School of the gays

Todd, Neil, Larry, and Chugs main class had gone on an all day field trip. as they got back to the school, Larry had heard the news as soon as his class stepped off the bus. he'd heard something about 'that freak with the mask got what he deserved' and 'I hope he doesn't stay tied to the goal post all night'. immediately he grabbed his shit and went running for the football field. it was the end of the day, so the field was empty, but he could see one thing that made his heart sink. there, tied to the goal post like he'd heard, was Sal. he didn't look like Sal though. his hair had been crudely dyed bright pink, his pigtails at been cut from his hair, his mask was laying on the ground in front of him, he was in a dress, and to top it all off fag was painted on his forehead.

"Sal!" Larry shouted running over quickly. he threw his bag aside and pulled out his pocket knife. he cut Sal free and the boy collapsed onto the ground, clutching his mask in his hands. "Sal? what the hell happened to you? how long have you been tied up like that?" Larry ask seeing the marks burned into Sal's arm.

"they knew your class left. there was six of them. there was nothing I could do." Sal muttered. Larry turned as their other friends came running over, but Todd was missing.

"we heard about it! what the hell happened?!" Ashley shouted. Sal didn't even bother with his mask, the whole school had seen his face already. they gasp noticing Sal and quickly looked away, knowing he didn't want to be seen without his mask. Larry pulled Sal to his chest and wiped his forehead gently, removing the homophobic slang. he put Sal's mask on gently and looked him over. Sal refused to look at him, staring at the ground.

"Sal, what happened?" Larry ask softly. Sal looked at him briefly then back at the ground. Todd came running up and held Sal's clothes out to them.

"they were in lost and found." Todd said. Larry frowned at them, but when he found nothing wrong with them, handed them to Sal. Sal reached a shaky hand out and snatched his clothes.

"Sal? are you alright?" Ashley ask. Sal didn't acknowledge he just leaned against Larry's chest. Larry scooped him up and headed inside.

"Ash, call my mom to come get us." Larry said. Ashley nodded and started calling. Larry headed for the bathroom, but Sal shoved away from him. Larry frowned.

"come on Sal, you need to change." Larry said.

"I'll change at home or something." Sal muttered.

"Larry! Sal!" Lisa shouted running in, thankfully the school wasn't far from the apartments. "what happened?" Lisa ask her eye's landing on Sal.

"I left for a fucking field trip and he got attacked!" Larry growled. they managed to lead Sal to the principals office, who was surprised.

"who did this?" he ask. Sal opened his mouth, but glanced at Larry. Larry was pissed, he couldn't name the students. Sal sighed hard through his nose and took a piece of paper, grabbing a pen. he wrote eight names down, glancing at Larry to make sure he wasn't watching. Sal passed the paper to the principal. the principal wasn't worride about why Sal was watching Larry. Larry had a habit of punching anyone who hurt Sal.

"this all of them?" the principal ask. Sal shrugged.

"all of them I knew. there was like 20 of them. I could point them out but I don't know their names." Sal sighed. Larry pulled Sal close. they talked to the principal before letting them go home. Larry had a plan, if that many people in the school were homophobe, he was going to fix that.

it had taken some convincing, but he got all his friends in on it and a couple others, who weren't good friends but felt bad about what happened to Sal. they all dyed their hair a different color. Sal's was still pink, Larry's was red, Ashley's was yellow, Todd's was green, Neil's was orange, Chugs was purple. they each wore bright rainbow colored pants and different t-shirts. Sal's shirt was covered in rainbows with bright sparkly letters saying 'I'm not gay, but my boyfriend is'. Larry's was black with 'GAY AF' in bright red letters with a rainbow over the words. Ashley had an 'I support LGBT' shirt on. Neil wore a bright pink shirt with yellow letters that said 'Gay men suck _{(if you ask nicely.)}. Todd's shirt was grey with black letters saying 'I got 99 problems and society's attitude towards sexual orientation and gender identity covers like 98 of them'. all had 7 bracelets, one for every color of the rain bow, that said 'I support LGBT' on them. Sal was nervous about this as they all walked in together.

"how the hell did you get this stuff over night?" Ashley ask.

"I have people." Larry replied.

"Larry they're staring." Sal muttered, playing with his hair. his dad had to cut it into a pixie cute because how bad they'd cut it last night. Larry and Ashley cut their hair as well, so Sal wouldn't be as upset.

"they're supposed to Sal." Larry replied. a group of bigger male teens blocked the hallway and Sal coward behind Larry. Larry turned his head slightly and pulled Sal back to his side, holding his hand tightly.

"we don't want, fags like you in our school." Travis glared. in a fit of anger Sal glared.

"you're just angry because we can be openly gay and happy!" Sal shouted. Larry looked over at Sal with a grin. Ashley had an 'oh shit' grin on her face.

"you got something to say to me faggot?" Travis hissed, walk over. Sal swallowed had, staring at the bully.

"I believe he just called you gay." Larry smirked, shoving Travis. Sal straightened up and smirked under his mask. he could do this, Larry had his back.

"you're only homophobic because your so afraid to come out! you know people would judge you! but guess what, they judge you more for being a completely huge piece of shit! this is our school too, not yours and we have a right to be ourselves." Sal hissed.

"Sal's right!" Todd agreed.

"why would I want to be a fag like you!?" Travis hissed. Larry pulled a pack of cigarette's out of his back pocket.

"this is a fag you idiot and I don't know about you guys," Larry said looking at his friends. "but I'm not a cigarette, even if I smell like one." Larry smirked, putting them back in his pocket.

"my god he said something smart." Sal teased. Larry shoved him. just as they were sure a fist fight was about to go down, the entire group of boys behind Travis was called to the office. Sal scratched the back of his neck slightly. "remember yesterday, when you stripped me down and tied me up for hours? I fucking do. you guys are so going to get it and I'm going to laugh so fucking hard." Sal hissed staring at Travis. they headed for the principals office. Sal took Larry's hand and smiled. this wasn't so bad, this was actually fun. this was the best day of school ever.
