TW: The use of the f-slur in passing several times

"Who're you texting, Nerd?" Roman asked, practically lying on his desk so he could see over Logan's shoulder. Logan turned his phone off and put it down on the desk.

"My boyfriend."

"Record scratch?" Remus asked. "Nerdy Wolverine has a boyfriend?"

"Yes. Why is that so hard to believe?"

Remus exchanged looks with his twin before bursting out into uncontrollable laughter. Roman checked his watch and sighed.

"I'm still bored."

"Well, if you're bored," Janus said, grinning and standing up, "we could always leave."

"Are you insane?" Logan asked disbelievingly. "We can't leave. We'll be stuck in Isolation until Graduation."

"Logan, I think you are overestimating my ability to give a fuck about school." Janus said, walking backwards out of the Detention Hall. Remus giggled and followed him.

"Remus!" Roman hissed, running after his brother. Logan looked from the door to Virgil, astonished. Virgil shrugged and smirked, grabbing his headphones and leaving. Logan growled under his breath.

"I am not about to become a fence." He hissed to himself, following the four others out of the Detention Hall.

"We're going to high school equivalent of die if we get caught." Logan hissed as Janus ran his hand along the wall of lockers before stopping outside one with black writing on it.

"If you open this, you're a fag?" Roman read out. "Seriously?"

"Yup." Janus said, grinning as he opened his locker. "Because I'm a fag, Virgil's a fag, Logan's a fag and you and your brother are most definite fags." Roman opened his mouth but Janus cut him off. "Find one thing with that statement that is factually incorrect. I dare you."

Roman sighed and said nothing. Janus smirked and grabbed something from his locker.

"If we're looting our lockers, I've got something that-"

"No Remus, you cannot get your drugs." Roman sighed, cutting his twin off. Remus huffed.

"Well, I'm off to find somewhere I can play some music." Virgil said, turning his back on the group.

"Nu-uh." Roman protested. "You're staying with the group, Emo Nightmare. We're all staying with the group."

Virgil groaned. "Ugh, fine."

Janus shoved his hands in his pockets. "I'm bored. Let's play Never Have I Ever."

"Fine."

Janus grinned and started walking down the corridor, Remus falling into step beside him. "Okay... Never Have I Ever cheated. I have."

"No."

"No."

"You've cheated twice. I have not."

Everyone looked at Remus who grinned. "Yup. I cheated on this one girl near the beginning of last year."

Roman sighed. "You're insufferable. Never Have I Ever fallen for someone the first time I've seen them."

"Guilty!" Remus sang, winking at Janus who blushed slightly.

"I haven't." He said quickly.

"I have." Roman said, winking at Virgil who rolled his eyes.

"I guess I have." Virgil muttered.

"I haven't." Logan muttered, getting out his phone.

"Wait, sh." Janus said suddenly, putting an arm out to stop the others. "There's a teacher." Poking their heads around the corner, the four others saw Miss Asher, the formidable gym teacher.

"Run!" Virgil whispered. They all sprinted down the corridor, Roman's trainers squeaking slightly on the polished floor. Janus stopped suddenly, getting an idea.

"Janus, what are you doing?" Remus whispered, rounding the corner. Janus winked and took a rock out of his pocket. He threw it as hard as he could at one of the lockers, making a huge clanging sound, before bolting after the others.

"That should give us some time." He hissed as he ran past Remus.

They all got back to the Detention Hall, panting and red-faced but all in one piece.

"Okay." Roman said, leaning over and trying to catch his breath. "Let's agree to never do that ever again."

"Carried unanimously." Logan said, flopping into a chair and fixing his glasses.

"Why don't we play Truth or Dare?" Remus asked, his eyes lighting up.

"No." Virgil said simply.

"Also carried unanimously." Logan piped up. Remus huffed and crossed his arms.

"You guys are no fun."

Suddenly, Mr Greenwood came through the open door.

"Hello students." He spat the word 'students' out as if it hurt him. "You get 20 minutes for lunch and then you go straight back to you essays, okay?"

"Sorry sir, I don't understand." Janus said innocently. Mr Greenwood sighed.

"What don't you understand, Mr Dagger?"

"The use of the word 'straight'. You see," Janus started flicking a pencil through his fingers, "I'm so gay that I don't understand that word."

Remus burst out into quiet, explosive laughter and even Virgil snickered slightly. Mr Greenwood narrowed his eyes.

"20 minutes." He repeated before sweeping from the room.
