I'm not feeling really motivated... But I have nothing better to do so... I'm sorry if it's bad.

Patton's P.O.V

I was so excited that the principal wanted me to became to school's president, that I wanted to tell Roman, but when I texted him he said that he had something to do.
I don't know but I have a bad feeling about these new faces; Derek and Megan.

After I finished my homework I went on instagram. Then I noticed that Megan and Derek had uploaded a new story at their accounts. I tapped on Megan's story.

There was a picture of her kissing Roman and a small text saying; "with my boyfriend!"

I felt tears filling my eyes and I tapped at Derek's story.

There was a picture of all the three of them, at a park or something, and a text saying; "with my bro and his gf."

The tears escaped my eyes and ran on my cheeks. Suddenly I felt a strong wave of anger taking over me.

"So THAT was his 'important job'? I-I though we were friends!" I said and threw phone away. It was the first time I was feeling and behaving like this.

After a while my phone buzzed. There was a text from Roman.

*phone*

Roman:
Hey dude! I'm back. Wanna tell me the big news?

*real world*

I didn't answer. I just closed my phone and went to sleep.

~~~next day~~~

Virgil's P.O.V

"Another day at heaven..." I muttered sarcastically when I got at school. I looked around and cautiously made my way to the lockers, trying to not draw any attention on me. 

"Virgil Murphy?"

Mission failed.

I turned and saw the Principal

"Yes sir?" I asked

"Could you please follow me to my office?"

"Sure..." I said and followed him. I kinda knew what this was all about.

We walked into his office and there was my mom and -of course- that...guy called Roman.

"We are here to talk about what happened yesterday."the principal stated

Called it I thought

"We are worried because it is probably a bullying action. Do you, Virgil,  have any problems with your classmates?" he asked. I noticed that Roman was staring at me like... Like he cared? "Mister Murphy."

"Huh? Uh... No... Um... Everything is just fine. The students here are... Well... Super-super friendly." I said trying to not sound sarcastic

"Then how-"

"My fault..." I laughed awkwardly "I though I heard something from the inside and when I tried to check it the door closed and locked me inside."

"Oh. Okay then. The next time you notice something odd you should let the school's authority figures know. Don't involve your self, because this is what happens."

"Yeah... I-I'm sorry." I said awkwardly.

"So you and mister Brown over here-" he pointed at Roman "Should get to your classes."

"Okay. Bye mom." I muttered and got out of the office. Suddenly I felt someone grabbing my hand and I turned quickly. "What the f-"

"Hey... You are sure that you are okay? You can talk to me if you wanna... I mean I-" Roman said

"I'm okay." I took my hand away with a violent movement "You don't have to play the prince for me okay?" I said and turned away. I don't even know why I talked to him like this -he was the one who found me after all- but right now I was so furious with my own self, that I couldn't stand up to these bullies and I just lied to cover my weakness. I'm a failure! My dad knew what he was saying.

Roman's P.O.V

What's wrong with everyone today? Patton didn't answer my text last night and today he was avoiding me, Virgil was a bit too aggressive to me while I was trying to help him and that nerd... I mean Logan was giving weird looks to my group like he was afraid of something.

I finally got to class and sat down. Soon,  Megan sat next to me and Derek behind us. Surprisingly Patton didn't sit with us as usual,  instead he sat with a girl with braces.

"Hallo class." The English class began "Today, since it's our first class for this year, I thought that we could talk about a very well-known person, Shakespeare."

The class was really interesting from me. I mean we talked about Shakespeare's life and biggest works. My favourite one is "Romeo And Juliet.", that's why I was so excited about the task he gave us. "So, I'm going to sort you into groups of five and you will have to do a remake of one scene, that I'll give you,  from 'Romeo and Juliet'. Only two of you will actually acting. The rest of you will take care of other things such as sound. Why? Because I want you to make an actual little theatrical presentation. You can add your own details. Be creative children!" He finished.

Haha creativity is my second named I thought

So the teacher started sorting us into groups and giving random scenes from the play.

"I hope I'll be with you Roman-love! I'll be Juliet... Will you be my Romeo?" she chucked

"You do realize that we both die at the end... Right?" I said, mostly because I wanted to wash away that look from her face. Roman what are you doing? She is your girlfriend.

"Next team is; Megan, Derek, Alex, Susan, Cody." The teacher said

"WHAT? No! I wanna be with Roman!" Megan screamed.

I actually felt... relieved?

The teacher looked at her for a brief second and continued 

"And last but not least; Roman, Harley, Patton, Logan and Virgil."

"WHAT?! WHY WITH HIM?" Megan pointed at Virgil who looked down immediately.

The teacher looked at her again, giving her a caution look. He cleared his troat and continued

"Please. Sit with your partners and talk about the project. You have 5 minutes before recess."

Patton, Logan, Virgil, Me and Harley -the girl who was sitting next to Patton- sat close to each other.

"So.. Where can we meet?" Harley asked

"Not at our home Harley. Mom and Dad are busy." Logan answered

"Wait... You are siblings?" I asked

"Yeah!" Harley answered cheerfully "Now.. Where can we meet? Patton?"

"I'd love too... But... There are some problems, so you can't come. I'm sorry." Patton answered. I feel that something is going on with him. I feel worried

"I-it's not possible at my house either. My little brother has a cold and it's better to stay away." Virgil answered

"Oh okay. Well I think it would be okay to come to mine." I said at last.

"Alright!". Harley smiled, but everyone else seemed a bit... I don't know. Like something was going on.

"We can meet somewhere else if.... " I started

"No. It's okay." Virgil answered.

"Alright. Um... Would you mind exchanging phone numbers?" I asked again

They nodded and we exchanged numbers. The bell rank.

"Patton can I talk to you?" I asked

"No, sorry." He answered quickly "I have to go somewhere." He left the class before I could react.

What is going on? What is going on with everybody?

Virgil's P.O.V

Ugh! I hate group projects! I'm not good with people, okay? I have severe social anxiety. And at the top of all I'm in the same group with Roman. I feel weird and embarrassed and I don't know why!

Patton's P.O.V

I love group projects, I really do. But I don't wanna be with Roman. He made me angry and I feel hurt.

Logan's P.O.V

I hate group projects! I prefer working alone. I'm not antisocial but if you want a job to be done right, you have to do it by yourself! In addition I don't feel okay about having Roman as my teammate. Because.... Because I'm scared.... That he and his friends will reveal my secret... And I don't want to.

Virgil, Logan and Patton P.O.V

I can't do that project.
