3 Confused

The class began to drag on and a headache began to wash over me like the tide washes over the beach. The teacher droned on about something with with sentence structure but I honestly could care less, my mind was too clouded with thoughts of what had transpired this morning from being blackmailed into a pet for Boss to meeting Juan and getting his number. I begin to feel my face begin to burn as the image of Juan enters my mind, blush spreading across my face as I instinctively cover my face with my hands to try and hide my emotions. I continue to lose myself in thought as I begin to block out reality and daydream of home, though my terrible economic status I was happy, but I worked my ass off to get here and Ill be damned if I don't make it through this school. As I continued into my head before I feel a bit of a numb feeling in my arm before I begin to comeback to reality.

"Hugo, Earth to Hugo, come back to the class Hugo" Mr.Kang looked down at me as I slowly joined the class once more. My peers began to laugh as embarrassment over took me and my face turned a deep crimson, I could see Boss snickering as his hard gaze lightened up and a slight smirk. This made me a bit relived as Mr.Kang wrangled the class back to the the subject at hand'

"Now Hugo, I asked the class to describe love and it seems you've so willingly volunteered to read what your own definition of love is, oh and for fun I'd like you to not take paper with you, just define it off the top of your head."

I couldn't help but let out a gulp as I made my way to the front of the class, wary of the eyes that watch me, their judging glare, the rich looking down on the poor. As I stepped forward anxiety began to overtake me, my heart beat quickened and my throat began to close shut. I began to fidget as I shakily begin to speak

"U-Um hello My name is name is H-Hugo E-E-Ellet, I-In my o-own words love i-is um...."

I began to freeze up, my anxiety gripping onto me and taking a hard hold on me. I began to feel my stomach begin to rise before I felt the burn in my throat. I quickly bolted out of the judgementel gazes of others. The thudding of my heart is all I can hear, my body feels heavy as I stumble into the bathroom. I make my way into an empty small and begin to puke. Losing what little breakfast I had and puking up more, after what seemed like a prolonged eternity of puking I laid back against the wall and began to try to steady my breathing. I couldn't help but put my head between my knees an close my eyes hoping that not only did the acidic taste goes away but the judgemental stares of the class. Damn the rich, damn them and their money, they can all go to hell! I let out a sob with that thought before I heard the bathroom door open with a creek and the fall of feet. I looked up from my little black world and watched as the pair of legs approached the stall I resided in when a knock befell the stall door.

"Hey Pe- I mean Hugo, come on out, no reason for you to be losing your shit over some little presentation. Though it was a bit funny..."

The masculine calm voice of Boss rang throughout the bathroom. I had no energy to even reply to him, letting out a squeak before my throat closed up once more, tears once more stinging my eyes as I sobbed a little more. Without any warning Boss had claimed over the bathroom stall walls and was standing before me with his angry gaze. He looked over me before letting out a sigh and letting his scary gaze soften, I tried to not meet his gaze but the scary look he carried almost forced me to meet his.

"Come on, get off this piss covered floor and let me take you to the nurses office, It looks like you've lost more that just your lunch."

He bent down for what I assumed at first was a hand but he instead picked me up bridal style, carrying me out of the bathroom like I was some life sized doll, paying no mind to those we passed that gave us weird looks. I couldn't help but be confused, he was being kind to me which didn't make sense but the way he held me was gentle and with that of care. I could feel his heat as he walked down the halls and into the nurse who was attending to another student. I could hear his heart beat at a steady rhythm as he held me and waited for the nurse to finish with the other student. I began to feel hot as Boss kept me in his arms, unable to make any sense of what the hell was going on that called for such a drastic change in character. After about two minutes of waiting Boss laid me on the bed and went to talk to the nurse, what the hell is going on? The nurse smiled and quickly handed me a bottle of water, a bread roll and some medicine before Boss sat on the bed and looked at me.

"Hugo, you understand that you had an anxiety attack? A full blown one too..... Sigh, please don't scare people like that, me especially. You had me scared to death."

He began to rub his temples as he tried to straighten his thoughts but I was the one who needed to straighten my thoughts!

"U-um boss I-"

He quickly cut me off

"It's not it's Troy Sharp, call me Troy. You may be my pet but I still want you to call me my name. The other f**ks are too stupid to call me it in fear."

I fell silent as I finally learned my blackmailer's name, unable to fathom that he had a name and he was being so kind

"If you think I'm being nice your funny Hugo, I'm simply treating you like a person but no matter what your my pet. If I want something from you Ill get it, thats for sure"

He chuckled and pushed me against the bed, forcing me to lie down as he weirdly began to play with my hair in boredom. The feeling of having someone play with my long hair was nice, unfamiliar yet put me at ease as I began to feel my eyelids get heavy as a curtain of black was pulled over my eyes. This has to be a dream.....
