Living Closeted

Exam Month

Guys, I swear nobody warns you when you about the difficulty of a math-computer science school profile. Five exams in Literature, Math, Physics, Computer Science and French. I studied zero-hours up to this point.

December first week.

If you count from that infamous Monday there were 4 days left of November. Which were extremely awkward. Any time I'd walk on the hallways I could hear somebody whisper something behind my back about me. Some were positive comments. Others not so. Did I care?

NO!

It was time I grew up. The world is a bitch and I ain't got no one in it to care for my ass but myself. From now on I'm never letting anyone get under my skin.

I don't get to keep the promise. That very day I'd break it.

I was walking towards the chemistry laboratory on the 3rd floor. I held my head high as I chatted with Emma and now Aya which knew everything about that night from Emma. Ayala comforted me and told me Adrian's a loser

OF COURSE 2 KINDRED SPIRITS WE'RE GOING TO BE BESTIES

We passed dozens of students and I didn't care one second what they were thinking 'cause I had my friends by my side. I take my seat in the lab I put on my coat. There were some strange items on the table set by the teacher's assistant. I smiled. Experiment day. I just hope I got assigned someone nice. I hope it's the redhead. It wasn't but Ethan Sheppard joined. He was the tallest guy in my class. Dark olive-skinned, brown eyes, slender body but he looked kinda good too. He's consistently drifting between groups. Now he's with a group now his with Adrian's (a 3 guys group). He was cool. But he must be between the very few who didn't get to see what happened at the ball. He'd been very cool about it. He didn't ask much about it. But I could feel he wanted to really really ask me or tell me something.
' Just ask ' I tell him.

' Well... It's not that it's any of my business... but everybody's talking about you and Adrian '

YOU BET THEY ARE !!

The only thing that was making me feel good is that I was conscious that they weren't talking about just me, they were talking about me and Adrian. So that means he's having one hell of a week. I hope somebody calls him a fagg though no one should ever be called that... Shit now I feel bad about him... Stop it he deserves it.
' What about it? '

' Well... I just wanna say I noticed how he's been giving you a hard time here... I know him from before... He's just wired like this. '

' That's no excuse for what he's doing... nor is for the reason behind it '

' I know... But that wasn't what I wanted to say. You're cool ok? Very few get back at him... and you really did...big time '

A devilish smile curving on my face. Yass!

' Well... I mean I was drunk... It could've been more epic if I wasn't...' I tried to say without putting to much pride in it.

That was the highlight of the first week of December. Now for the following days, even Adrian started to show signs of exhaustion from studying. The first exam was this Friday. The next 2 the following week. And the last in the 3rd and last week of December and of this term. I aced the ones in Literature, Physic but I got only a seven in Maths and fives in both French and Computer Science. Still, my average term grade earned me a 2nd tier scholarship.
