Chapter 2: Our Little Love
Arthur actually couldn't take it serious. He was in a relationship, with Francis. How did this happen again? It only happened a few hours ago, and so fast as well. It was a foolish decision. Not like he was going to take it serious anyway… It started out pretty simple. They didn't show anything to the class or fellow students. They only sometimes held hands in class or while walking. Only Matthew knew of it as a good friend. They knew he could be trusted.
Break just started and as usual, the trio headed for the second floor in the school building. Arthur was "special" and had the privilege to stay on the second floor in the break to stay away from all of the noise in the cafeteria. Only a few people are let on the second floor. Besides the trio, there were 2 others that stayed on the second floor to seek peace. They were called Antonio, a person with an obsession over tomato's for some weird reason, and Romano, his best friend. They were usually quiet and talked to each other a lot.
They sat down at the table and Arthur took out his agenda. Homework, homework… Hm, what's this? Arthur looked at the note he found inside and remembered where it came from. 'Guys. I've been thinking…' Arthur began as he drew the attention of his friends, '…to go to this.' Arthur held up his note, about an anime and manga convention. 'What do you think?' Francis smiled and gently took the note from Arthur's hand so he and Matthew could read it. The convention would be soon, and the place they had to be was not far away.
'Any idea how much it will cost?' Francis asked Arthur gently, slightly irritated in Arthur's eyes, but he kept calm. 'I don't know, but I could look it up.' 'That would be great.' Matthew's voice muffled through his sandwich which was, as usually, something with maple syrup. He loved the stuff.
A few minutes passed, everyone just talking and such, but Arthur stayed quiet, praying no further on the subject, waiting for the bell to ring through the school halls.
The bell rang, and Arthur packed his things, waited for his friends, and headed to the 4th period. It was given in a computer room. Perfect. Arthur thought. He walked to a computer and sat down and listened to the instructions which were given. Another essay to finish. The teacher sent them to work, but Arthur had other intentions. He quickly searched the internet for more information for the convention and when satisfied, he called his friends and showed them that the price for getting in was low.
'Good, but how are we supposed to get there in the first place?' Matthew asked them both. Francis had a pretty good idea. 'You can both stay at my place? Like, the day before the convention you are at my place, you sleep and the next day we go, sleep again, and the next day you'll leave?' Smartass. 'I think my parents are okay with it as well. We can sleep in the attic.'
It sounded like a wonderful idea to Arthur. 'Okay then, who's going provide the tickets?' 'I'll do that as well. As long as you all pay my parents back it'll be alright.' Francis smiled to his friends. The bell rang, and everyone took they're things for the next period. Arthur felt great because he actually did something right.
He wasn't really loved in his class. Mostly people just thought he was weird. He was always drawing or talking about various anime's. Nobody was really interested in him, but he had Matthew and Francis luckily. Most people just ignored him, and he felt lonely a lot. Especially at home. He didn't have siblings or any friends living in his town. He lived quite far from his school as well. His neighborhood didn't have any children as well, so he was practically all alone. He hated it where he lived. And just wanted to go away. Far away from the place. To his friends. A dream, that will never come true, he thought
A little chapter yes, but I'm happy with it. Chapter 3 will be up soon as well. Please review~
