Chapter 9: Schooltime Secrets

TWs: Slurs, Swearing, Confrontation, Fighting

Freddie Pov:

It was now almost Christmas time, what should be the happiest time of the year, but for me it never was, with constantly being bullied and having an abusive dad.

Maybe this year will be different?

Things have been looking up for me for the past month or so. I wasn't being bullied as much, now its just the occasional snicker of "fag" by Jack and Callahan in class or in the hallways. My dad hasn't tried to find me, which is good, I still live with Will and Ranboo. I have a new friend in Punz, he hangs around with me, Tommy and Tubbo now.

The four of us are currently in maths with Mr Boo, learning about Pythagoras theorem.

About half way through the lesson there was a loud shout from the outside of the classroom.

Mr Boo instantly shot up from his desk, telling us stay where we are whilst he sees what is happening.

Of course we didn't listen.

Ranboo Pov:

I knew they were going to follow me to see what was happening so I didn't care too much, their children in the 21st century, they're interested in all possible gossip.

When I get to where I heard the shout from, I see Clay and George shouting at each other whilst at least 100 people, teachers and students, watch on to the scene.

"Stop making this so difficult, George!" Clay shouted.

"What I am making difficult Clay?" George questioned, confused as to why Clay started to shout at him in the first place, especially in the middle of the school.

"I know your secret" Clay answered, which just made George even more confused but nervous at the same time, I could tell.

I wonder what he is nervous about?

Clay started to get close to George, with a tint of anger in his eyes. That was my cue to step in surely.

Walking up to the two I said "What ever you two are doing, maybe now isn't the best time" I say to the two of them, pointing to all the students and teachers that were in the surrounding area.

"No, Ranboo, now is the perfect time to do this" Dream snarled with anger turning his head towards me.

"Whatever is going on with you right now, you are not thinking straight" I responded, getting annoyed at Clay.

"I don't care" Clay answered pushing me out of the way with quite a bit of force.

That's it. I push him back. Which now that I think about it, probably wasn't a smart decision, cause now there's a fist in my face and a second later, I'm unconsious on the ground.

Wilbur Pov:

There was a round of gasps and shocked faces as Ranboo fell to the ground unconsious. I quickly rush over to him to set him against a wall so he isn't fully on the cold, hard floor.

Clay and George were now continuing their argument. Well more like Clay arguing and George standing there worried and confused at what was going through the mind of Clay at the moment.

George Pov:

Clay knows my secret? What secret?.

Oh, is it that secret, no, it can't be, surely not and he just punched Ranboo. Why would he punch Ranboo?

"Lets get back to this then shall we?" Clay said, surprisingly calm, considering he just knocked out one of his friends.

"What shall we get back -" I started before being interrupted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked, starting to get close to me again but no one stepping in this time after seeing what happened to Ranboo.

"Tell you what?" I questioned, still nervous that he was going to say it in front of the entire school, the students knew I was gay but not that there was a certain teacher that I had taken a massive liking too.

"That you like me" Clay answered, barely showing emotion in his voice apart from a tint of anger.

Gasps came from the crowd around, my face going red in embarrassment and anger.

"Why the fuck would you say that in front of everyone?" I shouted, pushing back Clay away from me and knocking him to the ground but before I could do anything else, Phil grabbed me, holding me back.

"Hey, Hey, mate, stop" Phil said as I tried to squirm out of his grasp.

"Teachers can you take the kids back to their classes and Will can you take Ranboo to the nurse to make sure he isn't seriously hurt" as soon as Phil finished, Will replied with a nod and started to carry Ranboo to the nurse and the students started to leave.

Phil finally let go of me.

"You two follow me to my office" Phil demanded, standing in the middle of the two of us to make sure I don't try to hurt Clay.

We were in the office, me and clay sitting in separate chairs next to each other, sitting across from Phil who was sitting with his arms cross, clearly pissed at us.

"I'm so sorry, I-" I started to apologise but was interrupted by Phil.

"You two are so lucky that we are friends cause otherwise I would probably get you two put in jail or something" Phil scolded, he is terrifying when angry.

"So what are you going to do with us?" Clay asked, his voice making him sound scared or nervous.

"Well both of you are suspended without pay for two weeks and before you two can come back you need to sort out what is going on between you guys, cause if you guys interrupt the entire school again with an argument, I will not hesitate to fire the both of you, you got it?" Phil loudly scolded, me and Clay slowly nodding our heads, terrified at what could happen.

"Good" Phil said with a creepy smile.

Ranboo Pov:

I hear voices, but I cant see anything. After a few minutes I open my eyes to see a bright, white walled room and two people who I know as Niki and Will talking to each other about something. Will is holding a bag of ice in his hand, probably for me. I have a pounding headache, I wonder what happened?

"Oh good, you're awake" Niki says as she spots me slowly sitting up on the nurse's table.

"What happened to me?" I asked confused, I really couldn't remember.

"You got punched by Clay" Will answered, handing me the bag of ice to put on my head.

"Why did he punch me?" I wondered out loud, Will just answering with a shrug and the words "He was just angry". I nod in response.

"Well, I think we should get you home" Will said.

"Why?, I'm fine" I say, even though I'm not.

"You look like you could pass out any minute, you have a black eye and a massive headache, you are not staying for the rest of the day" Niki said, I just nod in response getting off the table/bed with the help of Will and Niki as my legs were shaking.

As soon as we got home, I instantly passed out on the couch.

"God teaching is hard!"

The End of Chapter 9.

Note: Sorry for the wait, the next chapter will probably be the last for this story.
