Luc stood to his feet, and started to walk out of his seat, before he was cut of by a girl on his bus, Hailey. Hailey was the most annoying, and want to be in the world. Everyone can tell that she was madly in love with CJ. She was a tall and very pale girl. She had long red hair, and thought she was the most popular girl ever. It was the quite opposite though. Hailey gave Luc a dirty look.

“Dirty freak.” She said.

“Excuse me?” Luc said.

“You think I’m going to give you sympathy cause of what happened to you? You don’t deserve it. You probably killed him to get sympathy.” She said.

“Fuck you, you fucking little whore. No one likes you. You’re a waste of life!” Luc said.

“I’m not the freak.” She said, before walking off the bus.

Everyone one the bus looked at Luc, who had fire in his eyes. Luc quickly got off the bus, and felt everyone’s eyes on him. No one said a word as they saw Luc get off the bus. The awkward silence broke quick, as he heard everyone break into whispers, and he knew what they were whispering about. Luc looked around at all the people around him, looking at him, whispering about him. He felt someone grab him, and start to push him through the crowd. He looked, and saw it was his best friend Genna. She mouthed hi to Luc, and they began to walk as fast as they could. Everyone always said that Genna looked exactly like Rosario Dawson, which she does. Once the two found their way into the school, Genna and Luc went to find their group, which consists of Rachel, Greg’s girlfriend, Jenson, Greg’s best friend, and Nina, Jenson’s girlfriend. Luc was the youngest of them all. Genna was a sophomore, Rachel a junior, Jenson and Nina were both seniors. Luc became a part of the group through Genna. He met her a couple of weeks after the split from CJ.

“I’ll meet you their, I have to pee.” Luc said.

Luc walked into the bathroom, and walked to the mirror. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. Luc ran the sink water, and bent down to wash his face. The cold water against his skin made him cool off a bit. When Luc got back up, he saw Richard in the mirror behind him. Luc quickly turned around, and looked at Richard.

“Hi.” Richard said.

“What do you want?” Luc asked.

“I want to tell you that I’m sorry for what happened.” He said.

“Thanks…” Luc said.

“If their was anything I could do…” Richard said, walking closer to Luc.

“Just ask.” He purred into Luc’s ear.

“Please get away.” Luc said.

“Why?” Richard asked, grabbing onto Luc’s wrists.

Luc tried struggling free, but since his body was so exhausted he was as helpless as a baby. Tears formed in Luc’s vivid green eyes as he felt Richard’s hands roaming his body.

“Help!” Luc yelled.

Within seconds, someone ran into the bathroom, but Luc could never be prepared for who it was. He saw CJ run into the room, and Richard turned around and looked at CJ.

“Let go of him.” CJ said in a deep rage.

“Or else?” Richard asked.

“I’ll whoop your ass.” CJ growled through gritted teeth.

Seeing how pissed CJ was, Richard gave up. He let go of Luc, and raised his hands in the air.

“Fine, you win.” Richard said, leaving the bathroom.

Luc sank to the floor, and started to cry. He buried his face into his knees, and cried. Luc couldn’t forgive himself for what happened to Greg. He felt as if it was all his fault. He heard CJ sit next to him on the cold tile floor. Luc felt CJ’s muscular arm wrap around his shoulder, and for the first time in a while felt safe. As much as CJ had hurt him, Luc still loved him. Luc felt so safe in CJ’s arms. Luc moved his head from his knees to CJ’s waiting shoulder. Luc could feel CJ’s warm breath against his ear.

“I’m sorry, for everything.” CJ whispered.

Luc just cried.

“I want us to be friends again…I miss you…I want to make you happy again…I want to
protect you.” CJ said.

“…”

“I’ve never figured out why I told you I didn’t want to be your friend…I was wrong…it’s the only thing I want.” CJ said.

“…”

“I want you to know that no matter what you think, its not your fault that your friend died.” CJ said.

“Yes it is…” Luc whispered.

“No Luc, its not…” CJ said.

“Yes it is…I know who killed him…He killed him because of me…” Luc whispered.

“What are you talking about?” CJ asked.

“Remember that guy I told you about from AIM? It was him…He told me to go their…He told me their was a party…he wanted me to find him…he left a note for me in Greg’s house…” Luc said through his tears.

“What did the note say?” CJ asked.

“Next time take my advice, Luc.” Luc whispered.

“To spend quality time with your friends…” CJ whispered.

Luc just nodded.

“Don’t worry Luc, I’ll protect you.” CJ said.

“No…I don’t want your help.” Luc said.

“Why not?” CJ said.

“I already have enough protection.” Luc said.

“Yeah I can tell.” CJ said, referring to Richard.

“Screw you CJ.” Luc said.

“I’m just trying to help.” CJ said.

“You’ve already helped enough.” Luc said.

Luc got up, and started to walk away.

“Please Luc…let me help you.” CJ said.

“No, you’ve already done far too much.” Luc said.

“What? Save you from that little freak?” CJ said.

“As weird as Richard is, funny you call Richard a freak, while you spent the whole bus ride watching me.” Luc said.

“What are you talking about?” CJ asked.

“Do you think I’m that dumb?” Luc asked.

“But, I wasn’t-” CJ started

“Save it.” Luc said.

As much as Luc wanted to be friends with CJ again, as much as he wanted CJ to protect him, he knew it couldn’t happen. If CJ were to protect Luc all it would do is put a target on him for that sick fuck online. If anything were to ever happen to CJ because of him, Luc would never be able to forgive himself.

Luc walked out of the bathroom, and went to his meeting spot. He saw all of his friends sitting at their usual table. Rachel’s red hair fell over her shoulders. Her dull brown eyes looked as if they have been completely dried out from crying. Her frail body shook uncontrollably as she sat their. Jenson’s long blond hair covered one dark blue eye. His pale face looked completely drained of what happiness was once their. Nina sat their trying to comfort Jenson. Her blond hair was a complete mess. Her brown eyes studied Jenson, looking for any signs of him being ready to talk. None were able to be found. Luc walked over to them, and sat next to Genna.

“I am so sorry.” Luc said to Rachel and Jenson.

“We should be apologizing to you Luc. You’re the one who found him.” Rachel said.

“But I’m responsible for it.” Luc said.

“You can’t blame yourself for Greg killing himself Luc.” Rachel said.

“What!?” Luc asked.

“Greg killed himself…that’s what the police said.” Nina said.

“Greg did-” Luc started, before realizing it.

They don’t want people to know someone in the school killed him. Everyone would panic and the school would break out in chaos. Luc thought.

“What?” Jenson asked.

“I don’t know…” Luc said.

“Is their something we don’t know?” Rachel asked.

“You know everything I know.” Luc said.

I hate to lie to them…I hope someday they can forgive me for it…Luc thought.

“Jenson, we have to go.” Nina said.

“Where you going?” Genna asked.

“We have to go to get coffee before first period…we’ll be fast.” Nina said.

“Bye.” Rachel said, weakly.

The two of them left the table, and headed to Jenson’s car. Luc watched them as they got into the car. He saw Nina hug Jenson, trying to cheer him up.

“Can I ask you something?” Luc heard Rachel asked.

“Yeah, sure.” Luc said.

“How did he do it?” She asked.

“Rachel…he shot himself…I’m so sorry.” Luc said.

“Why did he do it?” Rachel asked, beginning to cry.

“I have no idea.” Luc said.

“If you knew you would tell me right?” Rachel asked.

“Yeah, I would.” Luc said.

Luc turned his attention back to Jenson and Nina in Jenson’s car. They had stopped hugging, and Jenson went to put the key into the ignition. As Jenson turned the key to start the car, Luc felt the earth rumble and heard an explosion. He saw that car completely blow up, and he got to his feet. Luc ran towards the car, along with most of the student body. Luc pushed his way to the front of the massive gathering. In front of him he saw the car still up in burning red flames. Inside he saw two burnt corpses. Luc dropped to his knees, and felt tears forming in his eyes. He looked down at the floor in front of the car, and saw it. Lying on the floor was a single red rose with a note attached. As Luc reached out to grab the rose, all of the teachers came running out of the school. Luc could feel his arm shaking uncontrollably as he wrapped his hand around the rose. Luc pulled the rose close too him, and unrolled the note. The note had another message written on it. It read ‘Protect what ever friends you have left.’

Luc stuffed the note into his pocket, and dropped the rose on the floor. The teachers began to clear all of the students away, as the police arrived. The teachers directed all of the students to stay in their homerooms until further notice. While everyone reporter to their homeroom, Luc went to be alone. Luc found his way to the school’s pool. Luc walked close to the pool edge, and stared at his reflection in the water. He could feel the cold tears fall from his eyes, and make a splash into the pool.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Why is he doing this to me? First Greg, then Jenson and Nina…Luc thought.

Luc’s thought was quickly broken when he heard someone behind him. He quickly turned around, and saw the boys locker room door swing close. Luc walked up to the door, and slowly pushed it open.

“Hello?” He called into the dark room.

Luc felt around on the side of the wall, until he found the light switch. Luc flipped the switch, and the locker room slowly lit up, as Luc took a step in. His eyes scanned the room, as he walked farther in. Luc could hear footsteps heading to the shower area, so he decided to follow them. Luc walked cautiously throughout the locker room towards the shower area. For all he knew, the person could be the killer. Luc knew he had to be careful. His eyes looked around the empty dark locker room as he walked through it. Luc finally made his way to the shower room. Luc walked into the shower area, and saw someone standing their. In front of him stood Kyle, looking at Luc.

“Hi Luc. You know where we’re standing right?” Kyle said.

“No, where?” Luc asked.

“The very place where the tradition happens.” Kyle said.

“And why should I care?” Luc asked.

“Cause you might be a part of it this year.” Kyle said.

“What do you mean?” Luc asked.

“You do know what the tradition is right?” Kyle asked.
“Kind of…not really.” Luc said.
“Let me fill you in…the most popular guy in the grade…me…gets a blow job from the most fucked up guy in the grade. And with three of your friends dying, you must be one of the most fucked up kids I’ve ever met. And did I mention that one of my friends has to watch it to make sure it happens?” Kyle said, smirking.

“And if I refuse?” Luc asked.

“You get the shit kicked out of you, then we force the rest, so either way, my dick will be in your mouth.” Kyle said.

“You’re joking me right?” Luc asked.

“You wish I were…I’m going to enjoy it too much…guess what, its tomorrow.” Kyle said.

“I won’t.” Luc said.

“Well, I would hate to hurt you and that pretty face of yours, but for the tradition, I would do anything.” Kyle said.

“Anything?” Luc asked.

“Anything.” Kyle said.

“Why me? You have the power to pick who right? Why can‘t you just pick someone else?” Luc asked.

“Cause I want your mouth, no one else’s, it looks so nice, it bet it feels nice and warm and wet. I‘m getting hard just thinking about it.” Kyle said.

“You sick fuck.” Luc said.

“That I might be…but wait, it gets sicker. Do you know who’s watching you blow me?” Kyle asked.

“No.” Luc asked.

“Do you want to know?” Kyle asked.

“Not really, but do I have a choice?” Luc asked.

“No.” Kyle said.

“Then who?” Luc asked.

Kyle walked close to Luc. He smirked as he put his lips to Luc’s ear.

“The one person you truly care about…the one you love…CJ.” Kyle said.

“You bastard.” Luc said.

Luc went to go to punch Kyle, but Kyle caught Luc’s fist. Kyle punched Luc in his side, before pushing him back. Luc’s body slammed into the hard tiled wall, and it soon sunk to the floor. Luc looked up at Kyle, who began to walk out of the room. Kyle stopped at the doorway, with his back to Luc.

“Tomorrow, I look forward to it.” Kyle said.

Kyle left Luc on the floor, who sat their for a while, trying to figure everything out but he couldn’t…his mind was too tired, and body to hurt.
