Gor couldn't help but sigh. He had guessed correctly: Ios had told Slav. He truly did appreciate the gesture -- it made him feel warm and fuzzy inside -- but he wished they would just let it go. Bringing it up over and over again only made things worse. Gor wanted nothing more than to hide in his room and forget about the incident. It was apparent that that wasn't going to happen...
"I am fine," the youngest muttered as he sank down onto his bed. "And nothing happened."
Even with Slav staring him in the face telling him not to say those things, they still came out of his mouth. It was a natural sort of thing. Gor was a terrible liar though...
How all those teachers and playground supervisors had ever believed Gor when he swore the guys weren't bullying him remained a complete mystery.
