The next day espresso walked in the school and everyone's eyes was on him, he looked confused as he saw a bunch of people talking, whispering and gossiping about him, he did not understand what was going on. When class started things didn't change, everyone's eyes was on him, he got nervous and started sweating as his social anxiety kicked in. It was a shame Madeleine called in sick. The bell rang and he ran to his sister
Espresso- Latte what's going on!?
Latte- I was gonna ask you the exact same thing!! What's this story that you're dating Madeleine???
Espresso- ... What..
Latte- Everyone in the school is talking about that!!! And you know our parents won't like that!!
Espresso- That's not the only thing that worries me..
Latte- What else could worry you?
Espresso- our classmates..
Latte-.. Yeah you have a point, and a very good one..
Espresso- I don't want anyone to make fun of me!!!
Latte- I'm sure no one will make fun of you!!
Espresso- Who started this???
Latte- Cream did..
Espresso- ..That tattletale..
Latte- First of all: YOU are also a tattletale and second of all: are you admitting its true?
Espresso- Not really.. It's complicated
Latte- Well you better make it simple and explain it
Espresso- Me and Madeleine faked that we were dating so cream would leave me alone..
Latte- You really didn't expect her to spread a rumor??
Espresso- No..
Latte- Yeah that was your worst mistake
Espresso- Latte you have to help me with this..
Latte-..No
Espresso- WHAT???
Latte- I said no. I'm not gonna help you
Espresso- Why not??? Latte I need you right now!!!
Latte- Because I know damn well that if it was me in that situation you wouldn't help me!! And I needed you multiple times too, but you were never there, so you gotta find your own way out of this, because I'm not helping YOU!!!
Espresso watches his sister walk away in anger, and he stays still in shock, he never thought this would have happened (ngl neither did I), espresso ran after his sister for a last attempt of asking for help
Espresso- Latte, I'm sorry ok??? But I really need your help!!!
Latte- No you're not sorry!!
Espresso- Yes I am!!!
Latte- Prove it
Espresso- Wha- HOW??
Latte- Say it
Espresso- Say what?
Latte- Say that I'm your sister, say it in front of everyone
Espresso- HUH???
Latte- Do you want my help or not??
Espresso- No, not if I have to admit that I'm related to someone like you..
Latte- Yeah, I see you weren't actually sorry, your actions have consequences espresso, and sooner or later they'll come to you.
(!Tw: homophobia!)
Latte leaves, espresso stands there thinking of what he should do to get out of this situation, that's when he realized he was out of options. After another terrifying and uncomfortable class a duo of 4th graders walked up to espresso
Strawberry jam- Hey, are you espresso cookie?
Espresso- Yeah, that's me
Espresso was surprised by a punch right in the nose which made him bleed
Espresso- HEY!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR??
Strawberry jam- You're disgusting
Espresso- What???
Seasoned toast- Ew, why don't you go get yourself fixed?
Espresso- "Fixed"?
Strawberry jam- Yeah you nasty homosexual, go to a sanctum, not even the divine can forgive you for such a sin
Espresso- What in the actual FUCK are you talking about!!?
Seasoned toast- Maybe we should call a priest so he can pray this gay away
Espresso- "Pray the gay away"??? ALL OF THIS JUST BECAUSE OF A SEXUALITY???
Strawberry jam kicked him in the face, he dropped and a crack appeared on his glasses, how espresso has myopia he cannot see anything without them, all he could do was hear this:
???- WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!? YOU ARE 4TH GRADERS!! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THIS!!!
Strawberry jam- Oh great another first grader, let me guess are you also a homosexual?
All espresso heard after that sentence was fighting sounds, then the person that defended him grabbed his glasses and put it back on his face, that's when espresso saw it was his sister
Espresso- Didn't you say you weren't going to help me?
Latte- Yeah I did say that, but I couldn't let you suffer like this
Espresso- Thanks.. Sis
He saw her smile as she helped him get up. They went home in the next moment. When they got there their parents were making out when they saw them
Caramel frappe- Uh.. You two are home early-!
Espresso- So this is what you two do while we're at school
Cappuccino- Espresso.. What happened to you?
Espresso- Hm?
Cappuccino- Your lenses are cracked and your nose is bleeding
Latte- Two big kids started beating him up because there's a rumor that he's dating a guy at our school
Caramel frappe- Well are you?
Espresso- NO!
Latte- yet
Espresso- I hate you
Latte- Hey! I just saved you! Be grateful!
Cappuccino- So.. Some cookies you don't know beated you up just because there's a rumor that you're gay?
Espresso- Yeah basically
Cappuccino- Hm.. You guys are switching school
Espresso got really sad that he had to say goodbye to his new "friend", but he knew that was the right thing to do
