5.
Virgil looked at Roman's hands. His knuckles on his right hand we're red... He must have punched something really hard they were almost bleeding...
*few minutes earlier in the bathroom* [Author-chan note because of my bad sence of humor: Roman in the bathroom, Roman in the bathroom at a party XD]
Roman stormed into the bathroom. He checked if there was anyone else. He was alone. Perfect. He let out his anger as he punched the wall. Tears started ronline down his face and he fell to the floor crying holding his hand as it started to hurt.
(First time I drawed someone sitting like this. RIP anatomy)
"Why is he better than me in every way?! Parents love him more than me, he's smarter than me, he's taller than me, he's better actor than me! I'd bet Virgil will like him more than me! Just like Patton! Just like my ex, just like parents..." His voice was cracking as he cried. He got up and tried to calm down. He dried his tears, he poured cold water on his hand and after few more sobs he left the bathroom pulling off his best fake confident smile.
The one thing he is better at doing than Logan. He came back to others. Virgil was obviously about to go search for him. After he said obvious lie to Patton to spare Patton feeling bad for him he noticed Virgil's expression. While Logan didn't give any sigh of care, Virgil looked at him worried and a knowing.
He knew didn't he? Virgil knew... He seen right through his lies. He saw his weakness. He knew he is weak. He is supposed to be the prince of this place. The knite in shining armor. But Virgil saw that he isn't as confident as he was pulling off...
'Roman... Did he cried? Somebody hug him!'
'Roman are you okay?'
Virgil put his hand on Roman's shoulder.
V: "Wanna talk...?"
R: "I'm good."
Virgil slightly pointed at Roman's right hand.
V: "Are you..."
R: "Yeah I... I... I accidentally hit the wall while I was trying to get the bird out..."
Virgil gave him that look that was just saying Why are you lying when you can see I'm not buying that.
Roman just smiled at him more. While Virgil grew more worried. That is the smile he was giving Patton when he was hurting. Less confident, less bright. But still the same.
Virgil was worried for Roman. Roman looked at him and Patton and said.
R: "Hey I'm planning to have a party tomorrow. As a welcome for the new school year. Do you want to come?"
P: "Yes!"
V: "... How... How many people will be there...?"
R: "No more than 20. I actually don't like big parties. Those are people I trust. Close friends. But you Virg. Since Patton talks so well about you, I don't have a doubt that you are a good person. So I trust you."
V: "About 20... Alright... I actually have no choice. Patton would drag me along..."
P: "True. Because you need to socialize more."
Roman laughed a bit.
The bell rang announcing that the break is over. Second hour of this lesson started.
All 4 of them sat in circle with the other actors reading their lines. Virgil and Patton loved Heathers so they already knew most of their lines. Virgil found out that Patton is acting Heather McNamara. So he is Harry. Instead of Heathers there are Harrys. Virgil was okay with it. He also noticed that Roman already knows all the lines so he's looking around. Logan was reading his book so he must already know it all too. So basically only Patton was reading it because he wanted to preform it the best he could while Virgil got easily distracted by everyone. That girl across him is muttering her text. He could hear her mumbling the song kindergarten boyfriend. So she must be acting Martha.
That good looking boy next to her, wearing red cardigan who seemed a bit narcissistic was definitely Heather Chandler. He had her vibes. The I'm a queen vibes. Virgil was looking all around but he couldn't find anyone who reminded him of the last Heather. The worst of them all. Heather Duke. That sneak.
He lightly tapped on Roman's shoulder after taking a deep breath feeling kinda nauseous. Roman looked at him as Virgil whispered.
V: "Who is acting Harry Duke?"
R: "Oh! My old friend. He isn't here because he felt sick this morning but I got him the role at the end of the last school year. Aaron that was supposed to be JD said that day that that he quit. We thought he was joking. Heh but I gotta say that you'll be way better JD. Just to style your hair a bit up. So we can see both your eyes-"
V: "No!" Virgil cut of Roman and than covered his mouth by his hand right away. "I... I mean... I just........"
R: "What?"
Everyone was looking at Virgil because he broke the silence and whispering by almost screaming that No.
Virgil got really anxious. Like REALLY anxious. He started to breathe heavily. His mind had only one thought in it. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM THEM, RIGHT, NOW.
He got up. He was nauseous, anxious, and felt the need to be alone to calm down. He looked around really fast until he noticed a sign with a WC wrote on it. He ran to the bathroom right away. He came to the sink with the mirror above it. He placed his hands on the edges of the sink breathing heavily. He started the water and splashed some on his face.
He dried his face and than looked into the mirror. He pushed his hair from his other eye. He felt like a monster looking at it... He heard as the door to the bathroom began to open. He dropped his hair down, in the doorway was Patton. He ran to Virgil and hugged him. He started to repeat what he always says to calm Virgil down. They slowly sat at the floor of the bathroom.
P: "Breathe in for 4 seconds. Hold it for 7... Breathe out for 8... Good. Continue."
As Virgil was listening to Patton his anxiety started to ease up. Patton is there. Everything will be fine. They'll find a way for him... Eye contacts or something.
'Omg Patton such a good brother.'
'Is he having a panic attack?'
'I'm glad our boi Virgil got such a good bro UwU'
Roman came in slowly not wanting to scare or upset Virgil even more. Virg looked at him from Patton's embrace and Roman could see a tear in his eye. Did he made him cry? Roman felt so sorry for Virgil. He didn't know what to do so he slowly sat down on the floor pushing himself slowly towards them.
R: "I... I... I'm sorry Virgil. I didn't know that you... That you are insecure about your other eye. I don't know what's with it... But if you are so sensitive to it than I won't ask... You can tell me when you feel okay with telling me... I- I'm talking to much... Sorry..."
Virgil was really insecure about his eye... It was one of the reasons why he was bullied and why he was called a monster. That's why he started to feel like a monster... That's why he started to hide it... He used to have a nickname Anxiety. He actually like it. Even though his bullies were those that gave him that nickname. He started to use it. Even teachers on his old school started to call him that instead of his difficult last name.
Virgil sobbed softly before he let go of Patton and saying:
V: "It's okay... You... You couldn't possibly known... You probably just thought I'm emo..."
Patton kept patting and cuddling to Virgil making him know that he is there with him, for him.
P: "Awww... You poor anxious baby."
R: "I'm sorry..."
V: "It's okay... We'll find a way to do it... Shouldn't we go back?"
P: "Are you sure your ready?"
V: "Ready as I'll ever be."
R: "Was that. A Disney reference?!"
V: "Yeah."
R: "I love Disney."
V: "Tell me about it."
Virgil started to get up, slowly. He needed to find his balance. Patton got up and assisted his brother while Roman got up too. They walked back. Teacher saw how green Virgil seemed so she brushed his run for the bathroom as just a feeling nauseous about the fact that he is in new collective. Patton talked to her about Virgil too. So she knew what is she getting into accepting Virgil with his anxiety and more as one of the group.
They all sat back down when the teacher announced.
"Those that already know the lines can practice together on the other half of the stage. Just talking."
Roman looked at Virgil.
R: "Would you practice our lines with me?"
He said it in the Will you marry me my love voice. Virgil blushed a bit and nodded. While Patton was practicing with Logan, Roman and Virgil dat in the corner of the stage practicing some lines.
R: "Try to sound more hateful. You are convinced that there is no other way to make peace than killing the whole school."
V: "I don't know how..."
R: "Imagine that the whole school is filled with someone you hate from the bottom of your heart and they are hurting Patton."
Virgil's eyes filled with anger and hate. He remembered how his old bully started to hurt Patton to hurt him.
"THE ONLY PLACE WHERE HARRYS AND MARTHAS CAN GET ALONG IS IN HEAVEN!"
Roman looked at Virgil in awe. He was surprised that in such a little anxious ball was so much hate to put into that line.
R: "That... Was perfect!"
Virgil calmed down and smiled a bit.
V: "T-Thanks..."
Allisa standing in front of the stage clapped a bit to Virgil. Giving him a warm smile. Roman looked at her.
R: "Your his friend?"
A: "New classmate but I hope that I'm a friend."
V: "Friend. Your to emo not to be my friend."
Allisa and Roman laughed.
A: "Don't mind me I'm just encouraging support team."
She giggled.
R: "Hi encouraging support team. I'm Roman."
Patton from somewhere next to them laughed, Virgil giggled and Allisa laughed.
A: "Allisa. Nice to met'cha."
R: "Nice to meet you to. But we should probably get back to practicing."
A: "Okay. Won't bother you anymore." She giggled once more.
Roman turned back to Virgil. After a few lines he told him
R: "I sometimes come here after school to practice. If you want you can come with me."
V: "Today?"
R: "If you want."
V: "O-Okay..."
He blushed a bit. Was this supposed to be a date? Roman than seemed like he remembered something and ran to get his backpack. He got out of his backpack a hardcover notebook and a pen. He got a piece of paper from it and wrote his number on it. Than handed it to Virgil.
R: "Here. My number. You can ask me about the party, we can text to each other or... Something. You can find me on Facebook too. I wrote my whole name so..."
Virgil looked at the paper. Above the number was name: Roman Princeps.
V: "Thanks. Will do."
R: "Cool."
Virgil noticed one of the actors that one in red cardigan was talking with Allisa. It seems like they know each other.
V: "Hey Roman. Who is that?"
Roman looked at the guy talking to Allisa.
(Author note: I can see Remi like: my boyfriend cheated on me and I'm f*cking exposing him! XD)
R: "That's our boy Remi. He's pretty chill I guess. If I should describe him I'd say that he is something between my and your personality. Probably."
V: "Cool. Why can I see him as he hipster on his phone sitting in Starbucks than getting into car like: Get in b*tch. We're going napping. Slash the party boy?"
R: "Are you sure you don't know him? Because that was the best description on Remi I ever heard."
He said as he started to laugh.
This is probably the longest part I did by now. Lol. What do you want me to draw to the last few parts? And do you want to see a cute little Virgil and kind of a portrait of him I tried?
