After The GameA few minutes after Luke exited the basketball arena.The game was now over and as expected, Raven College won the tournament courtesy of Liam.They were now inside the locker room, changing into their clothes.“Hey, Liam, why did you run off like that?” One of his team players, Adkins enquired.“Yeah, that's true. What happened?” The others chorused, coming closer.“Nothing happened.” Liam deadpanned, resuming to put on his shoes.“But you don't look okay.” Watson probed further, “After you came back, you had a hard time focusing on the game.”“Did you notice that too?” Jacob enquired, “I thought it was only me.”“Is there something you'd like to tell us, mate?” Edwards asked, “You know we're here for you right?”Liam paused and sighed, “Look, guys, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. We won the game didn't we?”“It's not about the game we are worrying about.” Edwards stated, “It's you.”“Yeah, that's right.” The others chimed in.“Okay, I thought I saw someone
Luke stared blankly at the middle-aged professor with dark hair along with some streaks of gray as he moved about the hall, giving lectures.But Luke barely listened to what he was spewing.It's been over a week now and Liam has refused to get off his mind. Although he doesn't think about him every minute of the day, he only comes to his mind occasionally.He sighed and then realized that stupid Sam wasn't in class.Luke shook his head.That boy!He never attended class, only women. That seems like his purpose in life. What was he going to do with him?He has been acting in character ever since the blind date, maybe it was out of guilt and surprisingly, he hasn't brought any other girl into their room.He hoped it would stay that way.His phone beeped and he stared at the text.“Hey, is it just me or have you been avoiding me lately?” The text read, “I don't see you anymore. Can we meet up?”Luke didn't even need to check who the texter was.It was from Travis.After that date, he has
“Are you serious?” Sam asked stupidly in disbelief, “That son of a bitch is now a student here?”“Do I look like I'm joking?”“That motherfuck…” Luke pulled Sam back as he clenched his hands into fists and made towards the door.“Hey, don't tell me you're trying to go and fight him?”“That son of a bitch clearly needs someone to beat some sense into him!” Sam snarled, “What the hell is he thinking transferring here.”“You don't need to fight him.” Luke persuaded, “I'll never give him a chance.”“I'm just so mad right now. Even after all the pain he put you through, he still has the guts to show his face here.”A smile escaped Luke's lips.It made him a little exhilarated that Sam was genuinely angry for him. At least he has Sam. The one person he could depend on.“I'll be okay.”He noticed Sam's clothes for the first time and his nice cologne.“Hey, are you going somewhere?” He probed.“Didn't you listen to my voice note?” Sam asked, adjusting his cape, “I'm going on a date.”Luke ra
“Everyone, this over here is Liam, he'll be joining this team, starting today.” Coach Maddox introduced, gesturing towards Liam. “I suppose you all know of him since he beat you not only in our school tournament but also on March Madness.”“Hi everyone. I hope we all get along.” Liam said.The guys came in for a handshake and manly hugs.“Welcome to the team bro.”“What's up?”They all came in and introduced themselves.“Liam will be picking a team.” The Coach said, “Which team will you be joining boy?”Liam picked one.“Alright then, let the practice begin.”The players spent the next hours running around the court as they tried to score for their teams. But since Liam was here, the other team had no chance of scoring.Meanwhile, some of the girls sat down on the courtside seats and cheered for him while some ogled at him.“You're amazing bro,” Aiden gushed in admiration. The practice was now over and they were in the locker room, changing. “The way you move in the court effortlessly
Ring ring!The school dismissal bell rang and the students got to their feet and began to stumble out of the class.Kelly, Luke's younger sister packed her books into her bag. She got to her feet and was about to plug in her earphone when she heard her name from the loudspeaker.“Kelly Williams, report to the principal office, immediately.”She sighed, already knowing her offense… or rather defense.She walked out of the class and strolled down the hallway to the principal's office. She reached and knocked.“Yes, come on, Kelly.”She turned the doorknob and walked in.Seated on seats in front of the principal were three boys alongside a girl.The boys had swollen injuries and marks on their faces and necks while the girl had a five finger imprinted on her cheek.This was all Kelly's handwork.She smirked in satisfaction as she watched them.“Kelly, take a seat.” The principal, a tall, willowy with platinum hair said, gesturing Kelly to seat.Kelly obliged.“Now Kelly, remind me, this
“Hey, Mom.” Kelly greeted as she stepped into the house.Her Mom, Layla, was in the kitchen preparing dinner.“Hey,” Layla replied, her back still turned to Kelly, “Your principal called, she said you got into a fight… what am I saying? She said you beat up your classmates, is that true?”“Yes.”“Why did you do it?”“Because they were calling Luke derogatory names. I had enough and I took matters into my own hands.” Kelly explained.“Oh, is that right?” Layla's tone was now disinterested. She moved about the kitchen, “Go upstairs to your room. I'll call you when dinner is ready.”Kelly sighed, “You never talk about Luke Mom, don't you think it's time you and Dad take him in again?”Layla gave her no response.“He's your son you know? It's been two years Mom. Two long years. And you haven't heard from your son nor spoken to him.” Kelly's voice broke, “It's so not fair.”“As your Dad said, we take him back once he decides he stops being gay,” Layla replied sternly.Kelly let out a bitte
Luke said goodbye to Kelly and shut the laptop.He sighed helplessly, leaning back in his chair and staring up at the ceiling.The door opened and he snapped his head towards it.Sam stood by the door, looking like a whole new person, a gleam of excitement plastered all over his face.Luke sat straight, “Did something happen?”Sam shut the door and crossed the room, then lay on his bed. Luke got to his feet and walked up to Sam's bed.“Did something happen?” He repeated the question.Sam sat up, “Guess what?”“What?”“No, I need you to guess.”“Uh… you finally got laid?”Sam grimaced and rolled to the other side of the bed like a teenager in love.“I have a girlfriend.” He finally announced.“What?”“You heard right. I have a girlfriend!” He gushed.Luke furrowed his brows, “You don't do girlfriends, Sam. You do fuckfriends.” Luke paused and wondered if a word like that existed.“There's a first time for everything,” Sam said.“Well, I'm happy for you.” Luke declared, heading back to
Liam lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling.He expected getting Luke to forgive to be hard, but he hadn't expected it to be this hard.It made him realize just how much Luke hated him.Luke had to drop some of his classes just so he couldn't cross paths with him. It's been over a week now and he hasn't seen Luke.He's been avoiding him like the plague.What was he going to do to make him get close to Luke? He wondered, almost in frustration.He'd very much prefer not having any food for the day than not seeing Luke. Seeing Luke makes him happy.Argh!He grunted, rolling to the other side.If Caleb was here he would suggest the best solution to this.God, how much he missed Caleb.He sat up. Yes, he should call Caleb!Fuck! Why hasn't he think of it?Just then, the door opened and his roommate, Asher walked in. Asher was a black American with dark messy long hair, a brawny physique and a pinched nose.He was a literal gym freak and had just come back from the gym. He looked sweat

Luke swung his leg off the bed and shook his head. He has to get his mind off Liam one way or another.And the only way to do that was to watch a show or something.He walked to his desk and turned on his laptop. He spent the next five minutes searching for the right show to watch.He finally found the perfect one.Ten minutes into the movie, he realized that he wasn't focusing.His mind kept drifting off back to Liam.Fuck!He cursed and slammed his laptop. He pushed his hair backward and stared up at the ceiling.Since watching a show won't work, then studying will. He brought out his textbooks and began to flip them through.But again, his mind kept drifting off to Liam… the way he hugged him, the way he was crying, his jawline, his cobalt blue eyes he used to drown in…Fuck!Luke groaned again, frustratedly and slammed his textbooks shut.He was slowly losing his mind and it infuriated him. Liam had now occupied his mind like a fucking dark cloud!He sprang to his feet.This would
