"Urm, you once masturbated?" It was Miguel's turn to be dazed this time
"Yes, it was a battle for me, especially when I tried to get rid of it. You look quite surprised including you Rachael," Andrew chuckled, bringing Rachael out of her reverie.
"I am amazed actually. In short, I admire you. The fact that you were able to voice out that you have been in my situation and were able to stop the act gives me the confidence that I can do this too," Andrew smiled at Miguel's words.
"I am glad you pointed this out. I hope you can tell us a little bit about your experiences, how you were able to do the right thing at the end," Rachael finally talked.
"I was about thirteen years when I was in a situation like that of Miguel's. My mum was not always around and was kind of new in the environ

Making your heartbeat only at the sight of that person.That was the case with Andrew. He became attracted to Caleb at the time, he requested they talk together. Andrew was feeling lonely then since her mum was going out with another man, and they would soon get married. And then boom, the vibes, talking, the smile he shared with Caleb turned to a forbidden feeling for him.'Same-sex attraction itself is not bad, as long as you never gave in to homosexual acts and only controlled your feelings,' That was the phenomenon Andrew followed when he realized his feelings for the same sex.

There are times when questions brings nothing but trigger your thoughts and imaginations. It makes you think, and keep thinking until you get an answer to it. Sometimes wrong, sometimes right. "Like seriously Joy? Your questions are a little bit far. Why would you say that?" Rachael felt slightly different about Joy's questions.To her, it was the wrong thing to do at the wrong time. Kevin gently patted her, as she just stared at Joy, who wore a frown. Andrew, on the other hand was not angry with Joy's use of words in her questions. It only made him meditate for a while, and for some reasons, the scene of Caleb flashed to his memory lane. That only made him hurt, as it felt as if a knife was pierce through his heart.

Not to mention the blooming feelings toward the same sex, the one deemed as forbidden, and an abomination in his eyes.Who said teenagers do not have problems? They do actually. They need help too. Andrew felt it when Caleb, does not value the words, attention, and care he had shown to him. Truly speaking, the one with the big smile might be the one suffering the most..... The ray of dim light from the window side shone as Andrew opened his eyes slightly, as he took notice of his environment.The hospital bed was rather soft compared to h
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 59- TAKING RISKS
Andrew rested on his bed, as he felt a throbbing headache on his head. He hissed, as he wished he could just make the pain disappear. 'It just indicates that he needed to use his drugs as soon as possible.As much as Andrew hated using drugs, this pain only makes him humble, as he tried to stand up, only for the door to be opened revealing his stepdad."You are awake. Here, take some bread and tea. I made it recently " he sat on his bed, as he stretched his hands forward for Andrew to take.Andrew frowned slightly, cursing inwardly. If only he felt less headache, he would have prepared his food by himself."And how am I sure you did not poison it," Andrew sneered, only for the pain to hit him deeper.Taking a spoon, Mr. Ryan took a spoonful of the tea, along with a piece of bread."Since you have rejected all the food I have made this past two days, will you at least accept this to use your drugs? You are in pain," Andrew for the first
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 60- FIGURING IT OUT
The silence continued as the two stared at each other. In few seconds, Mr. Ryan gulped down another cup of alcoholic wine. He gasped slightly as he darted his elbow on his face."Your mum? Who was she in my life? Well, she meant nothing. Good riddance to her. You are the only one I care about now," Andrew felt as if a sharp knife was dived into his heart. His jaw dropped, as tears clouded his eyes. His throat was dry as he closed his eyes, inhaling deeply.' Now is not the time to cry,' he told himself as he met his stepdad's gaze again."You know your mum was a Crime detective, one that doesn't mind her own business. She was the reason for causing deep pain for me. She killed my elder brother, the only family I had. He killed him," he enunciated the last part as he let out-breath from his mouth as he poured another cup of the wine."My elder brother was one of those gangs that have left the part of the UK agitated slightly. She killed him, durin
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 61- YOU WILL STILL BE MINE
The beep sound from Andrew's watch jolted him out of his thoughts. He sighed, as his body trembled slightly with vibration. He felt tense for a while, as he realized it was just an imagination.He breathe out gently as he turned to see his stepdad sleeping soundly, his snores gentle, and not disturbing either.He stared at him for a while, as memories of his words came knocking again. He still finds it difficult to comprehend that a man like him could not even control his feelings. He, Andrew feels trapped, but not for long. He still has to figure out a way and make him pay for what he did, in the right way of course.He could still remember how his mother would often tell him that 'Vengeance belongs to God. Forgiveness should be what we should aim at doing because God largely forgives our sins,He felt stuck with guilt for even imagining of killing him. It was true in one sense that he deserved to be punished especially for framing him into
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 62- KEVIN DILEMMA
Words alone could not describe the fear, outrage, anxiety, and trauma arising from Andrew's heart. His stepdad's words before leaving only gave him a crazy feeling. It makes him feel tenser than ever.There is no doubt that he might find a way out of the prison. And if that happens, he would keep looking for him. It seems as if one problem is down, another one is up."We would like to stay here with you this night. We can catch up together. Isn't that fun?", Joy commented.The four of them are now in the sitting room. They had watched how the cops took Mr. Ryan away and Kevin monitored them. According to Kevin, he might be charged to court in the next five days."Sure. I hope you do not mind Andrew," Rachael butt in as Andrew put on a fake smile."Sure. No problem. It will be relieving to have you around. After today, I want to leave this house. It would only remind me of what I have gone through. I think I will buy a room self-containe

But one thing is for sure, the struggles, pain, suffering can either make or mar one. It is only left to do or choose which one will pay.Everything seems so clouded in Kevin's mind. He felt his hands slippery, as the one whom he loves leaving and urging him to leave her."I don't want to be with you again. Leave me, just leave me." Tears only slipped down his face as he let go.He slumped on the ground as he cried profusely. ' This is not happening', he thought......Kevin almost jumped out of the bed as he realized he just had a dream. He noticed the time on the clock as he realized he was late for school as it hit 10 am.

HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 70- CONSEQUENCES
Joy felt tensed for a while. She refused to speak to Andrew because she felt she might overreact and go far with her words.Even when Andrew kept pestering him, she just kept mute like a dummy. ' Was that the right thing to do?' she asked herself as she waited for her driver, frustration boldly written on her face.She could see some worried expression on Andrew, but she cared less. ' He has so many female admirers and compared to herself, she does not look fit'.She reprimanded herself inwardly when she began feeling her insecurities coming back to life. She draped her face with a handkerchief and felt even more impatient because her driver was not yet around.She sighed, as she looked at her wristwatch, realizing it has been some minutes past the normal time she was supposed to be picked."Joy. Are you going to leave me to trek home", Joy closed and opened her eyes as she heard Rachael's voice.She turned back, trying her best

Feelings can be the best thing especially when expressed, but limitation has to be put in place especially when such feelings might not be in the long term.They smiled at each other warmly as their short mesmerizing moment was being cut short by the opening of the door.Kevin coughed slightly as he quickly released Rachael's hands as he turned to leave. The juniors who entered greeted him politely as he simply nodded, bubbling inside like a happy kid.He decided to have his lunch at the classroom, hoping to see Rachael after school." Does this mean they are now dating, since they feel the same about themselves? Or they would remain just friends?"Those questions kept running through Kevin's mind. He sighed, hoping the day would come to an end soon.....Joy and Andrew on the other hand both had lunch together. Joy was entertaining Andrew with some of her jokes, which only made Andrew smile and laugh heartily. He must confess he
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 68- CONFESSION
Saying YES will only make him be in the suffering end. How will he even tell his other friends that he broke the rule of dating, and has started dating Lydia? It sounds unreasonable.The shout kept getting intense, making Kevin blame himself for coming early to school today. He looked across the hall, as his eyes met with that of Rachael.He felt his heartbeat, as he saw the pain in her eyes, maybe it was his imagination. Before he could say a word, Rachael turned away and left.Within a split second, Kevin removed his hand from that of Lydia, ready to make his own decision. He took a step forward, as the noise began reducing."I don't know why you are making a fuss over this unless you want Principal Mullins to detain you all for disturbing the school peace. That is on a light mode.Thank you all for thinking Miss Lydia might be the right one for me. But I will like to clarify that we are just friends. The pictures you saw were not rea

FEELINGS are usually a nightmare for some. It becomes frustrating especially when it is unrequited. Sometimes, you feel down, and there are times you feel like forcing it on that person.Love is a beautiful thing. Happiness is a good fever. But when you are no longer with the one you like, your heart starts to ache badly.Kevin looked across the other side of the restaurant as he saw a family of three eating together. The father, mother, and a grown-up guy probably around his age.He felt bleak, as he sighed deeply, thoughts eroding his mind. A different form of sadness, wanting to make him feel unhappy. He has always wished his family will be like this, but every dream regarding that has faded like a gust of wind, nowhere to be found."Hello sir, will you like to order something?" The warm voice of the waiter brought Kevin out of his thoughts, as he looked up.The waiter handed over the menu as he scanned through it. He smiled noticing
HIGH SCHOOL LIFE CHAPTER 66- GETTING TENSE
It is often said that no matter how you hide something, it will one way or the other be exposed, even if it will be slightly.It can be said that Joy probably made the wrong decision by volunteering to be with Andrew, to help him with moving. It was more like a stance to increase the magnetic strength of her feelings.She helped with moving his stuff to his new apartment. For the first time, Joy complemented Andrew for his nice taste.The apartment had a small sitting room alongside two bedrooms, toilet and bathroom as one, alongside a well-furnished kitchen. The blue imprint on the sides of the living room even made it more beautiful, coupled with the simple furnishings in the mini house."Thinking about something?" Joy almost screamed, as her heartbeat fast at the sudden voice of Andrew behind her. It almost scared the shit out of her, as she tried to calm down."Well, let me just say I love your taste in the furnishings of this house. Be
