the unusual

"This is no April fools joke," Cory still didn't understand why Roger didn't want to do something about the Jeremy situation. "He's a bully, plain and simple."

"You're probably right," Roger just said, but he couldn't see himself explaining this to the Dean or anyone else. "It was just his way of showing me, he really liked me." That sounded so crap. "He's got issues. All right. I don't know if that's the only way he's ever been treated when it comes to guys. I dunno. But he's gay. And well lets just say he brings gay bashing to a whole new level. Evidently. Lets just leave it alone."

"What if he doesn't leave you alone?" Cory's eyes lit as he looked at Roger's face. It was healing, but slowly.

"I know I look like shit."

"Yes, you do and when people look at you they think the worst." Cory told him.

"Like what? You beat me up?" Roger shrugged.

"That we have people in our school that aren't tolerant." Cory sighed.

"We have a good school. Granted, it took them forever to come around, but once they got the GLAD rules and whatever, everything is cool." Especially, since Kelsey was helping out. She was neutral and now they had a neutral teacher to mentor the club as well, too.

"Its just I'd love to beat the shit out of this guy now." Cory found himself saying. "I mean, how come some feel they have to have to have a power like that over someone. He's warped. Completely."

They were going to the Dean about this before it was too late.
