Not Qualified For Friends

I stood there wheezing I saw the teacher's mouth moving but I couldn't hear anything or anyone, I shifted my weight onto my right foot then left leaving me there wobbly.  What is happening? Everything suddenly started shifting into a 90-degree angle...or maybe that was just me.

I opened my eyes and found myself in the nurse's office. I sat up and rested my head on the wall

"I'm glad you are awake" I looked to the right and saw it was ander,, of course, he'll be here... He always thinks I'm hiding something. I looked around and saw that Rio wasn't with me... How am I supposed to get better? I climbed out of bed and walked towards the door and pulled it open it was just students walking to their next classes but no Rio...but someone was talking....whispering, gossiping...

"Rio had sex with the teacher to bring up his grade," they said. My heart is throbbing I quickly shut the door

"Rio? where is he?" I shouted

"the first thing you ask when you wake up is about Rio...I want to talk to you first" why can't he just tell me?! Rio...where are you! Is he okay?

"what do you want to know?" I whispered

"What happened to your chest"

"Sex" I replied, "where's Rio?"

"Sex? That wasn't sex"

"Where's Rio?" I didn't light up either. " You said you were gonna tell me."

"You have to answer all my questions for me to tell you that," he told me .. why does he hate me? My throat is as tight as my fist.

"Me and Lenzo we're having sex... This morning." I muttered

" You didn't think you needed to go to the hospital to see about those scars? On your chest and your wrist?" I jumped

" It didn't seem that bad to me... " I continued to whisper suddenly the door opened behind me, and it was the nurse Ms. Lara

" Hello max if you would just sign these papers," she said handing me a pink slip of paper, I didn't need to read this because the important words were highlighted in dark black 'Self-harm'

" I-i-i don't... Self-harm! " I shouted

" We saw your wrist-"

" Those were ancient! Years ago! " Picking her up by her  shirt pulling her closer toward me " DELETE IT! " I screamed at her

" There was skin in your fingernails... The same ones from your scars on your chest"  I swallowed greedily

"heh...?" I dropped her examining my fingers... What... I picked the skin from under them... No? This isn't mine? Kyle...didn't he do this? "no...my boyfriend did this"

"Who?" she tilted her head

"ky-" I looked behind me and saw that ander was writing something down "Lenzo..."

"well if you bring Lenzo here and him clarity this is his doings then I'll cancel this "

"Okay, may I have a moment to call him ?" I asked and she nodded her head stepping out of the room. "ander...can you tell me where's Rio ?"

"I think it's better if you get some rest" he stood up walking towards the door. I grabbed his arm pulling him back

"you said you'll tell me !" I jerked" i-i-i can't...b-b-b-believe you lied!" everything started to become blurry again ... It feels like it was about to start raining in my eyes

"Rio he doesn't want to be bothered that's why I came, he's... getting bullied that's all you need to know"that's the last thing he said before walking out. Bullied? How?  Why? Who? Who would bully a god!  I collapsed on the floor currying into a ball.
Is it because of that video?? I didn't mean to do that to make Rio get bullied! I meant that for the teacher to get fired! I didn't mean it ! This is all my fault! I made Rio get bullied! He isn't happy anymore!  I.... I... I crawled over to my bedsheets rolling it up and looping one side around my neck. I'll just kill myself! Because if Rio isn't happy then I'm not breathing!!! I'll commit suicide I'll fucking do it!

"God bless you, you are dumber than me" Kyle taunted " do you not remember what happened last year?"

"Shut up Kyle" I whisper, tightening the sheets, I can still breathe and that's a bad thing tighter I have to make it tighter

" Last year there was a girl name selly I don't know or care, but her nudes were leaked. All her friends avoid her. And no one wanted to be around her... She was in a desperate time so she sold nudes to old men. Because she wanted attention" he explained. I don't care I don't care, it's getting harder and harder to breathe.... I'm so close

" What I'm saying is that this is a chance to get with Rio while he's desperate!" I suddenly paused and looked over at him... A chance?  Could this really be a good thing for me? He came closer to me and wiped off the tears that were staining my face

" This is a good thing, I'm proud of you" he smiled at me. I suddenly heard a knock at the door and removed the bed sheets from around my neck and it was the nurse she came in and peeked her head inside the door

"You can leave at the end of the day"  she explained, I nodded my head and sat at the chair near the window, outside there was this tree where students hung out but no one was over there...I mean except for this guy with black hair, I couldn't really see his face, but I know he's Rio... My Rio you always have anyway to come check up on me. I pulled open the window and climbed out and walked over towards him as I got closer I noticed that this wasn't Rios body.... The guys arms had these little holes in it I looked over and saw a needle... Oh.. he's a druggie... Better off it leave him alone so he can just overdose

"Drugs...." The guy muttered his eyes flicker and looked up at me he had these black eyes... And his face is familiar aswell

"Are you lenzo?" I question he chuckled and rubbed his nose

"Whose askin'?" He has this accent like British it's kinda cool

"Some guys where yelling out lenzo a few seconds ago... They asked me to help so I was just wondering" he popped up picking up his backpack

" Shit really! Where did they go!"

" Why are they your friends? "

" Not fucking really! they are fucking scrans butter sticks when I see them" what the hell does that even mean?

" Oh... " I gulped he grabbed my arm and we started running

"Help me find them yeah?" Oh fuck... I didn't sign up for this! We kept running and running but we couldn't find anything and it was almost dark, we were getting nowhere ...

"Uhm... How about we try again tomorrow?" I told him. We were now in this ally full with trash cans and cats digging through them in search of food. He leaned on the wall gasping for air

"Yeah that seems... Okay" he huffed "hey, what's your name-"

"I heard you were looking for us!" A group of guys maybe around 6 of them came around the corner over towards us and they were mad they didn't waste anytime beating the fuck out of lenzo in seconds, I couldn't see what all they were doing to him but I know I heard blood gushing onto the ground. One looked over at as if he was going to attack me but I didn't move " you want some of this too!" One yelled, I looked down at lenzo and he wasn't moving but he was breathing...

"As long as you don't kill him I won't do anything" some of them started to whistle and continued kicking lenzo down. This remained for like a hour until they ran off. I couched down to lenzo to check if he was breathing and he was

"Can you speak?" I whispered into his ear I heard a faint groan coming from him. I guess he can...
