Tommy's POV
To sum it all up, the meeting in the principal's office was fucked up. Brad and I both got off with a warning because Cassidy had fucking stood up for Brad and Adam had stood up for me. So there were two people on Brad's side and two people on my side, so the principal was torn. Therefore he let us both off with a warning. Some justice system this school has. But why the fuck had Cassidy stood up for Brad?! I thought he was on our side. Brad deserved to be punished, for what he did to Adam. But I suppose I was lucky since I punched him, but I didn't regret that at all.
Adam and I walked out into the school hallway. There were still 4 periods left in the day and of course the principal demanded we go to class. "Well, I'm glad that went over well." Adam spoke.
I snorted. "Yeah, Brad just gets away with all that he did."
Adam shrugged. "Hey, he apologized. I don't think it'll happen again. Everything seems to be okay now."
This time I shrugged. "It's weird; all of a sudden Brad's suddenly not a complete asshole, and Cassidy stands up for him. What was that about anyway?"
"Who knows, I'm just glad that this is over with." With that Adam turned to walk down the hall towards his class, waving goodbye to me. I sighed and turned to walk to my class, when I spotted Cassidy walking down the hall a couple feet ahead of me.
Was it really my business to ask him what was up between him and Brad...? Whatever, I'm doing it.
"Cass!" I yelled his name as quietly as possible. He heard me and turned around. He had panic written in his eyes. He turned slightly, looking like he was about to run away but decided against it and just stood there until I caught up to him.
"Look, I know what you're gonna say," he said, once I approached him. "Look Tommy, Brad's really not a bad guy, he just made some bad decisions. He's actually really sweet…..and nice…..and cool." His eyes got a faraway look in them, and then it hit me. No fucking way.
"No fucking way! You like Brad?!" He blushed and looked down. "Yeah. And he likes me too, so we're kind of…..together"
My eyes widened in shock. "But look what he did to me and Adam! He almost broke us up! How can you be on his side?"
"Tommy, you don't know him okay. He's really not a bad guy, like I said, he just made some bad decisions. He promised it won't happen again, he's really sorry, so can't you just let it go? You know, I haven't been with anyone in like two years, now I finally found someone that I really like, and you're gonna be against it?"
My mouth dropped slightly open in shock. I had no idea that Cassidy even liked Brad, let alone liked him this much. I haven't even known Cassidy for very long but he was a nice guy, and we had really bonded over the past couple months. I could tell he really like Brad, so who was I to try to get in between that? Maybe Brad really was an okay guy; maybe we just needed to give him another chance. Everyone deserves a second chance right? I sighed. "Okay, I'm sorry Cass. I've always believed that everyone deserves a second chance, so I guess I'll give Brad that chance. And I do want you to be happy."
Cass smiled at me. "Thanks Tommy. You won't regret it, I already talked to him and he said he was gonna apologize to you and Adam. Oh and, I am happy. I gotta go, I'll see you later Tommy"
With that, he turned and walked away. I smiled after him. I really hope this goes over as well as I planned.
~after school~
I leaned against the wall, waiting for Adam after school. "Hey Tommy!" he came up behind me, making me jump about five feet in the air.
"Adam! You scared the shit out of me!" I said laughing.
He laughed. "I know, that's what I was trying to do," he said with a smirk. I gave him a playful shove on the shoulder and he laughed again. I could honestly listen to his laugh all day...
"Adam! Tommy!" Someone called both our names. We turned to see Cassidy jogging toward us, followed by Brad.
"Hey Cass. Brad." Adam smiled a half smile. Brad sighed and stepped in front of Cassidy.
"Look guys, I'm just gonna say it….I'm sorry about what I did. I shouldn't have done it and it was wrong. But I don't like you anymore Adam," he said with a joking tone in his voice and he intertwined his hand with Cassidy's and Cassidy smiled down at him. Adam looked at their hands wide eyed, but before he could say anything, Brad spoke again. "Anyway, I'm really sorry Adam. Forgive me?"
Adam sighed. "I'm just glad this whole thing is over, and the drama is over. I forgive you."
Brad and Cass both smiled and Brad turned to me.
"Fine, I forgive you too," I said. Brad smiled bigger.
"So….are you two like….together?" Adam asked, looking at Brad and Cassidy's hands, which were still intertwined.
"Oh! Right, I forgot to tell you Adam," Cassidy said. "Yeah, we're together. I've liked him since I met him, but I was too much of a chicken shit to say it. But I'm glad that I did." He smiled at Brad.
Brad's face lit up. "Aww, I'm glad you did too."
"Okay, okay we get the idea," Adam said laughing. Everyone started laughing.
"Well, we're gonna go. Catch you guys later," Cassidy said, and dragged Brad by the hand towards his car, Brad giggling like crazy the whole way.
Adam laughed and shook his head. "You gotta admit, they're pretty cute together."
I laughed. "I certainly can't deny that/"
I drove Adam to his house after that and kissed him goodbye. "See you tomorrow." I told him. "Are you sure you can't stay with me a little while longer?" I asked, doing my signature pout that Adam loved so much.
He smiled. "No, unfortunately. My mom told me to get my ass home, apparently they wanna talk to me and my brother about something important," he said and shrugged.
"Okay, well, have fun with that," I told him.
"Yeah, I will," he said sarcastically. I laughed and drove away once he was inside his house.
I smiled all the way home. Things were finally okay with everyone. No more drama, nothing else to stand in the way of me and Adam. It was just us. Cassidy was happy, Brad changed, and me and Adam were happier than ever. Nothing else could go wrong.
