daniel and corbyn sat across from each other at their lunch table, talking amongst themselves.

jack sat beside daniel; sleeping again.

both corbyn and daniel were seniors and jack was a junior.

jack had his arms wrapped around a sweatshirt with his head laying soundly on top of it.

"does he ever sleep at night?" corbyn said as he looked at jack and then at daniel who was in a daze.

corbyn clapped his hands in front of daniel's face, "hello?"

"i'm sorry what?" daniel said as his eyes darted to corbyn's face; their blue eyes meeting.

"ugh nothing, what're you staring at?" corbyn asked as he turned his head to examine the lunch room.

corbyn scanned the room, and then saw the sophomore; zach herron.

"why don't you just talk to him already?" corbyn said as he turned back to daniel who's cheeks were glowing pink.

daniel rolled his eyes, "oh yeah let me just pull some confidence out of my ass real quick."

corbyn shook his head, "it's obvious you like him, i bet people know," daniel's eyes widened "rea-"

"who'd he get in to a fight with this time?" ari asked before she sat down beside corbyn with a tray.

ari is a junior who's mixed with long curly dyed red hair and glasses; she's jack's girlfriend.

"who?" daniel asked as he looked at her.

"jonah marais, who else always comes to school looking like he's been in a fight?" ari rolled her eyes as she looked at her boyfriend.

"damn he sleeping again?" she mumbled as she ran her fingers through his curls.

corbyn looked around and there was jonah with bruises standing in line with his friends.

"maybe he fights for money?" daniel shrugged as he looked at the senior.

corbyn shook his hand, "doubt it."

corbyn walked in to his fifth period which was a free period with mr. shepard.

he stopped in front of the desk he usually sat in and stared down at jonah marais scrolling through his phone.

corbyn waited for jonah to notice him, "you're in my seat."

"we don't have assigned seats" jonah said as he looked up at corbyn with a blank expression.

corbyn sighed as he sat down in the desk beside jonah, not wanting to cause a scene.

"damn you're no fun to fuck with" jonah groaned as he put his phone in his bag.

corbyn shook his head as he glanced at jonah's face, "who'd you get in to a fight with this time?"

jonah's tone was serious, "you wouldn't know him."

"does he go to this school?" corbyn asked as he shifted his body to face jonah.

jonah looked over at corbyn and thought for a second, "he used to but that was a long time ago."

"my friend thinks you fight for money" corbyn blurted out not meaning to and jonah laughed.

"fuck dude, i wish" he smiled and shook his head, "was it the seavey kid?"

"daniel? yeah" corbyn shrugged, "does he like zach herron?" jonah asked as he laid his head in his arms.

"the answers obvious ain't it?" corbyn said as he glanced around the small classroom.

jonah nodded, "zach likes him but is to oblivious to notice daniel's stares."

"you're friend's with zach?" corbyn asked, "yeah, we play soccer together and he's friends with my younger sister."

"how do you have the grades to play soccer?" corbyn once again blurted without thinking; shit.

"secret" jonah winked at corbyn causing him to look away, "but seriously how are you the captain of the baseball team too?"

"more and more classified information."
