Chapter 1- A New Acquaintance
"No! Gary!" Pete Kowalski cried from behind the metal gates of Bullworth Academy. Gary Smith looked over his shoulder at the small, innocent boy. A single tear slipped from his scarred eye as he trudged into the darkness. He glanced over one more to time to remember his Petey's tear stained face. Petey knew this look immediately.
It was the parting glance.
He slumped next to the cold, iron bars, hugging his knees.
Why did he have to leave? Why…? Petey whispered in his head over and over again. The night dragged as Petey curled up in a ball, falling against the cold concrete. Unable to stop the tears, he subsided into unconsciousness.
Petey opened his tired eyes. The blinding sunlight shined in his face for a mere second before a brawny figure concealed the light. A navy blazer with beige blue slacks leaned over him. Once he got a closer look at his face, he stumbled backwards, avoiding his stare.
"Are you okay?" Petey noticed a hint of concern in his childish voice. Behind the glasses, a pair of kinder eyes spoke to him.
"Uh…yes, well no… Edward Seymour?" Pete sucked in a breath. Gary had left him, of course everything wasn't okay. The prefect looked at him with curious, brown eyes.
"What happened between you and Gary?" he smirked. Petey didn't mean for his jaw to drop, he was just amazed how he knew it was between him and Gary. But no, he could not let Edmund know the truth
"Nothing," Petey replied smugly.
"Then may I ask why you were you sleeping near the gate, Petey?"
"Shut up! Don't you dare call me Petey! It's Pete to you!"
"Oh right, I forgot your boyfriend called you that." He laughed. Petey snarled as he jumped up and ran past him with a cold expression. Edward grimaced at his action and spun around, taking pursuit after the boy. Glancing over his shoulder, Petey tripped clumsily. Edward jumped on his back roughly and twisted his fingers in Petey's burgundy hair. Just the way Gary did when he kissed him.
"No! Edward! Stop, please!" Petey wailed. Still sitting on his back, he released Petey's hair. Frowning, he pulled back Petey's ear to his lips.
"Tell me tonight at twilight, near the gates, what happened to your lover," he empathized, "or I'll find you." It sounded more like a threat than a command. He swallowed as Edmund hoisted his self off of Petey and walked away. Petey wiped away his tears and ran off to class.
