Time Bomb

It kinda feels like sabotage (Chapter 2)

Jack P.O.V.

Scurrying down the hall looking at my schedule, trying to not be completely late, avioding all people, and the voices in my head. Thats when I saw him. Walking down the hall. Alex fucking Gaskarth. 

See there are a few things im scared of in this world. Besides my dad, the top is Alex Gaskarth. I can't help but freeze when i see him. We make eye contact and he walks right over. I feel like im going to throw up "Aw look at little Jacky. The little fag is staring at me. I bet he wants to fuck me. Disgusting fuck." Alex chuckled. Suddenly I whipped out of my thoughts as my body hits the locker next to me, and im sliping down hugging my knees as they all laugh and walk away. Im used to the pain, but its a whole nother level of pain when Alex hits me. I manage to pull myself together just enough to get to class. "Ah, Mr. Barakat. Almost missed the whole period, great way to start your year, isnt it?" My teacher, Mr. Cooper, remarked. I heard chuckling in the back so i put my head down and walked to the nearest seat. Which happened to be in front of Alex. Great. Wonderful. Perfect. Class with him? The bomb.com.  I felt someone kick my seat, i knew who it was so i didnt even bother to look back. But when it continued i couldnt hold it in any longer. Pulling all my courage together i turned around and asked "What do you want Alex?" he just threw a piece of paper at me and laughed with his neanderthal friends.

Saved by the bell. Haha nice one Jack, TV pun. I grabbed my stuff and tried to run out of the class when my chair was pushed violently at my back, making me fall face first into a desk. I sharply turned back to see Alex pointing and laughing. Laughing so hard he was holding his stomach, almost crippled over. My eyes threated to cry as i got up and ran to the bathroom. He's right Jack. You are just a little disgusting fuck. I've made a mess of everything, and no ones listening. Oh right, class. Thats a thing. Checking my schedule only to be relieved that i have music next. Walking down the crowded hallways thankfully not getting caught by Alex and his group, I entered to find Mr.Stump playing guitar. I looked at that man with so much envy at how he plays the guitar. I play, but ill never be as good as him. "Alright class! Take a seat, i honestly dont care where, so just choose a place and call it your own. Well I am Mr.Stump. But you all can call me Patrick." Patrick exclaimed. "First assignment, find a partner and write a song with the music and everything. Major project this trimestor is to do that whole thing, and then play it for the school at assembly." My eyes widened at the thought of me 1. Trying to find a partner, and 2. Performing in font of people. That isnt going to go very well. "Well you can work on that today, go ahead and find your partner." My eyes scanned the room as everyone got into their groups, when Patrick saw that i was alone and looking for someone he partnered me up with another loner, which just happened to be Alex.

Alex P.O.V.

I hate class. After we had our way with Jack, just to give him a little scare I made my way to class and dozed off for a bit. When i heard the boring teachers voice say something about a Barakat. I looked up and tuned into the conversation. Ha ha hes late. I snickered with my friends Rian and Zack and we kept kicking Jacks chair when he made the mistake of sitting in front of us. "What do you want Alex" You.. Jack. Wait, what the fuck? No no no. Not this again. Crumpling up a piece of paper, i threw it at him like we used to do when we were younger. My friends started laughing so thats my cue to start laughing too. 

*bring*

He got up and tried to leave but my friends were begging me to push his chair into him, so i did. He fell right into a desk, everyone was laughing, here i go. Laughings exhausting. He got up once again and ran, looking as if hes going to cry. No, dont cry Jack. I walked out of the room too, without my friends. Wow do i feel free. I walked right to music trying not to be late. Walking in seeing the teacher playing guitar. Man thats cool, i can play, but i just havent in forever. I guess ever since i gave Jack my best guitar i just havent been motivated. Jack walked in and his face looked sad, his tall lanky body carrying itself like its about to break. Does this boy eat? I caught myself staring so i turned around as fast as i could. Then the teacher spoke up "Alright class! Take a seat, i honestly dont care where, so just choose a place and call it your own. Well I am Mr.Stump. But you all can call me Patrick." This guys cool. When he spoke up again "First assignment, find a partner and write a song with the music and everything. Major project this trimestor is to do that whole thing, and then play it for the school at assembly." Oh God, really? Everyones getting into groups and im just sitting here. Fuck this class. Whatever. Patrick came up to me and grouped me with Jack. I slightly smiled at him, when i saw him whimper. "Hey Jacky. Dont worry i wont hurt you." Why am i  being nice to him? Whats changed? Hes still the boy that ruined everything. He looks so sad. Did i do this to him? Wait.. Is that s bruise on his cheek? "Is that a bruise? What happened?" He just shook his head and slightly whipered something. "Why are you talking to me?" the lanky boy asked. I dont know Jack, i dont know. "Because im forced to. Duh." he just slowly nodded. "Well lets get to it then. Song or music first?" He asked "Uh ill go with the music, you do the song?" "Alright, fine by me." He said and got up to get pencil and paper. Wow this is weird. Really weird. Shouldnt i be beating him up?

Flashback

"Jack! No why would you put that in the song?" Young Alex asked. "So far we have 'Yellow is Green when youre being mean and blues your fellow when youre friends with yellow!' Of course we need to put something about Jello. It goes together!" Young Jack exclaimed "Alright whatever. ill do the music you do the lyrics." Alex began plucking random strings until he found a melody that he liked. "I got the music. You got the lyrics?" Jack nodded quickly "Then lets go perform for our parents!" They both scrambled out of the well known tree house and ran into their houses. Grabbing their parents hands they brought them out in front to watch them perform. Jacks dad and Alexs mom sat on the sidewalk awaiting their childrens show. Alex began playing his guitar as Jack sang"Yellow is green when youre being mean and blue is your fellow when youre friends with yellow! Now can we have some jello?" They giggled as they ended. Alex looked at Jack and hugged him and whispered "Good job Jacky" As they were surrounded by applause.
