Well I got a review for chapter 8 from an anon. reviewer by the name of Abja and she (or he maybe I'm not sure) was a bit confused about the classes and I thought maybe some of you were too so I'm just going to briefly explain that. Alright I only know how my school works so this is based only off that. In my school freshman can't take AP courses because AP classes there's a test at the end of the year and if you pass it you get college credit. So freshman only take advanced/honors class. Basically it's like any ordinary class but it goes at a faster pace and it's slightly harder (more homework and what not). At my school calculus AB is like normal calculus and calculus BC is like AP (there are probably maybe 25 kids at my school taking it right now.) At my school there are certain classes where it's just seniors (English classes are split by years i.e. English I, II, III, IV) or whatever and in some classes they're mixed with different years (Biology, Geometry, Algebra, P.E) like I only have two classes where it's only freshman (Adv. English I and AVID) every other class I have upper class men. It's a little hard to explain I guess…so maybe I should just shut up now. Both Remus and Sirius are in their junior years.
A/N: Well I know it's been a really long time, but life gets in the way of fanfiction so it's not my fault. And I apologize for this chapter, it's not very long but trust me next chapter will not only be longer but it'll actually go somewhere!
Dedication: This chapter is for anyone that's ever been confused about their orientation because I know that's a really hard place to be, especially when you know people around you might not accept you or might even abandon you for who you are.
"I have a confession to make..." I look into those red swollen eyes, ready to confess my most intimate secret to him. I was ready to tell him everything, but some force beyond my control decided that the time wasn't right because before I could mutter another word I heard the lock of the front door click and I watched as the door knob turned slowly. In shock I sprung from my unstable friend and look around the room frantically. He turns as well, realization hitting him. He sits down and starts rummaging through papers, while I run out of the room into the kitchen and start pacing, trying to clear my head. When I hear a creak signaling that the door has opened I walk out as calmly as I could manage at the moment.
"Hey Regulus…" I mutter, my poker face in place, my voice as steady as ever. My younger brother looks to Remus sitting on the floor still shuffling through papers and back at me.
"Hey…" He nods in my general direction, drops his things on the couch and looks around the house. "Mom and dad home yet?"
"Nah." I settle down next to Remus again.
"Ok then, I'm out. Don't wait up for me, if mom or dad ask where I'm at tell them I'm with Reggie." With those final words Regulus exits the house once again, and probably won't be back until the next day early in the morning.
I audibly sigh and look to the still form in front of me. He has his head down, hair a complete mess. A few seconds pass in silence before he looks up, he face expressing no real emotion. He flips his hair once before moving to get up. I look curiously at him and stand up as well.
"I think I should go." He says gathering his things. I panic.
"What, no! Why?" Remus zips his backpack shut and pulls it over his shoulder. He shrugs at my question not meeting my eyes.
"It's getting kind of late." I glance at the clock behind me. It reads 5:13.
"Do you want me to walk you?" I ask almost desperately, but he shakes his head.
"No, that's alright." He's already at the door, hand on the knob. "I'm a big boy, I won't get lost." And then, he's gone. I fall to the floor again, anger over powering me. I slam my fist down with more force than I thought possible, and scream. My only chance to tell him and I just let it go, I let it slip and there probably won't be another opportunity.
For a long time all I could do was lay there and think, think about all I could have said, all I could have done to stop him, to tell him, everything I should have done…but didn't.
What happened a few minutes ago will never in my life be repeated again, I have no idea what came over me, but one thing is for sure, I will no longer associate with Sirius Black. He's too unstable, too much of a trouble maker, too trusting, too charming, too good looking, too perfect and I can't be around that…
A/N: right so that was supper short I know. But chapter 10 is already in progress should be up soon. (I know I say that a lot and then it doesn't come true) so yeah, I'll try and make time in my very busy life (I never thought I'd ever say that in a million years). Hope you liked it and don't forget to review:
