Some Of Us Troubled, Some Of Us Happy
Jimmy's Perspective-
Jimmy sat down at lunch and looked over at the table at which Scott and Owen were sitting at.
"Are you still fantasizing over him?" Oli asked.
"Yeah." Jimmy said, resting his head on his hand.
"Are you okay? You look wreaked." Grian said.
Jimmy turned to him, "River broke up with Lizzie and she's been a mess."
"Who?" Mumbo asked.
"River is Jimmy's sister's boyfriend." Grian said, "Well...ex-boyfriend."
He turned to Jimmy, "I don't understand why you're upset though, he hated us."
"It's been messing with Lizzie, that's why. She's not herself. She's been shouting, throwing things around, staying in her room...I've only spoken to her twice and both times she's made me feel hopeless."
"About what?"
"About my crushes! About Scott!" Jimmy whined into his arms.
His friends exchanged worried looks and Grian then patted Jimmy's back.
"Tim, it's not the end of the world."
"You see them over there?" Jimmy mumbled into his arms, "You see Owen and Scott? You see the way Scott looks at him?"
They all looked over to Scott and Owen's table.
Scott was laughing and blushing while Owen was telling jokes.
"You see them? See how happy they are?"
"I thought you told me you were okay with Scott dating Owen as long as he was happy."
"You think it's easy for me to let him go? He's perfect!"
"No one's perfect." Pix said, "No matter how hard I try."
"It's a figure of speech." Jimmy grumbled.
Pix chuckled, "I know, it's a joke."
"Your jokes take a lot of work." Oli said, taking a bite of his sandwich.
"That doesn't matter right now!" Jimmy groaned.
"Tim, you need to calm down."
"Well, I'm sorry, but when I'm home I'm surrounded by my panicking parents and my heartbroken, negative sister. I don't have any ways to be happy. Especially with Scott being in love with Owen, and me not being accepted in society because of what I am."
"You're accepted in our friend group."
"Does that matter though? What about everyone else? What about all the bitches telling gay jokes and making it seem as though I suck?"
"Yeah...people suck." Oli said and Jimmy chuckled.
"See? That's how to make someone laugh." Oli boasted to Pix who rolled his eyes, though he was still smiling.
"I mean, my parents always told me to ignore it." Mumbo said.
"It's hard to ignore people who are making pronoun jokes or gagging whenever someone's gay."
"Look, maybe you should eat something and calm down." Mumbo passed Jimmy a bag of chips.
"And look on the bright side. Just one more week...well maybe two since we have to finish this one and then the next, anyway, just remember that we're gonna go trick or treating together for Halloween!" Grian said, smiling.
Jimmy nodded, still looking at Scott and Owen.
"Come on, Jim." Pix said, elbowing Jimmy softly, "You got this."
Jimmy tore his eyes from Scott and smiled at Pix.
"Thanks."
Scott's Perspective-
"You misspelled Washington. How did you misspell Washington?!" Scott giggled. (Also I guess this story takes place in the U.S idk)
Owen moved his hand and looked at what he wrote.
He hesitated, "You know? I'm not really sure."
Scott cracked up and then took the pencil.
"Here, let me help."
Scott blushed as he helped Owen with their project.
"Oh...yeah I thought it looked weird." Owen said.
Scott laughed again and then told Owen what to write.
As he was doing so, he felt someone's eyes on him.
He turned around.
He saw Jimmy laying his head on his arms, looking depressed while Grian and Mumbo were trying to help him.
Oli had said something which made Pix and Jimmy laugh and Mumbo handed Jimmy a bag of chips.
Scott waved over at Jimmy, but he was looking at Grian.
"Who're you waving at?"
"Oh, my friend Jimmy." Scott said, turning around.
"Aren't you dating him?"
"W-what?! No! I like someone else!" Scott said, "And," He lowered his voice, "How'd you know I'm gay?"
Owen shrugged, "I guess it was obvious. I mean, I've seen you walk and talk with Jimmy so I assumed you two were dating."
"Oh...yeah, we're not. We're just friends."
Owen nodded and Scott watched him nervously as Owen wrote stuff down.
"So- er, are you doing anything on Halloween?" Scott asked.
"Uh- yeah, I'm going to Katherine's party."
Scott's face lit up.
"Why?" Owen asked.
"I was just wondering. I didn't know if she invited you or not."
Owen finished the sentence and smiled at Scott, making him blush,
"I'll be there!"
