GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 140: THE DAY AFTER
THE DAY AFTERThe morning after homecoming somehow seemed to be completely ordinary. This was the first thing Ethan realized that day. There were no decoration-bearing students running through the hallways, there were no people who ran from one place to another in an attempt to get to the class before the dance started and no one discussing anyone with anyone else. The doors of the gymnasium were closed and the emptiness inside the room covered with scattered decorations was hidden from sight.Everything seemed to return to its usual form. Or, at least, pretended to be.Ethan entered the school building with his backpack thrown over his shoulder and immediately noticed Blake standing by his locker, talking to his teammate. Ethan somehow slowed down.Blake noticed him almost immediately and their eyes met across the hallway. A faint smile appeared on his face and Ethan responded to it, even though it felt a bit different from what it was at the homecoming. There was music, lighting and
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 139: THE NIGHT THEY COULD FORGET
THE NIGHT THEY COULD FORGETThe following day came with a special sort of anticipation at Brookwoods High. As soon as Ethan entered the school grounds, he saw that the entire school was ready for something. Strands of silver lights hung above the entrance to the school, blue-and-white decorations replaced the school flags, and a couple of students' council members carried boxes towards the gym.Homecoming. Ethan had almost forgotten about it.With all the recent events – the rumors, the blackmail, the constant feeling of somebody watching – school events had ceased to exist as such and became only background noise that he had barely paid any attention to. Now, however, there was no way of ignoring it. Students talked about the dance already, girls comparing their dresses in the corridor and boys discussing who was going to win the homecoming game. Some guy had even brought a portable speaker to the cafeteria, and he could hear some music playing from somewhere near the gym.Ethan adju
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 138: SOMEONE IS WATCHING
SOMEONE IS WATCHINGEthan walked even after he was far past the gates. The road leading away from Brookwoods High School was crowded with students, but they soon broke off into smaller groups, and Ethan walked along the sidewalk, with a heavy backpack hanging from his shoulder, and his phone tucked deep into his pocket.He could still feel it there. That last message wasn't leaving his mind.DON'T TELL BLAKE.He had no idea who was sending them, how they had managed to get the video, how they knew about Blake, or how long they had been watching them. But one thing was starting to become obvious: this wasn't random. Someone had been paying attention.Ethan got to the end of the street and stopped at the pedestrian crossing. Cars were passing along the road in an endless stream, the sound of tires hissing over the pavement, and he turned back and looked at the school, barely visible between the buildings.Everything seemed perfectly normal. There were students leaving the school through
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 137: NORMAL MORNING
NORMAL MORNINGEthan hardly got any sleep during the night; mostly he lay on the back in his bed with his eyes closed but still looking at the ceiling. His cell phone was lying on the desk, and he kept wondering if it would ring at any moment.But it stayed silent. Somehow, it was even more unpleasant than anything else that happened tonight.Those unknown messages kept playing in his head, particularly, the last one.THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE VIDEO ANYMORE.Ethan had been reading the text so often that he could almost hear its words now. What do they want? Where is the video? What do they mean by *you should have listened*?Several times, Ethan had decided to tell Blake. However, each time he went to his friend and started typing some message to him and deleting it right away.*Something happened after school yesterday.*Deleted.*Someone showed me something.*Deleted.*Are you awake?*Deleted.Finally, Ethan decided to leave it till the morning.Morning came too soon.Ethan looked into h
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 136: GET THE TRUTH OUT
GET THE TRUTH OUT By Monday morning, the rumor had taken yet another turn. Ethan could tell before he even got into the main building–he could feel it in the way people looked at him. It wasn't the glaring that he'd started to get accustomed to because at least he'd known why; now it was different. People stopped talking to him, then began talking again in hushed voices once he passed by. Two girls standing near the trophy case looked at him, then looked at each other before one of them whispered something to the other.Ethan walked further, his fingers squeezing his backpack strap.He had tried all through Sunday to keep the school away from his thoughts. He had finished his homework, helped at home, even read ahead in one of his textbooks. But nothing worked. Every time his mind emptied of everything except for the school, the same thing would come back. Blake. Gossip. Glaring. The possibility that they know more than they should. Despite everything, Blake became the one whom Ethan
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 135: THE THING ABOUT BEING SEEN 2
THE THING ABOUT BEING SEEN 2For the first twenty minutes, Ethan and Blake worked almost normally–Ethan controlled the laptop while Blake tried to connect it with the projector, swearing under his breath every time the cable slipped from his hands."You're doing it all wrong," Ethan said, looking up from the laptop screen."I'm not," Blake said, struggling with the connection."You are.""I know how to plug in a cable," Blake said, showing him his hand."You've been trying to plug it in upside down for thirty seconds," Ethan said, pointing at the cable.Blake looked at the cable in his hand, then at Ethan, and at the cable again. "It's a defective one," he said finally.Ethan laughed, putting the laptop aside. "Don't blame the cable," he said."I can blame whoever manufactured it," Blake said, dropping the cable on the table."You're hopeless," Ethan said, walking toward the desk and picking up the cable."And yet you keep helping me," Blake said, watching him with a small smile.Etha

GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY Chapter 3: THE TASTE OF REGRET
THE TASTE OF REGRETThe house carried the strong smell of beer–one that Ethan knew too well. It mixed with the faint scent of cigarette smoke clinging to the couch cushions and curtains, welcoming him as he opened the door. Coughing, he pushed through the ash cloud as he prayed his brother was alr

KISS ME LIKE YOU HATE MECoach Daniels' sharp whistle rang out, echoing across the empty court. The sound of squeaking shoes and quickened breath filled the space as everyone huddled at a corner. “Alright, y’all pair up,” Coach Daniels shouted in a thick southern accent, as he grabbed a basketball
GOLDEN BOY, BAD BOY CHAPTER 1: DREAMS, DESKS AND DIRTY THOUGHTS
DREAMS, DESKS AND DIRTY THOUGHTSHis hands were everywhere and his kisses were like fire, burning with passion. Blake ran his hands over Ethan's body before pushing him hard, pinning him against the locker. The cold, metal surface bit at Ethan's skin through his shirt but he didn't mind it. He wan
