I was sat in my English class, bored out of my mind when my friend, Tom, caught my attention by sticking his tongue out at me.
I laughed and discretely stuck my tongue out at him.
'y/n and Tom, pay attention.' My teacher shouted, causing me and Tom to laugh even more.
I continued on with my English work, I looked up at my other friend, Ruel, and he side eyed me and looked away.
'Ruel?' I whispered, firmly.
'What?' He whispered, bluntly.
'Are you ok?' I asked.
He just rolled his eyes and looked back at his desk and continued with his work.
Shortly after this, the bell went and the teacher dismissed everyone. It was break and I went to ask Ruel what was wrong. He had long legs so he was far ahead of me so I had to run to catch up with him.
'Ruel, are you alright?' I questioned.
'I'm fine, stop asking.' He said, cutting off the conversation.
'You're obviously not, why can't you just tell me what's wrong?' I asked.
He ignored my question and stormed off, glaring back at me.
I dropped my head down, feeling upset with how Ruel was acting when Tom ran up from behind me.
'Hey y/n!' He beamed.
I didn't reply, I just smiled in his direction.
'What's wrong?' He asked.
'Ruel's upset with me and he won't tell me why.' I confessed, looking down.
'Ugh, who cares, he's a dick anyway.' Tom groaned.
'Don't talk about Ruel like that!' I said firmly.
'Why do you care so much about him? It's not like you're a couple.' He sneered.
'It's none of your business, Tom.' I snapped and walked off, trying to find Ruel.
I searched through what felt like the whole of my school, desperately trying to find Ruel.
I saw Ruel so I began running towards him when Tom stood in my way.
'Move out of my way Tom!' I shouted.
'Move or what?' He said, squaring up to me, trying to scare me.
'Leave me alone.' I said, trying to stay calm.
He didn't say anything, he just came closer to me. Every time I moved to get to Ruel, he would move in the same direction to block my path.
'Why won't you let me get to Ruel!' I shouted, aggravated.
'Because I thought that you were interested in me!' Tom screamed.
'You need to back off!' Ruel said to Tom, seeing me obviously uncomfortable.
'And why to you care what I say to y/n, you were the one that walked off when y/n tried to talk to you?' Tom asked, sniggering.
'Because, because I-' Ruel began.
'Come on, spit it out!' Tom laughed.
'I really like y/n and I got jealous when she was having such a good time with you, Tom.' He admitted.
'Ha, well jokes on you Ruel, y/n likes me!' He said, pointing his finger in Ruel's face.
'Yeah don't be to sure about that, Tom.' I said walking over to Ruel.
'I like you too.' I said, making Ruel smile widely.
