Chapter 48 - 48

It was the first day of school today, Brandon was excited too since he would get to see his beloved boyfriend at school. He was a little sad that they weren't going to a boarding school but a day school one. He got up very early in the morning and did his morning routine, putting on his uniform he left the room and went downstairs.

He didn't bother to have breakfast as he wasn't hungry so he just headed out. "Someone is in a good mood," Jack said helping him into the car.

"I feel happy after a long time. I can finally the silver lining to all my problems. And you, have you figured out how to return to the present?" he asked him concerned that Jack was stuck there with him where he didn't belong.

"Not yet, I would understand if you couldn't return by why am I being kept here," he said and sighed.

The ride to school was calming, he had already given in to his fate and stopped fighting it. He was just going to embrace everything as they come. He was very happy that he and Reiner were on good terms now. Even though he had tricked him into being his boyfriend.

He felt like the happiest man in the universe for finally giving his relationship with him a name and now that the two of them will begin their journey as a couple.

They arrived at school, Brandon got out of the car and looked ahead at the building that will teach him all he needed to know for the future. "I will be going now. I have a few things to look into but have a good day in school," Jack said and drove off.

Brandon went into the school. He wore his cold and aloof face and walked ahead, he walked into the hallways of the school and the hallways became quiet. There were murmurs and whispers from the students which he ignored. The girls were giggling in the background as he walked and it annoyed him.

He went to the office and got his schedule. He walked around trying to find his class, his eyes also searched for him in the crowd. He had only two things to achieve in school, be the best in school and be the best for Reiner.

He found his first class which was a history class. He smiled and walked in before the bell rang, on entering the class the students shushed down for him. It was a welcome he wasn't used to since he was always the one no one paid attention to but since he came back everyone tracts like this wherever he goes.

He looked into the classroom and saw an empty seat next to the window at the back and also spotted Reiner sitting on the third row next to the wall. He smiled at the male but he looked away from him. He walked to the back of the class and took a seat, he removed his history book from his bag and kept it on the table.

The history teacher came into the classroom. "Good morning class, I am your history and homeroom teacher Mr. Fitz, and welcome," he said in one breath and wrote his name on the bed.

"Now why don't we introduce ourselves to each other so that we can all be friends. Turn to your neighbors and introduce yourself and shake hands," he said and the students compiled.

"Hi, I'm Brandon," he said to the person next to him while out the window.

"I'm Charlie," he said making Brandon turn his head to meet him. He was so surprised to his former best friend sitting next to him in class.

"It's nice to meet you," he said honestly and sincerely.

"Same here," Charlie replied nervously. The class was quiet and everyone had their eyes watching the heir of the Avery family interact with a nobody. They didn't expect that of him but they were a little relieved to know that he was an easy-going person.

The lesson continued after the introductions, Brandon had his eyes digging holes into Reiner's back while the boy was doing his best to ignore him. He was all smiles seeing how tensed Reiner was, it brought him joy that he was affecting him.

"Aren't you taking notes?" Charlie asked him noticing his lack of concentration in the lesson.

"I already have them," he said passing his book to him. Charlie opened his notebook and saw there was already the whole month's work and assignments noted down with neat handwriting. He was impressed by it, he had the impression that he was another slacker who only relying on his father's wealth and was not going to put in any effort in his studies.

"Wow, this is amazing," he exclaimed out loud getting the attention of the whole class.

The teacher turned to face them. "Charlie, do you mind telling the class what is so amazing?" the teacher asked.

"It's nothing, sir. I was just thinking that all the information that you are giving us is so amazing," he said and the teacher smiled. He put Brandon's book back on the table and went back to his work. The class continued with no more interruptions, once the bell rang the teacher stepped out followed by the students.

Brandon got up from his seat and rushed out of the room to ran after Reiner. He wanted to speak to him but the boy seemed to be ignoring him.

"Brandon," Charlie called out to him. "You forgot your bag," he said panting from all the running that he had done to chase him.

"Thank you," he said gratefully.

"Who were you chasing after. Why did you run out of the room like that?"

"It's nothing, I was just exercising. Now tell me is there a place we can have our lunch in peace?" he asked. Charlie stared at him like he was mentally disturbed.

"The cafeteria is that way," he told and gave him directions. "I don't eat there, I will see you," he said and walked away.

"Good, I don't like cafeterias either. I will come with you," he said and walked by his side. They went into the music room that was empty and far away from the rest of the students and took their seats to eat. Charlie borough out his sandwich and juice box while Brandon took out his lunch box which was packed with five stars cuisines from the main dish to dessert.

Charlie looked at his dishes with a watery mouth. He looked down at his dish and felt down. "Wanna switch?" Brandon asked noticing his change of mood. Not waiting for the other's reply he took the sandwich and juice from his and slide his dish to him. He ate the food humming his favorite tune.

"Eat," he instructed. Charlie took the spoon and dug into the food, he ate it greedily due to delicious it was. Being from a poor family meant that he never had the chance to eat such food in his life.

"If you like the food so much then tomorrow I will pack two lunch boxes," Brandon said to him and he smiled. He was happy that at least Brandon was nice and trying to bully him like all the other kids. Grateful that he treated him like a friend and a human being.
