×Jamie×
After a busy day at school, Kate gave me a ride home as usual. She parked her car in the driveway of my house when we arrived and we both sat quietly as the roaring of the car died, none of us moving.
She wasn't even looking at me yet I felt like she had something to say. After finding out about Higan, I was expecting her to impale me with questions as soon as I found her but she didn't.
Maybe she just didn't care or think too much about it. I was not ready for that conversation and I had an inkling about what she was about to say - words that were probably true but not something that I would like to hear. I grabbed my bag as I prepared to leave.
"Higan, huh?" She suddenly asked, breaking the silence just as I was about to reach out to the door.
I turned my head to look at her. Her gaze was forward but I noticed how she was trying her best to hold in a grin.
"We are just friends," I d

×Jamie×Saturday came and I woke up unexpectedly early to get ready for the day. I had already received Higan's address before I went to bed last night and to be honest, I was more than excited.This would be the first time since middle school that I've gone to another friend's house. A friend who isn't Kate. I made my look as laid back as possible to avoid looking too eager.A smile played at my lips when I remembered my conversation with Higan the previous night. He cheered me up and his voice sounded husky on phone, like he was whispering in my ear. I felt a shiver ran down my spine and I blushed."I'm straight," I declared, giving myself a mental slap. I like girls. Guys should not think that way about other guys even if the other guy is a messily sexy creation sculpted by the gods with great patience.I zipped up the zipper of my black pants and run my hands down my army green shirt. I got my b

×Higan×"Here," I said as I handed Jamie a plate with two chicken mayonnaise sandwiches on it.He took it without taking his eyes off of the TV and set it on the space on his left. "Thanks."I sat down next to him and looked at the screen to see his progress. Jamie watched the screen with intense concentration as he led his player through the field. His skills at COD weren't that good but I felt a weird sense of pride at watching him try his best.Books?They were abandoned after two hours and a half of studying. It started with me rolling a pencil towards him and him rolling it back. Before we knew it, our studies were forgotten and I offered a game.I taught him a few basics and how some controls work and Jamie was trying his hardest to kill the enemy. He did not strike me as the type of guy to indulge in such things but I could tell that he was having fun even after dying numerous times.
Higan TEN
×Jamie×Hanging out at Higan's place became a usual thing that even the people at home knew that I wouldn't be home on most of the weekends.I came over almost every weekend and it was honestly refreshing. Although I made it clear that I only went there to study, Higan and I also ate, played video games and talked about ourselves.I thought that things would be awkward because of the kiss but even though we brought it up in jokes and teases, it was easily brushed off. Mom didn't say anything about me hanging out with Higan. I was a little unsettled about how she easily accepted it but I was glad that she backed off.My eyes were fixed on the TV screen and my lips were in a thin, irritated line. My player got killed several times and Higan was having the time of his life laughing at my failures."This isn't funny," I complained, turning my head to glare at him."I'm sorry," he said in between laughs. "It'
Higan ELEVEN
×Higan×I hummed a tune from one of my favorite songs as I stepped out of the shower. I grabbed a clean towel and dried myself up before walking into my room to get ready for the day.Today, I was in high spirits. Not only did I score an A+ on a test that I wrote last week but my relationship with Jamie was going well. I couldn't wait to see him and I hoped that our class schedules were not overlapping.I pulled on a black long sleeved shirt and ran a hand through my damp hair. I should probably dry it out completely but I was running late for class. I guess the natural air from driving with the window down would serve its cause.The sound of my doorbell echoed into the apartment, making my brow arch in wonder. Who could it be so early? Room service isn't coming over for another ten to fifteen minutes and I usually eat my breakfast from Starbucks or other coffee shops around.It rang again."Hold on!" I yelled
Higan TWELVE
×Jamie×I tried my best to keep my hands from shaking as I put the last book on the shelf. My heart was racing and having Higan's eyes on me wasn't helping.I wondered if there was something weird with my outfit but I knew that that was an excuse to keep my mind away from Higan. The book almost slipped from my hand but I caught it on time."You okay?" Higan asked from behind me.I let out a nervous laugh. "Yeah." I put the book on the shelf and turned to face him. "All done.""Let's get going then.""No way," I argued. "We haven't talked about what's been bothering you."He chuckled. "You're so stubborn."I crossed my arms over my chest. "My mom says that people who are easily swayed die early.""Fine," he said with an amused grin. "But don't get all pity party on me.""I won't."His smile dropped and he looked at his feet for a moment. It was as if he was mentall
Higan THIRTEEN
×Jamie×"Where are you going anyway?" Darcy asked as she rolled over to her stomach."I'm not sure yet," I answered, turning to look at the girl laying on my bed, but Marcy held my jaw and made me face the front."No moving," she said sternly and continued to work on my hair."Are you sure that this guy isn't secretly shady and is planning to kill you and dump your body somewhere?" Darcy continued firing me with questions.I scoffed. "He isn't.""What makes you so sure?""Well, I see no reason for him to kill me and he's just not that kind of person."When my sisters found out that I was going out today, they were excited and insisted on helping me get ready. I was used to seeing Darcy bring hyper but having her twin join in was a change that I loved seeing. Marcy probably looked forward to it more than I did.I also told Mom about me spending the night with Higan and she
Higan FOURTEEN
×Jamie×We said our farewells to Nico before rushing out of the club. The drive and elevator ride to Higan's apartment was torturous and felt painfully slow as we tried to keep our hands to ourselves before reaching his room.Was it okay to want someone this badly? My body ached to feel him on me and I couldn't properly wrap my head on what was happening. I barely drank the cocktail that I was given earlier so, I was sure that I wasn't drunk.The elevator doors finally slid open and Higan grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the hall, almost bumping into an older woman who was making her way into the elevator.I muttered a quick apology to her and followed him until we stopped in front of his door. He unlocked it and we got in, me entering first as he locked the door behind us.As soon as Higan turned to look at me, we were back into each other's arms as we shared passionate kisses while our bodies burned with d
Higan FIFTEEN
×Jamie×I zipped up my pants and buttoned them up before looking at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. I had worn the clothes that I had brought with me earlier and as much as I liked the long sleeved white t-shirt that was paired with my light grey shorts, I had one problem with it.The shirt couldn't cover the two hickeys that were on my neck. I furrowed my brows as I wondered what I would do about it. Despite promising to be home early, it was past one in the afternoon and I had to leave.I took a shower after having brunch while Higan cleaned up in the kitchen. It felt so homey and comfortable that I honestly wanted to stay longer. knowing my mom, she definitely wouldn't have that so I threw those dreams in the trash."What are you looking at?" Higan asked as he walked out from the bathroom.I looked at him through the mirror and gulped when I noticed that he only had a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair
