This particular one is rated PG-13 for mild violence and the ridiculous names Kendall uses
High school was not on the list of his favorite activities. Ironically everything involving high school was on said list: his friends, his boyfriend, hockey, choir. He loved all those things but he hated the actual concept. Not only was getting up at 7 ungodly for a teenager but the target age of high school was not one of intelligence and understanding. There were a lot of ass holes who just didn't care who they hurt or who their words affected. Usually this would just be another annoyance to add to his list of unpleasant things but that was before this problem got way too personal. He would never forget the day he walked into school to his boyfriend being harassed and beat up while everyone stood around and watched. That's why Kendall Knight hated high school.
It was a typical day, nothing out of the ordinary as he arrived at school. He rubbed his freezing trembling hands together as he entered the school, walking through the crowded halls, straight towards his and James' shared locker. He hadn't seen the other boy since the previous night and he already missed him tragically. But that wasn't nearly as tragic as what he saw when he got there...
He shoved his way through the crowd of twenty and counting students to the center where one of the school's biggest, stupidest football player and bully was throwing his boyfriend against the locker. A deep anger rushed through his body at the sight and an overwhelming sense to protect James took over his rational thinking.
"Hey dickface!" he called bravely, throwing down his backpack and walking up to the bully who was easily twice his size. "Cut it out."
"What is it Knight? Here to protect your boyfriend?"
The pair had decided to keep their relationship on the down-low until they were out of high school so they didn't have to deal with shit like this just for loving who they wanted to. This comment was an offhanded one and Kendall knew this douche didn't actually know about his and James' relationship but he couldn't help it when he confidently nodded. "Yeah, I am. Got a problem with that, asswipe?"
The crowd around them gasped at this proclamation. This was just the distraction the meat-head needed to punch him square in the jaw right before a teacher came out to break it up. But before the crowd dispersed completely, Kendall did not hesitate to walk over to where James was standing in awe and proudly take his hand in his own.
"You okay babe?" he asked, worry eying in his sweet green eyes.
"Yeah," James replied slightly breathless, still in shock and awe from the events that had just transpired. "I'm not the one who got my ass kicked."
Kendall just laughed and wore a giant smile as he replied, "I'd get my ass kicked for you any day."
