Rumours [BxB] ✔️

IX

The rest of Saturday passed quickly as I spent majority of it with my two amigos, and Sunday was filled with lots of food as well as games and movies so it was great.

At the end of Sunday, I felt a little more relaxed than I had previously, so that was also a good thing.

Also, the bruising had finally vanished and the pain was nearly gone, however there was still a feeling of unevenness and stress pulling at the strings of my mind.

After all that happened on Saturday, I wasn't sure what to think. I highly doubted that James would let me get away with talking like that to him, and after what Ash and I did, I felt quite uneasy about the whole thing in general.

It wasn't every day that you kiss your bully of five years, and especially not when he's a straight guy.

Yeah right, he's as straight as my hair after I spent five hours curling it. He's as straight as a bendy ruler. He's as straight as a cooked piece of spaghetti. He's as strai-

You get my point.

That wasn't my main concern though.

I was afraid James would do something to get back at me for shouting, and I knew that if he tried to, he would undoubtedly succeed.

Everything had been too serious recently, and I was thinking about if I had decided to listen to Harry and Lila about not going to the party, non of this mess would have happened in the first place.

However, that's not how life works.

It doesn't play nice.

And neither do the people.

"You seem quiet, what's up?" Harry asked softly as we made our way towards our first period, History.

Lila had already left due to her not being in the same class as us, and that made me even more on edge. I knew Cole was in this class, and I needed as much support as this poor kid could get.

"Yeah I'm fine." I replied shakily, a small, fake smile on my lips.

Harry raised an eyebrow before stopping me by the door, giving me an unamused expression. "Spill, now."

I sighed, mildly annoyed that he couldn't just drop the subject, but then I felt glad that he actually cared. However, just as I was about to start talking, someone grabbed the sleeve of my sweatshirt and dragged me off and away from the classroom I was about to enter.

"Woah there!" I shouted as I stumbled backwards, tripping over my own feet and almost hitting seven students, two lockers and a handful of other things along the way.

"Follow me." A voice hissed before releasing me and slipping into a classroom which was mainly used for storage.

Or, y'know, other stuff.

I followed them inside, bewildered about who they were and why they randomly stole me away from one of the classes that I actually like.

Lets say I almost choked and died when I saw who it was.

"Cole? Why the hell did you drag me over here?" My eyes were wide and I leant back against the wall, arms crossed half out of defence and half because it comforted me.

"Okay, Riv. I know you won't believe me and that's understandable, and you probably don't want anything to do with me either, but something strange is going on and I just want to say that I-"
