Unexpected Love

Only The Begining

{Gabriel}

I can feel the impact of every kick. I can feel the start of every bruise. I can see the kids around me watching. It's just another day at my fabulous high school Slytherin High. Fucking Harry Potter rip-off. Don't take it the wrong way I love Harry Potter I'm actually in the Slytherin house but this place is no where near magical. I get snapped out of thought with one big blow to the chest leaving me curled up, wheezing on the ground. The bell rings having all the students around me scurrying to class with the sound of faint chuckles slowly leave, though I feel one set of eyes locked on me. I look up to see who it is and only faintly see the colors of the persons jacket. Black, green, and gold. A jock. I don't have time to see the persons face seeing as they turn around and walk off to class. I slowly pull myself up with one hand gripping my stomach. Once I'm on my feet I run my fingers through my hair trying my best to fix it but let it fall in my face my dark clothing making me feel safe alone. I pick up my useless shit laying on the ground around me and stumble my way to my next class trying my best to compose myself. I walk in my English class late, the teacher sighing at me with a soft smile telling me off softly. Her name is Mrs. Jane. She's the nicest person you ever meet but she's not afraid to tell you the truth. She lets me off easy as I make my way over to my seat in the back and pull out my notebook and start sketching a character with the faintest smile on my face as I look down at my work. I've always have a natural talent for the arts. In every way. Art, writing, singing, dancing, music, reading. Like I said. In every way. I see my piece. It's of the person I saw or more less didn't see. All the features are blurry but it's a perfect drawing of what a saw. I pull out some colored pencils and start filling in the colored areas. By the time I'm finished the bell should be going off in the next few minutes then it's time for science class. Not to say that I'm a genius or anything but I stopped paying attention in class at the start of high school because I found myself already knowing all of the material. I already knew everything so I easily passed the tests and did my work with no effort I just didn't need to pay attention. I pack everything up at the sound of the bell. My notebook, pencils, erasers, colored pencils, and personal manual pencil sharpener I stuff into my bag and sling it over my shoulder as I stand up hissing in pain. Fuck. They beat me up good. I hold my stomach once again as I make my way out of class and as I'm right at the door Mrs. Jane says, "Lunch."
I nod my head with a smile on my face. Whenever she does that it always means she's free at lunch and I get to go to her room to eat. It's always a great time. I clench my teeth as I breathe having my lungs be in pain from that one last blow. I sigh then immediately, groaning in pain, as I finally get to the science room being freed from all those prying eyes in the hallway for another class period. I go and sit in the last row of seats right next to the main window in the room. I look out of it admiring the beauty of the nature surrounding this side of the school. It's always been a beautiful view. I can see New Port Beach from here. It's so close but I've never went. I can feel my hair slowly fall over my eyes once more covering more of the view. The other side of the school holds the football stadium and volleyball courts. Because this school honors both football and volleyball equally that means there's twice the jocks and they're all together as friends. It's fucking horrible. They all want to beat up the emo kid and call him a fag even though they don't even know I'm gay! It pisses me off! Either way it doesn't matter.
"Okay students. I will be assigning your last perm group exam. It will be in pares of two. The partners will be based off of your grades. The ones with the highest will be pared with the lowest. Once I call you and your partners name you two will get together. Pick a seat then one will come pick up a sheet from the front table and on the sheet are your instructions for your project. Now the groups. Dan and Phil, Sebastian and Ceil, Patton and Logan, Roman and Virgil, Keith and Lance, Tony and Steve, Dark And Anti, Tobio and Shoyo, Bakugou and Kirishima, Deku and Todoroki, Light and L, Coraline and WhyBe, lastly Gabriel and Teddy."
I immediately snap my head to the jock sitting all the way to the back of the class on the left. Teddy O'conal the star quarterback on the football team. He hasn't dated anyone his whole high school life. How did I get him? Grade wise he must be failing so hard! His gorgeous blond hair flutters through the wing as he turns his head to connect his crystal like blue eyes with my deep green. My hair covering my eyes can't stop his radiating glow from coming into my eyes.
"Fuck." I whisper out. As I see him and his perfect body make his way over to my desk.
"Well seeing as we're partners I'll take the insinuative and say we'll be working here. You can keep your window seat. I'll go grab our paper." He does as he said he would and brings a paper back as he carefully pushes the paper in front of me. I slowly go and look down at it. 'You will be testing out parts of the human senses. One or more. Your choice. Be creative. The rubric is on the back.'

Oh fuck.
