Luke had been resisting the urge to burst out crying since Liam shoved him to the floor that afternoon.He blamed himself for letting Liam's sweet words get to him. He blamed himself for not being able to get rid of this feeling he had for him.Liam was all talk.He kept saying that he wanted to get back with Luke, but his actions said otherwise.He stared down at his sprained wrist which was now wrapped around with a bandage and began to think up the lie he would tell Sam when he got back.A few minutes later, he walked into their dorm room, expecting to see Sam but to his surprise, he wasn't there.He heaved a sigh of relief and decided to watch an emotional movie that would move him to tears.Just when he was scrolling past the list of sorrowful movies, the door burst open and Sam came in looking irritated.“What's wrong?”“I think Trudy has broken up with me?”Luke's heart sank, “What? Why?”“She hasn't been replying to my texts and has been avoiding me nonstop. Every time I go to
Megan heaved a deep breath and then knocked on the door.“Coming!”The door was opened a few minutes later by Layla.“Oh, Megan! What a pleasant surprise!” She said, “It's been quite some time since I've seen you.”“Hi, Mrs Williams.” She said awkwardly.“How have you been dear?”“Great.” Megan replied shortly, “Is Kelly in?”“Oh, yeah, she's upstairs in her room,” Layla stepped to the side, “Come on in, dear.”Megan stepped into the house and Layla shut the door. Megan stared around the house and realized just how much she had missed coming over.“Would you like to have some muffins?” Layla asked.“Yes. Thank you.”Layla left her in the foyer and went into the kitchen, then came back with some muffins.“Thank you, Mrs Williams. I'll be heading upstairs now.” Megan strode up the stairs, then down the hall to Kelly's door.She knocked, “Kelly?”No response came.She knocked again, “Kelly?”No response again.“I'm coming in,” She announced, turning the doorknob.Kelly was lying on her
Next Morning “Is it just me or is everyone kind of excited this morning?” Sam asked as he and Luke walked down the school grounds to class.“It's not just you,” Luke replied, “But I don't care.”“Yeah, I know. You always mind your business but not me, hold on. I have to find out.” Sam said, leaving Luke. “Hey, ladies!” He called out to two girls walking to the opposite side, “Hold on!”Luke waited for him by the side as he talked to the girls.He came back a few minutes later.“So, what's the fuss all about?” Luke asked.Sam shook his head, “Never mind. It's stupid. Come on, let's go!”Luke didn't press further, “Okay.”They continued walking.A group of three girls were just in front of them, conversing in excitement.“Aww, Brittany is so lucky!” One of the girls chanted.“Yeah, extremely lucky!” Another added.“Imagine being fucked by Liam Fox! That's like… a one in a lifetime opportunity! I wish it was me!”“Yeah, me too!”“Psh! Don't make me laugh! As if he would ever look your w
“I'm sorry you had to do all that,” Trudy said apologetically as they walked back to campus.“Nah. It's okay.” Luke replied.Another awkward silence.“Was that… was that the first time you kissed a girl?” Trudy asked suddenly with a smile plastered across her face and Luke shook her head.“Uhh…” He thought for a while, “No.”“Ooh! Who was your first? Your girlfriend before you found out you were gay?”“Well, not really.” Luke said, “She was one of the many girls that used to have a crush on me back then. She umm… she was pretty cool actually and I liked her too but not that way though.”“Yeah.”“Back then, I began to realize that I was growing feelings for my then-best friend so I became scared. Scared of ruining our friendship, scared of being openly GAY. So I used her to experiment.” He paused and chuckled, “Thinking back now I feel bad toying with her emotions. When I kissed her then, I wasn't excited or enjoyed it as I thought I would. So then I realized that my then-best friend w
Two Hour Earlier“Okay, we'll stop here for now.” Coach Maddox said, making the boys gather around. “Since some of you have class, I'll have to let you guys go. Can we resume practice this evening?”The boys stared amongst themselves.“Yeah, we could do that.”“Yeah, sure.” They chorused.“Okay, see you guys later.” Coach Maddox said and dismissed them.Aiden turned around and headed to the locker room. He unlocked her locker and brought out his bag to change.He unzipped his locker and found his favorite drink alongside some burgers inside the bag.“Really?” He muttered, instinctively knowing who placed those stuff there.He walked over to Liam who had been watching him from his peripheral vision.“Really Liam?” He asked, “You're gonna bribe me to be your friend now?”Liam gave a nervous smile, “Look, Aiden, I fucked up. I know that. Like someone I know would say, “We're humans. So we can make mistakes.”. I made a mistake and I'm sorry. I don't wanna lose you too.”“Bro, you sound ga
Next Morning “Anything from the news?” Luke asked anxiously as he stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in towelSam shook his head, “No.”“Online?”“Nope. Nothing. Nada.”“Then that means he's not dead, right?”Sam nodded, “Yeah.”But Luke still wasn't relieved.“Even if he's not dead, he should be at least taken to the hospital, yeah? And the police would have gotten involved. But why is there nothing?”“What if they didn't call the cops because they know that they're the offenders? And there were a lot of eyewitnesses? Ever thought about that?”Luke sighed and then proceeded to put on his clothes.“If the cops aren't involved then, that's a good thing but also not a good thing.’“What do you mean?”“I know Ajax. He's an obnoxious bully, I don't think he'll rest till he finds me.”“Oh please, give me a break.”“Miami is way too big. There's no way he would find you. You worry too much. Besides, you have me. I can fight for you.”“Aww, that's so sweet.” Luke grabbed his phone and hea
