Rags and Riches -2

(Colby)

I didn't want to go to school, of course I knew there were most likely rumors of me being a thief. Even though I didn't do anything.

I slipped my beanie on my head, and converse on my feet then began the walk to school. When I walked in, it was just normal. There wasn't anyone looking at me or saying anything. As usual, I saw Sam walking with Corey. He looked at me, then looked away quickly.

Rolling my eyes, I went to my first hour to meet with Jake. "Hey.." I mumbled.

"Bro, why're your eyes so puffy? Are you okay?" Jake asked quickly.

"Nah, your boy here's a thief. Better luck next time." Corey said, patting my back roughly and walking to his seat.

"Colby..?" Jake, as I could tell, was very confused.

"Jake, I didn't do it.." I explained everything. I told him how Sam gave my family food and the next day he took me to his house during school. I explained that I was looking around his room, and I didn't touch a single thing. The maid put it in my pocket and set me up. Then I explained that he and I were kissing and he-

"I'm sorry, you what!? He kissed you!?" Of course he had to say it too loudly, and Corey overheard. His head snapped in our direction. "Colby, this is Sam we're-"

I covered his mouth, "Jake, you idiot, shut the fuck up." I whisper yelled, scolding him.

Corey got up, and sat in the empty seat next to me. "Tell me you're lying. Sam's straight, so don't be spreading rumors.."

"Corey, I'm not lying. Kats his cover up, he's gay. His fucking maid slipped the watch in my pocket, I didn't nor ever would steal from him. Please help me tell him that. He said he liked me, and I told him I liked him. I do, like him." I pleaded, Corey looked suspiciously.

"I can second that, he's had a crush on Sam for a while. He obviously couldn't say anything because well.. high class prep. I know when Colby is lying, he doesn't keep a straight face and he fiddles. He likes him, and he's the most honest person you'll meet. If you don't help him, I'll be helping him anyway and I'll do anything to show Sam who Colby is. He is my best friend and I won't let people put him down, or make him look bad." Jake ranted, it made me smile though. He's my best friend, he always stands up for me.

"Okay." Corey said, turning and facing forward. He stayed sat next to us the whole entire class, not moving or saying a word. When class ended, Jake and I began walking down the hall but heard our names. Turning to see who it was, Corey stood there. "I believe you. Sam's been caught staring at you, I always just brushed it off. I'll talk to him." With that, he walked away and in the other direction.

(Sam)

"Sam, I uhm, I talked to Colby today in first hour." Corey said as we sat at lunch, I just nodded and took a bite out of my food. I glanced at Colby and Jake who weren't eating anything.

"Why'd you talk to him." I said, more than asked.

"He told me what happened, Sam I think a maid or something set him up. He said she slipped it in his pocket. I.. I believe him Sam. It's weird that I do.. but maybe also because he didn't lie to me." I looked up at Corey quickly.

"When did I lie to you?" I asked him.

"You're gay?" Corey asked, biting out of his apple. "I don't mind really, I mean I've seen glancing at boys before like you would think they're cute or something but I thought I looked at it wrong. Then, you started looking at Colby a whole lot. I thought you just hated him or something but it's more than that, right? I mean, you kissed him. I had to hear that from him. Was he lying?" Corey didn't seem mad, or upset. I couldn't tell him emotion actually, and it worried me.
