Chapter 6
* a couple of months later, it’s December* I wake up and get ready for school and climb out my window that's been my way in and out so that my dad doesn't catch me and Yooki together. I knock on Yooki’s window and he opens it, he’s ready and grabs his star necklace off of his nightstand and puts it on. I help him out of his window and we walk to the bus stop.
The bus comes and we get on holding hands, Yooki and the bus driver do their normal ‘good mornings’ and ‘hellos’ and we go to the back of the bus. “Well look who the dog brought in,” Subree says glaring at Yooki. I glare back at her and she rolls her eyes and looks away. Yooki and I talk for the entire bus ride, his laugh is adorable.
We made it to the school and got off the bus, every time someone pointed or laughed at Yooki I told them to leave him alone and every time I do, I catch Yooki peacefully smiling and he thanks me.
We go into the cafeteria to eat breakfast and Subree’s group walks up to us. “Hey Kinkay, do you mind if we talk to Yooki in the hallway while you keep eating breakfast?” Subree said it with an ‘OK’ tone but I still didn’t trust her.
“I don’t know, I guess it's up to him,” I squeezed Yooki’s hand but he didn’t do anything. He just pushed his tray away.
“Hey! I told you to at least eat half your food,” I said but he just stuck his tongue out at me. I’ve been trying to get Yooki to eat more since it turns out he used to starve himself.
“Are you two just going to ignore me?” Subree put her hand on her hip. I kiss Yooki and turn back around to her.
“Well, you ARE annoying.'' As I say it I hear Yooki giggle but Subree seems to get pissed and yanks Yooki’s arm causing him to yelp in pain and surprise, which causes me to stand up.
“If I let you TALK to him you have to PROMISE ME that you won’t do ANYTHING to hurt him mentally or physically.” I point at her and look her dead in the eye which makes the rest of the group even look a little scared but Subree just smiles, jay on the other hand looks away.
“Yeah yeah I promise.” She waves her hand and starts technically dragging Yooki since he doesn’t walk very fast.
Yooki’s point of view
The group drags me into the hall and pushes me up against the wall and instantly punches me in the jaw causing blood to drip from my mouth or maybe my lip, my face was too numb from the punch that I couldn’t tell. They kept punching me in the head until I fell to the ground and they started kicking me.
“Oh yeah, before I forget, isn’t today that Christmas party when there's no class all day?” Subree asks, poking me.
“Then take this as my gift to you,” she says, smiling and kicking me in the head before walking back into the cafeteria. My vision blurs then goes black, I feel dizzy.
Kinkay’s point of view
I see the group walk back in but I don’t see Yooki. I stand up and walk over to the group which was laughing and grabbed Subree’s shoulder, turning her around. “Where’s Yooki?” I say in a decently harsh tone.
“I don’t know,” she says playing with her hair. I get mad and stomp off out of the cafeteria. The bell rings but we don’t have any classes so I just ignore it. I get into the hallway and see Yooki on the ground covered in bruises and bleeding.
“YOOKI!?” I ran up to him helping him up. He lays his head against my shoulder mumbling words that I couldn’t quite understand but I just pick him up and walk to the nurse who doesn’t do anything and just says she’s on break and she can’t do anything since it's bullying. So she just gives us bandages and ointment. Stupid Ms. Harp.
I carry Yooki to a bench in the hallway and set him down. “What happened exactly?” I ask wiping the blood from a spot in his head, it wasn’t very deep at all but it was bleeding quite a bit.
“S-Subree’s group,” he says, his voice breaking a little. I feel like a flame just lit near me, that girl made a promise and instantly broke it.
I finished with the spots on his head and take off his jacket to look at his arms. They have a few bruises one being a bruise from when Subree grabbed him to bring him into the hall, it was an exact shape of her hand and was already a greenish color. This is the first time I got a good look at his scars, and I didn’t like it, there were a bunch of scars on the top and bottom of his arms.
When I finished being a doctor boyfriend we walked over to our lockers. Yooki stops and stares at his causing me to look as well, the word fagot was written in big letters on his locker with smaller written sentences around it. Yooki started crying and I could tell he was reading the smaller words and sentences, he put up his hood and sat down in the corner as I walked up to his locker to read. ‘Loser’ ‘why are you still here?’ ‘what happened to you ending your life’ ‘go back to cutting’. I couldn’t stand to read anymore, these people are terrible. I walked up to Yooki and sat next to him. “Is all of that true, should I go back,” Yooki says looking up at me. I grab the sides of his hood and give him a small kiss.
“No, definitely not, I don’t know what I would do without you.” as I say that Yooki smiles.
“Oh yeah I have something for you,” he says reaching into his bag and grabbing a present that says To checker boy From Starboy and hands it to me. I reach into my bag and hand him two gifts.
“You open yours first,” Yooki says, laying the gifts I handed him next to his bag. I open up the gift and it’s a picture frame with a picture of Yooki and I with the waterfall behind us. Yooki opens his and he smiles-it's a picture that he liked from one of our dates, a picture of him holding chopsticks feeding me sushi cause I was too scared to try it- he laughs a little and gently puts the frame in his bag and I do the same. Yooki opens the other one - a ring- he looks up at me a little confused.
“It's a promise that I'll never betray you like everyone else did,” I say putting the ring on his finger. He smiles and hugs me and I hug him back. I take out my laptop and we watch a horror movie but turn it off when Yooki gets scared and we decide to have a spelling contest which Yooki wins-he’s straight A’s when I have three F’s WHO EVIL BEING PUTS LETTERS WITH NUMBERS- after the contest, Yooki starts helping me with my homework.
“Ok next question for science, what are clouds made out of?” Yooki says taking off his reading glasses and laying them in their case. I think for a while.
“COTTON CANDY,” I say and we both burst into laughter.
“No that's not correct you weirdo,” Yooki says, wiping tears away from his eyes from laughing too hard.
