14 - Henry

————————————————————————————————

We weren't doing anything, in the class so that's why I am now pretending to read a book that the substitute teacher assigned us.

Avery and Sarah have been giving me stares from the moment i stepped into school, I fear that something bad is gonna happen.

Miles was sitting beside Damien and Henry, and ever since the apology he made it clear that we were good friends to began with. So am gonna accept his wishes and that will happen if I have a distraction.

I heard we were having a group project since we have Monday and Tuesday were holiday. I think to myself maybe it would be better if I didn't meet him or them.

Then this whole drama and sexuality wouldn't happen. My hands were now folding on the desk as I put my head between them, I watched as the cloud started becoming grey.

My mind blocked all the noise and the only noise I could hear was my breathing, the trees swing left and right with the strong breeze we were having, people running to their next destination, kids laughing with their parents while holding their hands.

A hand shook my shoulders and groaned a bit with the connect I lift my head up to see a girl?

"hi! I am one of your assigned partners" she held out her hands and I shook it quickly she began to take a seat beside while a pinkish blush came across her face.

She took out a book then started sketching which caught me in surprise, she turned her head as we stared at each other "oh I hope am not bothering you" as she puts a strand of her hair behind the ears.

"No, I actually like sketching too" giving her a reassuring smile which she smiled back.

We continued to show each other our sketches, A loud screeching sounded in front of me, seeing it was Damien and miles, but he was the one that did it he looked at her then at me then proceeded to give me a glare.

Damien took a seat in front of me then he spin his laptop looking at the topic that we were about to do "I decided to something like fall"

We all agreed to it.

Charlotte the girl who sitting beside me was doing the first part by decorating the slides.

Then the rest of us were gonna dig up some information and cut out some pictures of falls. That we're gonna do at her or my house.

Charlotte would be a good friend if she actually accepted be friends I would actually want friends who had similar hobby's so that we could talk about it.

The bell rang and I packed up my stuff to leave Charlotte had somewhere to be quickly so she left without me.

We had different classes so we had separate, the hallway was empty and quiet which is kinda freaking me out.

A hand grabbed me dragging me to into an empty classroom then pushing me hard against the wall. There were 3 guys standing in front of me while folding their hand's snickering at me, one of the guys was Henry?!

"What the hell dude?" Rubbing the back of my head that hit the wall.

"Where here to tell you something" one of his minion says.

"Back off miles" Henry said.

"No?" What the fuck was that question.

Henry glared at me but then came up and punch in the face well he ask for this.

I pushed him then got on top of him punching him right in the face, I punched him repeatedly that all I could hear from him was crying and yelping.

His minions left him to call for higher ups his face was bloody and his noise was starting to bleeding. "F-Fuck dude stop". Henry stuttered.

People started to crowd the doorway chanting and yelling but one was yelling stop, I looked to see it was miles.

He pushed me off Henry then a teacher came grabbing his face to check if he broke his teeth or nose as well as miles.

I got up pushing across the crowd this is all bullshit I just wanna go home I said as I wipe my bloody noise.

Miles was behind me shouting for me to stop but all I kept was running up the stairs he doesn't need to see me like this.

"Wait up Luke"

"Stop fucking ignoring me" as he got enough of me.

With everything am gonna through all I wanted to do was shout out everything it I kept it to my self, miles caught up to me to grab my hands and dragging me towards the medical room.

"We will talk about this first let's clean you up"

———

"Cant believe you did that" miles said as he rubs the cotton that is full with alcohol on my face.

"Stop it hurts!"

"Good"

When he's finish he held out my fists rubbing more alcohol over it "I-I hate you" miles smiled like a maniac at my suffering.

He bandaged it up carefully before getting up to give me a water bottle "What did Henry say to make you so mad"

"Nothing" as I gulp done the water.

'Luke Hayes in the principal office now' as I heard my name the way my heart dropped.

"Am definitely getting suspended" as I pouted to miles.

"Or.. maybe it will be a warning" miles smiled then his hands caught my hair ruffling it up.

I got up from the chair to fix my tie "So easy for you to say" I could hear him scoff behind me as I made my to the office.

———

The place was quiet which made it scary, I was now sitting waiting for the principal to suspend me. The door opened behind and the walking started coming towards me.

The door shut on its own while he sat in front of me clearing his throat "so I been heard you almost killed a student." Seriously "killed" so dramatic.

"He started it first" defending myself.

"Enough with the excuses, you're suspended for a week and you come back your having detention every Saturday in the next 4 weeks."

"THEN WHAT ABOUT HENRY"

"Henry will be at hospital for a week, and giving him detention will stress him more"

At the end of the day I was the only who got into trouble, rain started falling on the window, people were leaving the building and some were staying after for some clubs.

Would have been happy if I was suspended free vacation. even worst miles send me homework's from all the classes.

And to be honest I just wanna sleep.
