Clay's POV
I've never been the out going person. Well, more like a person who can make a friend easily. I find it very hard to talk to others without making it awkward. My only friend is Darryl who I met online playing Minecraft a few years back. I pretty much told him all of my secrets. My sexuality, my issues, my home life, everything. And he's told me everything too.
Right now, me and Darryl are walking to school together. We're both sophomores and 16 but we get like walking together just to talk since we're always early. Nobody can separate us, and no I don't like him and he doesn't like me. Darryl likes someone else, another one of his best friends, and I don't like anyone at the moment.
"So..how you and Zak going hmmmmm?" I like to tease him. His reactions are hilarious.
"Shut up. It's going good, me and Zak are still best friends so that's good."
"B-b-but..I'm your best friend.." I said in a obviously joking way.
"I can have two!"
"Pfft, yeah yeah I know. I never really hung out with Zak."
"You never hang out with anyone DrEaM."
"Ok BaDbOyHaLo."
As we arrive at the school, mocking each other, Zak was there and one thing about Zak is..he is VERY popular. So he has a lot of friends. He saw us
and he gave me a mean look like I did something.
"Oh look Darryl. Your boyfriend is there. Time for me to go."
"Nope! You are socializing."
"What?!"
"Come onnnnn. Just for a bit.?"
"Fine..only because your my friend."
"YAY!!"
We start walking to the crowd and people were looking at me. People obviously know Darryl since he's best friends with a popular boy and I'm a person they probably don't notice.
"Hey Zak!"
"Hey..who's that?"
"This is Clay! I told you about him."
"Oh."
"Nice to meet you now I have to g-OW!" Darryl elbowed me in the arm.
"NO! You are socializing whether you like it or not!"
"Fine!!"
"Anyways. This is Clay, Clay this is Zak."
"*cough* you boyfriend *cough*" I said very quietly so only Darryl could hear me. He just rolled his eyes at me and went back to talking to Zak.
I was walking down the hallway to my class when a boy, slightly shorter than me, walked up to me.
"Hi, I'm George."
"Hi..I'm Clay." He had brown hair, dark brown eyes, and glasses on the top of his head.
"I was wondering if you wanted to be my friend. Sorry I bad at starting conversations.."
"Oh I'm the same way, that's why I never talk to people"
"Same here! I only know Sapnap and a bit of Zak but I don't really talk to anyone else."
"I only talk to Darryl, me and him have been friends for years."
"I think Zak and Darryl will start dating soon."
"I think so too!"
George and I started walking and talking together and I learned he moved here from England last year. We had the same for first, second, and forth period classes together. We sat next to each other too so it was easy to communicate. I found George quite cute and I knew I liked him. I'm not gonna hide it. I'm bisexual so..yeah.
2:15pm
I'm are getting out of my third period class, walking to lunch, and saw Darryl walking as well.
"Hey Bad!"
Darryl turns to me with a "shut the muffin up" face. I of course started walking with him to the lunch room.
"So..how was your classes Clay?"
"Boringggg. The only person to keep me company is George and third period is the only class I dont have him in."
"George huh? I kinda know him. You guys talked?"
"Yeah, he walked up to me and we just hit it off instantly. And I like him."
"That fast?!"
"Yep!"
"Typical you."
"Mhm! Anyways, where will we sit for lunch today?"
"I was thinking about sitting with Zak and his friends.."
"We won't fit."
"True.."
"I'll sit alone today."
"What?! No! I'm not leaving you alone like that!"
"Alright alright!"
"We'll just find a table like usual."
"Fine with me."
We get to the lunch room and sit at a empty table. Neither of us were hungry so we didn't eat and just talked about dumb shit. All of a sudden, Zak came to the table.
"Uhhh, hi?"
"Hey. Uhm Darryl, do you want to sit with me and my other friends?"
"Uhm..I can't leave my friend though.."
"It's fine B-Darryl. You can go."
"But you'll be alone!"
"It's fine! Go!"
"But-"
"I don't wanna hear it."
"You'll be-"
"LA LA LA LA!"
"FINE!"
"GOOD!"
Darryl's POV
I kept looking back at Clay who was just sitting there, starring at the table blankly. He is not in a good mental state, I would have told Zak so he would
understand but Clay doesn't want people to know and I respect that.
"Maybe I should check up on him.."
"No he's fine Darryl, you two are always together so I'm sure he doesn't mind." Alex said.
"Still..I feel bad.."
They just laughed because they know I soft i get when one of my friends is upset, it's funny to them. I just laughed it off so it wouldn't be awkward.
Lunch ends and I immediately get up and hug Clay.
"I'msosorryimsosorryimsosorry!"
"What? Sorry for what?"
"Leaving you! I felt terrible.."
"Dont be. They're also your friends, I shouldn't just keep you to myself all the time."
"Still.."
"Anyways..I need to go to forth period."
"To see YOUR boyfriend?"
"Wh-GEORGE?!"
"PFFT."
"WE ARE NOT DATING! Speaking of George, where was he? I didn't see him at lunch.."
"He goes eat in the hallways. He likes the quiet."
"Ohhhh ok."
"Anywayyyys, I need to go that way. Bye Dream!"
"Bye Bad!"
I start walking to my forth period and see George going there too.
"George!"
"Oh hey Clay!"
We start talking and walking again to our class. Someone bumped into George in his shoulder but didn't stop to say sorry or excuse their self. I had the urge to fight whoever did that.
"Dumb bitch.."
"What was that?"
"Whoever hit you is a dumb bitch."
"It's fine Clay, it was probably an accident."
"Yeah right."
We started walking again to our class together but didn't stop the conversation.
"Are you usually protective of your friends?"
Not like this no..
"Yeah pretty much. I just hate it when people are rude or making someone uncomfortable, especially if they are my friend."
"Oh..I'm not the person to actually get up and fight, I can but it takes a lot of effort."
"True that."
"Yeah..anyways, we're here."
"Ugggghhh..English."
"I like English."
"Yeah but I'm from England and the way you guys talk to really different from how we talk. You guys talk weird."
"Hey!"
"Haha!
"Let's goooo."
We went into class and I could see George struggling and try to help him. The teacher, Mr. Robinson, understood it's different so he allowed it.
(Ok I know Americans and British people speak the same language but the way we talk is different).
"Ok Clay. I understand SOME things."
"I just wanna talk to youuuuuu."
"Fineee."
I couldn't help but admire George the entire time but kept it very secretive. And soon enough, we were let out of class to leave school. Finally.
(2:00pm)
We get out the classroom and here comes Darryl.
"Hey Clay! I can't walk with you today, I have to stay after school to help Zak with something."
"Oooo you and your boyfriend are going on a date?"
George teased and I wheezed at that.
"NO! You muffin head. Anyways, byeeee!"
"Byeee!"
Darryl walked away to go to Zak.
"So..what do you wanna do now?" George asked.
"I don't feel like waking alone so I'll walk you."
"You sure?"
"Yeah! I only live like 8 minutes away so it'll be fine."
"Oh cool! I live like 10 minutes away so we live close!"
"Awesome! Now lets go."
"Alright!"
