My eighth period teacher held me back after class to talk about a test I took and now i'm late with going out to the bus. I quickly grabbed my things from my locker and I was about to rush out to the buses when Justin and his crew stopped me.
"Look who it is."
I sighed. "Justin, I don't have time for this."
"Yeah you do. Grab him."
"What?"
Suddenly, I felt Justin's friends grab me. My books fell from my hands and onto the floor. I felt Justin's friend carry me around the school. I wasn't sure where they were taking me until they walked through the Boy's locker room. My eyes widen at the realization of what they're going to do. Justin's friends carried me out to the pool.
"Little faggs like yourself needs to be cleansed inside and out. Throw him in the pool." Justin said.
I gasped as Justin's friends threw me into the pool. It felt like my whole world has stopped. I was terrified of being thrown into the pool because i can't swim and i'm highly hydrophobic. I flailed my arms as I tried to swim up to the surface but my body wouldn't budge. I was stuck. This is the end I guess. This is how i'm going to die. In a school's swimming pool.
Then, my prayers were answered. Someone dove into the water and grabbed me. I wasn't really sure who it was but I was very grateful to them. The savior pulled me up to the surface and pulled me out of the pool then laid me down on the floor.
"Don't die on me, Jonah." A soft male voice said.
The savior started to push on my chest and give me mouth to mouth. This cycled continued until I eventually coughed up water.
I coughed and coughed then slowly opened up my eyes. I waited till my vision cleared before I could see that my savior is...Cyr.
Cyr smiled at me then helped me sit up. He wrapped a clean white towel around my shoulders.
"H-how...?"
"I thought something was wrong when you didn't come out to the buses. I know the teacher held you back in the classroom but I thought that you have been gone too long so I decided to see what you were doing. That's when I saw your things on the floor by your locker and I guess my first instinct was to check the pool."
I softly smiled at him.
"Cyr...thank you."
Cyr hugged me tightly. "I was so scared. I was scared that I was going to lose you."
I sighed and closed my eyes as I rested my head on Cyr's chest.
"That's why...I realized that I don't want to let you go. Forget what I said before about not wanting to date you right now. I want to protect you, Jonah."
My heart dropped. This is not good.

"That's pretty much what happened, Jaime. Right then and there, Cyr admitted that he wanted to be my boyfriend." I said into my phone as I sat on my bed.
"That's so cute but so..."
"Yeah...What do I do now?"
"Well, for one, Justin and his friends now know that you're...gay."
"Yeah but how?"
"I dunno. The only time you and Cyr have been alone together at school is...during lunch."
"Oh yeah...We were standing outside the cafeteria...I can't believe this."
"Calm down. It's not the end of the world yet."
"Not the end of the world!? Jaime! I'm stuck! I can't tell my parents about the bullying because they'll know why but if I keep my mouth shut, things might get worse!"
I started to feel my eyes tear up.
"Just calm down. I'll think of something."
Then, I started to break down and cry.
"Jonah, relax, please. First, you need to tell Cyr that you're in the closet and maybe he can help you."
I sighed. "I...i'll see you tomorrow. Bye." I hung up.
My world is now spiraling out of control. Justin and his friends know that i'm gay, I can't tell my parents because they'll disown me if they know but if I don't tell someone, things might get worse...I seriously don't know what to do.
I needed some advice so I hopped on my computer and logged into YourDigitalWorld.com. I saw that a bunch of my friends were online so I invited them into a private chat room for us and started to chat with them. Everything seemed to be a bit better now but reality kept pulling me out of my fantasy land. I wish I can just jump into the 8-bit website and stay there forever.
