The lunch bell rung and I left the class.
It's been three periods and Josh and I still haven't talked.
Tyler and Brnadon have noticed this and asked me about it a few times, mainly Tyler but still.
Hey, my friend won't be coming but that doesn't mean we can't go, right?
Jack: yup, when do you want to meet?
Five minutes please, I need to put my binders away.
Jack: Sure thing :) see you there
Yup :)
I quickly through my binders into my locker and met up with everyone.
"Hey guys, I'll be in the music room if you need me" my smile was wide until I saw Josh looking at my with sad, sympathetic eyes.
I turned around to walk away until I felt a hand on my shoulder;
"I'll go, but only so he doesn't do anything to you" he said, looking at the ground.
"Only if you want" I said, continuing to walk.

"Jack, this is Josh, Josh, this is Jack" Jack smiled and put out his hand to shake Josh's.
Josh just starred at his eyes, not deciding to move.
I stood awkwardly in front of them before speaking.
"Uhm, why don't we try to play something?" I laugh nervously and I sat a seat at the piano, and Jack at the drums.
Josh just leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
I began playing a tune, Jack quickly joining in with a little beat.
"No no no no no" I heard Josh speak from behind me and I stop, Jack following me shortly after.
"Don't hold the drums stick like that." Josh opened Jacks hands and placed the drumsticks back in his hands, "hold them like this. And don't position your arms like that, cross them unless your..." They continued to talk while I just sat at the piano smiling.
Josh continued to help Jack until the bell rang once again and with that, he looked at me, and left.
"He's, different" Jack spoke up. "Definitely, but, in the good way" I smiled.
"Hey, you want to hang out after school?" I was a bit shocked at his question but I'd be more then happy to.
"Sure" "okay, just meet me outside of the school when the buses leave" I smiled and nodded.
The door opened and a loud voice boomed through the room.
"Jack?!" Jack quickly moved so his hand was pulling on the collar of my shirt, his fist in the air like he was about to punch.
We both looked over to see Mark standing at the door.
"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Mark cheered.
I closed my eyes, only to be hit in the stomach, causing me to fall to my knees, gaging.
"Fag" Jack spat out, slamming the door behind me.
I heard Marks muffled voice, "good one bro!"
I just laid on the ground, not wanting to get up. I knew he'd need to act tough around Mark and Felix but I didn't think he'd actually hit me.
I felt stuff rising into my throat.
Next thing I knew, I was sitting on my knees, throwing up into the floor in front of me.
"Y/n?"
