Chapter 1
C was going to school, early in the morning. The music blasting his ears as he melancholically thought of B. He takes of his airpods expecting the quit silence of the night but hears strugles... C turns the corner and enters the park expecting some stray cats but heres louder and louder struggles. He looks in a corner of the park and sees two figures on the ground, seemingly fighting. One of the faces is covered by the darkness but through a quick peep of light, C catches a glimpse of a panicked B! C runs to the scene to push the aggressor away and sees B tied up, hands and legs, mouth covered, and his pants ripped open. B’s panicked look makes C understand everything. C takes off his coat and throws it on B to cover up their privates before jumping onto A. D and E alerted by the noise rush in to find a disgracing scene. B lying on the floor, half knocked out, his ripped pants next to him, and B’s coat on his genitals. C , nose bleeding, on top of A, repeatedly punching him. D and E take their bag off. As D runs to help C, E goes to B’s side to check out on him. “B!!! Are you ok? Are you hurt? What happened?” B turns his head to E and tries a faint smile. Meanwhile, C and D knocked A out and are putting in a few final punches of revenge. After a final kick, C forgets about D and A to turn to a B and E kissing. Embarrassed by this in comparison to his own feelings, he puts his bag on, quickly glances at them and walks away. D runs after him.
“-C! C! Where you going?
-Home. This was... I can’t go to school after this!
-Ya me neither. But we cant just leave B alone! E and I were planning to take him to my place and chill there. Want to come?
-Should I? I mean like dont you wana stay between friends?
-After saving B, you are our friend. No question about that.
-Really?
-Yaaa! Come. We’ll have a fun time.”
C is exstatic at this idea. Finally, after months of wanting to be in B’s friend group, he had gotten the invite on a silver plater. C looked at D and E helping B up, and knew he would spend a great afternoon. Then he checked A out, still lying inert. For a second he felt bad but then he saw B, stumbling to his feet holding C’s coat to hide his waist and any ounce of pity was gone.
