Breaking the Rules.

Bryce held onto his book as he made his way down the long hallway. Today was Tuesday and he was heading to the gym where he'd be listening to some teacher talk about bus rules for around thirty minutes then they would all head out to go do the routine since it was a requirement now. As he walked down the hallway he was suddenly grabbed causing him let out a gasp which became muffled as a hand was thrown over his lips. His blue eyes locked with hazel ones and they slightly widen, he shoved Ryan away with a glare.

"Ryan!"

Ryan let out a laugh as he stared at the boy in front of him before letting his hands fall into his pockets. "You heading to the bus thing?" He only got a nod from the still glaring boy. "Not anymore."

"Um, yes I am." Bryce stated. "I don't know where else I would go mister Wrecker."

"With me."

Now Bryce scoffed. "With you? No, I think you heard what I said wrong." Ryan grinned as he grabbed Bryce's hand causing the younger boy to jerk his gaze upwards. "No I heard you but I think it'd be fun to skip." He shrugged at Bryce who was still staring at him with a light blush. "Wait," he jerked his hand away. "Skip?" Ryan nodded. "Do you know how much trouble we would get into?"

"If we don't get caught then.."

Bryce held his book close as he tapped his foot against the floor as if thinking or slightly annoyed. "Hmm..." Ryan rolled his eyes and grabbed Bryce's book before taking off down the hallway causing him to chase after him. "Ryan! Give it back!" The two ran down the hallway engaged in a chase.

They stopped.

Ryan held his arm over Bryce's chest and Bryce covered his mouth as if to stop from breathing. Around the corner a teacher walked down the hallway talking into her talkie about how there were no students in the hallways at the moment. When she entered a classroom they both shared a glance and Ryan grinned as he began to drag Bryce down the halls.

"Please tell me you've done this before." Bryce whispered, watching as they walked past a teachers room where the sound of writing could be heard. "Nope, this is my first." Ryan joked with a snort. Bryce made a face before whispering something under his breath.

They turned down a hallway and made their way to the back where the principals office was, door wide open. "That idiot," Ryan chuckled to himself as he walked into the room with Bryce. He shut the door behind him and locked it. "Alright, stay right here. If you hear anything hide." Bryce swallowed hard and gave a nod in response.

Ryan began to look for a key but came to a stop when someone started to mess with the door handle. Both boys shared a glance before Bryce ended up standing behind the door and Ryan hid under the desk. Now Bryce was literally praying they didn't get caught.

The male walked past the door and he grabbed a key before exiting the room, causing Bryce to let out a sigh of relief as he watched Ryan step out from under the desk. "This is insane." He stated dryly. Ryan grabbed a key from the holders and smirked at Bryce while he dangled the key. "But it's fun." The two boys left the office and made their way down to the gym, Bryce was looking side to side in a worry.

"We are so gonna get caught." He whispered, watching Ryan roll his eyes in response. "Nooo, I would never let that happen." Ryan grinned as he took hold of Bryce's hand and dragged him onward to the room that was locked beside the old Scienfe lab. He unlocked the door and held it open for Bryce, "After you."

Bryce stepped inside and heard Ryan close the door behind him. But Bryce never turned his gaze away. He just stared at the old theater room before him and smiled slightly at how peaceful it was in the room.

"They built the new one so ditched this one. I don't blame them because of how loud the science kids were. So now this is just an extra room. They plan on removing in a few years but guess what,"

"What?"

"We have the key."

Bryce smiled as he sat on the stage of the theater, not noticing Ryan walking behind him. "What do you think would've happened if we got caught?" Bryce asked as he looked up at the ceiling. Ryan gave a light hum as he sat behind Bryce with a silent smile. "Oh you know, probably would've got put in ISS or sent to the bus thing. No big deal." Bryce nearly scoffed.

Bryce barley noticed Ryan's hands holding onto his arm and gently pushing him back until he felt his back press against the other males chest. His eyes widen when Ryan wrapped his arms around him and held him tightly in an embrace.

"Of course I wouldn't let you get the blame for it..I would take it." He whispered, mouth only a few inches from his ear. Bryce could feel his cheeks get warm as well as his body. He felt as if he had to swallow his heart back down and his stomach would tear from all the butterflies he was getting at the moment. Bryce and Ryan didn't say anything as they just sat there in silence..

Dear McQuaid,

I'm the same way. Bryce I want you to know that I really like you and I know it hasn't been long at all but I somehow have grown attached to you. I know this sounds weird but I enjoy the time I see you at my locker waiting to put that letter in.. You don't know me but I know you..and I may have fallen in love with what I know and seen already.
