I'm NOT a faggot (UNDER EDITING)

- Chapter 23 -

Pov Jason
I was stressing out. What if Nate didn't like the plan? Who was I kidding, I'm sure he hates the plan! But there's no going back now... I saw him neatly folding the paper and putting it away. He hasn't read it yet, so he doesn't know the plan... Yet. I sighed and stared at the ground.
"Hey, it's gonna be okay, no worry" Peter smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm sure he'll understand"
"Do you even know him?" I asked.
"He's totally gonna freak out, I just know it!"
"Hey, just calm down before anyone notices" he hissed and sighed.
"Wheeler will understand, believe me, or I'll make him understand. Mark my words"
"Thanks Darhk" I smiled and looked around.
"Enjoy the peace while it lasts Anderson" he whispered and took off. I sighed and sat back down with the others.
"What was that all about?" Emily asked suspicious.
"Nothing important" I said and saw the others understood. They knew what was really happening and I was glad that they were actually my friends. People who supported me even though I'm not straight, unlike others. Emily just frowned but let it rest for now.
"So Jace, about tomorrow" Sander said, watching his words now that Emily was listening.
"Can you get it arranged by noon? That way we'll have some free time"
I knew exactly was he was saying. He wanted to have a good laugh at Emily during lunch break so he didn't have to wait until the day after.
"Yeah, sure, I'll see what I can do, but no promises" I said.
"Great" André smirked and I saw Ella supressing her excitement as well.
"Wait, what's happening tomorrow?" Emily asked and glared at each and every one of us.
"We're gonna prank Sandra" André said simply and shrugged.
"It's gonna be hilarious"
"Really? The secretary lady? All she ever does is pick up the phone" Em complained.
"Well, that kinda is her job" I stated, glad that André had an excuse ready for this kind of situation.
"So when are you gonna start?" Sander asked and looked at me. I grinned and let an evil smile take over.
"Oh, but it has already begun..."

I was staring at my phone. Nate hadn't texted me back ever since our fight yesterday. He knew about the plan now and he wasn't that happy with it. I texted him over a dozen times to tell him I was sorry, that the plan was gonna work, that it woud turn out for the best for him. But I got completely ignored. Should I try and call Angela? Making sure he was even coming to school today? Probably a good idea. I searched her number and called her.
"Jace? What's up?" she asked as she picked up.
"Is Nathan coming to school today?" I asked.
"Yeah, he just left. Why?"
"Oh, nothing, thanks Angela" I said quickly and disconnected. I texted Peter to ask if everything was ready and he gave me a thumps up. Good. The plan was now officially in motion...

When I entered school everything seemed normal, even though I knew it wasn't.
"Good luck today" Peter said, who was suddenly standing beside me.
"Did you place the papers?" I asked and he nodded.
"The camera?"
"Everything is like you wanted" he said.
"The only thing that needs to be done is for you to go and open your locker and for Ella to give the anonymous tip of Emily's locker"
"Thanks Peter, I don't know how I'm ever gonna repay you for this" I sighed and smiled at him.
"I owe Nate, this is all for him" he smiled.
"Just let him know I'm really sorry okay?"
"You can tell it yourself once this is over" I said and stared at my boyfriend from across the square. He was just talking to Simon, staring a bit at the ground. We made eye contact for a moment and he forced a smile, letting me know it was okay.
"Well, time to get things up and running" I said and looked at the lockers.
"Success" Peter sighed and left my side as I made my way over to my locker. I slowly entered the combination, knowing what was gonna happen when I opened it. I closed my eyes for a moment before finally pulling at the metal door, making a ton of little notes and papers fall out.
FAGGOT!!
GO BACK TO HELL WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!
GO SUCK A DICK LOSER!!!
FUCK YOU IN THE ASS, THAT'S WHAT YOU LIKE ISN'T IT?!?!?!
I just stared at the papers. Reading them made tears come in my eyes. I saw people staring at me and the papers, making pictures as I tried to cover up my emotions. I didn't know those words would hit me so hard... At least I didn't need to act my reaction... I clenched my fists as I started to gather the papers one by one while people were staring and gossiping about me. On my way to the trash can I accidentally dropped a few papers, leaving them where people could read them. Ashamed, I started picking them up again and threw them in the trash. That's when I heard people laughing. Nathan had opened his locker as well... I just ignored it and walked back to my locker, only to see the picture that started this mess. I couldn't handle it anymore at this point and started to cry. People stopped laughing at our misery and just watched. There were a few whispers but nothing more. Cause I, the guy that knew all about martial arts, the cool kid, was crying. Nobody ever saw a popular person cry, it just didn't happen. That's when I noticed someone was standing next to me as I tried to hide my face inside my locker.
"What?!" I hissed, only to see it was Nathan. His soft smile, his beautiful eyes... He didn't seem as affected as I was. Guess he knows how this feels... He's been through it a lot more than I am.
"Come on now Anderson" he said on a joking tone.
"You're way to handsome to cry"
I just threw my arms around him and pulled him close, looking for comfort. He hugged me and started rubbing over my back, whispering kind words in my ear. I could hear people get pictures and the gossip started again. Simon just stared at the scene with wide eyes while Ella and André simply nodded, sending Ella off on her way. Everything was still going as I planned, only my reaction was something I hadn't foretold.
"Come on, man up Jace" Nate whispered and pulled away.
"You're supposed to be the strong one, you know"
"Y-yeah... And here I was, thinking you would've the spotlight position" I stated and chuckled a little bit.
"That's the Jason I know" Nate smiled and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.
"See you at lunch"
He winked and walked off. The bell rang only moments after. I just sighed and smiled softly to myself. All of this would be over soon and than it would be just us. We could be happy together...
"What the hell was that all about?" Simon hissed as he pushed me.
"H-hey! Calm down!" I exclaimed, stepping away from him.
"I'm a victim to okay? That picture wasn't me! I didn't want any of this to happen! I-I really like Nathan, Simon... I really do"
I saw people staring and heard a few gasps as I said that, not that I cared at the moment.
"P-please, just let Nate explain, he knows I'm telling the truth" I begged and he groaned.
"Get your stuff or we're gonna be late in class, asshole"
