Y-yes Mr. Sanders"

The bell rang while Virgil set down his things into his purple themed bag
Lunch made the students cheery and wild, nothing unusual
He ran to buy lunch and sat the usual table the 2 would hang out
He saw Roman, but with 2 other friends?

"Hey, Virgil, I'd like you to meet my pals, Patton and Logan"
Roman said confidently
They both had glasses, the other seemed smarter than the other.
The boy with the tie took out his hand first

"Logan, Logan Phillips"
They shook hands, and the next one was Patton, cheerfully energetic
"My name is Patton! Patton Diaz, but you can call me Pat"
"Nice to meet you both, I'm Virgil Myers"
"You can call Logan 'smart-ass'"
Roman sneered
"Tch, you're just jealous."
"Of what?"
"That I'm smarter"
Roman couldn't think of a better insult and stayed silent
"Anyways you're, the famous Virgil Myers, whom my dear friend Roman has been chatting about all the time"
"Oh"

Roman jumped up in surprise
"N-Not all the time"

They all sat down, Roman still convincing Virgil that it wasn't all the time
"All right, calm down, I believe you"
Virgil winked at Pat and Logan, Roman noticed but didn't try to speak
The 4 of them munched off, Virgil enjoyed, and was still curious on how strange his life turned
.
"Oh, we might be late"
Logan claimed
"Stop being a baby, we still have 10 minutes"
Roman reminded
Logan groaned, trying to be patient
"Nah, I'd rather go to class now, see you all later"
They all waved goodbye, Logan proudly fixing his tie, reading an old book named The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

"You know, he's such a great guy!"
Patton said
"Hm, that cocky brain? You're supposed to be complimenting me"
"Nah.."
Patton felt dreamy as Logan walked further from them, his footsteps, fading
"Gay"
Roman snickered
"W-what?! N-No way"
Patton fell into an instant blush, his eyes still locked on Logan's figure
"Oh its fine, more as well, I think you both match"
Roman implied
"Yeah, and Pat, I guess you can start to confess...?"
Virgil joined in, hearing gossip
"I... I don't know"

Patton started to itch, as his left arm started to get reddish
Unnoticed, both of the curious men suddenly remembered about theirs
Soon, Roman saw almost a figure of a star on his right hand, so did Virgil, but on his left hand
It hurt for a bit, but then they both hid it away

"So.. how about you two?"
The prince made a questionable face, while Virgil was peeking at his "rash"
"You guys dating?"
Virgil minded at that sentence, he'd wish that they were but it was impossible to do so
"Um.. N-no..?"
Virgil regretted saying it, but mostly not
"Aw boo, you guys look good together though"
Both of them hid their red faces while looking away from Patton
.
They new and improved gang had stayed till the bell rang
Virgil got both of the nerds numbers
It was PE and they had to change

Like usual, Virgil didn't go to the men's locker room
Instead, he just went straight to the gym, since he had already changed at the start of lunch
He waited at the benches, seeing the teacher coming close to the court
He blew a loud whistle as soon as the students huddled up

"Today, we are going to do running and dodgeball, we're up against the other class"
The teacher headed near the exit and a cluster of students filled the other side of the court
.
Time passed by, leaving other boys and girls exhausted, Virgil panted and went to the benches
Grabbing his jug, being refreshed
He walked back, placing himself in position for dodgeball, he was never athletic himself
He tried from time to time, his mindset was messy, but it always came to him..
That Roman, was his escape from reality

"Alright, when I blow the whistle, act fast, the winning team will get extra points in their final grade. Am I clear?"
They all nodded and listened well. For everyone, it was the grade, For Virgil? It was to impress his prince

"Ready, set, whistle"
The students ran up the the front and started targeting each other
Roman was swift, Virgil did his very best to dodge, seeing how everyone was rushing everywhere
.
A few minutes soared by and they were still at it, some where hit
But surprisingly, both of the fellows still held on
An opponent picked up the red ball, he threw it with all his might, targeting an ally of Virgil's team

The ally noticed and pulled Virgil in front of him, making Virgil confused
Till Virgil met his eye on the ball, sharply hitting his chest, leaving him breathless

The teacher had a glance of it, and blew the whistle once more, cutting off the match
Roman was terrified, he came closer to examine him, he was fairly unconscious
The teacher consulted the student, while Roman volunteered to accompany Virgil to the clinic
He carried him bridal style, since the stretcher took to long for a risk

He rushed, the pitiful boy in his muscular arms, though his hand, where the star was seen, had been hurting
Even so, he huffed off to the entrance
