When I got back to our room, James was lying in bed, death staring the wall. I sighed and walked over to him "What's wrong Griff?" He rolled over to look at me "Veronica and Lance." I sAT next to him "What do you mean?" He put his head on my lap "She knows that I like you. Everyone in the room but Lance knows. Then she asked me right in front of him. She knows I don't want him to know." I shrugged "So? It's not like he would care." "But still. I don't like him." I rolled my eyes "Come on. You barely ever talk to him. Did you even have a class with him last year?" "Well, no. But he was an ass the first week." "Wow, you really know how to hold a grudge." He shrugged. "Hey, Veronica mentioned that you were bullied for being gay at your old school. Do you wanna tel me about it?" He sat up "She WHAT?" "She said you were bullied at your old school for being gay." He stood up "I can't believe she did that! She PROMISED that she wouldn't mention it. EVER. I'm going to kill her." I laughed "Calm down James. It's not a big deal." "No, she promised that she wouldn't talk about it. So first, they make me admit to being gay in front of Lance, then you too, then you make me have him sit in my lap. Then you sat in his lap. Then she wanted me to admit to liking you in front of Lance." "James, calm down. It was just a game, it didn't mean anything. And you said that you were going to try and be nice to him." "But you guys put me in an uncomfortable position, which you knew I was trying to avoid!" I had enough. I stood up "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM? It WAS A JOKE!" "I DON'T CARE! THEY KNEW THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY WITH LANCE OF ALL PEOPLE THERE!HES A JACKASS AND A BITCH!" "SO? THATS JUST WHAT YOU THINK OF HIM! YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TRY AND BE NICE TO HIM! LANCE IS A GOOD PERSON!" He raised his eyebrow "REALLY? SO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID AND DID THE FIRST WEEK?" This bitch. Of course I remember, I was there "OF COURSE I REMEMBER YOU DIP SHIT! BUT HE'S OBVIOUSLY CHANGED! AND HE'S PIDGE AND HUNKS BEST FRIEND, AND VERONICA'S BROTHER! GIVE HIM A CHANCE AND STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE!" I can't believe him. "Keith I-" I help up a hand "I don't wanna hear it." I walked into the bathroom and slammed the door. I understood were he was coming from,but he was overreacting. Lance had obviously changed. He wasn't as noticeably over confident and snarky. He even apologized. HE APOLOGIZED. TO BOTH OF US. James was just being an asshole. I can't believe it. We've been dating for around a month and we're already fighting. It doesn't matter, its not that important. I don't understand why he can't just forgive and forget? If I can, he can.
James POV
I can't believe it. It been a little over a month and we're already yelling at each other. But why does he trust Lance? And he looked and sounded really mad. Maybe I should give Lance a chance. I mean he was pretty nice to Keith during the game, and completely okay with us being gay. Then again he's 50% gay too. Maybe I should apologize to Keith. I looked over to the bathroom, where Keith was. I walked over and knocked on the door "Keith?" "What?" Fuck he sounded mad "Can you come out?" "Why?" "Because I want to talk to you." "Why?" Not this again "Keithhhhhh. Please?" I was leaning against the door, straining to hear if he said anything. All of a sudden, the door was yanked open, and I fell on the ground. I looked up to see Keith with a smirk on his face. You wanna talk? Let's talk." He walked out and sat on my bed. I got up and sat next to him. He crossed his arms and looked at me "Well?" I sighed "I'm sorry for being an asshole." "And...." "For getting mad and yelling at you." He nodded "Good. Goodnight." He stood up and climbed into his bunk "Wait, what?" I was confused. I thought that I'd at least get a hug or something. "What? We talked. I'm tired, and I want to go to bed. Goodnight." He rolled over and immediately started snoring loudly. "Come on Kitten, I know you're awake." No response. "Keith." I whined, to no avail. The snoring had stopped. I peeked over the edge of the bed and was greeted with Keith's sleeping face. "Huh, I guess he really was tired.c I whispered to myself. I climbed in my bed, and after some tossing and turning, I fell into a deep sleep.
