Theodore's POV

"Baby, are you tired?" Adonis asks me after we practice dribbling, passing and shooting for an hour.

"Not really," I say and shoot the ball, aiming at the hoop but it fails to go through it. I leave a sigh and turn to Adonis. "Why can't I still do it?"

"Look, Little one, basketball isn't something you master in a week. I've been playing for years and sometimes even I fail to score a basket. You're just being over-ambitious right now," he says in a scolding tone, making me pout.

"Gosh, Theo! Now don't look at me like that! I feel like kissing you!" he says and comes towards me, making my heart pound faster.

I thought he'd kiss me. But he only cups my face with his both hands and stares into my eyes. "Listen, you'll get better with practice. Be proud that you're already this good with just one week's practice."

I nod to him and lean in kissing his beautiful lips. They slowly spread into a gentle smile against mine. "Did you already forget your Dad's ground rule?" H

    1 month later Adonis's POV "Before announcing the names of the four who got selected into the team this year, I want to say a huge thanks to all nine of you who participated in the tryouts," Our Coach Mr Nelson says with a big smile on his face. "Your dedication, hard work, and passion for the game have been truly inspiring. I honestly wish to take all of you in the team but since there is a limit for the number of players, we can only select the best four. That doesn't mean your effort and determination have gone unnoticed. Remember that this is just one moment in your basketball journey, and there will be many more opportunities ahead. Keep working hard, stay focused, and continue to improve your skills. Your time will come." I feel anxious as I see Theo nod to the coach whilst biting his lips, standing in the middle of the row of nine boys who came for tryouts. He looks really nervous. I know he will cry if he doesn't get selected. The whole last month, he practised really hard.

  • Summer Camp   1. Trouble

    Theodore's POV 'Gosh! What have I gotten myself into? I can't believe I agreed to this! What was I even thinking?' I mutter under my breath as I step my feet down the aisle of the large single-decker sleeper bus already filled with a lot of girls and guys. I feel my hands and legs tremble as I sense myself getting stares from the people already seated on either side. With a heavily thudding heart, I scurry to the back of the bus, keeping my gaze on the dark vinyl flooring. Finally, I find an empty seat towards the back. I quickly haul my luggage bag off my shoulder and slump down on the window seat, placing the bag beside me. Once I fish my phone out of my pocket and check my hair and face in the camera, making sure everything's alright, I let out a sigh and lean back against the seat, pulling up the neck of my top a little. I think I quite look like a girl now. But the boobs, I think they are a little bigger than what was necessary. Maybe that's why all the guys were staring at

  • Summer Camp   2. Handsome

    The tall handsome dude with tousled dark hair and bright blue eyes slumps down beside me and raises an eyebrow at me, probably noticing my surprised expression. "Do you know me?" He asks me as I don't speak anything. I shake my head and immediately turn my face, looking out of the window. I hear him let out a chuckle. Yeah, I know him. He is Adonis Elsher, the Basketball captain of Cypress Boys High. Their school always wins Basketball matches and it's mostly because of him. A few months ago, they came to our school for a match and they got the cup. But I really didn't expect him in this Art camp. I didn't think a guy like him would be good at drawing. "Hey, what's your name?" He leans forward on the seat, looking at my face. Gosh! Why does he want to know my name? I'm already having a bad feeling that he is going to catch me in the act. I pretend like I don't hear him because of the music in my ear. I had actually paused it earlier to hear the girls talk. And the next moment,

    "Hey! Are you all sleeping?"Mr Alberty, the Art teacher from Merganzel public school and the one among the two teachers in charge of our camp asks through the microphone, making everyone stir in their seats. "C'mon, wake up all of you. We'll be at Hondbill National Park in five minutes. Hey there! Wake the one sleeping beside you."There was nobody beside me. Adonis was still in the back with the dudes."Guys, before we reach there, I'd like to give you a few quick instructions although I'm sure you've been instructed enough from your schools," Mr Alberty clears his throat when everyone finally stirs awake. "Like in the brochure, we are staying tonight at the Blue Hills Hotel fifteen minutes away from the southern entrance of the park. To reach there, we'll have to walk a little and climb a few steps from where our bus is going to stop. So, every one be together. Don't get lost.""Once we reach there, rooms will be alloted to all of you. We are 38 in total, 15 boys, 21 girls and th

    "Hey! I'm going to go join Andrea's table. You coming with me?" Adonis says as I turn around after I get my dinner from the counter. I thought he already left but he was actually standing there, waiting for me. I look at Andrea's table and it was already filled with a lot of girls and guys. I shake my head, "there's no space there." "C'mon there's enough space for four more!" He says and grabs my wrist, taking me aback. "W..Wait!" I gasp in shock. But he keeps walking, dagging me along with him, totally ignoring my protest. "Hey, can we join you guys?" He asks when we reach near the table, earning a hard glare from his crush. "Oh sure, c'mon," the girls all smile brightly and starts moving their chairs to make space for him. He smiles back at them and finally frees my hand before placing his food and drink on the table. I watch as he go off and quickly snatch two chairs from around the nearby table. He manages to thrust one of the chairs right opposite to Andrea in between two

  • Summer Camp   5. Not a girl

    Adonis' POV "What?! Online!? What is she doing online at 1 am? Who might be she chatting with?" Ah! This girl! I lost the mood to read. I close the comiXology website where I had just started reading a new comic, along with all of the other tabs in the background before placing my phone near my pillow. With a sigh, I close my eyes and try to sleep, but it seems like I won't be able to get any sleep today. Why is she playing too hard to catch? Does she actually hate me? But, what did I do? I mean all the girls seem to like me, except her. Why only her? What should I do now to make her fall for me? I roll on to my stomach and squirm my face into the pillow, feeling frustrated. I came here just to spend time with her but she is mad at me for coming. It's been a month already. I think I'll have to give up on her, if she doesn't like me back even after this camp. "I'm..I'm sorry." Wait! What's that? Is she talking in her sleep? I roll on to my back and sit up on the bed, only to f

  • Summer Camp   6. Teddy bear

    Theodore's POV He is actually nice. Thank God, he decided to not tell anyone! I really though it was all over. I leave a sigh, turning off the tap and patting my face dry with my towel. Looking at myself in the mirror, I wonder how he found out. Johny and Elena said nobody was going to get any suspicion. Now will everyone else find out the truth tomorrow? I'm scared. Shall I run off from here? But that too won't help now! "Hey little one, are you done yet?" "Yeah, coming.." I shout back to Adonis. Why the hell is he calling me little one? I'm only an year younger than him. Letting out a sigh, I open the door and step out of the bathroom to see the two beds now pushed together in the centre and Adonis sitting right in the middle, with his phone in his hands. He stares at my face as I looks at him confused "Why did you push them together?" I ask. "Oh..it's.." he flashes me a sly smile. "Now that we are both boys, I thought it was okay. And you seemed to be having a nightmare ea

  • Summer Camp   7. Flirt with me

    Theodore's POV "Hey..! Hey..! Wake up little one. It's 6." Who is little one? I try to move my limbs but I can't. A heavy weight is holding me in place. I let out a groan and rub my face against the pillow. But the pillow strangely feels hard and it beats like a drum. And then I hear someone laugh while somebody runs their fingers through my hair, softly strocking it. "Mom!" I flinch open my eyes. "I'm not your mom." "Shit!" "That's the first thing you say after waking up, Theodore?" Adonis frowns at me and then stares into my eyes. "W..What?" "Your eyes look brighter in the morning." "Uh...oh.." He likes my eyes? But he got such alluring blue eyes! I stare back at his eyes and he smiles at me, strocking my hair again. "You know what, you really are a hard sleeper. You didn't even hear the alarm. Are you always like this or today you got particularly comfy that you didn't want to wake up?" "No! It's not! L..leave me," I struggle against his chest, trying to free myself.

    Adonis's POV My jaw almost drops open as Theo opens the door to his gaming room. "Damn!" Adrien mutters behind me. I can't even get any words to utter. I was seriously stunned seeing the huge luxury gaming room and the way it was set up. The room was a splash of blue and purple with RGB lights on the walls around installed game shelves. The ceiling looked like it was made up of clouds. There were two gaming PCs and in front of them were the perfect gaming chairs. Among other accessories was a comfy leather couch laid against the walls opposite the computers and near it was a mini fridge just an arm's reach away. This was really a gamer's dream room. "C'mon. What do you guys wanna play?" Theo asks stepping into the room and going to one of the computers. I and Adrien follow him behind in a daze. "This is seriously sick!" Adrien mutters, looking around the room with widened eyes as Theo boots the computer. Adrien was at first reluctant to come to Theo's house. But now it s

    Theodore's POV "Theo, why was that Harry smiling at you so much during PE?" Adonis asks me as soon as I sit down with my lunch opposite him and Adrien. Adrien instantly starts giggling. "Theo, do you like Harry?" He asks me in between fits of laughter as if to tease Adonis. "Shut up, Ad!" Adonis smacks his hands playfully, only causing Adrien to giggle more. I can't help but smile looking at them. "Theo, what was Harry telling you?" Adonis looks at me again. "He was just asking me if you and I are dating," I reply, grabbing my fork. "Oh! And??" He asks. "I said I'm just friends with you both," I say and start having my spaghetti. "Oh, why?" Adrien asks. "You could have said you guys are dating, now that your Dad is okay with it." "Dad is okay with it. But I don't think my stepmom and other family members will be so accepting like him. And Adonis' parents also don't know," I reply whilst munching on a meatball. "I'll tell my parents soon," Adonis says. "They'll hopefully

    Theodore's POV "Wait!" I tilt my face and look at Dad, withdrawing my hand from the car door handle. He had just parked the car in front of my new school and I was about to hop out. "I need to tell you a few things," Dad says with a serious expression on his face. I nod to him, quietly. "Why did we join this school?" He asks. I look at him confused. "Uhm...to study?" "Yeah, to study," he says. "So better concentrate on your studies. Don't be distracted by other matters." "I won't. I will study hard," I say while wondering what he actually meant by distraction. "And I don't want to be called to the school unless there is a parents meeting." I again nod to him, obediently. He lets out a chuckle. "Theodore, I'm not worried you'd enter into any fights or get into any bad boy gang in this school or pick up any bad habits. I know you wouldn't. What I mean is, absolutely no naughty business inside the school campus. Don't let anyone catch you kissing anyone or doing any such

    Adonis's POV “Ah..Aiden...just let me sleep for some more time,” I groan and squirm uncomfortably, yanking away Aiden's hands. He was shaking me roughly, using all his strength while yelling my name. “C'mon, wake up, Adony! It's already late!” "Go away, Aiden! I wanna sleep," I say and hug my pillow, squirming my face into it. "No, get up! You agreed to come when I asked you yesterday. So, c'mon," Aiden says yanking down my blanket and grabbing hold of my wrist. “Aiden...ahh...leave me! It's sunday. I'm not coming," I say, opening my eyes a little and noticing he is already wearing his tracksuit and sneakers. "Look, I have early morning practice from tomorrow onwards. Today's the only day I can sleep peacefully before school reopens,” I whine, pulling my hands back. But he has an iron grip on my wrist and he keeps pulling me forward. So, I at last, bite his arm. He yelps, instantly withdrawing his hand and I smirk, pulling up my covers. "That's it! I'm telling Dad and Mom ab

    Theodore's POV "Congrats Theodore, your hand is all fine now," Dr Jones smiles at me while gently rubbing my arm. But I can't make myself smile, looking at the dry skin of my swollen arm. I thought to give Adonis a surprise today. That's why I didn't tell him yesterday, I'm getting rid of the cast before I go to Cypress for admission. But now I don't think he'll be so happy seeing my arm. It actually looked better inside the cast. "It's okay, the swelling will go away in a few days. Don't look so sad," Dr Jones says, smiling even broadly, trying to cheer me up. "Hmm...okay," I look up and give him a smile. "Your son is so cute, Daniel," Dr Jones says, turning to my Dad who was staring at my arm with a frown. Dr Jones is his best friend from high school. "Do you have any ointment or cream to reduce the dryness?" Dad asks him. "Yeah, I'll prescribe an ointment," he says and looks back at me. Then he gives me advice on washing my hands properly, using moisturizer liberally and mas

    Adonis's POV I flinch open my eyes to the calling bell ringing loudly downstairs. I had just drifted off into a nap after coming back home tired after basketball practice. We had 3 hours of practice from 9 to 12 today. Who might it be? Adrien?? No, we had lunch together and he said he has a class in the afternoon at the summer school. Maybe it's one of Aiden's friends. I close my eyes and I'm just about to drift back into sleep when I hear Aiden shout my name from downstairs. "Adony! Adony! Adonyyyy!!" "Haa...Aiden!" I shout back. "Yaaa...come downstairs. Some kid with a broken arm is asking to see you." Shit! I jump up from the bed and sprint out of my room to see Aiden interrogating Theo downstairs. "You are really his friend? What was your name again?" Aiden questions him with a frown while I'm dashing downstairs. "Theodore!" I squeal, making Aiden turn around and look at me with the same frown. "Adony, is he your friend?" He asks me. "Oh..yeah...er..he is my junior. He

    Theodore's POV "Theodore!" Miss Brown calls my name, frantically barging into my room, pushing open the door after hurriedly knocking just once. I quickly sit up from the bed where I have been comfortably lying between my pillows, texting Adonis after having breakfast. "Your Dad is very angry. Like really angry! He is calling you. Come downstairs immediately." "What's wrong?" I ask, feeling a tremor run down my body. "I don't know. He got a call from someone and he suddenly got angry. Please come down quickly," she says and turns around hurriedly leaving my room. I look at my phone screen to see Adonis's last message. 'Baby, I'll call you later. Break is over. Gotta go." He was texting me in between his basketball practice. With shivering fingers, I text him an 'okay' and place the phone aside. I feel my knees tremble as I crawl out of the bed and slowly walk out of the room. Did someone see me and Adonis together in the art gallery and inform Dad?! Or what if it's a
