6-Offer.

Now that I know what the band on my hand mean, I don't feel comfortable letting everyone see it.

Now they know what kind of a wuss I am, like really. This feel like being sold with benefits, I decided to hide in the library. Maybe take another nap, being sick making me hungry, shouldn't I be like losing my appetite and what's not.

I hadn't ate anything since the day before yesterday dinner since last night I was just too sick to eat or get out of bed.

Walking in the library I chose a nice corner to sit in, it was mostly quiet since everyone else is busy eating but me. I sat on the floor mostly hiding from the whole world, placing my back against the cold wall and closing my eyes.

"He's just precious" I heard a voice whisper.

"Should we wake him up" another asks.

"God why did he even come today he's still sick" the voice was angry, I knew this one.

It's Caden, I opened my eyes to see Caden and two others from the football team standing in front of me. I blushed from embarrassment I never blush but now I just did, being sick is compromising my brain capability.

"What are you doing here little guy?" Caden asks.

"Napping," I say with sass.

"Careful the kitten scratch," the other guy says with a chuckle. I give him my best glare but he doesn't seem to really care.

"Alex, can we talk?" Caden asks and I shake my head no, I'm good.

"Please little guy" he begs but I shake my head firmly no, I don't wanna talk to him.

Finally, the damn belt rang and I was saved, I took off running leaving three guys with stunned looks on their faces. I ran toward my next class, just my luck it happens to have Tasha with me, it's the only class we actually share. She's older than me but I'm smart enough to be in advance Physics.

"Hey little one," she says sliding next to me, usually I sit in the front and she'll sit in the back of the class.

Today I'm sitting in her territory since I'm hiding from those three, I don't think they followed me but just to be on the safe side.

"Hey" I reply to her.

"You look a bit pale, you okay?" she asks in a worried voice, the back of her hand touching my forehead. I know I had a fever, I could feel my self boiling from the inside, she Tsk at how warm I feel.

"Little one are you sick?" she asks.

"It's just the flu," I tell her like it's nothing.

"I can take you to the nurse's office" she suggests.

"Already saw her, I'm good," I say turning around to face the teacher.

It was getting worse, I really needed to sleep this off but I can't go back home and the medicine isn't really helping right now. Tasha let me be, for now, just typing away on her phone.

After great effort and torture, the class was over and I was ready to leave, I never hated physics this much. Tasha had other ideas, she offered me a hand once I stood up.

"Come on little one, let me walk you to your next class," she says and I nod okay, I gave her my hand and we both walked toward my next class.

"Call me if you don't feel okay" she ordered before leaving me in class. She didn't give me a chance to tell her no but whatever, time to sit in another torture class.

I sat down drifting off to sleep when the teacher decided to call me on it.

"Mr. Smith I assure you my class isn't that boring" He scolds and I open both my eyes sitting straight in my seat.

"Sorry Sir," I say.

"Out!!" He yells.

"Sir..." I say in shock.

"I said Out!" he yelled.

I got my stuff and rushed out of the class, all eyes were on me, can this be any more embarrassing, I got beaten before and didn't cry but now this embarrassment got my eyes tearing up. Damn it Alex get it together, I scold myself only to tear up some more.

I walked outside, fresh air and no people to see me crying cause of being scolded by a teacher, I was never scolded or yelled at in a class, I was always the good student, I'm smart for god's sake. I wiped my nose with Emilio's hoodie, I have to wash it and give it back soon.

"Hey, you okay?" A voice says startling me.

I look back to see Emilio standing behind me. I wipe my face quickly trying to hide all evidence of my teary face.

"You crying, Alexei? What's wrong baby boy?" he asks in a warm voice, he takes a step toward me and I take a step back.

"Hey take it easy," He says again and take a step forward, now he's standing close to me, I can see how short I am next to me. I hardly touch his shoulder.

"What got you all worked up?" he asks touching my face, wiping my tears.

"The teacher sent me out of the class," I say sniffling.

God Alex can you get and more embarrassed, just get it together, Emilio gives me a sympathetic look and offers me his hand. I take it and he walks me toward the office, why!

We saw the same girl in the office on my first day, she smiles once she saw us together although my face was a bit pink from the whole crying bit.

"How can I help you Em?" she asks him.

"I want to make Alexei an offer" he replies.

"That's awesome Em let me class Mr. Peter then," she says and gets busy on the phone, I look at him not understanding much.

"I want to make you a blue band offer Alexei, please," he says showing me his black band on his arms, calling me Alexei while everyone else just calls me Alex.

Maybe, it the sickness talking, maybe it's my crush on him but I actually nodded and waited for Mr. Peter to come so I can found out what his offer is.
