Stolen Hearts

Gang

•Gray's POV•

"I'm telling you guys, I'm busy, I'm still in highschool and have a lot of work to do!"

They laughed at me still waiting for me to finish explaining.

"Oh please, you? Doing school work? Don't make me laugh G", the leader of the gang said while chuckling lightly.
"What happened? You got yourself a little girlfriend or something?",he asked while staring at me intently.

I turned my head to hide my faint blush while the rest of the gang were 'ooing'.

"What happened to the rules G?
What did I say about the rules that you have to follow in order to be in this gang?",he asked looking disappointed as he leaned back away from me.

"Rule #43: no dating or you will be permanently banned from the gang", I held my head down as I recited one of most important rules in the book he made.
"Exactly, so why? Do you want to be kicked out G? Do you simply not care anymore?"

I just held my head down still as I listened to him, "Why won't you answer me!?", I could see it, he was getting furious but still composed himself to not lash out on me.

"No.", I slowly lifted my head up,"I don't have a girlfriend."

"So why can't you come with us tonight hm?",he was pissed now from the looks of it.

"Ok listen Jason, I'm really busy with my assignments and homework, and you are right I don't do work, I'm slacking off and my work is due tomorrow, I have to complete them by tonight so I unfortunately can't come with you guys even tho I'd really love to", I reply honestly.

"So why don't you bully some other kid into doing it? Isn't your school full of nerds?", Terry, the youngest, asks insensitively.

"You know that I don't tolerate bullying Terry and this is a peaceful gang, it's even in the rules that we mustn't bully anybody or start any unnecessary fights without a reason you immature kid",I say while staring at him blankly.
"And so what? I can do whatever I want wherever I want, I don't need to listen to no rules", Terry huffed out.

"Dude you are fifteen, you're not even supposed to be here",one of the other group members call him out while Terry stood there still fuming.

Jason stepped in while giggling lightly. "Alright boys, let's go, we'll see you later G, make sure to finish up your school work, we don't want you failing school now do we",he softly said as he smiled at me.

I smiled back then headed off to the car park.

•Jason's POV•

"Hey boss why were you so upset?", Terry asked curiously as we walked to our usual hang out spot.

"Ah, Terry, what did I tell you about calling me boss?",I nagged at him.
"Because you are! You're our leader so obviously I should call you that",he tried defending himself.

"Oh please, dude, you only call him boss so it can seem like to your friends your in a mafia, this isn't some fantasy world,
If you were in a mafia you would probably be dead already because of how loud and annoying you are",one of the members spoke.

"Let him be Xander, I don't care if he wants to think that he's in a mafia, I'm just uncomfortable with him calling me 'boss'.", I admitted.

"Of course you are, you're a softie dude", Xander casually said, "H-hey! I'm not a softie!",I try to argue back.

"Then prove it"

"I'll kick you out!"

"You can't kick out your best friend"

"Yes I can! Watch me do it, I'm the one who made this gang, I can do whatever I please."

"You know you'll never survive out here without me"

"Yes I c-"

"Alright! You guys can stop now", Terry cuts me off short while looking angry? Is he jealous or something? I don't even know.

"Anyways boss, you still didn't answer me", Terry started again as we continued walking.
"Answer what?", I asked asked while turning to look at him, I don't exactly remember what he asked me earlier so I'm confused.

"I asked why were you so upset",he repeated, "What do you mean?"
"Earlier when Gray mentioned that he wouldn't be able to hang out with us today you were upset", he explained in more detail.

"I wasn't upset", I laughed softly, "I was just... saddened.. at the fact that he couldn't come with us today"

"But why tho? Why does it matter if he doesn't come, Max almost never comes and you don't complain and why did you bring up the dating rule, we don't even use those anymore because Max has a girlfriend now anyways".

'Agh! He's getting on to me!!
I can't let him find out the reason why!', I silently panic trying to find something to divert the conversation.

"It's nothing important, plus we're almost here kiddo, just don't stress yourself about it too much ok?"

"Ok.."
