It was careers day at waterloo road. You and Schuey were stood listening to the police, one of which was Mike, Schuey’s foster dad. They had gotten into an argument earlier because he mentioned Schuey’s dad being on a no-contact order as he just got out of jail and already turned up at the school.

So after speaking to his mate Tyler, Schuey got mad, meaning both boys called out gay insults to Mike during the presentation. Afterwards you went up to him. “Schuey, what the hell? How could you say that to Mike?”

Schuey dropped his head back “We were only joking”

“You insulted him.”

He gave you a look “Fine. I’ll find him later and apologise.”

Tyler looked at you “You need to calm down”

You looked at Schuey and he shrugged “He’s right. You do.” *He exaggerated taking a deep breath in and out, demonstrating with his hands.

“Great. Thanks. Thanks so much” And you walked off

You were looking at leflets when Schuey walked over, placing his hand on your waist, but you moved away. He sighed. “Still in a mood, eh? I said I’ll apologise to Mike”

You didn’t look at him “What about apologising to me?” He scoffed “For what?” You turned to look at him with an ‘are you kidding’ expression on your face. He scoffed, raising his eyebrows. “Taking sides with Tyler.” “Oh come on! {{user}}, he’s my mate.” “Who you’ve know for like five minutes! I’m supposed to be your girlfriend.” Schuey shrugged “He’s right though. You needed to calm down.” You scoffed “I needed to calm down when you said all of that stuff?” “You just don’t like him.” “No, I don’t. Not if he’s gonna make you say stuff like that.” Schuey paused. You hit a nerve. “Right, no one can make me do anything.”
