" You are very handsome", he complimented me and I smiled, covering my face with my hands.
He was tall and well built but I could not see his face. I was blushing so hard that my cheeks was as red as Rudolph's nose. He touched my face moving closer with his hands on my neck.
His mouth moved and immediately, I closed my eyes expecting a kiss but instead, I felt water on my face.
" Is it raining?", I whispered, pouting my lips with my eyes closed still waiting for the kiss.
" No, dumbass. Wake up, you are going to be late for school", he screamed in my face.
I frowned, that sounds like my mother.
Splash!
" What the fuck!", My eye shot opened and I sprang up from the bed. My brain was still trying to process what just happened. My pyjamas was wet then it clicked, my mother poured water on me. Thanks to my slow morning brain, I just realized that.
" Language Sebastian", my mother frowned to which I snorted.
" But mom, why the water?", I whined, rubbing my hooded eyes. My mother titled her head slightly towards the alarm clock.
I rolled my eyes and laid on my bed. I don't want to go to school, it may be fun to others but to me it is a living hell.
" Come on Seb, you are going to be late."
" I don't care mom, I am tired", I was really tired. School weakens me and got me shaking to the bones.
" Why do you always give reasons whenever you don't want to go to school?", She asked me, rubbing my hair tenderly. There she goes, the soft voice that got me agreeing to whatever she says. I shut my mouth tight and refused to speak to her. She is always looking out for me which hurts, I groaned into my pillow and reluctantly stood up from my bed.
After spending years in the bathroom, I came out looking like a smooth baby butt.
I stared at myself in the mirror, my 5ft6 self staring back at me. I sighed, rubbing my blonde hair. Today is going to be a long day, just like how my days have always been.
I walked into the kitchen just in time to see my mother serving my food, I sighed and dragged myself to the table.
" Here son, eat up", she muttered and kissed my head to which I grunted. I hate it when my mother behave like this, it becomes so hard for me to skip school even when I am reluctant to go.
" One more year and it is over", I whispered to myself before digging into my food.
The sound of door slamming against the wall somewhere in the house made me startled. I kept my eyes trained on my food because I knew who it was. My father barged into the dining without acknowledging me, he does this everytime, treating me like a furniture.
Even without him knowing I am different from his children, I tried hard to hide my identity from my father. He is already disappointed in me for having bad grades and not being a smart son.
I straightened my back and greeted him which I heard a grunt in response. I rushed my breakfast, dropping my plate in the sink and kissed my mother.
" Bye mom", I said before scrambling out of the house.
Whew!
That was close, I adjusted my backpack and walked to school. Lucky me, my school was twenty minutes away from my house.
The school parking lot was filled with flashy rides, groups and cliques were chatting away noisily and making fun of the average scholarship students including me. I knew they were laughing at me but I chose to ignore it. It is not as if I can walk up to them and tell them to keep their fucking mouth shut.
I breathe deeply through my mouth and clutch my backpack like my life depends on it, it is always the same.
Keeping my head down, I hastily walk into the school entrance also making sure I do not slam into things or people as I was being pushed around.
" Hey fag", a jock ran to my side, placing his arm on my shoulder. I stiffened and try to look fearless but deep down, it is always the same. A scared little me, too scared to stand up for myself.
I anticipated his next move and was ready to do what I always do next.
He hit the back of my head and laughed when the other encourage him. I tried to remove his arm from my shoulder which led to him slamming me against the locker and my books sprawled all over the floor.
" Oh my bad!", He smirked and walked away.
Tears pooled in my eyes which I desperately tried not to shed. This has been my life in school, I am a weak boy, too weak for pearl high.
I took their scholarship exam and got picked, the biggest mistake of my life. I was been bullied because my besties ratted me out. John and Mason were my best friends, we do things together and got scholarship to study in pearl high but my friends wanted more, they wanted to join the rich kids. They started following them around like a dog and when I told them my secret about me liking guys, they announced it to the whole school and since then, I became a laughing stock.
I wasn't the only gay in pearl high, most of them are rich and have their rich partners but I am an average guy from an unknown background. They said I was not fit to be a gay so I was casted out.
I sighed and crouched down to pick my notes when I notice mason and John heading my way, I held my breath.
Why am I scared of them? I don't know, they were the people I grew up with.
They stop right in front of me, mason bent to help me but John stopped him.
" You know what it means to be seen with him", he warned Mason. " Hey fag", he grin widely before stepping on my notes. " Look how rough it is", he increased the pressure, tearing my notes in the process. " Oh! My leg slipped."
I sniffed and slowly looked up, Mason stared at me with pity and John, he has always been heartless towards me." Why?", I croaked." What did you say?", John held me by my collar, raising me up from the floor. " What the fuck did you say?"" Why are you doing this to me?", I managed to speak even with the pressure on my neck." You don't deserve to be here. Drop out and leave here", he gritted and pushed me. I tumbled forward but lost balance when someone jostled past me. They chuckled over their shoulder knowing fully well, what they did. I wish I didn't have a scholarship to lose, maybe then, I will be able to stand up for myself.I glanced at my bruised arm and pulled my sweater down to cover the bruises I got. I haven't even gotten to class before going through this. I packed my books and shoved it into my locker. Dragging myself to the rest room, I turned on the tap and wiped my face.A reflection of me mirrored my motionless body and pictured my puffed eyes. I closed my eyes a
" There are six in total. Saving planet earth, Saving aquatic life, the orphanage, helping lost animals find a home, science talk and the last one is fundraising which we will all be involved in."" Even the poor?", someone said, coughing to cover his loud words. Half of the class laughed at his dumb words. " Saying something Luke?", Mr Wilson glared at the blonde boy who smirked and shook his head. " Nothing Mr Wilson.""You all have been distributed to your various works and will be scored according to your performance."Mr Wilson looked around the classroom. " I have assigned you to your partners so any question?"A red haired boy with braces raised his hand. " does saving planet earth involves only plants?"" No, it involves so many thing like planting in the neighborhood, cleaning and ensuring a healthy, neat environment. That is all for today, see you all next time", Mr Wilson packed his materials and left the class.Immediately the teacher was out, the class turned lousy. St
" I am so sorry", I quickly apologize. Bowing my head as I kept apologizing. I didn't realize how close we were or that his hand covered mine in a close grip. I slowly glance up at him, just seeing how tall he is. He pushed me back but didn't release me until I was able to stand alone. " You won't go easily next time", he uttered, his voice laced with irritation. Maybe I am irritating him, I sniffed and nod my head. Silently watching him leave, Kaden stopped, turning his head slightly. " Behave like a man not a crybaby", he said before walking away. My eyes widen in shock, stunned at his word. I am trying to be a man as well. letting out my tears, I knelt on the field and cried. I didn't know how long I cried until Emily screamed my name. .......... I leaned against the gate and inhaled a deep breath, letting it out as a whistle. Another day gone and I am finally at home, I peeped through the window, feeling the cold breeze on the back of my neck. I saw my father's car in the g
Standing outside an empty classroom for too long, I rubbed my sweaty palm against my pants. A tight knot formed in my stomach. Why am I nervous?" I can do this", I mumbled.Knocking quietly, I waited for someone to open it. Hearing no reply, I was about to knock again when the door was suddenly opened which made me stiffened." Who are you?", Tobias asked as he stood in front of me with his arms crossed. His large from block the entrance, preventing from seeing what was going on inside." Let our visitor in", someone peeked from behind. It was Adrien, he waved, pushing Tobias away from the entrance. That was my cue to enter, my shaky legs moved on their own and immediately I was inside, the door was shut.I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding. There he was, sitting with a book in his hand. I walked up to him and he didn't noticed me until I called out his name." Kaden."My body freezed as Kaden turned his head towards the tiny voice that called his name. I even stop
Monday arrived too quickly for my liking, with a quick bath and speedy blow dry, I got ready for school. I hope we can start the project as soon as possible.I rushed down the stairs and almost fell off the stairs when I saw my brother smiling at me." Hey sebb", he greeted, sitting down with a bowl of fruit in front of him.When did he arrive? My brother has always been my guard since we were young, he would always protect me from the bullies but ever since he went to college, I have no one to stand up for me. He knows I am gay, he was the first person I told when I was always with him.I always knew I like boys since I started crushing on my brother's friend when I was fourteen, my brother found out and accepted me for who I am." When did you arrive?", I whispered. I was no longer free with my brother since the day father started comparing me to him and he knows I am no longer the little brother that confide in him but he didn't even know about me being bullied in school, I want n
Sebastian's POV An hour passed with me fidgeting on my pen, I didn't understand my meeting with Mason for my mind kept drifting to Kaden. My heart jumped into my throat when I saw Kaden walking towards me. His hands were dug in the pocket of his jacket, staring as he remained expressionless, plus his calm demeanor made it difficult for me to guess what he was thinking. I cleared my throat, forcing myself to blink when he stood right in front of me. " I thought you were not coming", I whispered, hoping he didn't noticed how I was shamelessly staring at him. Kaden shrugged, he sat next to Mason clearly not happy to be here. I was slightly disappointed when he didn't sit beside me and also happy because his presence makes me feel nervous and kind of aroused. Don't blame me. Kaden is too handsome not to fall for him, his black eyes were so deep that I find myself drowning in it. Different thoughts kept running in my mind that I didn't notice mason calling me until he tapped my shou
Immediately I pulled my locker, gooey substance that I don't even know what it was fell right on my head. I gasped at the coolness it created when in contact with my body. The students started laughing, bumping their fist together. I knew it was Cassandra plan and that bitch made it obvious by marching towards me with her ugly pink boots and dogs barking behind her. When I meant dogs, I meant her boyfriend and my ex best friend." Do you like my little present?", She cooed, smirking at me. I wish I could wipe that deathly smirk off her mouth but I was too coward to even speak. I tried holding my tears back, how will I be able to get myself sparkling clean. Not saying a word, I ran into the restroom, crying my eyes out. Hearing a mumbling sound, I stopped crying thinking it was one of the jock and a damn girl. The sound continued and it suddenly stopped. Okay, that needed my attention.I tiptoe towards the door, gently resting my ear on it. The sound stopped already, was it someone
Come on, let's get you cleaned up", Mason said, he held my hand pulling me towards the shelter which I tried to pry his hand off me but couldn't as he held me in a strong grip. " Stop it Sebastian, let me help you", he yanked me forward. I followed him quiety, mumbling some insults. When we got inside the shelter, a black lady probably in her fifties gave us a welcoming smile. She wiped her hand and beckoned us to come over. " Good afternoon ma'am", I greeted. Nervously chewing on my lips, habit of mine. " Hello ......", She stared at me, waiting for me to introduce myself. " Sebastian." " Hello Sebastian, it is nice to meet you. Mason said you were three, where is the third person?" "I..." I racked my brain for lies to cover up for Kaden but the door suddenly opened and the devil strode in. His eyes landed in me and we stared at each other for long before I looked away. I didn't know whether they noticed my change in behavior or the way we stared at each other but all I knew
I wheezed, realizing I have been holding my breath. Kaden strode towards me, he looked scary as he did. I quickly turned to face him which was a wrong move, Kaden swiftly pushed me to the wall. My back hurt as it collide with the rough surface." So you and Mason ", he hissed, pinning me to the wall." Let me go", I wiggled, trying to free myself from his grip. The more I tried, the more hurt I got. "Please", I begged." So you like him that bad? And here I was thinking he was your bully."I did not know if I heard well but the tone his voice carried was filled with jealousy and anger. This was the another time he showed his emotions to me." I did not know he wanted to do that and I do not like him. Please believe me", I explained. My eyes stinged as tears threatened to fall. It seemed he was having hard time believing me, his strong grip on my hand loosen but didn't let me go. He glide his hand down my waist then finding his way to my chin. My heart pumped faster as if it would br
Brody didn't speak for a while. He brought out his phone, took a picture of me and was typing on his phone." What are you doing?", I squeaked." Sending it to Kaden, he will come running", he chuckled." No, please don't", I sincerely said which made him stop." I was just kidding, won't want them to find out about this place", he kept his phone back in his pocket.I sighed. Kicking the little pebbles, I could not help but think about him." I like him", I confessed to which Brody rolled his eyes, he must have known." I know that, slow wit", he smirked. " Do you think he likes me? I mean is he gay?", I chewed on my lower lips as I awaited reply. It made me nervous even when I knew he does girls. Will he change because of a weak boy ? Never, I won't change because of me either." I don't know. But, I can say he has been bothered this days", he shrugged. " Who knows, it might be because of you."My phone rang in my bag, I shuffled through it searching for my phone. It was a call fr
" You scared me Kayden", he spoke softly. I looked away and stood up from the table I sat." You didn't answer my question. What are you doing here?", I asked again, moving closer towards him.Sebastian moved back, his eyes watching my movement.I took large strides, stopping him from running out. Pinning him against the wall, I realized how small he was under me. I was so close to him that I could see every details of his face. My eyes traced his face, stopping at his soft lips." Are you afraid of me?", I whispered in his ears." N-no-oooo", he swallowed, looking down. I didn't know what I was doing at that moment, all I knew was that my lips were so close to his and I could kiss him if I wanted." Do you realize you are alone with me?", I held his both hands with my big one, using my other hand to tilt his head so he could look at me in the eyes." Yes", he shivered." And I can do whatever I want with you?"" Yes", his eyes widen before speaking again. " No!", He yelled. " I mean
Staring at myself in the mirror for the upteenth time, being nervous to go to school. My brother leaned by the door, smirking at me." Why do I feel that this is more than going to school?" He teased me to which I rolled my eyes. He was right though, this was more than school. " I am off", I said as I took my backpack and ran downstairs." Hold on, let me drop you off at school", he hollered." Don't bother."As much as I wanted to stay home with Marcus and spend some time with him, I needed to do something else.Riding my bike to school won't be a big deal as I was already used to it........Emily approached me immediately she saw me taking books out of my locker." Hey lover boy", she greeted, draping her arm over my shoulder.I was getting used to her physical touch and being around her. She noticed me scanning around, looking for Kaden." Who are you waiting for?", She wiggled her brows at me." No one", I squeaked. I am so terrible at lying.Emily squinted her eyes at me but di
Sebastian's POVSeeing Mason and Kaden glare at each other made me feel bad. I don't know why I keep allowing Kaden into my life or why he is behaving so strange but I like it.I smiled, walking hastily to keep up with him, standing beside him alone gave me peace of mind." What is your type?", I blurted out, realizing it was too late. " I mean your phone, is it iPhone?", I flipped his phone pretending to check it out. " Nevermind, I can see the product", I didn't realize I was sweating or stammering, all I knew and pray was that he believe that was the question I was asking and not his type in a woman." Yeah, my phone should be pretty and strong. And also packed with huge things", he smirked to which I almost fainted. Did he just?Kaden is an asshole." I was actually asking for the phone type not woman", I lied, swallowing my saliva. I walked faster, moving away from him. Not him thinking I am a pervert.............The dog was resting now as he curled up into a ball. I smiled at
Everywhere went silent, no one said a word. I kept on thinking about Kaden even when he is in the same room with me." There you are Sebb", Mason said as he entered the restroom. He eyed Kaden curiously and walked to my side. " I have been searching everywhere for you, aunty May wants us to walk her dogs."" Sure, I will meet you there", I said. When Mason left, I stood back, waiting for Kaden." Leave, I will meet you there ", he spoke coldly to me. It was as if the Kaden I was speaking with not quite long was gone and replaced with a cold one. Keeping his cold face, I only nod and was about to walk out when I thought of something. My eyes widen which made me turn back on my feet. Is he trying to use drugs?" Why are you staying behind? Are you using......."" What?", He hissed, which shut me up immediately. " Get out."I didn't wait to be to be told twice before running out of the restroom. It hurt when he spoke to me like that.Looking at all the dogs made me sad and also thinkin
