…

Benny got out of class, aggravated that he let Rory get to him like that.

He didn't care about Ethan or whatever he did; why would he? Ethan meant nothing to him.

Nothing.

As he turned a corner in the hallway, he stopped, a low aggravated growl ripping from his chest.

"What the fuck is going on here!" he cried, seeing one of his team mates and Ethan in the midst of a fight; the jock stopped and looked at Benny with a sick grin.

"This nerd was in my way."

"Please," he said, pushing the guy away, "If anyone is going to beat up this nerd it's gonna be me." Throwing down his bag and fisting his hands in Ethan's shirt, he pushed him against the lockers. "Come on E, I know you can fight back."

"I told you not to call me that!" Ethan cried, thrashing against his old friend. The two collided on the ground, Ethan on top of Benny. "I fucking hate you!"

"I hate you more!" The two fought, Benny pulling at Ethan's hair so he could get leverage on the smaller teen.

Ethan grimaced and gripped Benny's shirt, hearing the fabric tear under his hands. Ethan scrambled to his feet before Benny did the same. They stared daggers at each other before Benny launched himself towards Ethan. Ethan grabbed him as he met him and gripped his shirt, keeping him at arms length away from him. Benny brought a fist up and punched Ethan in the jaw, making the other boy let go of him as he staggered back, colliding with the lockers behind him. Benny stood there, looking pleased with himself as Ethan rubbed his now sore and beginning to bruise jaw. Squaring back his shoulders, he spit a bloodly lougie into his ex-best friend's face.

"I fucking hate you."

"Weir! Morgan! My office, now!"

…

Benny slouched in his seat as the principal glared at both him and Ethan.

"Gentlemen, care to explain about what happened out there?" Ethan looked at Benny in distaste, his eyes roaming over the stretched out shirt the exposed his tan shoulder, blackened eye and tense jaw before looking back at the principal.

"Mr. Weir here started it sir."

"I did not!" Benny cried, turning his harsh stare on Ethan, taking in the messed up hair, flushed face, split lip and the large bruise that was spreading over his lower jaw.

"You should've just left me alone with that jerk friend of yours."

"He's not my friend he's my teammate!"

"Same difference! What's it matter which of you beats me up?" Benny narrowed his eyes at Ethan, who returned the look.

"Boys!" The two looked away from each other to look at the man in front of them. "You two obviously have some issues to work out, so instead of giving you both detention, you will be required to meet with the school's psychiatrist three times a week for the next month. That's four weeks with three visits for a total of 12. One visit a month needs to be done together. Do you understand me?"

"And if we don't…?" Benny asked, making the principal shake his head.

"No more basketball and no more science club. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Now get to class. You will receive a notice when it is time for you to go meet with the psychiatrist. Have a nice day gentlemen." The two grumbled a reply as they left the office. Ethan turned to Benny and spoke quietly.

"Why did you do this?" Benny was silent as he walked to his locker. "I'm talking to you Weir!" Benny groaned and slammed his fist into his locker before whirling to face Ethan.

"If anyone is going to kick your obnoxious nerdy ass, it's going to be me and me alone."

"And why is that?" Benny shoved Ethan into a locker and got right up in his face.

"Because no one is allowed to hate you more than me." With one last shove, Benny left, leaving a confused Ethan behind.

"What the fuck was that!" he called out to Benny, who just flipped him off without bothering to turn around. Ethan watched him go before groaning to himself.

"Hey. What was that about?" He turned to see Lucas looking at him, eyes concerned before he let out a low whistle. "Please tell me he looks worse."

"I think it was about even actually."

"Eh, you win some you lose some. Wanna ditch the rest of the day?"

"I would, but I'm already practically on probation from the principal."

"Ooh. Don't wanna risk full on suspension do you?"

"Not really. He threatened me with the science club."

"Damn."

"Yeah. And as this year's captain, I can't get suspended."

"We'd miss you if you did." Ethan laughed a bit until he saw Lucas's smile fall.

"What is it?"

"He keeps staring at you." Ethan turned his head a bit to see Benny standing at the completely other end of the hall, his dark green eyes settled on him. Ethan shook off the feeling of unease that brought him and turned back to Lucas.

"He's just pissed that I actually fought back. Come on, let's go." Together, the two teens began to walk off, Lucas looking over his shoulder to connect eyes with Benny, who didn't look away.

"Leave him alone," he mouthed to the taller guy, making him shake his head just once.

"Not anytime soon." Lucas glared at Benny, who just smirked. "I'm not done with him yet."

…

"Duuuude," Rory said as he sat next to Ethan at lunch. "I heard about the fight. One hell of a first day huh?"

"You got that right," he muttered, closing his eyes. For some reason, he couldn't get the way Benny had stared at him out of his head. "That jerk totally started it though."

"I bet he did. He usually does." Ethan smiled tiredly at Rory before grimacing. "What?"

"I have a meeting this afternoon with the stupid psychiatrist," he grumbled, placing his chin on the table.

"Why?"

"That's my punishment. I have to do it for a whole fucking month! And even have to visit with him sometimes too. I think today is probably one of those days."

"Better than the alternative," Lucas said, coming to sit next to him. "Besides, it'll be over before you know it."

"Yeah right. And I'll sprout fairy wings and fly away from this hell hole."

"Is that a gay joke?" Rory kidded, his grin stretching over his lips.

"I'm bi, not gay you asshole," Ethan said, shoving him playfully, finally grinning after the day he's had. Lucas laughed at them, making Ethan shake his head. "You know why he gave me and douchebag over there psychiatry sessions?"

"Why?"

"Because we have issues to work out," Ethan said, rolling his eyes. "How stupid is that?" He watched the two of them exchange looks before sighing. "What? You can't –"

"We do though. You and him really need to work out all this…"

"It's almost like…sexual tension?"

"Yeah, sexual tension is the best way to describe it I think."

"WHAT?!" Ethan practically screamed at his friends, getting many curious looks from others in the cafeteria. "You two couldn't be more wrong. I hate him." They just shrugged at him, making him seethe in frustration. "I'll see you two later." As he stormed out of the cafeteria, Lucas turned to look at Benny, who met him with hostile eyes before getting up and leaving too.

"You know…"

"Don't start Rory."

"I'm just saying-"

"No. We're not getting into that."

"It would probably dispute some of his Benny hatred though."

"I don't care. I'm not doing that. Not to him."

"Why not?"

"It'd be pointless on my end."

"You never know."

…

So yeah... lots going on, and it's still only the first day of Senior Year!

I'm gonna try to get the ball really rolling next chapter, but no promises.

Thanks for reading and hope ya'll liked it!
