Rye's pov

I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling waiting for my phone to go off telling me it's time to wake up for school. How am I supposed to do this? How am I supposed to act like I hate the love of my life? What of he actually think I mean anything I say or do? What if we get into an actual fight? Just then my phones goes off and I roll over to turn what I think is my alarm I look down and it's actually Andy. I smile as I see ⬇and quickly answer.

Rye: mmm' is all I say when I answer letting him know I was awake up not at all up

Rye: mmm' is all I say when I answer letting him know I was awake up not at all up.
Andy: I just wanted to say I love you before school.
Rye: I love you too.' I mumble but still mean it.
Andy: now..... Get up!!' He yells in my ear causing me to flinch.
Rye: ok damn!' I yell back moving my phone to my other ear. I hear him laugh and then sigh.
Rye: we'll get through this babe.' I reassure him.
Andy: after school can we hang out at your place?' He asks soft and sweetly.
Rye: is that even a question?' I say in fake shock.
Andy: ok... Now get up and get dressed so we can get through today.'
Rye: ok, I love you.'
Andy: I love you too.... And Rye?'
Rye: yes baby boy?'
Andy: no sex in the school bathroom today!' He jokes and hangs up the phone. I smile widely remembering that time we did it in the bathroom and got in trouble for skipping class. Thank god nobody suspected we were together skipping.

***time skip***

Andy's pov

I slowly trudge to my locker and see a very smiley Brooklyn and Jack. I put on a fake smile worried about today.
Brook: hey mate missed you yesterday.' He said pulling me into a quick friendly hug and then Jack does the same.
Andy: yeah sorry I slept in.' I explain and open my locker only to see it get slammed in my face.
Rye: guapo' I turn around and saw Rye smirk at me as he walks away with Mikey. Nobody in the school really speaks Spanish but I know Rye does. I wonder what he just called me. I turn back and reopen my locker and smile only to look up and get a weird look from the boys.
Andy: we made a deal until I'm ready to let people know.' I say not letting any major details out for everyone to hear. They both relax their faces and the warning bell rings.
Jack: well we should get going see ya And.' Jack tells me and grabs Brooklyn's hand.
Brook: bye!' Brook quickly says as he gets whisked away. I get what I need from my locker and head to class.

Most of my classes were just boring but I know math will be interesting seeing Rye is in it with me. (Sorry I'm just now explain their schedules). The bell to go to fourth period rings and I take a deep breath walking into the classroom and I see Rye talking with some other boys. He throws me a quick glance and mouths that word he called me again. "Guapo" and I just stare at him and walk by. The bell rings once more and everyone settles down in there seat. The teacher starts taking role and I feel something hit the back of my head. I turn around to see Rye smirking at me.
Teacher: Beaumont!' The teacher calls and Rye quickly looks up.
Rye: Here!' He said and he moves his eyes down to the paper he threw telling me to look at it with his eyes. I make sure our teacher isn't looking and I pick the wad of paper of the floor and opened it.

"It means handsome."

That's all the note said. I turn around and glare at him confusedly until he mouth the word once more. So guapo mean handsome in Spanish. He was secretly flirting with me so nobody would notice. I raise my eyebrows at him and notice one of his friends were look at me so I just rolled my eyes at rye acting like I'm annoyed and then smiled down at my desk.
Teacher: Fowler!' The teacher called out making me look up.
Andy: here!'
Teacher: Grant!' He continued with roll and I just sat there paper in hand smiling down at it.
Teacher: ok class I'm giving you this packet to work on and you are going to get with a partner!' Our teacher announced. The whole class got excited when he said the word partners but me. I like to work alone on things.
Teacher: but I'll be assigning your partners.' He goes in listing some names and some people are happy with their partners and some weren't.
Teacher: Beaumont your with.... Fowler!' He told us and I whipped my head around to look at Rye. His friends we're laughing at him and he just rolled his eyes and got up. He slowly makes his way over to me and plops into the seat next to me. He glances over at his friends all annoyed and then looks back at me.
Rye: you wanna get started on this?' He asked kinda upset. I just nod and look down at my paper. I feel him inch closer to me and feel his knee touch mine. I figured it was in accident so I shift myself  to where they weren't touching only to have him make them touch again.
Andy: what are we gonna do after school?' I say in a low whisper making him look up from his paper at me.
Rye: I have to watch the monsters today. So that is what' He tells me and I nod. Rye looks around to make sure his friends aren't paying attention. I feel him move himself so no one behind us could see as he place his hand on the desk next to mine rubbing up against it. I smile down at my paper and glance over to see Rye doing the same thing. We work on the packet that was assigned and the bell finally rings for lunch. Rye quickly gets up and grabs his stuff and walks out the class. I sigh when he leaves and gather my things and head out too. As I walk I feel an arm grab me.
Mikey: hey!' It was Mikey. He seemed calm as he walked with me.
Mikey: Rye told me the whole "situation" With the fake bullying.' He whispers carefully so no one hears.
Andy: yeah I told Brook and Jack so they would know too.' I tells him as we both stop at my locker.
Mikey: anyway he told me to give you the message that he hope you know he doesn't mean anything he does.'
Andy: I know. We are hanging out after school at his house.'
Mikey: ok cool...' He breathes out deeply and males strong eye contact with me.
Andy: is there something else?' I ask concerned.
Mikey: yeah one more thing...'
Andy: what?' I ask and Mikey begins to smirk.
Mikey: he wants you to meet in the bathroom next to the broken water fountain.' He tells me and I just stand there in disbelief as Mikey pats my should and walks away.

I don't know why but I find myself at the bathroom hesitating to go in. But I take a deep breath and open the door. All of a sudden I feel really dizzy and the room feels weird.  I walk to the sink and turn on. As I cupped my hands and splashed my face someone sat up on the counter. My eyes need to focus but I know it's Rye. I smile weakly only to see him frown at me.
Rye: are you okay?' He asked concerned.
Andy: I think so.... Just a little dizzy.' I explain and splash my face once more. He quickly hops off the counter and walks over to the dispenser and grabs me a paper towel. I look up in the mirror and dab it on my face. I watch as Rye walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. It grew quite in the room and I just stare into rye's eyes in the mirror.
Andy: I thought I told you no sex in the bathroom.' I say breaking making him smile. He leans down to kiss my neck then turns me around.
Rye: I just wanted to see me boyfriend with out people around.' He smiled making my blush.
Rye: guapo!' He told me and softly pressed his lips against mine.
Andy: ya know someone if gonna find out what that means if u say it too much.' I joke pulling out of the kiss.
Rye: then I'll just find new words to call you!' He smiled widely and looked over at the door hearing people outside. He let go of me and walked over to the door. He gave me a very lovey dovey look and made a quick kissy face before leaving the bathroom. My dizziness came back as I open the door. I look over and see Rye talking with Mikey and he throws a quick smile at me as he leaned against some lockers. I feel myself getting more and more light headed and I start to stumble. My vision starts to go blurry and I see Rye watching fear grew in his eyes. He stood up straight and next thing I know I fall to the floor.
Rye: Andy!' I hear Rye scream before I completely pass out.
