It was now Monday, Jake's first day back at school since his exclusion until Meenah gets back. He was already up by half six n the morning, anxiety settling in his gut. He'd never felt so ill, but he knew it wouldn't be best to have any more days over considering he needs to learn. Jake didn't understand why he was so nervous, everyone at the party seemed to like him still, though few weren't happy with him. The boy sipped his tea loudly, stroking Bec unnaturally fast, though the dog didn't mind. English got up the messaging app, clicking on Dirk's icon and typing a message.
JAKE: Hey, chap! im ridiculously nervous about today.
DIRK:
DIRK: Why?
JAKE: Im just a little... nervous for no reason, i guess.
DIRK: Don't worry, I'll be right by your side.
JAKE: Thank you!
DIRK: I'll walk to school with you, be over in an hour, English.
With that, English waited impatiently for his best friend to arrive, occupying himself with various activities such as video games, reading and blowing the odd piece of hair out of his face.
~~
Eventually, the blond arrived with his classic stoic expression, eyeing Jake up and down before nodding in the direction of the pathway. Jake greeted his bro with a goofy smile and a small wave, gulping nervously, still.
The two began walking to school, strangely enough, it was oddly silent between them, causing the green-eyed twerp to attempt to strike up and conversation.
"So, d'ya think Aranea's over the whole party-picture situation?" The Brit questioned, one hand on his bag strap.
"Nah." Strider replied smoothly, "She's probably not going to be in, I wouldn't worry. I know she blocked me on Snapchat, though, must've forgotten I had an Instagram. Spiderwhore." He chuckled at the nickname, causing Jake to smile.
English's heart skipped a beat every time Dirk laughed or smiled. I suppose he found his best friend that adorable, but in a platonic way... Jake guesses. He couldn't help but stare at Strider's white, dashing grin that lit up his day oh-so-much. That handsome gleam. And oh God did this spike up Jake's curiosity of Dirk's eye colour; those silly eyes of his were constantly hidden behind dark shades that pointed sharply outwards, maybe they made people scared to try and touch his sunglasses? Jake shook it off, trying to sneakily, from the side, see Dirk's eyes. It took no more than seconds for Dirk to catch on, turning his head towards Jake with a raised eyebrow and smirk. For a moment, the shorter (by, like, an inch or so) Englishman thought he saw orange.
"What'cha grinnin' at, English?" Di-Stri inquired, "Am I that pretty?"
"I guess so, chap!" Jake giggled, "You're the prettiest dude I've met!" He wasn't lying, Dirk was FUCKING HOT. Hot. He was simply hot.
They then continued to joke and blindly fall in love with each other on the way to hell...
~~
The blond and brunet went through the school gates, receiving suspicious grins and snickers from schoolmates, who's eyes were soon pried away by Dirk's vicious raise of his middle finger, which Jake soon made him put away.
They ventured into the hallway, getting eyed down by kids of both older and youngers years (grades).
"HEY LOOK, IT'S THE *HOMO* SAPIENS, GET IT?!" Some buff guy shouted, people bursting out with laughter. 'Shit', thought Dirk, 'Aranea might be in today...' And on queue, the spider girl herself coughed behind the pair to draw attention to herself. Dirk and Jake turned around.
"Hey 8oys!" Aranea laughed evilly, pulling a scrolled up poster-like thing from behind her back, "Hope I didn't intrude on your little gay parade!" She smirked as she unscrolled the picture, which presented the two of them millimeters away from smooching. The gay lads gulped in unison.
"That's-" Dirk was interuppted.
"-you two, I know, sweetie!" She smiled innocently, fluttering her eyelashes. "Oh, 8y the way, thanks for 8oosting my popularity at the party, Meenah's 'chuffed', as gaylord Jake would say."
"BACK THE FUCK OFF, SERKET." Dirk screamed, "YOU WERE THE ONE UPSET WITH MEENAH NOT CONSIDERING YOU HER GIRLFRIEND IN TEH FIRST PLACE, SO DO NOT START ON JAKE AND I JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET YOURSELF A LOVEY-DOVEY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FISH BITCH."
Aranea choked slightly, coughing and looking at a group of boys hanging around lockers who were watching. She nodded at them. "8eat 'em to a god damn pulp, 8oys." She began walking away.
With that command in their brain, people cornered the innocent pair, throwing punches and kicks and spitting harsh words into their ears. Somehow, Dirk managed to take most of the punches, protecting Jake.
The fight was over within ten minutes, leaving the boys to clean up bad cuts and bruises. Dirk escaped with a black eye and numerous cuts, while Jake escaped with bruises on his neck, and cuts on his face.
"We both fought each other, got it?" Dirk said.
"Excuse me?" Jake replied.
"We both fought each other, that is our excuse, if you tell them we were beat up, we'll get beat up again, you want that?" Dirk spat, splashing water at his face. Jake sighed, shaking his head 'no'. "That's what I thought."
He knew coming into school wouldn't be good.
