Sorry for the late update!

--------
It was dinner time, brook and rye left brook's room and went to the cafeteria.
Rye sat with brook on the table and started eating their food.
"Brook ,can we talk?" A soft voice came from behind them.
caroline.

Brook just ignore her and continued eating his food. eagerly trying to give away that he didn’t want to talk. especially with her.

"Brook, please don't do this to me." caroline said with a weak hint on her voice. He looked up at her with an emotionless and cold expression.

"What do you want, caroline?" Brook said, rolling his eyes afterwards.

rye was averting his gaze back and forth between the both of them confusedly. He was so confused and didn't know what is exactly happening for that matter.

"I want to talk to you, please brook come with me." she particularly begged him.

He inhaled sharply, looking at her; and she clearly could make out the annoyance filling his eyes.

"okay, only five minutes." he stated, before looking at rye who nodded for him to go.

leaing the cafeteria with her. They went to the hallway as no one was there occasionally.

"so?" brook said rudely, already gettin impatient.

"I'm sorry brook. i-i told mikey. i didn't do it purposefully i promise. he's my best friend, he won't tell anyone i promise you." she explained to him while fiddling with her fingers nervously.

"You promiesd me you won't tell anyone and here we are, you told mikey, who knows who else will know about me?" he shouted at her face as his face was quite red from anger filling his veins. 

tears started falling down from her eyes finding their way on her cheeks "brook i love you! I really do, why don't
you understand this."

His breath was heavy, his heart was beating so fast that he could imagine it bursting out his chest. He always wanted to hear that from her, he always wanted to crash his lips with her's and tell her that he loved her too, but it was too late.

"The five minutes are up." he said with weakness laced within his voice. he couldn’t crack and break in front of her. his weak side already got the best of him.

but no. he won’t be the pathetic piece of shit in front of her again. he had to leave. away. away from her. far away.

He felt very numb. his eyes were swollen and red. he loved her with every bear of his heart.

he loved her so much. he always have done. but he can’t do this. not to her, nor himself. he was pathetic anyways.

When Brook returned to the cafeteria everyone were eyeing him up and down. echos of whispers traveling all throughout the cafeteria.
he just ignored them. he always did anyways.

he continued walking to where he was previously sitting. his feet feeling heavy and he had to particularly drag them along. he felt numb nausea creeping slowly into him. everything was just a blur.

"Hey you freak! freaky little mommy boy is sad ain’t he? i think turning into a monster would help boy. FREAK!" Someone shouted from across the cafeteria, sarcastically. laughing afterwards. and the whole cafeteria bursted into fists of laughters.

Brook began to shake, rather violently. no. no one can know this.

Brook‘s gaze travaled to look at who ever said that and finding it one of Mikey's friends

He glared at him and continued to walk. trying to act like nothing happened. trying to get through this. maybe he was really a freak. did they even know the truth though?

10 minutes later, he heard someone else whispered something , "I think he's an alien."

this was the only thing left to break the thin line that held him together..
but he had to keep the act up. for rye.

he finally arrived at their table.
"What's going on brook?" Rye asked.

"I don't know Rye, i'm so confused." Brook said putting his hands on the back of his head nervously. obviously lying.

"Brook, Mikey is coming" Rye stated and Brook looked next to him and saw Mikey approaching him slowly.

"Your little secret, everyone knows it now." Mikey smarked, laughing and went back to his friends afterwards.

Brook's heartbeat became faster.

"What secret Brook?" Rye asked.
"I will explain everything to you soon ,now i have to do something important."
