Unfortunately Eliot's seat was right behind Ethan's while Benny's was practically on the other side of the room. Eliot groaned then sat down in his seat. The teacher wasn't in the classroom yet so Eliot leaned forward to talk to Ethan.
"Look I don't know what Jesse has planed, but you're my brother. I care about you and..." Eliot stared but Ethan grabbed one of Eliot's hand and squeezed hard. Eliot bit his lip to keep from screaming, he was certain that his hand would brake if Ethan kept squeezing. Thankfully Ethan let him go. Eliot cradled his hand to his chest.
"That's an insult to my intelligence Eliot. You don't care about me. You never have. Right now you either want to kill me or 'cure' me." Ethan said with air quotes on cure. "Now if you want to live leave me alone." Ethan then turned around just as the teacher walks in. Eliot spent the rest of class watching Ethan. The rest of the class including the teacher didn't seem to notice a change in Ethan. When class was over Ethan quickly got up and walked out of the classroom. Eliot hurried to follow his brother, leaving Benny behind him. Erica was waiting for Ethan in the hallway.
"Eliot, what are you doing?" Benny asked when he caught up to him. Eliot kept looking at Ethan and Erica. Just then Sam and Jesse walked up to Ethan and Erica. The four started to walk down the hallway, then around the corner.
"I'm really worried about him." Eliot muttered.
"What happened?" Benny asked.
"Ethan almost broke my hand and he threatened me!" Eliot said.
"We should probably get to class. I'm sure everything will be fine. Come on." Benny said as he began to walk down the hall.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^At Lunch^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"What happened?" Sarah asked in disbelief.
"Ethan almost broke Eliot's hand." Benny said.
"He also threatened me." Eliot said.
"What happened with Erica?" Benny asked.
"I didn't get to talk to her. Every time I tried to talk to Erica, she would completely avoid me." Sarah said as she picked at her lunch.
"So what's the plan?" Eliot asked.
"I don't know. I doubt Ethan and Erica will listen to anything we say." Sarah said with a frown.
"I might be able to handle Ethan, I mean he has to come home sometime." Eliot said.
"Did Ethan not come home last night?" Sarah asked. Eliot shook his head.
"Ethan gave the excuse that he was at Erica's." Eliot said with a sigh. "Did you change this much after you were bit?"
"Not really." Sarah said.
"What am I gonna tell my parent?" Eliot groaned.
"Why do you have to tell them?" Benny asked.
"Oh ya! That will go over so well! What do I just wait until Ethan drinks or worse kills them!? Oh God Jane!" Eliot practically slammed his head on the table.
"So you care about everyone but Ethan? What a surprise." Sarah said sarcastically. Eliot looked at Sarah through his hair.
"What are you talking about?" Eliot asked in a tired voice.
"Wow. You are suck a narcissist." Sarah said as she crossed her arms.
"Am not!" Eliot said as he straightened up fully.
"Yes, you are!" Sarah said. "If you weren't you would know exactly what I'm talking about."
"Sarah, why don't you just tell me?" Benny asked.
"Neither of you remember?" Sarah asked. Benny and Eliot shook their heads. "You have absolutely no idea why Ethan would hate you as must as he does?" Benny and Eliot shook their heads again.
"7th grade? Creative Writing Class?" Sarah asked. "The first assignment was to write in a journal. You stole Ethan's real journal thinking it was the one for class."
"Fuck! I completely forgot about that." Eliot groaned.
"What? What happened?" Benny asked.
"That's when I found out Ethan was gay." Eliot said.
"Then you spread it around school." Benny finished.
"Which led to Ethan getting bullied practically everyday. Which also led him to hate you." Sarah said.
"I was a stupid kid." Eliot said trying to defend himself.
"Doesn't matter, cause now Ethan wants to kill you." Sarah said. Eliot groaned and once again laid his head on the table.
