[Brian's P.O.V]
My heart pumped violently against my chest as I took more steps towards Roger.
Stopping in my tracks, I took a deep breath, said a quick prayer, and continued my trail towards him.
Two more steps Brian.
Quit being a wimp, Brian.
I listened to my subconscious and did what it told me to do next:
Sit and talk to him.
I took a seat next to Roger, actually, it was more like two seats away from him rather than one. I wanted to give him some personal space—just in case if he explodes—so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable around me.
I quietly cleared my throat, and opened my mouth. Not a word came out, only air.
I clearly was hesitating to speak to Roger. I don't know how he's going to react. He probably might hate me, or more like- he already hates me.
I didn't want to talk to him from the start!
But no.
Freddie forced me to do this.
I bet I look stupid sitting here.
I turned around, for the last time, and saw Freddie staring me down, burning holes into my skin.
❝if you don't say anything, I will.❞ He mouthed and gestured.
My body filled up with anxiety.
Normally, I'm not this scared to talk and explain a problem to someone, but I guess it's because of Roger.
Just him.
I turned my head back around and jumped at the sight of the blonde student looking at me. He looked as if he just woke up.
[No One's P.O.V.]
❝what do you want Brian?❞ Roger asked, sounding quite annoyed. ❝I-.❞ Brian's vocal cords stopped him from speaking any further.
❝what?❞ Roger raised his eyebrows, waiting for Brian's response.
Brian sighed, then said, ❝I- um, Roger, I-. I have some things to say to you.❞ He gazed down, and nervously picked at a stray string on his pants.
❝of course you do...❞ The blonde grumbled under his breath.
To be honest, at this moment, Roger just wanted to scurry away from Brian, and cry in a stall in the loo about the situation he's in.
But he remembered Freddie's "trusty" words: ❝...Just don't ignore him when he tries to talk to you.❞
❝go ahead.❞ The blonde sat up. He propped up his head, resting his chin on his palm, then raised his brows, waiting for Brian to continue.
Brian felt his face oddly heat up, ❝well you- you know the fling between Chrissie and I, and-.❞
❝-is this what you came to talk to me about?❞ Roger interrupted, feeling his blood slowly come to a boil. ❝no. Not really-.❞ Brian swallowed, trying to lower his rising fear.
❝yes, it is. You did come to talk to me about this. Sorry to cut this conversation short, but you don't need to talk to me about you and Chrissie being together. But, good for you. You found another person.❞ Roger grinned.
He was jealous.
He didn't want to show Brian that he was envious over their relationship because it might look like Roger wanted to start something even bigger than what they were already in.
❝no, no, no. None of- Chrissie.❞ Brian shook his head, ❝I actually came here to apologise-...to you.❞
Roger blinked in utter surprise, ❝oh really?❞ Brian nodded and continued, ❝I'm sorry if it looked as if I threw away our relationship over my shoulder.❞
❝but the kiss between you and-.❞
❝yes, I know.❞ The curly headed student shut his eyes, ❝Chrissie kissed me, and I wasn't expecting it. It was by force. I didn't want to kiss her, she wanted to kiss me. We broke up a year ago, and she's still trying to get my attention by doing anything—and I mean anything.❞ He softly laughed.
❝but, I didn't know that it was going to affect you to the point you stopped talking to me. Those times I tried to talk to you, I thought you actually had given up on me and our- thing between us.❞
Roger just blinked in response, grasping all of Brian's explanation.
❝I just wanted to say sorry, again, for ignoring you. I care about you. I miss you and your bright smiles.❞
Roger saw Brian's cheeks flush at the last sentence.
❝I just- I just hope you understand that what I did was wrong. I should've made a safer decision by ending the conversation quickly between Chrissie and I, and followed you to your locker.❞ The taller one awkwardly grinned.
Roger furrowed his brows. He looked at Brian, then back at the refectory floor, repeatedly. ❝so...❞ He began, ❝you two aren't a thing?❞
Brian tilted his head side to side, ❝well...like I said, we were together at some point, awhile ago-, but if you meant the last few weeks that passed, no. We were never a thing.❞ He explained.
❝anyways, I think—and I hate to admit to this but—I was just scared to depart from her.❞
Roger had to ask: ❝why?❞
Brian sighed mentally, ❝-because, I was scared that-, that she was going to-.❞
❝Bri!❞ A feminine voice called out.
Both of the students heads turned towards the voice.
Chrissie.
❝bloody hell...❞ Brian said, under his breath.
❝hi Brian.❞ Chrissie hugged Brian from behind. ❝hi Chrissie.❞ Brian said, not moving any of his limbs to hug her back.
Roger just stared.
❝how are you?❞ She asked, then glanced at Roger, ❝oh, hey Roger.❞
❝hi.❞ The blonde lazily waved.
❝Chrissie.❞ Brian mumbled. ❝yeah?❞ She replied. ❝we need to talk in private, please?❞
The girl looked at him confusedly, ❝ok?❞ Brian stood up and took her outside of the refectory.
❝what's happening now?❞ John nudged Freddie. The oldest one shrugged, ❝dunno.❞ He then looked at John, ❝I'm gonna go to Roger, wanna follow?❞
❝sure.❞
The two trailed over to Roger, and sat at the table with him.
❝so...?❞ Freddie glanced at Roger, with his brows raised and wide eyes. ❝Brian just told Chrissie that he wanted to talk privately.❞ Roger immediately told.
❝did she touch him?❞ Freddie asked. Roger bobbed his head, ❝she hugged him.❞
❝am I the only one who's bothered by this?❞ Freddie questioned, ❝-because you don't seem like it bothers you.❞
❝no,❞ Roger disagreed, ❝I'm bothered by it, but I don't want to show it.❞
❝-because you'll look jealous, huh?❞ Freddie lifted a brow. ❝uh-.❞
❝am I right?❞
❝I mean...yeah.❞ Roger muttered. ❝ok then. That's what I thought.❞ Freddie crosses his arms across his chest.
The boys were quiet for a moment until a yell came from where Brian walked out from.
❝-you fucking fairy! You gay asshole! You dumped me for that blonde fuck?!❞
Everyone in the refectory quieted down and faced towards the argument.
❝I never liked you! You forced me to be with you because you didn't have a date to go to the dance last year, and you thought your friends were going to make fun of you if you didn't have one! You also can't fucking yell at me because you knew that it was wrong to kiss me!❞ Brian shouted back.
Chrissie shoved him, ❝you fucking idiot!❞
❝you're the idiot in the conversation!❞ Freddie joined in.
❝Freddie, no-.❞ John said. ❝Freddie, yes.❞ He smirked.
❝you aren't even in this conversation, buck teeth.❞ Chrissie hissed.
Freddie fell silent. He glared at Chrissie then back at the two students.
❝I swear if you go-.❞
❝that's it. I'm going.❞ Freddie said, ❝this bitch will learn today.❞
❝oh Lord.❞ John sighed and put his face in his hands.
The oldest student stormed over to Brian and Chrissie.
❝Freddie stop-.❞ Brian said, putting a hand out to stop Freddie from getting any closer to Chrissie. ❝move your hand!❞ Freddie pushed Brian's arm out of the way, ❝I know you didn't call me buck teeth.❞ He pointed at her, putting his finger in her face.
❝get your finger out of my face!❞ Chrissie slapped his hand away. ❝I'll keep my bloody finger in your face all day long.❞ Freddie growled.
❝did you hear me? You don't belong in the conversation!❞ Chrissie yelled.
❝you don't belong with Brian!❞ Freddie told, ❝you two never belonged together. You would be better off dating a fucking rock rather than Brian! Even my relationship with my old girlfriend lasted longer than yours because we were real, and not acting like Barbie and Ken, who were fake!❞
❝oh snap...❞ John mumbled, ❝excuse my french, but Freddie popped off on you bitch!❞ He then bursted out laughing. ❝shhh!❞ Roger tried quieting down the younger student, but failed to do so because he was laughing too.
Chrissie huffed at John, then glared at Freddie, ❝fuck you.❞
Freddie furrowed her eyebrows, looking at her crazy, ❝you fuck off and find a new boyfriend. I can fucking tell you that.❞
Most of the students in the room 'oo-ed', and some started chuckling.
Chrissie cried out, loudly, from anger, and stormed away from the two boys, shoving open the refectory doors.
Everyone murmured to each other silently, then the volume grew as they got back to their original conversations.
❝she couldn't handle the fucking heat.❞ Freddie wiped his shoulders like he was wiping away dust from his shirt.
❝Freddie!❞ John rushed over to him, almost tripping over his own feet because he was laughing. He wrapped his arms around the older boy and tightly embraced him, ❝you're good at coming up with comebacks.❞
❝thank you.❞ Freddie smiled, then hugged John back.
Roger walked over to the three boys, and joined them.
❝so...?❞ Brian lifted a brow. ❝so what?❞ Roger smirked, put his arms across his chest. ❝are you going to accept my apology-? Or what?❞ The taller one put a hand on his hip.
Roger rolled his eyes, ❝I guess...❞
❝you guess? You better!❞ Brian grabbed Roger's hand and pulled the blonde to his side, side hugging him.
Freddie grinned in approval. Then he mouthed to Brian, ❝what did I tell you?❞ Brian shook his head, chuckling softly. He mouthed back, ❝go away.❞
❝oh...ok.❞ Freddie, childishly, wiggled his brows. The older one sighed out loud and said, ❝well, I'll let you two have some- alone time.❞
❝I'll say the same.❞ Brian said, looking at John, then at Freddie. ❝ok. Stop.❞ Freddie blankly stared at Brian.
Brian smiled. ❝I'll stop-,❞ He paused, ❝for a little while.❞
❝shut up.❞ Freddie playfully punched Brian in the arm. ❝anyways, I'm happy you guys are back together. You guys look good together already!❞
Roger shyly smiled, feeling blush creep up on his cheeks.
❝I'm glad we're back together.❞ Brian rocked himself and Roger side to side, swaying to a made up beat in his head.
