It was Monday morning and time for school as Baljeet was getting ready for school he was a little worried. He hadn't seen, or heard from Buford all weekend he thought for sure that he would have gotten a call or visit from him since he just kissed him. While he was eating his breakfast he checked his phone to see if he had any calls. Unfortunately for him there were no voicemails or texts, but he did see a message from his phone to Buford asking him to come over Friday. But this was weird, Baljeet didn't remember messaging Buford but he really didn't remember anything that happened that day other than going to school and Russell….. ; His thinking was halted with the realization that he had to get a move on. He grabbed an apple and a bottle of water out the fridge grabbed his book bag and headed out the front door ready for another morning rendezvous with Buford. When he stepped outside however Buford wasn't there "Well maybe he had football practice the homecoming was coming up in a week" Baljeet thought to himself. All during his morning classes Russell seemed to ignore him which was a first since they sit right next to each other, and they are always talking about something. Lunch was no exception usually they both go to the library together, but this time he went alone. Baljeet started to wonder about what happened Friday did he do or say something wrong to Russell. "Dang it if I could just remember what happened" Baljeet said hitting his head with his hand, he stopped and looked realizing that he caught the attention of the librarian's and the other student's. The bell rang and he breathed a sigh of relief he was happy to get out of that situation, and on to the next situation facing Buford. He made it to the locker room early as usual; he went to his locker and changed into his uniform then made his way into the gym room to wait for Buford. A few minutes later Buford came in, but he came in talking with Russell, "wait wait wait hold up don't they hate each other or something I mean it would be nice if they did became friends so we could all hang out, but that would be impossible" Baljeet thought to himself. Baljeet just shrugged his shoulders and started walking towards him, Russell looked up and saw him coming, and then he whispered something in Buford's ear and they starting walking the other way. Baljeet quickly took offense to this and ran forward to grab Buford's arm just to be pushed to the ground, thoroughly pissing Baljeet off. He stood up and charged at Buford, "What the heck Buford if that was meant to be funny it wasn't" Baljeet said ramming into Buford's arm pushing him into Russell. Buford spun around and grabbed Baljeet by his collar and lifted him up with his left hand and with his right he balled up his fist; Baljeet was stunned at this he couldn't speak, or move. Buford then dropped Baljeet on the floor and spoke "if you ever touch me again with your filthy hands I WILL KILL YOU", Baljeet just sat there while Buford walked off and the other classmates laughed at him, but Russell with a smile on his face stood, helped Baljeet up and brought his ear close to his mouth and started to whisper. "You truly are clueless I'll fill you in since you there's nothing you can do about it, meet me by my locker after school and I'll tell you". As Russell walked off the gym teacher came in to start the activities.

Baljeet couldn't focus on anything; he had never been so afraid of Buford before, was he angry because of that kiss or was it something else. He wasn't sure, but he knew that for now it was best to steer clear of Buford, he looked over at Russell who was staring back at him smiling, unknowingly Baljeet was falling deeper into his scheme because at that moment Russell was devising a plan. With each second they locked eyes; Russell was planning a way to break him, they broke contact when the teacher called Russell to answer a question. If only he could remember what happened Friday, maybe that's what Russell wanted to tell him. The final bell rang and the student's filed out of the class, everyone except Baljeet and Russell; Baljeet walked over to Russell's desk and spoke. "I'm going to grab my things from my locker, and I'll meet you at yours", Russell smiled and waved goodbye. As he walked to his locker he was preparing himself for what he was about to hear, he grabbed his book bag put his books and when he closed his locker he jumped back because Irving was standing there. Irving is 5ft 11in; he has red hair with a clipper cut hairstyle, he has a medium build and wears contacts instead of glasses. Though his looks may have changed he's still the same nerd on the inside, he is president of the computer club and leader of the sci-fi core (which has about 3 members). And he still is on the outs with Phineas and the gang, but lately his focus has been on Baljeet. "I don't have time for you today Irving", Baljeet said walking away from him, Irving hesitated he had something on his mind but he didn't have the courage to express it. He closed his eyes took a deep breath and spoke "Baljeet I was wondering if you..." he opened his eyes to discover that Baljeet was gone he cursed to himself under his breath as he walked towards the front door. Baljeet hated talking to Irving he was a creep just popping out of nowhere, and whenever they would start a conversation he wouldn't shut up so he tried to avoid him altogether. He was right around the corner from Russell's locker, Baljeet stopped to take a deep breath he was a little worried at first but after a few deep breaths he was started to feel better. He walked around the corner with a smile, but that quickly changed to a look of terror. Baljeet stood there as Buford had Russell pressed against the locker in a deeply passionate embrace. Tears formed in Baljeet eyes as he backed away slowly he then turned and ran as he thought he heard his name being called but he refused to stop he stopped to take a breath when he made it outside the school then he kept on running.

In the next chapter I plan to show things from Buford's vantage point
