AN: Ok, I'm gonna try to make this chapter longer.

Cosmo walked to school. He didn't want to be tortured on the bus today.

Josh grinned when he saw Cosmo approaching. "Hey Turner."

His look said 'I know something you don't want anyone else to know, and I'm gonna tell them!'

"Lets get this over with," Cosmo said as he tensed up, prepared to be punched.

"I don't know what you mean! You think I, your friend, wait no, your Bestest friend, would hurt you? This really hurts that you can't trust me." Josh faked a hurt look.

Cosmo may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but believing this crock would be ridiculous. "Yeah. Whatever."

"What? Ok, so we hate eachother. With every fiber of our beings. But we can be friends, right?"

"no."

"Fine then. I guess I'm gonna have to tell the school your secret."

"Secret?"

Josh pulled the tape recorder out of his pants pocket. "You know Kevin, right? Oh, of course you do! You tried to rape him in detention!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Everyone knows what you did. Or at least, they will now!" The tape played the words Cosmo had said in detention.

"Oh my god." Cosmo said quietly.

"So you admit it! You really are a homo! ADMIT IT!"

"I'm not a homo!"

"We just got proof!"

The teenagers surrounded the two.

"I knew it!" Shouted Elmer.

"You know what? We don't want an AIDS spreading girly man going to our school." Josh leered.

"Yeah!" The kids chanted.

"But I don't have AIDS! And I'm not gay!" Cosmo wailed, desperate for someone to believe him. God, where were the teachers in this school?

"You're gonna give us all some crazy STD." Some random girl yelled out.

"I say we teach this woman a lesson." Josh yelled.

"Die homo, die. Die homo, die. Die homo, die!" The crowd chanted eerily.

Cosmo attempted to run away, but the crowd was coming in closer by the minute. Josh grabbed the back of his shirt and lifted him into the air. "You've had this coming, freak." He sneered.

Josh threw the defenseless Cosmo onto the concrete ground. He kicked him continuously in the stomach and head. Blood spilled from his nose and flesh. Other kids joined in the fight and beat him with fists, school books, and shoes. Kids in the crowd threw stones.

"Break it up!" The principal shouted over the roar of the crowd.

People ran in every direction. The principal grabbed the only two who didn't escape. Cosmo and Josh.

"You two." She growled.

"I swear, ma'am. It was Turner's fault. He jumped me. I tried to stop him. He was just mad because I'm straight and I turned him down to go to the football game." Josh pleaded.

"That's enough. You think I don't know anything? I've heard countless rumors of how you torment your peers, Josh." The principal turned to Cosmo. "But you must have had something to do with this too. Both of you will be suspended for the rest of the week."

"But I didn't do anything!" Cosmo wailed.

"No buts. Now go wash your face, Turner. Not another word. I'm calling your parents."

The principal walked away. When the sound of her heals diminished, Josh turned to Cosmo. "Come on."

He dragged Cosmo into the bathroom and pulled out a pocket knife. He shoved the blade under Cosmo's throat. "I've had enough of you, Turner. One more mistake, and." Josh grinned as he drew his finger under his own neck.

AN: Well, I tried to make it longer. What did y'all think? Gotta run. Bye.
