HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
Chapter 6
Thoughts about Goku filled Gono's mind the whole day. It was troubling for Gono, and he decided that his new friend must have some horrible past or something. But how could he, when he makes comments about such trivial things? He gave him a brownie "because I like your eyes. They're really green". he repeated the words in his head. I wonder.. why am I so intrigued by him? Do I really think I'll be able to find someone who has at least a past like mine? Could he be that someone? Gono shook his head to try to shake his thoughts, as if it would do anything other than give him a headache Come on, Gono, people might notice that your silence. Well… you're usually quiet anyway so there's nothing weird about being too quiet Another part of him screamed out loud. But Aiel is right next to me and I might fail to notice her if she tries saying anything. Get it out of your system Gono!
The bell finally rang after a long hour of English, and Gono was already sleeping with his eyes open. Aiel had nudged him a couple of times but he was out like he was hit in the head with a stone. Both these times Gojyo chuckled out quite loudly to himself and earned a stern look each from the teacher. When class was finally over he doubled over to where Gono lay dozing and started shaking the chair violently. He could have trashed the place easily with the chair if Gono wasn't there making it seem like the heaviest object in the whole world and if Aiel wasn't watching. The green-eyed man finally woke up and immediately stood up from the chair. "Well good morning, Gono.. where's your assignment?" Gono looked at Aiel, his eyes wide with shock as he tried to remember where he placed his homework. An awkward silence filled the air as Gono thought hard and soon after, Gojyo burst out laughing like crazy, "There is NO homework, man! Damn, what kind of sleep did you get?" Aiel took his arm and dragged him out of the classroom, with Gojyo trailing behind. "Well, this is where we part ways and," she looked back at the redhead, "don't leave this guy alone.. he's gonna get lost. I'm sure of it!" She patted the dazed Gono on the back and walked towards a group of girls. Gojyo was left with a blushing Gono.
"Well.. that was a lot of physical contact, wasn't it?" he only received a grunt from his friend who walked straight to the next class. There they saw a sullen blonde sitting alone and listening to something on his mp3 player. "Wassup, Koryu!" Gojyo spoke loudly enough that the blonde actually turned around, gave him a cold stare and said, "Fuck off while you're still breathing!" The redhead was a little thrown back at his statement. What happened to HIM? He's back to having that murderous mood now.
On the other side of the internal conflicts, Koryu was busy reprimanding himself about what he just said to Gojyo. And I thought you said you were going to be friends with that guy? Why did you have to speak when you're all pissed at the world? Now he's gonna think you're one of those assholes.. Koryu seemed to stare into the void in the back of his head until something snapped inside him. Quickly, he turned around and called out to the redhead. "Gojyo!" He looked at the blonde in pure surprise. "Sorry. Im just.. " Gojyo's face wrinkled into a smile. "Yeah, I know. Youre just angry at the world right now. Its okay. I understand you." Koryu could do nothing but force himself to smile at him. God, how could I have been so mean to him! He tries to understand me and I think he just did that successfully. When has someone ever tried to be my friend even after all the rude shit I say and do to them? He turned back to staring at the wall, but now with a little less glint in his eyes and a much, much better mood.
Oh shit! The initiation! Koryu immediately told his driver to drive him back to school. He had plans to be initiated into a group, those guys smoking in the bathroom. Turned out they were recruiting people to hang out with, and apparently Koryu was whom they were looking for. Now that he realized he had found a better friend in the redhead, he was having second thoughts. Why should I join them now? Theyre just mindless idiots who drink and smoke like crazy. I do that too but at least I have a brain.
Koryu almost jumped out of the car in front of the school gym. There were the five men waiting for him. And from the looks on their faces, Koryu judged that he was not going to be initiated that day.
