~time skip to Monday~

NICK POV:

I'm walking to my first period which was actually gym class.  I was never a huge fan of gym class.  I'm also not so excited because Dixie is home sick today so she won't be with me.  I went to the locker room and saw Tony and his friends laughing,  I just tried to silently walk by... but nope.  I felt someone push me against a locker, I looked up and saw Tony.  Wow... I should've known it was all just an act. His expression softened after I was on the ground, he then turned and walked away.  His friends were still laughing... ugh what jerks.  I then felt someone pick me up, he then turned me around and that's when I felt a horrible pain in my ass.  It's not like it's never happened before but... they wedgied me... more specifically, Griffin did.  He was my best friend's boyfriend but he still seemed to hate me for some reason.  Tony was watching from the end of the bench he looked a little terrified and like he was just deep in thought.

"Alright boys, I think that is enough.  Let's just get ready for class." I heard Tony say.  Hmph.  Or maybe he could've just left me alone in the first place. I just went to my locker to get dressed. 

Tony came up behind me and whispered in my ear, "You're kinda hot ya know?" and then he left smirking.  I was blushing pretty hard.

After two laps around the gym, my teacher announced that we were going to do dodgeball.  I. Hate. Dodgeball.  Especially since a bunch of people who tend to bully me are in this class. Somehow, Tony and almost all his friends ended up on the same team and somehow, I'm not on it.  Oh great.

I knew they were going to aim for me.  I stood behind Anthony for a bit of protection. 

"Ya know buddy, you can't use me as your human shield the whole time!" Anthony said while laughing, "But you can for now I guess."

"I won't use you the whole time but thanks so much Ant." I replied.

It was only a matter of time before they got Anthony out.  Then it was just me and some other against pretty much all of them.  Almost all of them were going for me except Tony.  Before I knew it... I saw a ball flying at me.  It hit me right in the head and I fell backwards... everything went black.

TONY POV: 

Omg someone just hit Nick in the head very hard.  Oh no. Why did I somehow see this coming.  I heard our teacher blow the whistle and I walked up to Nick and knelt down next to him. I checked his pulse and he was still breathing so that's good. Hopefully it's just a small bump.

"Mr. Lopez, would you please carry this boy to the nurse's office and make sure he's okay?" Our gym teacher, Mr. Collins said to me.

"Sure thing, teach." I replied.  He glared at me slightly but then smiled.

"Thank you Tony." I nodded my head and knelt back down to Nick

"I'm so sorry bub," I whispered so no one would hear.  With that, I picked him up and started off towards the nurse's office.

I was almost there and I heard Nick groan a little.

"Hey buddy, you feeling ok?" I asked him.

"My head is pounding and I feel slightly nauseous.  What happened?" he asked in a soft, but kind of raspy voice.

"One of those jackasses nailed you in the head with a dodgeball.  You fell backward and blacked out.  I'm bringing you to the nurse, just close your eyes for now Nicky" I explained.  He closed his eyes and a couple seconds late his body went slightly limp again.

I walked into the office and said, "Hello Miss.  This boy here was knocked out by a dodgeball.  Mr. Collins sent me to bring him here."

"Okay, will you please lay him down and sit in one of these chairs? Thank you." she asked and I did as told.  I watched her grab an ice pack and go back to the bed I placed him on. 

She came back to me and asked, "Okay, do you know his last name?"

"Yes, his last name is Austin."

"Nicholas?" (An - idk if it's Nickolas or Nicholas)

"Yes."

She was typing really fast and then she asked me exactly what happened again so I explained.  She then got up to see if Nick was awake. I'm assuming he was because she came back to grab a thermometer. 

"Okay hun, do you need a pass back to class or anything?" she asked me.

"Yes, but is it ok if I talk to him for a bit first?" I asked, hoping she would allow me.

"Sure dear, just come back to me when you're ready."

I walked back to check on Nick.  He had his eyes closed and was on his side in a fetal position.  The bed was surprisingly big enough for me to lay next to him but it was still a little small.  I rubbed his back and saw him smile.

"Hey Nicky..." I said, "I'm so sorry this happened to you."

"It's ok, T.  I kind of saw it coming a little bit."

"I also wanted to say sorry for what happened in the locker room.  I should've never done that, I just felt pressured by... them.  You didn't deserve that and I should've withstood the peer pressure..."  I explained.  He stayed quiet.

"Well, again, I'm sorry.  Is there anything you need." I asked.

"No." he said in almost a whisper.

"Well if there ever is something, don't hesitate to text or call me.  I'll see you later bub."  I said.  With that I got up and left.

After a few hours, I noticed Nick hadn't been in any classes.  I hope he is feeling okay.

NICK POV:

The nurse sent me home and told me to rest.  She said that I was showing some signs of a concussion but that I should be fine.  I'm really tired... and a bit confused.  Tony was mean to me, then he was a bit flirty, and then he was so sweet.  What the hell are you doing Tony Lopez?
