Chapter 03- The Event
I woke up early the next day to catch a bus to reach school. I left at 6 and managed to reach by 6:30. It was still too early, so I went to meet toria. I think she needed to know everything that had happened.
I knocked on her dorm door. Maybe she wouldn't be there and did not have to explain.......
"Hey," she yawned, "you're back!"
"Get dressed, lots to tell you." I said pushing her back in.
She came out fifteen minutes later looking like her beautiful self again. We went down for breakfast and I told her he entire thing -- all the events and every single detail. She looked at me, nodding her head at occasions like she really cared. That's what I liked about toria, even if she didn't care shed at least pretend.
"Well it's a good thing you've decided to come out about the whole thing. I don't think I could've kept it in that Long.....just kidding!" I think she added the 'just kidding' after seeing my mortified expression.
"Yeah, well I think It's come to that now." I said looking at my hands. "I'm going back to my aunts' till the end of thanksgiving."
"By the way, Chris and I was a onetime thing, you can have him. Though I must tell you, he isn't that great in bed." She winked.
"Well I don't think he's going to go for me; not after what I told him. Damn, Now I can't even get him into a threesome with him!" I laughed out.
"Okay, so I'll see you when you and I are back in town. You remember right, imp Going to my parents' house." GOD! How could I have forgotten? She had been reminding me for months. I did my most convincing nod and smiled abnormally.
We stood up and I gave her one big hug before I turned towards my own dorm room.
I went in and took out the suitcase I had brought when I first came here. I shoved all my stuff into the suitcase, all the books too and zipped it up. I wrote a note for my roommate. Not that it really mattered because we hardly ever spoke. I think the only words we've ever exchanged are sup and hey.
I pulled out the pen drive from my project and headed towards the north wing. It seemed like I wasn't the only student leaving for the week, Almost all the dorms were empty. It Too late for breakfast and too early for class. It's that boring period of time where you do nothing.
I knocked on the staff room door and gave my geology teacher my project. I wished him happy holidays and headed back to the bus stop. Once again I was alone there. My luck always seems to suck because Stan drove by......again.
"Hehe funny seeing you here!" He grinned. "Btw, We need to talk."
I got into the car and he sped off.
"You lied about where you lived." Stan said. His voice strained with emotion. Why was he getting so emo?
"Well you didn't tell me you were gay." I retorted.
"Well you didn't tell me either, and are we supposed to announce it before we say anything- Hi I'm Stan and I'm gay. Please, I can be your friend only once you knew that." he said anger filling his voice.
"No, but who told you I was gay? I asked.
"Chris did," he said plainly.
The words were like a thunderclap. My face was hot and I was pissed. Anger filled up inside me I felt like a boiling pot of water. Why was I getting this angry? it was because All the trust I had for him, every ounce of it was lost. Was all that yesterday just a charade? I guessed so much that I was just another guy.
I felt an ache in my stomach. I felt like punching that perfect face of his and then hanging him to a truck kick him till my leg was down his throat. I was enraged! I specifically told him not to tell anyone and he goes and tells someone. I balled up my fist and closed my eyes trying to stop myself from screaming.
"Ok, he didn't tell me.......I'm gay remember I have a fairly strong gaydar. I just wanted to see your reaction." He smiled apologetically. If this was idea of a joke I wasn't digging it.
"Huh?" I asked baffled. "So he didn't tell you?" All the anger shifted to Stan who was grinning.
"No darling, I knew you'd tell him. I've seen the way you look at him and just now I proved myself right yet again." He patted his back.
"How so?" I asked
"Well first of all, I've seen the way you look at him. Your jaw drops with every word he says. Yes you are that obvious. you fisted your hands and were almost about to explode and cry and when I told you. You are obviously, if not in love with him, are kidding yourself." He grinned.
"No I'm not he's just.....hot. You agree don't you?" I asked.
"Well each ones choice is different." He winked at me, "right now you look like a treat and I fancy shy twink boys."
"Shut up Stan!" I said. I looked at him for a couple of minutes. For the first time I really noticed how good looking he really was. He had swift brown hair that was neatly combed into the 'mafia style' slicked back.
He looked like those models posing for a photo shoot. His square jaw, his whole lips and that always present semi smile. He was really handsome.
I snapped out of whatever was going on. We were almost there, to our ritualistic spot of Weston towers.
"I'm not going to ask you where you live till you feel comfortable enough to tell me yourself." He smiled.
