The Class Clown And The Class President

Rory Pov

" One ,we're in a library quiet down. Two, I swear if you do that one more time your gonna regret it Gallagher " I threatened staring him dead in the eyes .

" Shiver mi timbers " he pleaded pretending to be scared .

" Ok...then I guess you wouldn't mind if I did this? " I replied not moving an inch .

" Do what? " he challenged leaning closer.

" This " I  declared elbowing him carefully but harsh enough that it would actually hurt right in his belly .

" Ah!...Sorry " I apologized leaning over .

" Did that catch you by surprise? ".

But he didn't reply , he was just bent over in the chair pretending as if I had just stabbed him .

" Aww I forgot you were so fragile , there,  there " I nagged scooting closer and wrapping my hands around his torso pulling him in for a hug .

He didn't move and I took that as a indicator that he didn't want me to move either .

" This is nice " I knew he was smiling even though I couldn't see his face

" Maybe I should piss you off more often " he confessed earning another Jab from me .

" Oh " he suddenly jerked up " The student body team has to stay back to help set up for that stupid  NGVTV association thing in the auditorium "

I sighed " What more do these people want from me "

" Nothing much.... just your smile and your will to live " he smiled

" The usual " .

Looking down on my phone I realized we only had five minutes before lunch was over .

" We should probably get going , lunch is almost up " I announced putting up my phone.

" Let's go " I said dragging his hand when he refused to move but as soon we neared the exit I dropped it .... I had to .

4:01 p.m

"  Did you tell Mrs Lucy you were going home late? " Josh asked as the both of us along with a few others swept the floor .

" Hmm , Did you tell Kile and Maleek?" I questioned back .

" Well technically ... I mean I sent them a message not too long ago, they haven't replied yet though "

" Ok , I'll give you a ride over then " I stopped as I had finally finished sweeping our section " Let's go get the streamers  "

" We should wash our hands first " he suggested .

I agreed and we made our way out to the washing station .

" I want to go home and take a long hot bath " I complained

" You want a bath? " he smiled .

I knew that smile .

" Josh don't even- " I wanted to protest but before I could even finish my sentence , water was already dripping from my face .

" Ok " I laughed and before he could react I had already applied pressure the pipe causing a sprinkler to form,  soaking both of us in the process .

Fighting his way over to me , he quickly reached for my hands restraining both of them from the pipe .

" Your gonna pay " he threatened .

" Shiver mi timbers " I mocked him .

Closing the gap , he pressed his lips against mine , It was gentle and sweet and I found myself kissing him back , our hands still entangled .

" What the actual fuck "

My heart sank as I processed what was happening but not as much as how it hurt when Josh suddenly pushed me .

He had pushed me so hard I fell back,  landing straight on my back .

" What the actual fucking hell Josh? " the person repeated again .

It was Kile .....and next to him was Maleek.

He had a look of confusion ...sadness? fear? Whatever it was it wasn't good. Kile on the other hand was easy to make out , he looked absolutely disgusted .

" Is this what you stayed back to do? Play Frilly Fag w-with him ! "

Fag....

" I knew it , I bloody knew something was off " He came closer to Josh " Is this what you wanted to tell us? Huh Josh? Is this what you were bloody hiding?! "

Shit.

He looked as if he was about take a swing at Josh but Maleek placed a hand on his shoulder .

" Let's just go " he spoke , more of a whisper than anything " Let's go " .

Kile huffed and muttered something before storming off leaving us . Maleek following silently behind me.

Josh still hadn't moved or said anything .

Not even realizing I was still on the ground I pushed myself up and slowly made my way over to him . My heart was racing but I knew if I freaked out that would only worsen the situation

" Josh? are you- " I reached for his shoulder my hands unintentionally trembling but he slapped it away so fast I was pretty sure it would leave a bruise .

He looked pale , he looked as if he had just been shot .

" Don't touch me- " he spluttered out avoiding any eye contact .

" I mean- " he pulled at his hair " I'm sorry " and just like that ....he was gone . He left me there and I could feel the tears already forming but I didn't let them spill.

Sighing harshly , I buried my head in my hands " I fucking hate you sometimes Josh "
