Virgils pov

I woke up to Patton singing Good Morning from Singing in the Rain. I groaned and chuckled.

"Oh my god Patton" I said buring my face in the pillow.

"Come on Virge it's time to get ready besides we gotta talk" Patton giggled.

Oh no...

"A-about?" I got nervous thinking he knew what I did.

"I saw what happened last night..." He murmured.

"O-o-oh..." I whispered.

"Virgil... You never told me it was that bad.." Pat looked at me sadly.

"I-.. I-it happens... Almost everyday.." I said hugging myself.

"I thought you just weren't eating.. Not that.." The soft boy swallowed.

"It's horrible... It h-hurts and.. I'm afraid of vomiting.. I-its disgusting and im afraid I'm going to barf out my organs or something..." I started to shake. Thinking about my phobias made me panic.

"Virgil. Please try to keep your food in your body, ok?" He put his hands on my shoulders. I weakly nodded. Pat smiled a bit.

"Now it's time to impress princey" Patton said holding my outfit up.

"Ok ok" I blushed. I took off the hoodie and pulled on the long sleeve and light purple pants.

"How do I look?" I said brushing my hair.

"Really frickin cute!" He exclaimed. "What about me?" Pat twirled around.

"Adorable" I giggled. He handed me a pair of black Van's and he put on a white pair. After brushing our teeth Patton made me eat a poptart and smoothie. Then just like that we left with our bags.

"We left at a good time. I'm surprised for someone who's late 3 times a week" I smirked.

"Hey! Well look who's talking mister I was an hour late to class because I went to go get Starbucks!" Pat put his hands on his hips.

"That was one time and I needed coffee. And Remy is much worse" I chuckled. We kept at a semi fast pace to school. Then just like that he pushed the doors open and went to our lockers. I got my some weird looks making me a bit anxious but I tried to keep calm.

Then who do I see but Roman... Alone.

My heart beats faster doing no good on my anxious mood.

"Theres your boyfriend" Remy came up behind me.

"Jesus Remy! Shut up! How do you know about that anyway?" I asked in a whisper.

"Pat just filled me in" Remy answered.

"Well go talk to him" pat said pushing me a bit.

"I cant just go talk to him!" I whisper yelled through gritted teeth. Roman must of noticed our bitchy bickering because he started to walk over. Remy pushed me away from them and towards roman.

"Hey" Ro said.

"O-oh.. hi" I said on edge.

"You dont need to be afraid of me ya know" The prince smirked.

I quickly straightened my body and repressed my stutter. "Who said I was afraid of you?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Well as a theater man I learn to read expressions so from the stutter, closed in body posture and deer in the head lights look in your eyes that you had means fear so you physically said you were afraid of me" Roman answer back in slightly cocky way.

...

What kinda Logan smart ass bullshit was that?!

My jaw dropped "you are much smarter than I thought you were..." I said. He chuckled. "And you? Roman the star player on the football team. Is in theater?" I asked.

Roman looked around probably making sure his friends weren't close. "Yeah it's a hobby of mine I keep on the down low.. I go to theater practice when I tell the guys I get personal training from this really good couch for football..." he said, a dust of pink on his cheeks and scratching his neck a little embarrassed.

Fuck that's cute.

I snickered "you have a lot of secrets" I said with light smirk.

"Yeah when you gotta rep like mine you keep certain things in here" he tapped on his head.

"Yeah... I can understand that... why do you wanna be liked so much anyway?" I tilted my head curiously.

"Can we talk in private?" Roman asked looking anxious himself.

"Uuuhh Yeah" I looked back to see Remy and Patton silently telling me to go with him. He grabbed my hand making me red and led me to the back of the school.

"Sorry I just..." he hesitated on what he was going to say.

Don't want people to see me talking to a walking piece of garbage like you.

"Don't like being.. hated.. that's why I got with the popular kids and abandoned myself. Hell if I didn't suffer from I need attention syndrome I might of been good friends with you three" Ro said down trotted.

"Well there's nothing stopping you. If you hang with us you'll loose your social standing but your still the best on the team and a chick magnet" I shrugged.

He sighed "Yeah but then the guys will kick my ass... why does high school suck so badly?!" He groaned leaning against the wall.

"Mhm for a teaching facility it sure is fucking complicated" I said leaning against it as well, our bodies brushing together for a moment.

NO NO NO FUCK FUCK FUCK

I quickly scoot away, embarrassed. "sorry!" I exclaimed.

Roman chuckled. "You're not around people much are you?" He asked.

"Why?" I asked still embarrassed.

"Usually people don't freak out because they touch bodies for a second... unless~" He smirked leaning in on me a bit.

"U-unless what?" I asked looking up at him

"Unless you have a-" He said leaning in closer

I-is he going to...?

*ring*

GOd DaMnIT

Roman quickly drew back realizing what he was gonna do.

"Well I should go..." he said scratching by back of his neck.

"Yeahmetoo" I said quickly, red faced.

"See you in science.. bye" he waved walking away.

"ByE" I said shakily as I scurried off. On the walk to first period I thought about what had happened. But I was interrupted by comments from people beside their lockers.

"Looks like that faggot train is in town"

"Tranny!"

"Twinkie!"

"What happened to your eyeliner?"

"Extra Extra emo trash turned gay garbage!"

Someone even threw a bitten apple right beside my eye. I only winced and whimpered only at a volume could hear.

"Whoops wrong bin!"

I just ran inside my class room and fought back tears.

Ignore them.

They're wrong.

Aren't they?

Romans Pov

"F U C K" I yelled throwing my bag on the ground of the locker room

"What's wrong with you?" My friend Jonathan asked.

"I almost..."

Do not tell him you almost kissed a guy you moron.

"I almost asked out a girl but I was cut off cause she had a boyfriend" I lied opening my gym locker.

"Aw shit man that sucks" He patted my back.

Acting time.

"Yeah she was all 'ur really cute but I have a boyfriend' and then she walked away giggling with her friends." I sighed.

"Damn who was it?" He asked.

Uuuuhhhh

"Jessica.." I lied.

"Well no shit Sherlock! She's my girlfriend!" Johnny exclaimed.

"Really?! Damn you got lucky! She's hot!" I said enthusiastically but feeling sick to my stomach by acting straight.

Did I ever mention I was gay? Well surprise surprise I like men if that hasn't been obvious... I know. I'm a hypocrite..

"If you knew she was mine I would of murdered you but I never told you so it ain't your fault" he laughed and took his shirt off to change.

Don't look at his Abs you gay bitch

I averted my eyes and did the same, changing into my pe uniform. Nothing special happened, I was just praying that Johnny wouldn't say anything to Jess or I'd be in deep shit.

The period ended and I changed quickly only to meet up with my "friend" and his girlfriend.

"I heard that lover boy over here tried to ask you out earlier" Jonathan said to his girlfriend, chuckling.

F U C K-

Jess was confused "what? Roman never asked me out" She said. Then...

*ring*

YES.

I quickly ran to second period to escape the question.

"Yo Roman wh-" He was cut off by my absence.

Jonathan's Pov

"The fuck?" my girlfriend squinted.

"That's weird.. why would he lie?" I asked.

"He's clearly lying. something happened today that he doesn't want you to know about" She said chewing gum.

"Like what?" I asked again confused.

"Idk. Maybe he's gay and he's being weird cuz he didn't get his daily dose of dick today" Jessica joked. I laughed out loud.

Well... yes and no-

"That be hilarious. But Roman is not gay. He acts too straight for that" I laughed.

I do-?

3rd person Pov

Roman made it to science and sat towards the middle. The teacher was rambling on about how we were getting partners for experiments and projects though out the year. Most people were excited to pick a partner and work with friends. But some like Virgil weren't excited. He didn't have any friends in this class and hated socializing with these shit heads.

She went on to talk about the next unit and stuff like that and when she was done people were about to get up to get partners.

"Oh and before I forget the partner list is on that wall. I've already picked them for you and I chose it based on matching academic levels and making sure they were no distractions with partners including friends." She spoke. Everyone groaned.

"Now go look and sit next to that person and partner read chapter 11 and take notes" She waved her hand to the sheet.

Virgil scooted his way up, starting to shrivel as to not touch anyone. People shoved past deliberately bumping into him and jabbing elbows into his harshly bruised chest. In the jerk of people he bumped into a guy reasonably bigger and and taller than him.

"Watch it queer." He scolded. Virgil nodded and stumbled in fear brushing shoulders with a girl.

"Back up freak." She spat. He knew he was getting all the extra because of the outfit.

Meanwhile Roman found his name and saw Virgil's next to him. He smiled a bit. A chance to grow closer to the Emo and have and excuse to hang out with him. Ro quickly found him.

"Hey I'm your new partner" The prince smiled. Virge froze he didn't know why to feel happy, flustered, or panicked.

"O-ok" The smaller male smiled shyly with a light blush. The two sat next to each other and stayed in silence for a moment. Vi didn't know what to say.

"Sorry about earlier" Ro blushed a bit.

"I-it's ok..." The emo said back.

"We should probably get to work" Roman took out a textbook. Virgil nodded. But with the distance of the desk partner reading was a challenge. Roman scooted his desk so it was touching Virgil's. Followed by the two scooting together, their bodies pressing together a bit. Roman read first. His emerald green eyes following the words as his deep yet soft voice spoke the words. Virgil tried to pay attention but his attention was on the boy beside him. Studying each chiseled line on his smooth tan face. How his dimples formed every time his mouth curved upwards to speak. How his one beauty mark below his right eye could complete his facial features so well. Before he knew it Roman finished his page and those green eyes looked back at him.

"Your turn" he spoke softly.

"Oh right sorry" V turned his attention to the page. Ro scoffed to himself. He knew the love struck boy had been staring at him. The prince looked to the page and followed along. Watched as Virgils slender hand traced below the line of text as a guide line to not mess up. The way his words looked coming out of those soft rose lips of his. And for the first time Roman realized that Virgil had freckles. The first time he saw the anxious one with out foundation. How he could count and make shapes and constellations out of them as if they were stars.

It reminded him of some one from a long time ago. Messy black hair and freckles but couldn't remember the name or the face. Why did that stand out? For all Roman knew this person he was reminded of could been from kindergarten. He shook it off and listened to the other male. When they were finished the two looked at each other, realizing they weren't paying attention. Virgil reddened and looked away, Roman chuckled at the smaller boy.

"It's ok we can write down what we remember and look through it again." Ro smiled a bit. Vi nodded and wrote down his own facts and ideas he caught along with Romans. They skimmed again to fill in the blanks followed by color coding and highlighting they're text.

"For a couple of idiots who daydreamed while we were reading we didn't do half bad. The notes are pretty through and your cute handwriting complements the color" Roman shrugged. Virgil giggled without filter, his eyes crinkling up with a bright smile forming on his lips, tongue perfectly placed in between his teeth making an adorable scene. The shy males face pigmented red as he covered his mouth out of embarrassment.

Roman began to crack up "oh that's adorable... why would you cover that up?" He asked.

"People would make fun of me for it... they said it was girly" Virgil muttered.

"Oh fuck what people think. Besides gender stereotypes can fuck off. We're all human and a laugh is a laugh there should be no gender behind it" Ro stated.

"Your right... but people here don't think like that" Vi sighed.

"That's true..." Princey said in a less happy tone.

Just like that the bell had rung. Roman put the notes in his binder and packed up, Virge doing the same.

They went to break and had some mindless banter, got him introduced to the gang and told him to basically be our body guard from deceit. Then they all went to they're respective 3rd and 4th periods. Just like that lunch had rolled around again.

Virgil was on his way to lunch when the the duo version of Heathers stopped his path. All they were missing was the main bitch and we could do an entire musical reprise of the movie.

"We noticed that you dressed all cute today to try and get Romans attention again. Huh slut!?" Jessica pushed him down with her heal.

"You were flirting with him in science today. Weren't you?" Mackenzie asked bending down to ground level.

"W-we were just partners and I didn't even wanna wear this! I-it was my friends idea." He stood up.

"Sure. But I thought we'd always put you in your place. Guess he needs a review. Have fun boys~" Jessie walked into the background as a group of big guys came up.

"No... no wait!" Virge stumbled back. The three cornered him into a locker and they proceeded to just have his way with him. If he fought back he'd get worse. If he cried he'd also get it worse. He just stood there and tried not to cry as he was punched, kicked, and shoved around. While nasty words flowed.

"You're nothing."

"Stop trying."

"Kill yourself already."

When they were done he was put in a trash can and they walked off.

He lied there for a moment, trying to find the strength and drive to get up. He had no motivation. But he couldn't just stay there. So he got out of the trash can and decided to ditch the rest of the day. After that Virgil couldn't stand to interact nor sit in a chair for a couple more hours with an aching body and empty stomach. He looked out at the courtyard where the exit was. All the Campus Supervisors were in the lunch area so he made a clean escape out the doors and ran towards home.

Virgil's Pov

Ain't it just my luck?

How my day can go from decent to shit with one interaction?

How I can go from floaty and love struck to depressed and on the verge of killing someone in a matter of seconds?

Fascinating isn't it?

I always get my hopes up. And I got no idea why.
