Chapter 2

As I continue to walk towards my next class I think about what Tori was saying. I really should just give up on Chris. I mean I know he doesn't like me, hell he has a girlfriend! The rational part of me what's to give up and maybe love somebody that I know will accept me. The irrational part of me doesn't want to just put almost 2 years of secretly loving someone in the garbage.

As I continue down the hall obviously not paying attention to me surroundings. I suddenly fell face forward.Luckily my face did not make impact. My stomach on the other hand. "mnhhhhh" making a load groaning sound as I slowly push my self up.

"hahah did you see this dick fall" the guy that tripped me says. Breathe, breathe, I tell my self; as tears start to pick up in the corners of my eyes. Calm down, breathe. I stand up brushing off my self and fixing my clothes and bag. Keeping my face down to not show my on coming tears. "If anything I I'd say he takes the dick" both of them starts to roar out in laughter at their stupid joke. "Awww, he's crying." Duke says. "where is mama Tori" the one that tripped me says.

"Tori is my friend" I all but whisper to them. "What did you say to me little fag" Duke says as he steps closer to me. "H-he's m-my friend" I mange to stutter out. 'Great' I think another god damn reason for me to get bulled.

"Dude" duke says to the one that tripped me.

"I bet Tori is fucking him"

" that's makes it incest" the other counters.

"N-No that's not true Tori is just-"

"HEY"

I turn in the direction of the sudden shout.

"coach says he needs to see us" Chris says towards the duke and his friend.

They step back away from me and fallow Chris down the hall as the stop in other class rooms to pick up the other soccer team members.

I continue down towards my next class. Once arriving I put my head down on my desk. taking deep breath and making a larger than necessary exhale. I know if I look up people will notice my full face blush. Chris is just too aghhhhhh, I can't even describe him. Then I think about what Duke and his friend. And then I remember what Tori was saying. Making another groaning sound aloud I close my eyes. I need to let go of this crush. But, maybe I can hold onto it a little longer.
