[ Countdown: Three days... ]
Dlive's View
My eyes fluttered open, I groaned loudly and rolled to the side of my bed. "Shit... I didn't walk Entoan home yesterday. He's most likely going to ignore me." I sighed, recalling the other time I forgot to walk him home.
That time I forgot to walk him was a huge mistake, he ended up being beat to a pulp that day. It was my fault. If I were there for him, he wouldn't have been hurt. I shook my head to get these thoughts out of my mind. There's no need to ruin my day right away.
Hopping off my bed, I quickly changed and brushed my teeth before grabbing my backpack and running out the front door. All I needed was to go to Entoan's house and wait for him like usual. I made it in no time, five minutes maybe.
As I skimmed the outside of his house, I noticed he didn't come out yet. He's probably changing. Oh well.
"C'mon, Dlive... Just bare with me, now." Gassy said, smirking mischievously. "A kiss won't hurt, will it?"
I shook my head rapidly, bullets of sweat dripped down my face. "I-I can't do this, Gassy. It's not right! Y-You're just a bully!" I exclaimed, backing away from him.
Gassy growled and gripped my collar, bringing me closer to his face. "I may be a bully to that scrawny ass friend of yours, but not to you! Be happy that I spare you, Dlive!" He shouted, slamming me against a locker.
Gassy closed the small gap between us, causing my eyes to fly open. "N-N-No!" I whimpered, breaking the kiss. "S-Stop!"
Gassy let go of me, dropping me to the ground roughly. I groaned and looked up at him, afraid of what he would do to me.
"You'll give in to me soon, Dlive. You won't need to keep crying over a sissy like him. I'll fix you and your flaws. Just you wait." Gassy stated, walking away with one last glance, leaving me to ponder over what he said.
After that little conversation, I decided not to ditch class again, over fear of that happening once more. I think anyone would be scared in a situation like that, but I was afraid for a completely different reason...
I actually enjoyed the kiss.
Yeah, it was so sudden and forced, but it felt so good... My stomach fluttered just at the thought of having his lips on my own once more-- I gasped. What am I thinking?! Gassy is a bully, nothing else! He hurts Entoan and that's just unacceptable!
"Dlive?"
I jumped, and looked at Entoan. "O-Oh, hey Entoan!" I exclaimed, waving at him.
Entoan smiled at me, but it wasn't his usual smile. It was more of a forced one than anything. I frowned but let it go.
"Hi, Dlive." He said, beginning to walk. "How was your whole ditching thing?"
I tensed, "O-Oh, it was fine. Chilled and Ze were pretty cool to hang with, it was pretty tiring though." I said, leaving out the fact I was kissed by Gassy.
How was I supposed to tell Entoan that his worst enemy kissed me?! I can already see him hating me for this, but keeping it from him is even worse.
I examined Entoan, thinking of ways to tell him. But I ended up getting distracted by how he looked. He had short dark brown hair any normal boy would have, he wore his usual band t-shirt and his black skinny jeans. He didn't have any sort of piercings either. He was your casual boy, but just a darker version.
"You won't need to cry over a sissy like him."
No! Entoan wasn't a sissy. He was strong just like everyone else. I can't believe a word Gassy says... I can't. I bit my lip and walked to school with Entoan, the rest of the time we walked silently.
It was like we both had a secret to keep, but I doubt that. Entoan tells me everything, and I do the same... well till now. I won't keep it a secret from him too long. He's my best friend.
He'll understand...

The whole journey to school was quiet. Neither of us talked, the tension was so thick you could grab a knife and cut it. I glanced at Dlive with a worried expression. I just wanted to blurt out that I was moving, I couldn't keep it in so much longer! But... but I had to. Today didn't seem like the day to tell him. I'll wait till tomorrow.
Dlive and I wandered down the school hallways side-by-side. Like usual, we received some stares from kids, and maybe a few words were thrown at me, not Dlive.
I guess if you're seen walking with a guy all the time, you're considered gay. And if you're considered gay, anyone you hang out with must be gay too. It was something stupid my Eighth grade class thought was true.
It wasn't though.
I sighed and walked over to our locker, twisting the lock to its rightful combination. The lock then clicked and left the locker open for Dlive and I.
"Hey, Dlive. Are you going to ditch class again today?" I asked, hoping he wasn't.
I couldn't handle anymore of the shit people threw at me. It was really starting to get to me.
He placed his hand on my shoulder, causing me to jump a little. "Don't worry, Entoan. I won't leave your side anymore, it was a stupid move I pulled yesterday." He said, reassuringly.
I smiled faintly, a wave of relief hitting me. "Thanks, Dlive." I said, grabbing what I needed. "Let's get to class."
He nodded. "Okay, I'll follow."
I grabbed his wrist, dragging him to class. For some reason, when I grabbed his wrist, I felt... weird. It was almost like I had butterflies flying around inside me. My cheeks grew warm, but I shook the odd feeling away.
Don't girls say the butterflies mean you're in love? I furrowed my eyebrows together. Hah, there's no way I was, or already did fall for my best friend, that would be too weird.
Yeah, there's no way I like Dlive.
As we were about to enter our classroom, Gassy passed by. He eyed Dlive hungrily before glaring at me. He mouthed something to me.
"He's mine."
I stared at him shocked, till he was out of sight. What... what did he mean by that? Was I just imagining things? No... He must've said something else. I do fail terribly when it comes to reading someone's lips.
"Entoan?"
I looked at Dlive. He looked to be concerned for me. I frowned. "Sorry, I thought I saw something." I said, feeling him tense up beside me. "I was just imagining things though."
Dlive sighed in relief and walked into class. Eyes were on us like nothing. The girls were eyeing Dlive like usual, and anger flared inside me. I didn't like the looks they gave him I could only--
What...!?
What the hell is wrong with me? I can't possible have feelings for... for Dlive right? No... I can't. The teacher walked in and everyone sat down. The lesson today was about hormones and sexual orientation. Then it hit me.
Why were we learning this in art class?!
< TIME SKIP >
School was over finally. Today was like a day full of sexual explanations, in every single class. It was just plain weird and disturbing. I walked to my locker. Dlive would be here soon. His math class wasn't too far from the locker.
Opening the locker, I placed all my school supplies inside. Once it was inside, I rubbed shoulders to ease the aching pain a little. Carrying around a backpack all day sure does get to your shoulders.
"Sup, loser." The voice who I recognized as Gassy's cackled, grabbing my short hair suddenly.
I hissed as he yanked my head up roughly. "Leave me alone!" I hissed, clawing at his hands.
Gassy smirked. "Why should I?" He asked, teasingly.
I narrowed my eyes, "This is why." I seethed out, kicking him in his crotch.
Gassy gasped and released me, when I hit the ground...
I ran and didn't look back.
As I was running away from Gassy, I passed Dlive. We looked at each other for a second.
"Dlive..." I muttered, wanting to stop and hide behind him. But I didn't do that, I kept running, Gassy following close behind.
"Gassy? Entoan?" He asked, suddenly chasing after me too. "Entoan wait up!"
I panted slightly and turned to the left, hearing one less pair of footsteps behind me. I was suddenly pulled into an empty hallway. Gassy's enraged face appeared in my mind
"Let me g--!" My mouth was covered. I squirmed around, tears threatening to prick my eyes.
"Entoan, shh! It's me! Dlive!" He whispered.
I started to calm down slowly but my heart was still beating rapidly. Where did Gassy go then? Did we lose him? After five minutes of sitting there in the long, empty hallway, and holding each other, Dlive pulled me up.
"Are you okay, bud?" He asked, worry and concern lacing his voice
I nodded, "Y-Yeah... I'm just... just..." with that, my eyes shut and I fell back. All the stress got to me.
"Entoan!"
