OTP High
'Sometimes before it gets better the darkness gets bigger, the person you'd take a bullet for…' Fall Out Boy was blasting through my earbuds when I walked in to school.
A few people waved at me or just smiled. I always waved or smiled back. I opened the big white doors that lead to the hallway where most of the lockers are and went straight to mine. I turned at the black little wheel until my locker opened.
I put a few books in and took the ones I needed out. It's so quiet yet so loud without my music, I thought as I walked through the hallway looking for one of my friends or my best friend Phil.
I spotted Percy leaning against his locker whilst talking to his boyfriend, Nico. A lot of people say that Nico and I look alike, which is not true. We only dress the same.
As for the rest I have to admit that we kind of look alike. He has an olive skin and messy, curly, black hair while I have a rather pale skin and straight brown hair. His eyes were dark (almost fully black), mine were a light chocolate brown according to my mom. I couldn't see it.
But anyways I smiled and waved at them and kept on walking. I was looking for a familiar mop of black hair. I found Phil when he was just walking out of the school bathroom. His face instantly lit up when we locked eyes (so did mine).
" Hey, how are you?" he asked, walking next to me. "I'm good, how bout you ?"
" I'm awesome actually. This morning a kitten walked by me and I could just pet it !" Phil said with a childish grin spreading across his face.
"That must've been adorable. What colour was it ? " "It was orange and white and the cutest thing I've ever seen." Phil exclaimed.
"Too bad I'm allergic. I would've loved taking that cutie home." Phil said, pouting his lip.
"Did you at least take a picture ?" I asked. "Duh, of course !" Phil almost yelled, throwing his hands in the air. He pulled out his phone.
He still had the same background, a picture of the two of us when we went to our first convention last year. We didn't cosplay but we were wearing a lot of merchandise. You could definitely see we belonged there.
That was one of the best days of my life. Phil unlocked his phone and showed me the pictures. "You were right. That is one of the cutest things ever."
"I told you !". We walked further down the hall and saw Mark and Jack talking.
They stood out in school pretty easily with their colorful hair. Mark changed his hair every few weeks and Jack's just stayed green. This time Mark's was red.
They were shamelessly flirting with each other.
"I wish that they would just get together already." I said as we walked by. "Yeah they'd be so cute together. They're both probably afraid to admit their feelings for each other."
" Yeah, you're probs right. Everyone can see how they feel about each other. Everyone except them. Anywho I ship it."
"Yeah me too, I mean who doesn't ?" Phil said.
When the ball rang we each went to our classes. I had History with Mr. Rogers. We all called him Steve though. He's married to Mr. Stark who teaches Mechanics.
It's cool to have such open-minded and modern teachers. Not a lot of school have those. We actually have a few gay couples at our school. Students and teachers.
You have the Winchesters. Sam and Dean Winchesters are married teachers. Sam teaches Algebra and Dean P.E and English.
You also have Piper and Annabeth. Both are a member of the student counsel. They came out last year.
Percy and Nico, who are the weirdest couple of the school. Punk Nico and golden boy Percy, I guess sometimes opposites do attract.
Then you have Harry and Draco, Haruhi and Tamaki (both exchange-students), PJ and Chris, Tyler and Troye and Mr. Esposito and Mr. Ryan.
That's about all of them. There could be two more couples if Jack and Mark got together if they finally spoke up about their feelings. And if I did.
If I would have the balls to tell Phil how I felt. Another gay couple that could show their rainbow to everyone. Maybe he would feel the same? That's not such a crazy thought, is it? Mine are interrupted by the bell. I look around in a daze for a few seconds before I start putting my stuff away.
I nod at Mr. Rogers and go to my next class.
Time goes ever so slow but it's finally lunch time. Me and Phil meet up in the hallways and walk to the cafeteria.
We sit down at an empty table with our lunch and start eating and talking.
Percy, Nico, PJ and Chris soon join us. And we fall into light conversation.
"Hey, did you guys hear ?" Chris suddenly says, rather loudly. PJ takes his hand and intertwines their fingers. Chris relaxes almost immediately.
"Hear what?" Percy asks. "Felix is going to try to set up Mark and Jack." He says.
"Finally, somebody's gonna do it. It's about time. They're pathetic without each other." Nico says.
"True, but how is he going to do that ?" I ask. " Dunno, he said he's and I quote 'sick and tired of the sexual tension hanging between the two of them, it's worse than finding the Winchester teachers in the supply closet feeling each other up."
The whole table laughed at that reference to an incident that had occurred more than once already.
"I hope they get together." Phil said.
"I mean, who doesn't?" I add.
The whole table smiles at that. They all got up and went their separate ways when the bell rang.
Except for Dan and Phil who had the same class.
"Hey, you wanna come over after school ? You know play some video games, watch a movie or something? My parents aren't home so yeah I don't want to be alone tbh." I ask, kind of nervous about the answer.
I always am when I ask stuff like this. "Hell yeah, we could watch some Buffy. Where are you gonna wait after school ? We have classes at the opposite ends of school." Phil asks not seeing the relief on Dan's face.
"Just wait by the bench." I say, knowing it's their little place.
They always sat there in the beginning of school because they were both too afraid to eat in the cafeteria.
"Okay, sounds good."
"Awesome." I answer when we walk into English.
So what did you guys think ? Please let me know if I should continue this or not...
