Some Secrets Should Stay Secrets

Chapter 7

"Wow! What happened to you?" PJ asked the fish monster, his eyes widening.

The strong fish monster looked like she had gotten into a fight, and lost. Like seriously, one of her hands had a sprain along with bandages wrapped around her head! She even had a bruise on her mid-section!

"That fucking new kid!" She growled, her eye flaring.

"How the hell did a nerd get you so mess up?" BP laughed, though backed away from her glare.

"I chased him around and sprained my hand when I punched him in the cheek. He then hit me in the gut and threw me into a janitor's closet! I swear when I find that little sh-"

"Hello, Blue Rose." The pale devil called out, smiling up at the bigger monster nervously. "I just came by to say sorry about yesterday... You just caught me at a wrong time..." 

Undyne growled at him, her body literally shaking in anger!

"You're gonna get pummeled, punk!" She warned, her eye glowing slightly.

The nerd gave an adorable giggle, his body relax.

"Sorry, Blue Rose... But my brothers are the only ones who can and will hurt me. Sadly, I haven't seen any of them... I hope you have a wonderful day, though." With that, the kid left. He just freaking left!

Undyne held a confused face, unsure how to actually respond to that. So, she was unable to really stop BP and SG laughing at her. Yet, PJ was confused for a different reason. Like, why would Fresh's brothers hurt him? And willingly at that?

Everything that the kid said was confusing... It was like everything he was saying was a fucking riddle that begged to be solved!

He groaned and shook his head. He didn't need to think about this! Quickly, he walked to his first class. He just had to focus on something else.

Without really meaning to, PJ had started to glance over to the little nerd. Yet, his glances could only last for a short while since Fresh some how knew he was watching him. The little skeleton would ask, in a rather shy voice, for the jock to stop. This was obviously ignored! The jock's interest had already been peaked.

Something was different... Off, you could say, about this newbie. They were secretive and distant to everyone... Even to the big group of nerds that he seemed to be friends with... He also was jumpy... Very jumpy.

It felt like the new monster was hiding something... Something that he didn't want anyone to know about... Something big.

The ink skeleton sighed softly, leaving the school. He had been distracted all day, so homework was now a problem.

He sighed heavily and thought of the people in his classes that might be able to help him.

There was Undyne, but she'd tease him... BP? No, he falls asleep at random and half asses his answers. SG would just say no and tell him to go fuck himself... Well... There was Papyrus... But the guy doesn't really understand most of the concepts that's being taught...

As the ink skeleton thought, he came to the conclusion, that he needed to see Fresh. The guy was the only nerd he could trust that wouldn't spill that he needed help and the only nerd that he didn't feel the urge to beat into the ground when he hears their name.

He carefully drove to the little guy's house, wincing at how barren and dull it looked. It seemed as if someone purposely tried to kill it.

Leaning back in his seat, he thought if he should... For all he knew, the weird kid won't even help him! Just laugh in his face!

Taking a deep breath, he climbed out of his car and knocked on the door. He waited for a couple of minutes, growing concerned. He didn't know if the kid was home or not, but he didn't think that they'd be gone right now...

He reached for the doorknob, but stopped. It was just wrong to enter a house without permission. Besides, the nerd could've gone to some sort of work...

PJ nodded at that conclusion. The house was bare and it didn't look like he had a lot of money to feed himself. He saw how the guy ate at school! Making sure his tray was filled with food and only ate the open food and stuffed the rest in his book bag for 'later'.

Turning around, he started to walk away, but something was nagging him... Something that wouldn't just go away...
