I Can Save You (Kellic)

The Stares

Chapter Two-

I walked into the cafeteria, Justin and Matty at my side, while we walked to our table. Honestly, I was more then nervous about going to lunch today. Yesterday, before school started some of Oli's "friends" threatened me since I ran away from Oli, he'd "clobber" me today, his words, not mine. And since Oli was no longer at school, his friends would be the ones to carry that out. There were two groups of popular kids.

You had Vic's group, which mainly consisted of Vic himself, Jaime Preciado, his best friend, Mike Fuentes, Vic's younger brother, Tony Perry, Alex Gaskarth, Nick Martin, Jack Barakat, and Austin Carlile. They were the relatively nicer group, who didn't beat kids up on a daily basis. Then there was Oli's group. Oli, Chris Motionless or Cerulli depending on who you asked, Andy Biersack, Ashley Purdy, Josh Franceschi, Lee Malia, Matt Kean, and Matt Nicholls. They were the ones who you had to avoid at all cost. They didn't care you were, they'd crush you. But sometimes, Vic's group would act up.

Then there was my group. Jeremy McKinnon, Justin Hills, Matty Mullins, Jack Fowler, Gabe Barham, Jesse Lawson, and me. We were the losers of the school, at least to the popular kids we were. And sure, there was a ton of other kids who were labeled losers, but I just hung out those guys mainly. We were a big target for Oli's group. Vic's group mostly left us alone.

And while we're on the subject of Vic Fuentes. Yes. I do think I may have a crush on him. But how could you not? He was incredibly good looking, and at times, he seemed nice. One or more problems with this. I was 99.99% positive he was straight, and, I was the loser who his group picked on at times. He's never even looked back at me. But then again, I was always thought there was something off about him. The way he held himself, like he wasn't afraid of anything. I could kind of tell that it was just an image, and that something, really scared him. What I didn't know.

"Yo, Kellin!" Justin's yelled pulled me out of my thoughts, as I turned to look at him, as he gave me a weird look. "You completely stopped in the middle of the hallway." He said, raising his eyebrow, as him, Matty, and the rest of my friends gave me a weird look from our table. I shook my head, shrugging.

"Sorry, jumbled thoughts." I told him, before continuing to walk to our table, ignoring the weird looks I got for standing there. Justin and Matty shrugged it off, following me to our table. When I sat down, I noticed how quiet it had gotten. I raised an eyebrow at them.

"You just spent about five minutes starring over at Vic's table. Something you want to tell us?" Gabe asked with a grin, raising his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes. Sure, I had a crush on Vic, but there was no way I'm telling them that, I'll never hear the end of it if I do, so I shook my head.

"No, I just zoned out." I said, shrugging my shoulders, and quickly trying to change the conversation. "What are we doing this weekend?" I asked Jack, who simply grinned in response, while everyone stared at him, almost worried.

"Well. To celebrate school ending in 4 months," Which he says at the end of every single fucking month. "We are throwing a party." He said, a grin still planted firmly on his face. Almost all of us, as he continued. "And this month, it will be at Justin's." He said, making Justin shrug his shoulders. Don't get me wrong, Jack's party's are always the best parties in the entire world, even one of the popular kids said that once, I think it was Jack Barakat or Mike Fuentes, either way though, Jack's parties are legendary. But, after going to one every month, you get tired of being hungover the day after.

"This weekend?" Jeremy asked him, raising his eyebrow. Jack nodded his head, grinning while Justin groaned, making all of us laugh.

"Dude! I have to clean my house in two days?!" He asked, his eyes wide in surprise. Jack nodded, a smirk on his face. I, being the nicest person at our table, offered to help him. Justin grinned, thanking me over and over again. I had been to his house, it wasn't "terrible", but it was messy.

The rest of lunch was spent about us talking about the plans for the weekend, and wondering who all was coming. Jack had made friends with one or two of the popular kids from Vic's group, but he wasn't very close with them, yet he still planned to invite them, which probably meant that whole group was going to be there. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with that, but still, it still made me uncomfortable, knowing the popular guys would be there, and then there was Vic.

If he went, I knew I'd probably run into him, and I had only one other encounter with him. It wasn't bad, but it sure as hell was something embarrassing, and I really don't want to talk about that.

Throughout the rest of lunch, I kept sneaking glances at Vic's table, or more specifically, Vic. It wasn't my fault! After all this talk about him, it got me wondering, so I kept continuously looking over at him. He didn't seem to notice, he was to caught up in his conversation with Tony. I kept looking in his eyes, and what surprised me most, was the dull look in them. He seemed so happy and into the conversation, but his eyes were dull as he talked with his friend. It wasn't until he started looking around him did I turn away. I knew he somehow figured out I was staring at him, because I saw him look over at my table, his eyes looking at me. I pretended not to notice, but I made the mistake of looking over at him, and he raised his eyebrows at me.

I quickly looked away, and started talking to Jeremy about some random shit, hoping to that Vic would stop looking at me. When I felt like no one was watching me anymore, I quickly made up some lame ass excuse and left the table, taking deep breaths as I walked out of the cafeteria. What the fuck had just happened?

I walked around the hallways, while waiting for the bell to ring, but then I heard footsteps, making me quickly turn around, only to come face to face with the man who was causing me so much confusion.
