High School is Hell

[wearebothangry]

 Bruce stared at the huge building with a sense of dread. He loved the academic side of school, the order of numbers, the exploration of science and of course the mountains of words found in books. But he loathed the people. Teachers would get too nosy about his bruises and the other students thought he was weird and ignored him. He ducked his head and headed inside praying no one decided he was going to be their target today, being his father's target was bad enough.

"It's cute," Bruce says with a smile, "like you." He puts the helmet on and has to adjust it a little bit in order to be able to see out of it because he's so skinny. He swings his leg over and settles on waiting for Clint. "Does this go as fast as a motorcycle?"

[nexttarget]

"No..." He laughs settling in front of Bruce and starting it up. "No where near as fast... I'm not allowed a bike... yet, Phil says safety classes, then lessons, and graduation first." He snorts shaking his head, as they pull out of the school lot.

It doesn't take them long to get to the burger place a bunch of their class mates and other people from school already there.

"Sounds fair," Bruce says, "maybe you can teach me to drive the scooter while you do all that." He gets off and pulls the helmet off running his fingers through his hair.

"Sure, probably wont be until summer..." He says holding the door open for Bruce as they head in and Clint finds an empty booth, the waitress dropping off a couple of menus.

"You wanna share something or are you hungry hungry?" Clint asks leaning his leg against Bruce's under the table.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce is starving sometimes he and his mom don't have enough to eat because his dad experiments away what money can make but he doesn't want to stress Clint's fiances either. "We can share something," he says, "I don't even know what's good here."

Clint thinks for a minute and looks over the menu, "Their Oreo Shakes are really good... I could go for some grease too... Mottzerlla Sticks?" He smiles easily the waiter comes over with his note pad.

"Two Oreo shakes and an order of cheese sticks, please." He smiles and he can see their friends grinning stupidly at them.

Bruce is trying his hardest not to stay red all the time. He isn't used to all the people staring at him. He plays with the placemat. "They keep acting like we are Romeo and Juliet or something," he mutters.

"God I hope not... that didn't end well for either of them... though I wouldn't say no to you climbing into my window at night..." He says and then goes red when he realizes what he said.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce squeaks and lets his head drop into his arms. "Clint," he mutters his neck completely red, "I haven't even kissed anyone yet...ever."

[nexttarget]

Clint flushes a little more. "No I didn't mean it like that..." He says licking his lips. "I mean I haven't really kissed anyone yet either." He says biting his lower lip. "Only once at Archery Camp...and that failed so hard." He rambles.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce looks up. "What was it like...you know before it failed."

[nexttarget]

"Nice... kind of... Until I found out he was doing on a dare." Clint snorts, "He was just trying to out me." Clint says as the cheese sticks and shakes come.

[wearebothangry]

"I'm sorry that's...awful," Bruce says softly, "and mean...really mean."

[nexttarget]

"It's alright it kind of backfired." Clint shrugs a little, "I have a feeling my second kiss will be a lot more enjoyable." He smiles a little as the waiter sets the milkshakes and cheese sticks down on the table.

[wearebothangry]

"Really," Bruce says getting a little bit bolder, "this new guy must be pretty special then."

[nexttarget]

"He is, it's quiet and nice, and soo smart." Clint smiles a little taking a sip of his shake, "And really cute."

[wearebothangry]

"Cute huh," Bruce grins, "how jealous should I be of this guy?"

[nexttarget]

"If your not careful, he might sweep me up off my feet." Clint laughs shaking his head a little taking another sip of his shake humming a little.

"His names Bruce, maybe you know him."

[wearebothangry]

"I dunno I think I do know him. He's a bit clumsy and shy. I hope that isn't a deal breaker," Bruce says sipping his shake.

[nexttarget]

"No and I don't think he's clumsy... and the shy is cute." Clint smiles, "I mean, I'm not one of the smart kids, and I need these..." He says gesturing to his hearing aides, "Hope that's not a deal breaker."

[wearebothangry]

"No it isn't," Bruce says, "deaf is just a part of who you are it's not all of it."

[nexttarget]

Clint nods a little and smiles at Bruce a bit, looking like he's relaxed a little. "Try your shake, let e know if I did good on picking for you." He laughs a little.

[wearebothangry]

Bruce takes another sip of his shake and smiles."It's good I don't really eat sweets," he admits.

[nexttarget]

Clint flusters a little, "Look at me already fucking up our first date... I can get you something else, if you want..." He offers biting his lower lip a little.

[wearebothangry]

"No it's fine you didn't know," Bruce says, "and I don't eat them because we can't afford them. My mom and I....we have to live on whatever money my dad can make so.....extra stuff doesn't happen alot."
