Chapter 2: Under the Trees

Liam ^ ...yep

•Derek's POV•
The bell rang and science class has just ended. I really wish it didn't. I didn't even pay attention to Ms. Red, like I ever do. I was too busy talking to Liam. I just couldn't keep my hair off the way his cheeks turned Ruby red as he smiled, the way his raven black hair covered most of his eyes which you could get lost in. And they're not just one color, they're a mixture of light blue and gray, and a little bit of a pine green. I..... I didn't know what was coming over me. I'm straight..... Right?

~Time skipped ~

Three days have passed and I was meeting my girlfriend Clare Blevan in back of the school. I haven't seen Clare in a while and the weird part is I really didn't care much about it. Strange. I mean I liked Clare and her great personality but, being with her in a relationship was uncomfortable for me. I waited for her under the trees behind the school where not many people hang out at. Clare sent me a text:

Clare:Hey:-) I might be late but I'll try to be there as soon as possible. Luv ya:-*
Derek: k
Clare: sawwy bae :-C
Derek: it's okay,.. I don't mind waiting..
Clare::-*

Clare usually won't be late. It just wasn't like her. Since she wasn't coming any time soon I waited under the trees. I sat down and closed my eyes as I felt the wind blow at my face. I felt so relaxed. I was about to lay my body on the cold grass until I heard a small cry. I didn't really pay much attention to the sound until it got louder. And more depressing. I turned around to see where the noise was coming from but I couldn't figure out who was making the sound. I got up from my spot and slowly walked toward the trees. The part about my school is that behind it is the woods, so the farther you walked away from behind the school, the more your leading yourself into the forest. I kept wondering until the noises got louder. There I saw was a small figure sitting on an old wooden bench. I gently put my warm hand on the stranger's shoulder. The stranger turned around and looked at me with their red swollen eyes. Tears were ran down his cheeks and his face was bruised up very badly. This figure seemed familiar but I couldn't figure out who this person was. We both stood there in silence until the stranger said

" h-hello Derek..I-I was just- I really don't-." The stranger was cut off by me as I hugged him really tight. I knew already who this person was but I didn't want to accept the fact. This stranger was Liam.... And having him in my arms was the best feeling I've ever had. I felt his hands grip into my shirt as if he were a child clinging to a mother. I didn't know what to say to comfort him. All I knew was that I didn't want this feeling to stop.

"Thank you Derek. You're actually the only person who was nice to me im this school. But you probably don't know. That's why you're so nice" cried Liam as he hold on my shirt tighter.

"Know what exactly? Is there something wrong? "

"D-Derek, I'm.. I'm gay"

I didn't know what to say next. I was actually dancing in the inside with joy. But WHY? Why was I happy knowing Liam's sexuality? And why did I care so much?Liam looked at me and was about to say something else until some girl with bright purple hair came in. She looked tried and very familiar. SHIT! I JUST REMEMBERED THAT THAT BALL OF PURPLE FUR IS MY YOUNGER SISTER WHICH I HAAAAATE

"There you are. I've been looking for you. And don't worry. Those bullies are taken care of thanks to mwah" said my sister Valentine. Her real name is Valentina but she's going through this weird emo phase so why not.

Liam pushed me aside and ran way from the situation. He ran towards in front of the school and left. I wanted to know what happened so I ran and followed Liam like the little stocker I am. My sister ran with me which got me even more pissed considering she's the reason why Liam left. Liam stopped around a corner to catch his breath until I tackled him down. I must have put all my strength in the push because we both fell under a hill. Luckily my sister was way far behind us, probably left home or something. Liam and I were laying on the grass, panting and huffing from all the running. Liam turned to me and said

" Derek...do you wanna know the reason why I was actually crying?"
