2021-06-25 16:23:31Nate's POV
I shut the door as soon as Ethan steps out. Locking it, I go to my bed and collapse down, heaving a sigh. I hate Ethan. I hate him so much. I hate the fact that he looks like Alex.I hate this school. I hate my previous school too. I hate every school. I don't want to study anymore.No I take it back. I want to study. I just hate going to school. I should better do home schooling.Lying on my bed, I involuntarily tear up. I can't bear this anymore. I don't have any idea what I should do. I'm scared to go to class. I'm scared seeing people. I'm so pathetic. I'm a loser. Tears run down my both cheeks one after another.Suddenly my phone rings near my ear making me flinch. I grab it and look at the caller ID. It's my Mom calling. I quickly wipe away my tears and breathe in and out a few times, trying to calm myself down. Then I answer the call." Hello Mickey..", My Mom says enthusiastically from the other siRelated chapters
Stutter Boy 26. It hurts but it kinda feels good
" C'mon..open the door.", a guy says from the other side of the door. It's not Ethan's voice. Neither is it Kevin or Tony. It's someone else. I reluctantly take the lock and pull the door open to reveal four guys standing in front of me, smirking at me.From the looks they are giving me, I can clearly say they are not here for a friendly chat or anything. Probably they too are gonna bully me. And they are all well built and muscular. I don't know what's going to happen to me." New student ?", One of them asks. I nod."Hmm...you are the one who stutters, right ?", the second guy asks. I again nod." What took you so long to open the door ?", the guy on the extreme left asks." I- I was watching a m..movie.", I reply." Oh..I see.", he nods. " You didn't go to class today ?", I shake my head 'no'." So you are here to skip school and watch movies ?", the first guy asks raising an eyebrow. " Easy, right ? Fre

Ethan's POVIt's Monday morning again and I'm currently walking towards my dorm room to start with the new week. I headed from home a bit early today so it's only 8:30 Am now. I know this week too is going to be hectic. By saying that I mean last week was really terrible for me. I ignored Michael the last whole week. Luckily I didn't have to bully him. But friday I happened to see Kevin and Tony manhandling Michael in the boy's toilet. I was about to enter the toilet when I saw them having a terrified Michael pinned against the wall. I quickly turned and walked away. I couldn't stand and see any further.I thought I could easily ignore Michael. But it was a really hard task. It was impossible to not stare at him during the Calculus class. I realized Michael really has some effect on me in the last few days. I couldn't believe I literally cried as I lied waiting for sleep in my room on Friday night. I'm sure Michael is being bullied not only by my fr

Evening after football practice, as I walk back to my dorm, I feel kind of relieved and happy. Today was actually a nice day. A really good day I must say, without my friends. Kevin and Tony didn't get back for football practice and coach asked me about them. I told Tony is sick and Kevin took him to the hospital. Coach somewhat believed it.Everything's good until now. But I don't really know what is awaiting me. They, especially Amelia will be furious. Not only did I not join them but also switched off my phone. I can't find a proper excuse to tell them. Maybe I'd say Coach found me climbing the fence or something. I reach my room and twist the door open. Gavin hasn't arrived. I think basketballers have extra half an hour practice since they have a match coming next week. I throw my bag to the floor and take off my shoes. Then I strip out of my jersey and walk towards the bathroom to take a shower. When I'm about to step into the bathroom, the ro

Miss Anderson steps into the class in a few. " Good evening guys, so today you all just have to draw the pencil portrait of a girl. Try to finish it this hour itself. If you are planning to submit it next week, then let me inform you, your grades will be lower no matter how beautiful your drawing is. ", she says and walks to her chair in the front and sits down. " Now is there someone who hasn't submitted last weeks assignment ?"Michael stands up from his seat and raises his hands a little. " You are the new student, right ? What was your name ?", Miss Anderson asks taking her register where she records our assignment marks." Michael Clark.", Michael replies." Okay, where were you last two weeks ?", she asks." I was not well.", Michael replies." For two weeks ?"" N..no. I was not well on b..both Tuesdays."" What is that ? Tuesday fever ?", Miss Anderson asks and a few people laugh. " Is i

After ten more minutes as I finally finish my girl's portrait, Michael has finished the flower vase. That drawing is again amazing. Orange tulips in beautiful blue vase. But since it's just a flower vase and he did it really quickly, it's not something really great like the first drawing. Probably he wanted to finish the scenery drawing now itself.He gets up and hastily goes to Miss Anderson, who smiles looking at his picture and then gives it back to him after signing it. Michael smiles. Probably he got 'O' again for the drawing or at least 'A' since it's a late submission. O means outstanding and no body actually gets that. He got it for his last portrait.As he comes back and places the picture in his binder, I see he has got ' O' itself. Miss Anderson couldn't lower his grade although he submitted two weeks late. She seems to have really liked Michael. But I guess all the people here is now extremely jealous of him.Although I finished my
Last Updated : 2021-06-26Stutter Boy 31. You don't need to care
Nate’s POVI run up the stairs leading to my dorm room as fast as my legs can carry me, my right hand itching for some kind of painful attention. Once I reach there, I rush into my room slamming the door harshly behind me.Hurrying over to my desk drawer, I slump myself down on the chair rummaging through various stuff. My fingers frantically run over papers, pens, markers, a photo of Alex and various other items until I suddenly withdraw my hands as my finger tips slice over the sharp object, a blade, what I was looking for.I quickly drag it out from the dresser not caring the burn of my freshly cut finger tips. I pull out my right hand and roll my paint stained hoodie sleeves up revealing my right wrist now littered with a lot of cuts along with black burn marks underneath it.It was two days after I started burning myself with candle wax, that I tried cutting myself for the first time. I was shaving when I decided to experi

I'm still sitting on the bed thinking about Ethan's sudden strange behaviour when the door opens again after ten minutes and my new roommate, Grace walks in smiling. " Hi Michael.", she says waving her hands at me and coming towards me. "Ahm...Can I call you Mike ?", she asks." Call me Nate ?", I ask." Oh..that's your second name ?", she asks. I nod." Okay Nate. My name is Grace Adams. Call me Grace.", She says and stretches out her hand. I smile and take her hands, carefully with my right hand, praying she thinks the blood stain as paint." You had arts last hour ?", she asks looking at my sleeves. " Hmm..", I nod. " I'll g..go change. You please settle in by then. ", I say and crawl out of the bed. She nods and I quickly go to my cupboard and take a pair of clothes before escaping into the bathroom. I was careful to pick out a long sleeved shirt between. I shut the bathroom door behind and strip out of my clothes, stepping into the sh
Last Updated : 2021-06-28Stutter Boy 33. You are all seriously sick !
Ethan’s POVCutting — using a sharp object to cut your own skin on purpose until it bleeds — is a form of self-injury. People sometimes self-injure by burning their skin with the lit end of a cigarette, a lighter, or a match. Some people turn to this behaviour when they have problems or painful feelings and haven't found another way to cope or get relief.Most of the time, people who cut themselves don't talk about it or let others know they’re doing it. But sometimes they confide in a friend. Sometimes a friend might find out in another way.Without help, people who cut also may continue to feel socially isolated and depressed. People who self-injure may have other problems such as eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or severe depression that require long-term professional care." Hey..! ", Gavin calls from my behind. I turn around on t

Stutter Boy 128. You take my breath away (Final)
Nate's POV Ethan has a proud smile on his lips as he looks at me from among the vast sea of graduates, sitting in front of me, wearing black robes and hats. Gavin, Grace, Milan and Dulce are beside Ethan and they also have wide smiles on their faces. I'm now standing on the dials of Westview's main auditorium, in front of the Mike, facing at least a three thousand people, including our principal, chief guests, staffs, my fellow graduates and their friends and family. And they are all looking at me confused as to why I suddenly paused my valedictorian speech without a proper conclusion. Yes, today I'm graduating from high school and I'm standing here on the stage, delivering a speech after becoming the Valedictorian of this year. Something I and all the others thought I would never be able to do. Or better something people made me think I would never be able to do. But today I proved to myself and to the other that it was a wrong conception. Of course I co

" Michael..", Ethan calls, shaking me by my shoulder as I almost drift into sleep. I open my eyes and see his face hovering over me. " Your parents are coming here evening. They want to have dinner with us.", he says. " Oh ! ", I gasp and shoot up from the bed, causing Eve to groan. I quickly give her a pillow to hug and slide out of the bed. " But they didn't tell me." " They were going to tell you when you handed me the phone.", he says. " Okay, so what are we d..doing ?", I ask. " They are planning for us to meet at some restaurant.", he says. " So after having dinner, they would r..return back ?", I ask. He nods. " So they are coming just for a dinner ? Why do they have to c..come now ? We had told them that we would come on v..vacation, right ?", I ask in surprise. " Yeah..but they want to see us now. They already booked ticket.", Ethan says scratching on his neck.
Stutter Boy 126. You've drawn my dreams
Nate's POV It's past 6 Am when Ethan pulls the car in through the gates of our house. We had started from hostel at 4, after our bit too courageous deed there. Ethan had been waiting for it since a long time and I too was waiting for him to do it to me. But he wouldn't ask me. So at last I decided to ask him on our birthday. I wanted our first time to be special and memorable and I'm damn sure this past night will remain in our memories forever. I know, If we got caught, we could have got dismissed from school without being able to write the last semester exams and it would have been a forever painful memory for both of us. But I knew no body would catch us as almost all the students had went home and only a very few were staying at hostel during study leave. And thankfully everyone in our nearby rooms had went home. Ethan pulls the car into the porch and unbuckles his seat belt whilst rubbing his sleep deprived eyes. He could only sle
Stutter Boy 125. Amazing birthday gift
My hands shook and my heart pounded away so hard in my chest that I thought I might perish right here and now from the simple sight of my angel lying naked underneath me on our small sweet bed in Dorm 69. This is the bed where we slept hugging each other tightly on the day we first met. I remember picking up a hyperventilating Michael from the bathroom that day and making him lie here on this bed. He was in a totally vulnerable state then. He was someone with a lot of fears and insecurities. But now he has changed a lot. He isn't that same boy anymore. As I looked at his gorgeous baby blue eyes and his equally gorgeous body, which he had given me to do whatever I wanted tonight, I felt my pulsing desire to make him fly to the highest reaches of heaven. I wanted to show him how desirable he was and how perfect he was to me and how hot he was. I watched fascinated as his slender body undulated underneath mine, his creamy skin flushed s
Stutter Boy 124. Where's my gift ?
Ethan's POV Soft, cute, warm, nice, beautiful, comforting, baby blue, lovely, gorgeous these are a few of the many words that randomly pop into my mind as I lie back comfortably on the driver's seat with my head tilted a little to stare at Michael, lying beside me on the passenger seat, animatedly talking about his past birthdays, his baby blue eyes glowing beautifully under my car's dome light. " And then Ethan...I..", he pauses and tilts his head smiling at me. My heart melts on seeing his dimples and I stare at him awestruck. When he smiles at me like this I feel my entire being coming to a standstill. He then suddenly giggles, the most softest and cutest voice, which is like music to my ears. And the corners of his baby blue eyes crinkle making him look more cute. He simply takes my breathe away with those eyes and dimples of his. "Why are you looking at me like that ? " he asks, stopping his giggles as I keep on staring at h
Stutter Boy 123. What a surprise birthday party ?
4 Months and 2 weeks later Ethan's POV I feel uneasiness bubbling in the pit of my stomach as I park my car nearby Black Swan and unbuckle my seat belt. " What now Ethan ?", Michael asks me in a soft voice, unbuckling his own belt. " Baby, I feel sad...and also guilty.", I say. He sighs shaking his head. " I shouldn't have told you actually." " No..it's better you told.", I mumble, leaving a sigh. The thing is actually, tomorrow is June 7, our birthday. And currently it's Friday evening 4 : 35 Pm and we are in front of our usual cafe Black Swan. Gavin, Grace, Milan and Dulce are inside there and they are now gonna give me a small surprise birthday party. So to make things clear, none of them still knows Michael's birthday is also tomorrow. We haven't told them anything. The only people who knows we got switched at birth are Me, Michael, Michael's parents, his older sister and my Mot
Stutter Boy 122. A scooter ride through snow
" Really ? You don't know to r..ride a scooter.", Michael laughs looking at me whilst wearing the helmet. " I just haven't rode a scooter or motorcycle yet.", I say whilst patting on the leather seat of his Mom's scooter. She is now standing at the front doors along with his Dad, looking at us with a wide smile on her lips. " I thought I can r..ride sitting behind you. Now I've to give you a ride.", He laughs and climbs on the scooter, expertly pulling it out to the yard. " Okay, C'mon..climb on.", he squeals giving me a helmet. I take it and wear it before hoisting my legs over the scooter and mounting on the seat behind him. I don't know whether it was funny to watch me climbing on the scooter's back for the first time in my life, anyway both Michael's Dad and Mom laughs. Soon a growl escapes from the scooter's engine as Michael reach the handle bar and turn in slightly. " Mickey..ride slowly, okay ?", his Mom calls out as he revs up
Stutter Boy 121. You are my Son
Ethan's POV I feel like I just slept for five minutes when I wake up hearing knocks. And it's kinda dark inside the room. I take away Michael's arms and legs from my body and reach my hands to the switch board. He groans and buries his head into my chest as soon as I turn on the lights. Rubbing my eyes, I tilt my head to the left where a clock is sitting on the wall. It shows 5 : 50 Am. " Michael..get up. Your parents are knocking.", I whisper to him, shaking him slightly. He soon rolls around on his back and sits up rubbing his eyes. " Go, open the door.", I tell him. He nods, blinking his eyes twice or thrice, adjusting them to the lightening inside the room. Then he crawls out of the bed and walks to the doors, ruffling his hair while I quickly kick away the blanket from my feet and sits nicely on the edge. Like I expected, both his Dad and Mom are standing there as he opens the door. Both of them instantly turns their gazes to me and they look
Stutter Boy 120. I started forming in your Mother's womb first
Ethan finally pulls away and flips us over, making me lie on his chest. " Baby, are you still hiding something from me ?", he asks me, staring deep into my eyes with his beautiful brown orbs. I can't say 'No' or shake my head. " What are you still hiding, Michael ? Don't you trust me ?", he asks. " Yes..I trust you Ethan. M..my Dad and Mom knows I'm n..not their Son.", I let it out. He looks at me really surprised and I snuggle my head into the crook of his neck, letting out a whimper. He is silent for a few moments before his hands starts running slow soothing circles on my back. " How do you know baby ?", he asks. The gentle tone of his voice and his soothing hands doesn't help me keep the secret to myself. I practically let everything out.I start telling him about the blood group and he is surprised knowing there is such a thing. He tells me his Mom is also B+ve like him and his Dad is A+ve. So B+ve is possible for the
