The bus came with 3 seat benches. The trio went to the seats just ahead of the back bench. Chase sat in the middle, with Skye and Marshall on the sides. In a few minutes, the driver started the engine, and the students started their journey home.
The rain really picked up, and soon, there was a huge traffic jam. Everyone was irritated that they were stuck and had to wait a long time to get home.
The three were just having a decent chat about how their day went. In the middle row, two boys were bullying a smaller kid, and the trio watched from behind.
"Well look who it is." Said a tall boy with a spiky jacket.
"It's Mr. I'm Gay." Said another one, a little smaller with a black hoodie and a skull tattoo on his neck.
"Leave me alone! What did I do to you?" Said the kid in the green jacket.
"Hey! Didn't you hear what he said? Leave him alone!" Said Chase, who got up and got the attention of the bullies.
"What are you gonna do if we don't, pretty boy?" Teased the taller one.
"Kids! Quiet down. The traffic is clearing up. We're about to go." Said the conductor. Both Chase and the bullies sat down on their seats.
"Wow Chase. You're brave. Normally I'd be scared of bullies." Skye said.
"Well, he's kinda used to it by now." Said Marshall
"What do you mean?"
"Well, in our last school we used to get picked on a lot. That is, until we decided to fight back."
"Oh."
"Wait, what about you? Have you ever been bullied?" Chase asked her.
"Yes I have. I've been bullied before."
"By looking at you, you don't look like you've been bullied."
"You think so?"
"Yeah. You're beautiful, both inside and out."
The blonde blushed. No one had ever complimented her. She then noticed something. Chase's shirt smelled good. "I don't know what kind of perfume he uses, but dang that shirt smells good." She said in her mind.
She didn't know that she was digging into the brunet's chest. Chase noticed what was happening, and blushed.
After the bullies got off the bus, everyone got up and congratulated Chase. They were cheering for him as if he had won a gold medal.
A few people came up to him and even asked him for his autograph. Naturally, the three were confused.
"Woah woah woah, what did I do?" He asked them
"You opposed a bully. That's what." Said a redhead.
"So?"
"This is the first time anyone has ever gone up against a bully in our school!" Said another boy with spectacles. Chase went to sit with the boy who was being bullied.
"Hi."
"Hey. The name's Chase. And yours?"
"I'm Rocky."
"So, why we're they picking on you?"
"It's nothing."
"Come on, it's okay. You can tell me."
"They bully me because I'm gay."
"Oh. So, why do they care?"
"It's just that they get to tease me whenever they feel like."
"Just stick with us. They won't trouble you now."
"Thanks a ton. It's the first time anyone has stood up against a bully in our school, but you'll need to fly under the radar, because they ain't giving up bullying without a fight." Rocky warned.
"It's okay. We all can handle them."
The driver honked the horn, indicating that they had reached their next stop, which was Chase and Marshall's house. They got up and headed out, followed by Skye.
It was a pretty big house, with 2 floors, a basement, and a 2 car garage. Inside the garage were 2 cars.
"Ooh GTR." Skye said, looking at the blue sports car.
"This is my dad's 1300 WHP 2017 Nissan GT-R." Chase said.
She looked at the second car, which was a little different. It looked older, but sporty. Not to mention those modified body parts.
"And this is my dad's car, a 1200WHP 1997 Toyota Supra." Matshall said.
The house had everything that was in a normal house. Chase, Skye and Marshall went to Chase's bedroom. The only thing was that the house had 2 bedrooms, because one of them was converted into a recording studio.
"So, where will Skye sleep?" Asked Marshall.
"Oh yeah, there are only 2 bedrooms in the house." Chase realised.
"It's okay, I don't mind sleeping on the couch." She said.
"Well, I'm not gonna force you, but if you want, you can sleep with me." Chase suggested.
Skye was exploding on the inside. Even at home he slept in a separate room.
"Count me in." She said.
"Okay, that's the sleeping problem taken care of. You can order anything you want to eat." He told her.
"Sorry, I'm on a diet."
"You WHAT?!?" Chase was shocked.
"I'm on a diet."
"Why do you need a diet? You're slim enough already."
"It's just, I can't really eat told much food."
"Well, I'm not gonna force you for anything."
"Thanks Chase."
They went into the living room, where two pups came running up to them.
"This is Blitz." Said Chase. The German Shepherd barked happily as he ran towards Skye, sniffing her and trying to identify her.
"And this is Brigade." Marshall said. The little Dalmatian ran up to Marshall and licked his face.
"Even I have a little pup at home. It's a female Cockapoo named Angel." She said.
The rain really picked up. It started raining even more heavily than before.
"Good thing we're a little higher elevated than the other houses." Chase said.
"Yeah."
