She shrugs, "he says he's not threatened by two gay guys,"
"Yeah— Wait—" Pete stops causing his friends to stop, "Carlos thinks I'm gay? Wait— do people think I'm gay?"
"Your friends are a gay guy and a girl," Jasper answers, "it's not that hard to assume." "I seriously need to get a girlfriend," they continue to walk
"You guys are coming to the game tonight right?" They both nod, "ok good I have to go find the
team, I'll see you guys after the pep rally."
"Later." Savannah turns down a different hall leaving Pete and Jasper to continue forward alone, "I can't believe people think I'm gay"
"It's ok buddy, you'll find a girlfriend and prove them wrong."
It's pep rally time and all of Everton high is in the gym flooding the bleachers waiting for it to start. As he's sitting next to Pete, Jasper's phone vibrates
J help! I forgot my hair ribbon in my locker and apparently, we're not in unison without it. Could you please run to my locker and grab it for me? Meet me by the girl's locker room
"Sav forgot her ribbon in her locker and needs me to go get it for her," "Ok I'll save your seat," Pete replies and Jasper gets up leaving the gym.
With everyone in the gym the halls are practically empty, one hall, in particular, was completely
empty with four boys standing in it. The closer he walks the clearer Jasper can see Alister pinning Daniel against a wall while his friends stand around egging him on.
"Got nothing to say, bitch?" JJ asks behind Alister "Maybe this'll make him talk," Alister raises a fist
"ALISTER STOP!" Jasper screams rushing towards them before he can hit Daniel, "what the fuck is wrong with you guys? Let him go!" Jasper
tries to shove Alister off but he doesn't budge, "let him go Alister you need to be better than this!" "Fuck off Jasper you don't even know him!"
"I don't care let him go!" Jasper holds the arm pressing Daniel into the wall, "get off!" He barks one last time and Alister finally listens
"What the fuck is your problem?!" He turns to Jasper, "stop standing up for that piece of shit" "Stop being such an asshole and I won't have to!"
As they're arguing Jasper doesn't notice Daniel trying to get away but someone else does, "yeah keep walking bitch its all you can do," JJ says before raising the styrofoam cup in his hand
"JJ don't!" But it was too late for jasper to stop him, next thing he knows chocolate milkshake drips down Daniel's back causing him to stop walking.
"That seemed to work, got something to say now?" They wait for Daniel to react but he doesn't, he just keeps walking.
"So fucking childish, you guys need to grow the fuck up!" Jasper shoves Alister before walking away. Rushing to the nearest boy's bathroom, Jasper walks in to find Daniel cleaning his uniform, jacket
under the faucet. He stays by the door and asks, "are you ok?" Daniel ignores the questions keeping
his focus on getting as much of the stain off, "you can get a clean one at the schoo
