Yeah I said I'd be just fine here but I took that back the second I walked into a classroom and got tripped up by some eboy headass. He laughed about it with his friends while I was on the floor. I felt embarrassed and warm tears built up in my eyes, stinging them. Then Benji walked in. He scooped out the situation and then went to my side and helped me stand up.

"Benji, why are you helping up, him?" She spat the word out at me like I was so toxic she couldn't even say my name. I'll give her a pass since she might genuinely not know it. But next time I'll beat her uptight face in if she refers to me in a sick tone like that.
I waited and listened for Benji's answer as the guy and girl sat there confused.

"Jorge is my friend, so back the fuck off, and don't harass him. He has enough to deal with as it is." Benji replied confidentially, then pushed me gently towards the front of the class to a seat next to him. I felt grateful to have him by my side. "Are you okay babe?" He whispered to me from his seat. I immediately looked up and flashed a smile. Just him calling me little names made me feel 100000x better.

"Yeah I am, thank you Benji. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Probably die" He suggested with a laugh and I just nodded.

"Yeah probably." I said in reply, then the teacher walked in and quieted the class down while he talked. He introduced me as a new student, and made the class do the awkward greeting bullshit, but when it was finally over, the class was kind of interesting. And it made it even better that Benji was in the class with me.

The class went by pretty quick and before I knew it, the bell rang signaling another class and was starting soon. I walked out into the hallways with Benji as we discussed the lesson we just learned. He kept talking, moving his hands around while he spoke loudly over others in the halls so I could hear. It made me laugh, but I couldn't focus. His lips were so distracting. What would it feel like to kiss them? They looked incredibly soft.

"Angel, you okay?" Benji said abruptly and stopped as we were at my locker and I looked up at him. He looked a bit worried and his smile slightly faded. I must've looked too focused and worried him.

I pushed him playfully, "Benji, I'm fine! I just got distracted" I laughed and then turned to my locker and opening it, grabbing a few things.

"Oouu, by what?"

"you." I mumbled under my breath as I shut it, I turned to look at him and he had one eye brow raised. It was the cutest thing I've seen in awhile.

"What was that?" He laughed, obviously not hearing me.

"Nothing, you've got to get to class, hurry, I have a free period in the Library." I said and reminded him, he nodded and then headed off, walking backwards as he left. A huge smile on his face, I bursted out laughing as he almost fell then turned forward to walk finally, waving over his shoulder. "See you at lunch!" I called then headed in the direction of the library.

I wondered what I was to do in the library. I walked in, and it was extremely large. It was a huge change from my last school, which was pretty small. There were a collection of chairs in the corner and I decided that would be the best place to stay for the period. I took out my book, but then decided I'd rather just stay on my phone. I scrolled through social media's and then suddenly got a text.

I smiled at my phone looking at our conversation then got a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw a taller brown haired boy. "Uhm..hi?" I suddenly felt really anxious. Why had he approached me?

"Hi, I'm Chase" He sat down next to me and held his hand out. It was a bit awkward, but I shook it and gave a small fake smile.

"I'm Jorge" He nodded like he already knew that. Ah okay.

"Was that Benji Krol you were just talking to?" Chase motioned to my phone and I instantly felt even more shy and hid my phone. Fuckkkk.

"Y-yeah why? Do you know him?" My heart was beating out of my chest. What if he found out I was gay? I could get bullied again just like my last school. I felt my breath hitch as he glanced at the floor then me.

"Benji sort of has a reputation around here," He paused for a second and I got slightly angry. Just spit it out already. Ugh. "He tends to use people, and when he's done he moves on, and forgets. He's always acted sweet, but underneath it all, he just, doesn't care."

It sounded like bullshit to me. At least I wanted it to be. I felt freaked, I didn't want to be used, and Benji didn't even express he had feelings anymore. I looked at Chase and scowled. "And you know this..how?"

"It happened to me." I tried to hide my shock but it didn't work. Well shit. I felt bad.

"You and Benji..? I'm sorry" I said and ran a hand through my hair. I did feel bad. But I didn't think he should just assert himself in Benji and I's friendship. It was upsetting.

"Yeah, and It's fine. I'm over it now, but I just wanted to tell you. I should go though, I'll see you around Jorge." Then he disappeared past all the bookshelves.
That was fucking weird.
I should talk to Benji about it.
Chase seemed so sure about what he said. That it was a thing that happened a lot.
I hope that wasn't true.
C'mon Benji I really liked you.
Shit.
