"Um, I was just thinking, I mean." Logan spoke up shyly, "I know it's kind of a weird time, but I was just wondering, um, what is gonna happen to us on Monday?" He asked, "when we're all together again? I mean I consider you guys my friends, I'm not wrong, am I?"

"No." Patton said, firmly. How his heart soared.

"So, so on Monday... What happens?" Logan asked.

"Are we still friends, you mean? If we're friends now, that is?" Roman asked.

"Yeah..."

"Do you want the truth?" Roman asked

"Yeah, I want the truth..."

Roman looked down with a shrug, "I don't know. A part of me would like to think that would happen. We'd all hang out on Monday, but there's a part of me that tells me no. I don't think so."

"With all of us or just Virgil?" Janus asked.

Roman looked at Janus, tears in both their eyes which only got worse as Roman said, "with all of you..."

"That's a real nice attitude, Roman." Patton scoffed.

"Oh, be honest, Pat... If Logan came walking up to you in the hall on Monday, what would you do?" Roman asked, making Patton raise an eyebrow.

"I mean picture this, you're there with all the sports. I know exactly what you'd do, you'd say hi to him and when he left you'd cut him all up so your friends wouldn't think you really liked him." Roman said, looking down.

"No... I'd wrap my arm around him..." Patton whispered to himself.

"'Kay, what if I came up to you?" Janus asked, silencing Roman.

"Same exact thing..." He said finally, regret in his voice.

"You are a bitch!" Remus screamed at his twin, making Roman glare.

"Why? 'Cause I'm telling the truth, that makes me a bitch?" Roman asked, teary eyed.

"No!" Virgil cut it, "'cause you know how shitty that is to do to someone! And you don't got the balls to stand up to your friends and tell 'em that you're gonna like who you wanna like!"

Logan had tears in his eyes and Patton took his hand.

"Okay, what about you, you hypocrites!" Roman yelled, at Remus and Virgil.

"Why don't you take Janus to one of your heavy metal vomit parties?" Roman asked, making a crying Janus laugh.

"Or take Logan out to the parking lot at lunch to get high? What about Patton for that matter, what about me?" Roman asked and then looked to Remus.

"Or Remus? What would your friends say if you two-" he pointed between Remus and Virgil, "were to walk down the hall together? They'd laugh their asses off and you'd-" he pointed to Virgil, "probably tell them Remus is your bitch so they'd forgive you for being seen with him! And you'd-" he pointed to Remus next, "probably tell them that Virgil was paying you because nobody'd fuck him so you wouldn't loose your flirtatious image!"

"Don't you ever talk about my friends! You don't know any of my friends, you don't look at any of my friends and you certainly wouldn't condescend to speak to any of my friends!" Virgil yelled, as Elliott was a swell person, "and don't you dare speak about Remus like that!" Virgil yelled.

"So you just stick to the things you know, shopping, nail polish, your father's BMW and your poor - rich - drunk mother in the Caribbean!" Virgil yelled, angrily.

"SHUT UP!" Roman screamed, crying again and kicking Virgil's legs.

"NO YOU SHUT UP!" Virgil screamed back.

"I happen to really like Remus! Hell! He's the reason I'm breaking up with those other guys! I like-like him! So, what's gonna happen when we walk down the hallways at school together, is I'm going to hold his hand! If he allows it!" Virgil confessed, "but with me and you! And the way you're acting! You can forget it! Cause it's never gonna happen! Just bury your head in the sand... And wait for your fuckin' prom!"

"I hate you!" Roman yelled.

Virgil glared, "which is a shame! Because I thought we'd actually get along! But fine! Hate me! Good even!"

It went silent, Remus staring at Virgil wide eyed.

"Then I assume Janus and I are better people than you guys, huh? Us weirdos..." Logan whispered, "do you, would you do that to me?" Logan asked.

"I don't have any friends..." Janus admitted.

"Well if you did?" Logan asked.

"No..." Janus smiled, "I don't think the kind of friends I'd have would mind..."

"I just wanna tell, each of you, that I wouldn't do that... I wouldn't and I will not! 'Cause I think that's real shitty..." Logan said, wiping his teary eyes furiously.

"Your friends wouldn't mind because they look up to us..." Roman said, though he was doubtful. He regretted everything he just said and felt so guilty and stupid.

Logan laughed, "you're so conceited, Roman. You're so conceited. You're so full of yourself, why are you like that?"

"I'm not saying that to be conceited!" Roman said, crying again, "I hate it! I hate having to go along with everything my friends say!"

"Well then why do you do it?" Logan asked, wiping his eyes again.

"I don't know, I don't... You're not friends with the same kind of people that Patton and I are friends with! You just don't understand the pressure that they can put on you!" Roman cried, looking at Logan.

Patton frowned, "Roman! That's awful-"

"I don't understand what?" Logan asked shocked, cutting Patton off, "you think I don't understand pressure, Roman?" That shock and hurt turned to one of anger.

"Well fuck you! Fuck you!" Logan hid his face in his arm, crying. God, he hated emotions, yet around these strangers- no, the people he thought were his friends, he couldn't hide them.

"Know why I'm here today?" He asked. "Do you?! I'm here because Mrs Patty found a gun in the locker..." Admitted Logan.

"Why'd you have a gun in your locker?" Patton asked, scared for Logan.

"I tried. You pull the fuckin' trunk on it and the light's s'posed to go on... And it didn't go on, I mean, I..." Logan said, that F... it haunted him.

"What's the gun for Logan?" Patton asked.

"Just forget it..." Logan mumbled, not wanting to tell them. He didn't want anyone to know.

"You brought it up, Lo!" Patton reminded.

"I can't have an F, I can't have it and I know my parents can't have it! Even if I aced the rest of the semester, I'm still only a B. And everything's ruined for me!" Logan admitted.

"Oh Logan..." Roman said with pity, much to Logan's annoyance.

Logan hit a chair, bruising his knuckles and knocking it over with a loud clatter.

"So I considered my options, you know?" Logan whispered.

"No! Killing yourself is not an option!" Patton cried out.

"Well I didn't do it, did I? No, I don't think so!"

"It was a hand gun?" Janus asked.

Logan his his face in his hands, "no, it was a flare gun, went off in my locker."

"Really?" Remus asked starting to laugh.

"It's not funny..." Logan said, and Remus tried to stop, but that made it worse.

Then Patton began to laugh, then Janus, then Virgil, Logan began laughing desperately trying to stop and finally Roman.

"Yes it is..." Logan admitted, "fuckin' elephant was destroyed."

"You wanna know what I did to get in here?" Janus asked, and everyone looked to him, Roman with a smile, "nothing... I didn't have anything better to do."

Everyone began laughing again, Janus included.

"You're laughing at me!" Janus laughed out.

"No!" Roman laughed.

Patton and Logan leaned on each other, Logan's head on Patton's shoulder, laughing and Virgil and Remus laughed, Remus tucked into Virgil's side.

Janus grinned, "yes you are."
