-Kaiden P.O.V-
I walked into school my head hung low with my headphones in. As Soldier by Neffex ended the next song that played made a lump form in my throat. World So Cold played as I spaced out walking just to be moving. The 3 minute warning bell rang knocking me out of my limbo like state. I quickly shuffled to my locker putting in my combination and unloading my backpack. I ripped out one of my headphones grabbing my books but I quickly put it back in. I slowed down walking calmly to first period. The one minute warning bell rang as I sighed walking up the stairs. As I walked into class the bell rang. I barely made it and wasn't late but all eyes were on me since everyone was already in class. I walked to my seat in the back of class and looked down as I saw the occasional eyes land on me. The teacher quickly called everyone's attention and as soon as it started it ended. The rest of the day went like this. All their words going in one ear and out the other. The bell rang dismissing us from class and to lunch. Everyone cleared out quickly and I still sat in my seat. I groaned slowly standing grabbing my books.
"Kaiden right?" The kid who sat next to Quinten and call the police said walking up to me. I didn't know he was in this class but I kinda remember him. He sat next to Quinten in this class and was the new student.
"Yeah." I said not making eye contact as I started to walk out of the room.
"Jaylen, the kid who did it, is out on bail." His words made me stop in my tracks. I swung around wide eyed.
"What? B-But he can't be! That's not possible, they can't do that!" I said looking at the ground.
"Let's talk somewhere private." He said grabbing my arm and dragging me out the classroom. The hallways were now empty as I ripped my arm from the boy.
"I can walk by myself." I grunted under my breath. He stopped for a second but shrugged it off and began walking. I walked next to him through the halls and soon he started talking.
"I'm not big into gossip but I have my connections and they say Jaylens out on bail." He shoved his hands in his pocket with a shrug.
"So you're not sure? I'm outta here." I scoffed. Why should I listen to him if he's not confident and besides I don't even know his name. I started walking away but was quickly pulled back around. He had hold of both my forearms staring at me. We were about the same height but I was a little taller. Obviously.
"You don't have to believe it but sorry I ever wanted to tell you." He glared at me but pushed me away. I stumbled back.
"You don't have any obli—"
"Stop fighting you homos. Quinten is dead and he deserved it." She sighed "Don't be angry cause you don't got a dick to ride anymore Kaiden." I glared at Marissa as she walked by.
"Quinten isn't even gay." I huffed before walking away the other direction.
"Is that true?" He said popping up next to me.
"No." I said flatly.
"Xavier why aren't you in lunch? You know you can't be wondering the halls." The teacher said looking at him almost amused?
"I know Ms.Hill." Xavier tolled his eyes smiling.
"Are you fucking the teacher?" I said bluntly as we continued walking. I don't know why I asked but something didn't add up with how friendly they were being.
"Dude that's my aunt!" Xavier said pushing me softly. I let out a chuckle. "Are you going to the party?"
"I don't know." I shrugged
"It'll be fun! You can finally get over you know, Quinten." He said the last part softly looking at me. I wanted to be angry but I sighed and looked down shaking my head with a smile.
"Okay." I said as his eyes lit up with excitement. Maybe it would be a good idea to go.
"You won't regret this." Xavier smiled widely. I rolled my eyes and for a second Quinten wasn't the only thing on my mind.
"When is it?" I asked as we started walking towards the cafeteria.
"Friday night. It's at uh- Sandra's house." He said looking at me quickly then back in front of him.
"Sandra huh." I said flatly looking forward.
"You're not gonna do anything are you?" He said looking at me suspiciously.
"Nope. Nothing at all, just gonna pay Sandra a visit." I smirked looking at him.
"Kaiden, whatever you're planning, don't do it."
