Roses (Sallyface x Travis)

Chapter 3

~Travis's Pov~

I woke from the sound of my dad yelling. I had a bad headache and my ears were ringing. I heard my dad yelling at my mom, like always. I got out of bed and put on the clothes I usually wear. I grabbed my cross necklace and put it on. I went up to my room door and looked at it, I didn't want to go down there, not until my dad calmed down. I decided to wait on my bed, I couldn't risk getting another blackeye. I got my cell phone out and got out a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Sally's phone number. I got his phone number from well.. going onto Larry's phone. I didn't mean to! Larry just left his phone in the hallway. After I put Sal's number in my phone, I finally got the courage to text him, "Hey.." I quickly sent the message and put my phone in my pocket.

"C'mon you little shit! You're going to be late!" My dad yelled at me.

"Coming!" I yelled back, running down the stairs and grabbing my backpack.

"Well, I'm off!" I yelled to my parents, not wanting to be in this godforsaken house anymore.

"Okay, bye hun have a great day!" My mom yelled back.

I smiled softly, opening the front door and stepping outside. I sighed and closed the door behind me. I started walking my usual route to school. Once I got there, I looked up at the building. God, I fucking hate this place. The only good thing about this place is.. Well, its this boy named Sallyface. I can't stop thinking about him. I can't exactly explain how I feel about him.. But, whenever I see him I get butterflies inside of my stomach. Of course I don't show that I like him, that's why I'm so mean to him, I just.. I just want him to notice me and this is the only way I know how.

I stepped inside of the school and headed to my locker. Once I got my stuff I headed to my first class of the day.

~Lunch~

Today for lunch was Bologna sandwiches, the best sandwiches I've ever tasted! I started walking towards the lunch line when I suddenly felt someone bump into me. I looked at who it was and it was Sal. I tried not to blush.

"Watch it you gay freak!" I pushed him to the ground.

"S-sorry!" He replied, getting up from the ground and walking over to his friends.

Why did I do this? This hurts more than my dads punches, and that says a lot. God, I just wish my parents would accept me for who I am! I never asked to be religious.. I know this is wrong but I cant help it. I'm gay and I'm in love with Sal Fisher.

The lunch bell rang which meant my next class was with Sal. Thank god! I quickly finished my lunch and walked to my class. I sat in the spot where I was assigned to sit. I sighed and laid my head on the table, I looked up and saw Sally walk in. He's so beautiful. The teacher walked into the classroom and started talking.

"Alright class, to start off, you have new assigned seats."

I lifted my head up, praying that my assigned seat was next to Sal.

"Alright, Maple you sit with Liam." the teacher stated.

I crossed my fingers.

"Lily you sit next to Melanie aaand.."

"Travis you sit with Sallyface."

Have my prayers been answered for once? I picked up my stuff and headed towards the table where Sally was sitting. I gently sat my stuff down, sitting down next to Sal. After a bit, the teacher finished telling everyone where they sit.

"Alright, now that that's out of the way, lets start talking about the project you'll be working on with your partners. And no, you don't get to choose."

The whole class then sighed or yelled, "No!" OR "Damn it!".

"The person you'll be working with on this project is the person sitting next to you."

I suddenly started blushing. I covered my face and thought to myself, 'my partners going to be Sally!'
