Bringing Daylight Back
Chapter 8
Sherlock was holding the hand…With his bare hand. John squealed and ran as fast as he could to his bed, and he hid under his covers.
Sherlock and John went downstairs to eat breakfast. John noticed Sherlock glaring at Molly across the table. She was waving at Sherlock and John, telling them to sit with her.
John glanced back at Sherlock and shrugged. He didn't mind sitting with Molly, after all, she was mysterious and polite. John started to walk over to talk to molly, when he felt a chill run down his spine. James Moriarty was staring at John with a wicked smile. It ultimately made John uncomfortable. John turned and walked a little faster to Molly, not wanting to speak to a creep named James Moriarty.
John reached Molly just when the dismissing bell rang, telling everybody that they have 15 min. to get ready and get to class. John gave Molly a sympathic smile.
John turned and was going back to go and get Sherlock, when he noticed Sarah. She was waiting for him by the door, as if she wanted him to walk her to class.
John really didn't want to pass up an opportunity like that and decided that Sherlock can get ready himself. John made his way over to Sarah. Sarah was wearing an Eton jacket and jeans, and John forgot about the school dress code. The rule was that on Wednesday's you could wear whatever you want, as long as it is respectful. John looked down to his cream jumper and jeans. He thought that he was respectful looking, but that didn't matter to him. Other people's opinion counts in his opinion.
Sarah looked at John and laughed. John gave her a confused look, and turned around to see if something was happening behind him.
Sarah then said "Come here John, you have spider on your forehead", and then she flicked it off, still grinning.
"Oh, thanks Sarah, no idea how that got there. So what class do you have? I have Biology today, and History tomorrow, that's how it goes on here right? One class a day, for two hours"? John had no idea that classes' would be that long, but he was overjoyed that there was a class per day, for five days.
"John, I totally forgot that I have cheer practice tonight! I won't be able to make it to our date tonight. I'm really sorry, maybe we could reschedule for this weekend"? Sarah looked at John with puppy eyes, how could John ever say no to those eyes?
"Of course, I actually got to meet the rugby team captain, Cason Finlan, he is pretty cool. Are his eyes always those ember green color? It's amazing"!
Sarah looked like she was taken aback, no, she looked pissed.
"Just don't spend too much time with him; I hear that he is a queer. I also hear that about your roommate, Sherlock". Sarah noticed the look of horror on John's face and quickly added "It's not like I don't have a problem with gay people, I just don't like it when people hit on people that I like".
Sarah added a wink, which with no surprise made John go scarlet, and walked off with her other friends.

When John got to his biology class, he saw Sherlock in the corner with James Moriarty, arguing about something. John quickly made his way across the large wooded room, dodging every desk and chair.
By the time he got there, James and Sherlock were staring intensely at John. James had a wicked grin on his face and Sherlock had on a emotionless mask. James looked John up and down, and then his smile dropped.
"Who was it who thought that they had a right to touch your forehead, even if it was to knock of a spider"? James said with a look of jealousy.
John opened his mouth, and closed it, He had no idea what to say in a situation like this, he also had no idea that he looked like a gaping fish.
"It was a friend of mine-"John was cut off by James speaking again.
"Was it Sarah Sawyer? The girl who you were going to go on a date with, but has cheer practice? Instead you look forward to meeting Cason Fin-"James had a look of anger, and turned and left.
John turned to Sherlock and pointed at James's back, indicating an explanation.
"What were you two arguing about"?
"You", Sherlock simply answered.
"Wait, ME? Why"? John was so confused right now.
"James likes you", Sherlock said shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
John looked at him like he was puzzled, and knit his eyebrows together to try and figure how his life has come to this.
"Yes. James Moriarty is a natural Genius like me. And no, I'm not gay, I'm asexual. Relationships are not my thing; sentiment is tedious and slows me down".
"I wasn't going to ask, but…Wait! Relationships are not tedious! And if they do anything, they motivate you. By the way, I have no problem with gay people. My sister is gay, but you 'The Great Sherlock Holmes' would know that. I shall inform you that I am easily liked, and will have a wonderful girlfriend by the end of the year". John beamed as if he were proud.
Sherlock then mumbled "Yeah, if you can manage to keep a girlfriend", Sherlock turned in his chair to sulk.
"Oi, I can perfectly keep a girlfriend", John exclaimed as he noticed the Biology professor walk in. He really didn't feel like getting into trouble with him, because he looked like he had a long day and it was still morning!
The Biology teacher introduced himself as Henry Knight, and for the students to call him Sir, since he was ex-military.

Class ended two long and tortuous hours later. John and Sherlock both walked out together, Sherlock asked John if he wanted to get a shake, but John turned him down, he had other plans.
John went straight to his dorm get dressed for his first rugby practice at Eton. He was so nervous; he had no idea what to expect from his new team. Although he had an Idea that they must be good, but he hasn't played rugby since his injury in his shoulder; the same injury that makes him remember about what happened 'that night' and how he shouldn't have lived.
But John didn't want to think like that. John has always been one of those people who has always found the good in people, and didn't judge the bad. That's why he had always had friends. He never had a problem at school. He always got good grades, had many friends, was athletic, and wasn't bad looking (quite the opposite).
John opened the door to his dorm-room, when he saw James Moriarty sitting in the chair in front of the cheep desk, with another wicked smile on his face.
