CHAPTER 4
Virgil POV
I was standing at my locker, grabbing a few books, and getting ready for math class when Roman waltzed up to me. "Hey, Princey..." I muttered, hoping he wouldn't hurt me. I braced myself to be picked up and punched, but instead, he placed a hand on my shoulder. He sighed. "You sir, are a bitch." He said. "But," then he sighed. "Just come with me, I can't say here.". People were already starting to stare.
He grabbed my hand, pulling me through the hallway and into the auditorium. Since I could see color, I noticed his face was red, and inferred that mine was too. It was pitch black after he shut the door, and I screamed. He covered my mouth and pulled me to to the stage. "Shut up!" He whisper-yelled, letting go of my mouth.
"What are we doing?!" I whispered. He pushed me onto the stage, making me sit on the edge. He went backstage and flipped a switch, making the spotlight turn on. It shone right into my face and I hissed. "What are you doing?!" I repeated, talking normally this time.
He sighed, walking over to me and sitting. "I didn't want to ask in front of all the people in the hall, but would you like to go see a movie with me tomorrow night?" I tried to say "of course" but instead I muttered "Uh-Gah."
He laughed. "I'm going to take that as a yes. Lunch?" He held his hand out, so I took it.
Roman POV
I chuckled, leading Virgil through the halls and to the lunch room. He was cute when he was flustered. When we were finally in an empty hall, I kissed his cheek. He turned a dark crimson color, and I can only assume that I did too. I heard him lightly swear under his breath, cursing himself for being flustered. I tried not to laugh, not wanting to embarrass him more.
I pulled him farther down the hallway and to the lunchroom door. "You wanna sit with Patton, Logan and me?" He nodded, and I wasn't sure if he could speak due to how flustered he was. "Great!". I opened the lunchroom door, gesturing for him to enter. He did, and I followed him, showing where our table was. I sat. "Here ya go." I said, "you can sit next to me." He sat down and finally muttered "Uh, thanks."
Patton looked up from his food, noticing Virgil and I. He elbowed Logan, motioning for him to look at us. Virgil blushed again, and I smiled. He looked over to a table in the corner, where two boys sat. I followed his gaze and studied the boys. One of them, I think his name is Janus, was looking back and forth between us and his friend. I had always seen him around, with his creepy snake-face and weird fashion. By snake-face, I mean that he was born with a birth defect that caused the right side of his face to look like it was covered in scales. I looked at the boy he was talking to, and quickly realized it was my brother, Remus. Ugh, I hate him. He is....to say the least, strange.
He noticed me staring and waved across the room. I rolled my eyes. The last thing I saw before looking away was the boy called Janus wiping a tear from his eye.
Janus POV
Remus and I were sitting at our usual table near the trash cans. I checked my watch for the millionth time and sighed. Virgil was nearly ten minutes late to lunch. He was always on time. I looked up at Remus. "Hey Re?" he looked up. "Hm?" he had been scribbling on a piece of notepaper, as we always waited for everybody to arrive before eating. " Do you think Virge is okay? Where is he?" I glanced at my watch again. 11 minutes late. "I dunno,Snakey! Maybe him and Ro are making out in a closet somewhere." He shrugged, and I rolled my eyes. "Gross...". Just then I heard the Lunch room doors next to us open.
I looked over,expecting Virgil. It was him, but he wasn't alone. Roman was close on his tail, guiding him to a different table. Remus sat across from me, as confused as ever. "Are you sitting with us?" I called, but he didn't answer. Remus frowned across from me. "M-Maybe he didn't hear..." I sighed again. "Maybe."
Virgil was my only friend, other than Remus, and the thought of him leaving scared me. Remus put his hand on mine, a rare occurrence. "He's not gonna leave, Dee." he muttered. I looked over to Romans table, and saw them looking at us. Remus waved to Roman, and he ignored him. From what I can tell, he's a terrible brother. Virgil looked away and I wiped a tear from my eye.
