The next day at school seemed to quiet for my liking. Kim and Samantha had to do things with the student council all day so they were almost nonexsistant. Vinny and Kenny were out due to work related injuries. And Roman barely spoke a word to me all day. I strode down the hall hanging my head low. People kept giving me weird looks all day like I had caught some desise, luckily I was in between classes so I could avoid people.

I kept walking before I head voices calling down the hall. "Hey! You are the kid from the party right? The one flirting with that guy on the back deck."

The two looked like pieces of meat with a combined IQ of maybe fiffty. I brushed them off and kept walking before one grabbed my shoulder stopping me. "You are aren't ya? Ya know we don't really care for your kind." Your kind? What was he talking about? They started walking toward the bathrooms practically carrying me. "Hey! Let go!" I tried squiring my their grips were to strong. We ended up in the bathroom of the south wingg of the school. No one ever comes down here. They let go of me as red flags popped up more and more in my head.

"Listen you must have the wrong guy." The biggest out of the two shook his head and pulled up a picuter on his phone. It was when Roman had caught me while I was falling. But the photo looked like he was cardeling me almost. "It's not what you think man." I tried to brush past them but got slammed im to the wall. "Bullshit. We know what you are fag."

As the last word left his mouth I get a fist collide with my stomach making me double over in pain. After I hit the ground it was a flurry of punches and kicks from all around. No spot was safe. Ribs, jaw, back, legs, every where was being hit and I couldnt do anything about it, besides lay back and play dead. I couldnt take these two on alone that would be suicide.

After a few minutes it stopped and I heard the two leaving talking about how great that was. I peeled myself off the floor sucking in breaths as the pain florished all over. I ran my tongue across my bottom lip where i tasted blood and slummped against the wall. What just happened? Why did this happen? The picuter was completely out of context! But were we really flirting? Who cares, I've got to warn Roman before those guys go after him. I reached for my phone and saw in the flurry of kicks one had struck my phone shattering the glass on the screen making the touch activity not want to work.

I slid my phone to the side and sat there a bit longer before finally finding the strangth to hoist myself up . I caught a glimps of myself in the mirror and cringed. My lip was split open and I already had bruises forming on my jaw and around one of my eyes. I gingerly made my way put of the bathroom and in to the hall as the bell rang releasing kids for lunch. I just pulled my hood up and slowly made my way through the crowd to the cafeteria.

I sat at my table alone not eating. I wasnt feeling to hingry after what just happened. A tray slid down across from me, I just tucked my head down so they wouldn't see how much it even hurt to breath right now.

"My house after school, we have to start working on the power point." Romans deep voice made me peek through my hair at him, but I staied silent. "What's wrong with You?" The pain kept growing more and more around my ribs as I took in short breaths. All I could manage to say was, "Watch out, if you see two lumbering idiots come up to you. Get away from them." I placed my head back down feeling like i was going to pass out.

"Hey, Damon. Look at me." He jerked my head up and I saw his eyes go wide and fill with fire. His eyes made their way from my black eye to my split lip down to the bruise on my jaw. Didn't help I had bruises he couldnt even see. His jaw clenched up and he let go, lettin my head fall back down. "Where." I peeked up cocking an eye brow. "Where did this happen so I know where to find those guys next."

I shook my head no not wanting to answer. "Fine." Roman stood up and i watched him vetuer out of the cafeteria and vanish down the halls. I was in to much pain to attempt to go after him and tell him just to drop it. But I couldnt muster the strength.
