High School never Ends

Out of my league

Virgil's Pov.

It's been a week into high school and I'm already dreading having to go. My classes and grades are the only things going well for me. No one besides Janus and my teachers talks to me which is fine to me at this point. Janus keeps wanting me to sit with him and Remus, but I politely refuse not wanting to possibly embarrass Janus. I sigh walking to my table to find Janus and Remus already sitting there. Janus beaming a large smile at me.
"Hey Virg, how're your classes so far?"
"Fine," I say and sit down and pull out my lunch. Janus looks over to Remus who is on his phone.
"So Virgil, Remus, and I thought we would start sitting with you at lunch If you're okay with that"
"Sure" I nod and Janus smiles, even more, Remus even starts to smile, noticing Janus's mood. After a few moments, another kid walks over and smiles brightly at Janus and Remus.
"Hey Jan, Hey Bro"
"Hey Roman, this is my brother Virgil." Janus looks over to me.
"Hi" I feel myself almost stutter. He's such a good looking guy. Deep brown eyes almost a dark chocolate. His hair is a nice light brown. In other words completely out of my league.
"Nice to meet you Virgil" Roman smiles brightly at me making my heart race.
Roman sits next to Remus and they all talk while they eat. After a while, I look at the time and excuse myself, and head to my next class early. For the rest of the school day, I find myself thinking of Roman. I sit in Science trying my best to pay attention but still can't help but scribble a bit in my notebook. I hear the bell ring and begin to pack up my stuff and head out, but before I can head out Logan clears his throat." Hey, Virgil you okay? You seem a bit distracted today."
"Oh yeah, I'm fine," I say with a bit of hesitation hoping he didn't notice. Logan nods and I head out pulling my hoodie up noticing the dark and stormy sky. About halfway through the walk home, it starts to rain. I'm the first one home like usual so I head up to my room and still find myself thinking about Roman. The way his green eyes shimmered when he smiled at me. I shoved my face into my pillow mumbling into it. "What is wrong with me...I barely even know him." I sigh and shove my face further into my pillow.

Janus's POV.
(Though it'd be a fun change)

At dinner, I notice Virgil's extra quiet and spaced out. I nudge him a bit making him flinch a bit in reaction. " Oops didn't mean to startle you Virge you just seem super dazed" I apologize. "It's quite alright Jan, just spaced out I suppose," He says and goes back to picking at his food. Logan looks over to me before nodding a bit. "So Virgil meet any new friends at school today?" Dad asks. Virgil bites his lip before finally replying. " I met Remus's brother but I wouldn't call him a friend, I only really said hi." I finally speak up " Yeah, it was nice to see you speak to someone". He looks at me smiling a bit and playfully rolls his eyes. " I know, I guess there's a first for everything". I smirk and rough up his hair a bit. " I know who knew my little brother could speak to someone". He continues to smile, making everyone smile. I think it's due to how rare his genuine smiles can be, when you finally get to see them it just makes you want to smile.

After dinner, I head up to my room to talk to Remus on our nightly facetime. I mostly listen to Remus babble about something he thought of or one of his many "Ideas". He must have noticed my mood cause he speaks up. " Wow, you must be in love with me right now, cause your face is just spelling happiness". I feel my cheeks heat up a bit. "As much as I love you Ree I'm just happy to see my brother smile today. A genuine one too." "My brother also seems more annoyingly happy today too, maybe it's a virus or something," Remus smirks and makes my laugh a bit.

Virgil's Pov.
(Back to the regularly scheduled POV.)

I find myself doodling in my notebook humming one of my favorite songs. I then look over the doodles realizing I've been doodling Roman, I quickly rip it out and throw it into the trash feeling the happiness/ giddy finally drain out. I curl up a bit trying to keep my breath steady as the tears stream down my cheeks. I shouldn't even be this upset. I don't even know him, for all I know I won't ever talk to him again. I finally let myself sob into my hands, trying to not alert anyone especially my dads. After what seems like hours I finally stop crying, still feeling overwhelmed by my new emotions. I hear a quiet knock on my doorway to see my brother. He sees my face and walks over and sits next to me. "Hey it's okay, can I touch you?" I feel myself tear up again as I push myself into his chest. He pulls me close and rubs circles in my back helping relieve the tension. We sit there a bit till I start to feel a lot better. His eyes were still filled with worry. "I'm sorry, I-I honestly don't know why I'm so upset," I say, still trying to figure it out for myself. "You did have a pretty long week Virgil, you probably overwhelmed yourself with everything," he says, his voice steady and calm. "You're probably right, like usual, Mr. Future lawyer." He chuckles a bit at my comment." I wonder who we get our intelligence from huh?" he says referring to Logan. " How about we watch some movies and relax for the night, It is Friday after all" He suggests. I nod and he puts on Nightmare before Christmas on and we watch the movie together. About halfway through the film, I feel myself starting to fall asleep. Janus smiles and pulls my blanket over me and tucks my in before shutting off the movie and letting me sleep for the night.
