Laurence's P.O.V

I looked over to Garroth and saw him freeze, as Zenix said that sentence. "Leave Garroth alone!" I turned around in my seat and stood up, just to get shoved back down into my seat. "Sit down boy, you don't wanna get more bruises like the last time do you?" Gene snapped, staring into my eyes. I winced a bit, and looked away, my hand tracing the bruises they gave me from last time. "....." Garroth looked down and he bit his lip. "Leave Laurence alone...I need to learn for once, right..? Heh.." Garroth said in a worried voice but smiled as he said it. Sasha, Gene, and Zenix let out a few chuckles. "How about we punish you both..." Sasha said evilly and they all walked away before we could respond. "....I don't want you to get hurt Garroth..."  I muttered and ran my fingers through my brunette locks. "They have been bullying us ever since elementary school, we're Seniors now! We're in 12th Grade and we just can't get a break!" I yelled out in frustration, but I was barely heard from all the other kids screaming and talking. "...Well...at least we get to be beaten up together..?" Garroth said, trying to comfort me. I laughed a bit and ruffled his champagne locks, Garroth squealed a bit and giggled. He shooed away my hands and fixed his hair, of course, he didn't fix a lot, since his hair was always a curly mess. (In this fanfic Garroth's hair is curly, but only the tips of his hair are curly. SO YE) "Aw! L-Laurence, you messed up my hair even more!" Garroth squeaked, blushing a light pink, and looking up at me with a pouty face. "Calm down stutter king, you're fine!" I laughed at the nickname and blushed a light pink as well. The bell rung, signaling it was free period. I took a deep breath and grabbed Garroth's hand, rushing him out of the cafeteria. "Come on, we have to make it to the yard and hide before Gene and his minions do." I quickly said, Garroth speeding up. He let go of my hand and we both ran to the schoolyard.

Once we got there, I signaled Garroth to follow my lead. I took him to a small place, where I usually hide when they chase me. "I always hide here, they never find me here so I almost always go to this place." I explained in a hushed tone, and then put a finger on my lips signaling to 'be quiet'. Garroth nodded and we both sat down in the spot, bushes, and trees hiding us perfectly. I took the chance and peered over the bushes, I spotted Gene and the other Shadow knights looking around the area. I gulped and quickly sat back down normally, only using my ears once again to detect if they were near. "We haven't checked here..." I heard Sasha walk over to our hiding area, along with two other feet walking towards the area. My heart started to race, faster and faster as they walked closer. "Don't tell me their gonna find us now.." I muttered nervously and crawled over to where Garroth sat, trying to cover him. I saw Gene appear through the entrance, he laughed evilly. "Jackpot..~" He sung and stalked towards me, I stood up and Garroth got up with me. He tried to get beside me, but I used my arm to keep him behind me. "Are you fucking kidding me.." I blurted out and wiped hair out of my face before I knew it, I got shoved to the side, revealing Garroth. I banged my head on a rock and grunted in pain, my vision going blurry. I could just make out, Garroth getting kicking in the leg and falling onto the floor. I blinked a few time and sat up, crawling over to Garroth and making him get up before he got kicked again by Gene. I got up as well and tried to pull Garroth away until I felt firm hands grasp my shoulders and pull me away. I realized the person who pulled me away was Zenix. "Fuck...Garroth, no!" I yelled out as Garroth got scratched on the cheek, I saw Garroth let out a yelp and he started to sob quietly. I moved my leg and kicked Zenix in the knee, making him fall down and let go of me, grasping his knee instead. I grabbed Garroth had and moved him out the way of getting hit again.

I motioned quick for Garroth to follow, and he nodded running behind me. I led him inside the school and ran up to my locker, which was mostly empty and I went inside the locker, pulling Garroth inside with me. I slammed the locker closed and looked down at Garroth, who was pressed up against my chest. We both blushed a crimson red and put my arm around Garroth gently, trying to make him a bit more comfortable. Garroth let out a sigh and snuggled a bit closer to me. "I-is this o-okay?" Garroth whispered to me nervously, I blushed an even darker red if that was possible and chuckled a bit. "Y-Yeah..sure bud..." I mumbled back, as Garroth slowly leaned his head on my chest slowly drifting asleep. I let out a shakily sigh, and used the sleeve of my shirt to clean off some of the blood on Garroth's cheek. "He's unrealistically adorable..." I mumbled and widened my eyes. "He's my best friend, I can't think that.." I then muttered and shook my head slightly. I leaned my cheek on top of Garroth's head and let out another sigh, out of boredom, I started to play with Garroth's hair. I felt Garroth snuggle a bit closer. "L-Laur.," he mumbled my name in his sleep and smiled a bit. I inhaled sharply and the blush that I just got rid of, rose right back onto my face. I didn't even wanna know what Garroth was dreaming of...

(I'll leave what Garroth was dreaming about to your imagination, HAHAHAHAAH- I'm sorry.)
