(Will's POV)
Will Solace didn't want them to know. He didn't picture it happening. If he ever did, it was always a short admission, a curt nod from the others (he couldn't call them his friends because they didn't really recognize him-just pretty much ignored.)
He had just come out of the closet, and he had expected rainbows and unicorns, or at least acceptance but instead, darkness and dread had taken place. The few 'nicer' ones said that that he being-he couldn't bear to say it- gay-didn't change anything, they still love him, all that mushy crap.
But the normal ones, they ignored him before. But now- now they seemed to go out of their way just to pick a fight with Will. He had walked to his bus stop one day, hands shoved in damp pockets, head down low.
He blinked tears out of his eyes-had he been crying? He didn't realize. Hot tears were rolling down his cheeks at this point, feeling as if they were acid, burning, scorching everything in their path. He quickly wiped them with his sleeves and jerked his head up.
By that time, the worst in front of him. Octavian and his friends-no, followers. It seemed like that, anyway. The pale boy said, "Well, look who's threatened to show up- the faggot." He said. Will wasn't scared of the boy. He curled his hands into fists. "I-I am not scar-red of you, Octavian." "First names, is it?" He smirked. "Well, Will, you may not be scared of me, but you are definitely scared of my fellow buddies."
As if on cue, which he was, a big burly dude came and lifted Will by his sweatshirt. At that point the bus had pulled up on the curb. Octavian's giant-like friend dropped Will to the ground, and Will got up shakily and climbed the bus, step by step.
The bus driver didn't notice, eyes glazed over as usual. He took an empty seat and rested his head against the window, and gazed outside the sky, the bus bumping every now and then.
Didya like it? I have the next 6 chapter or so to posts and I have the next 4 days off of school! Yay!
SO much angst to come...
