I Love You Keith

Keith POV

Me and Veronica barely made it into class on time.  We ran to our seat, huffing and puffing. The teacher paid us no mind, instead he began writing todays lesson on the board. It was pretty easy, so me and Veronica finished quickly. She looked at me, then whispered "So, James,huh?" I started blushing crazily "W-w-what do you mean?  James what?" I stuttered. "You like him, don't you?"  "N-n-no! What? That's crazy! W-why would you think that?"  "It's really obvious. You blush almost every time you talk to him." I sighed.  "Just promise me that you won't tell anyone. It's kind of personal, and I've never had a crush on anyone before." she nodded "I won't tell a soul." "Not even Pidge?" I questioned. She nodded "Not even Pidge." but an idea popped in my head "You also can't attempt or actually communicate with anybody in the universe about this either." "Fuck! You closed my loophole." "Veronica, please? For me?" I gave her my best puppy eyes. She looked at me and sighed. "Fine. I promise." I smiled brightly. My secret was safe with her. "So.." she began "What do you like about him?" I sighed. " I don't really know. It's just....something about him. But I definitely like his eyes. And he's hot. And he's so nice to me..I don't know what it is exactly. I just like, him." Veronica nodded "I see. That's gonna make being roommates with him complicated." I nodded "But I can't tell him because it might mess up our friendship. I don't want to take the risk." She nodded and we sat in silence for the rest of the class.

We were all in Iversons reading class, waiting for Lance's phone to go off. Lunch had been lots of whispering and laughs, with Lance just sitting there looking confused and occasionally asking "What's so funny?", which just caused us to laugh more. Now we were in class, just waiting for it to go off. Iverson started to explain today's lesson "Okay cadets, today we'll be using names and describing words in poetry. You will also be identifying them in text. Does anyone have an example of a name and a following descriptive word?" Several hand shot up, and he picked Lance. "Mr.Mclain. what is your answer?" Lance opened his mouth to speak, and then, Pidges alarm went off. It started on "IVERSONS AN IDIOT" and he went beet red. Lance looked shocked "I'm sorry sir, I have no idea what's happening. It must be malfunctioning." Me and Pidge looked at each other, and started laughing. Soon the whole class was laughing, and Lance was beet red since he couldn't get his phone to stop. Iverson walked over to him and said "Give it here boy! I think I know how to shut it up." Lance silently handed him the phone. Iverson looked at it, then threw it on the ground and stomped on it a few times. "There, now its quiet." He looked at Lance disapprovingly "Mr.Mclain, what is the meaning of this? You're normally one of my best behaved students." He shook his head "I don't know what happened I'd never so this on purpose. I swear, I didn't do it." Lance said. "Well then who did? I don't have all day McClain." "I don't know.." Lance trailed off. Iverson rolled his eyes "Never mind. But I expect an answer when I get back. He took Lances phone and left the room. Lance continued to look around the room. But then his eyes locked on me. Me and the others were still laughing silently. "You." He growled, marching towards me "You did this." I smiled innocently "What makes you think that?" He grabbed the collar of my shirt, and pulled me up until I was standing on my toes. "You had my phone at breakfast. You've been out to get me since day one,haven't you Mullet head? Insulting me and making fun of me." I rolled my eyes "What do you mean I've been out to get you? You've only known me for a few days, but his is the second time today you've gotten in my face, and I dont know how many time you insulted me. I didn't do anything to your phone." "Let me go" I heard growled from behind me. I turned to see Kinkade and Hunk holding James back. He looked about ready to kill Lance. "No, you don't want to get in a fight this early into school. Be rational James." Kinkade hissed at him "I don't give a fuck, he's messing with MY Keith." His Keith? I turned back towards Lance. "Put me down." I growled, "Now." "Fine,  I'll put you down." Lance said. Then he threw me to the ground and started to punch me. I managed to dodge or block most of them, but he caught me in the lip, and it started to bleed. I started to punch him back, hitting him right in the jaw. He growled and started to punch harder. He got me in the side of the head, and things started to get blurry. "JAMES NO!" I heard someone yell, and I felt Lance get pulled off me. "DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Someone yelled, and I heard blows landing. "Keith, are you okay?" I heard Pidge ask. I nodded my head weakly. My sight cleared again, and I saw Lance and James fighting. Both were already forming bruises, and had skinned knuckles. James had a bit of blood on them, and I saw Lance with a busted lip. So James had pulled Lance off me. Pidge helped me up and the boys started to circle each other.  All of a sudden, James lunged forward, smashing his fist into Lance's rids, who in turn punched him in the jaw. At that exact moment, Iverson walked in. He looked around the room and saw James and Lance surrounded by a fight circle, and me with a bloody lip and bruises. "GRIFFIN, KOGANE, MCCLAIN. TO THE OFFICE. NOW!"
