Death Metal

Fourth Period

Eli took a seat at my table.

"We're presenting today. Starting with movies." Mrs. Morgan stated, while Eli was jokingly mocking some asshole in our tap class because of some bratty thing that was said after i had left. I chuckled.

"I should probably thank you for before" i whispered bumping him as the film started.

"I just wish i had decked him instead." Eli stated ruffling my hair.

"You would've been suspended." i stated.

"Boys." Mrs. Morgan snapped, we stopped talking in a hushed chuckle.

Lunch...

The moment the bell rang Mrs. Morgan had us stay after class.

"I know that the week started out rough but, how's the project coming along?" she asked

"We've been done." i stated

"Really? What is it about?" she asked

"Homosexuality." Eli stated proudly. "We made a song about gay-marriage."

"Homosexuality?" she asked getting severely defensive over the topic.

"Yeah, i myself am gay, and Jaz has two moms. So it's a fairly personal topic for the both of us." Eli said, the face he wore while he spoke, seemed to melt away all these negative thoughts that were obviously floating around.

"I love to see you passionate about something other than disrupting my class, but is homosexuality the best topic you could work with? I guarantee that you guys will get burned for this." she said

"What would you rather have us done? Suicide? Catcalling? Rape? Child-moleters? Sex-offenders? Oh, Hate-Crimes? Because no matter the subject i am doing, you'll still end up with two broken teens in the front of your classroom left to the ridicule of the class, and then some because they'd die to get footage of the school bully singing a song about being nice." Eli hissed turning tail. He fled from the classroom.

"Goodness." Mrs. Morgan sighed. I nodded to her before taking off after him. I lost sight of him. Nobody was in the hall. Then turned the corner, the shit stain from the library. He whistled at me, did this whole head nod and finger guns.

"Looking for your boy toy?" he teased i glared at him as he walked over. The moment his hand reached out towards me, i tossed him over my shoulder and glared at him, holding his arm twisted.

"What do you know?" i asked

"He ran outside!" this knob shouted i nodded releasing him. I chased after Eli blindly. I found him by the sports shed. He sat clutching his sleeves. I plopped down next to him.

"So. you doing okay?" i asked

"Yeah, i'm just so pissed over how she's reacting." Eli groaned. "I wanna start a fight but, i don't want to get into any more trouble."

"Why don't you take up a self defense class? You get to fight a bunch of other kids for for fun." i stated nudging him.

"Why? They'll know i'm a bully." Eli stated i nodded

"Well yeah, but it'd be a better chance for you to chill and get a chance to maneuver your anger" i stated. Eli nodded.

"Alright. I'll have to talk to my parents." Eli sighed. I nodded.

"My moms will look for a class the moment i get home." i stated.

"What, do they just know that you've been attacked?" he asked

"Yeah." i stated.

"I can't believe the nerve of some guys!" Eli groaned. He released his sleeves running a hand through his hair. I nodded.

"Well, guys are assholes, but my gay ass can't get enough of them." i mumbled leaning against the wall.

"That's one of the downsides to being gay. Everyone just assumes you'd be okay with random guys." Eli groaned, i shrugged

"Positive attention is fine from time to time, but after days like this i'd much rather fight every guy that even looks at me" i sighed. Eli chuckled, looking at me.

"Even me?" he joked

"Nah, you're fine." i said nudging his shoulder.
