The next time Oscar turns up to school, it's a few days later after the weekend, Wednesday.
He's comfortably recovered from Carlos's bullshit, and now he was just blatantly late for school because he slept through his alarm.
He walked, in no rush to get there it was second period by the time he arrived. Being told he had detention for being late, he rolled his eyes at the office lady and went through, grabbing his stuff out his locker and walked to his maths lesson.
He walked in, a few people staring at him. Lando, Carlos and Alex stared. He went and sat down, sitting down quietly.
"Care to share why your late Oscar?" The teacher said.
"I was late to school..slept through my alarm again.." he muttered, leaning his head on his arms.
"Of course he did," Carlos said from behind him, kicking his chair, making Alex snicker next to him.
Though Oscar didn't hear lando laugh, like he normally would.
"Seattle down, Carlos stay behind," the teacher said, turning back to the board.
Carlos huffed behind him, kicking Oscar's chair again, making Oscar jump forwards. "My offer still stands piastri," he said.
Oscar kept his head down for the rest of that lesson.

As the bell went, Oscar had never packed his things up quicker, walking out the room quickly.
Oscar didn't know that lando was hot on his heels though, suddenly Lando grabbed the back of his back, dragging him into the boys bathroom. It took everything in Oscar not to scream as he didn't know who was dragging him.
As the door closed Oscar spun around in fear as he saw who was dragging him, Lando stood with his back to the door to stop people coming in.
"Hi," he said, staring at Oscar.
Oscar didn't speak, just backed himself up against the wall.
"I'm not gonna- hit you or anything.." lando said, watching Oscar visibly relax now.
"So..why did you drag me here..?" Oscar asked nervously.
"Uh- I just wanted to ask if your uh- ok..because of last week and Carlos keeps..yeah.." he said, playing with his curls nervously.
"I'm- I'm fine..Uhm thank you.." Oscar answered, "why are you asking though..you- you hate me,"
"Well, I don't hate you, your just- your different to us, your an Aussie."
"And your a Pom, I don't bully you," Oscar shot back.
"I'm being nice here piastri don't push your limits," Lando snapped, making Oscar shut up this time.
"I'm just asking because no one should really have to do through what you went through when you were little," Lando muttered, he didn't want Oscar to feel like he was just pitying him, he really felt sorry for him.
And to have to see one of his best friends almost do it to the poor boy again made him sick.
"Well..thanks..I guess," Oscar said softly, the bell rang, signaling they were now late to their third lesson. Oscar sighed, "it's just he keeps layering it on.."
