2024-10-29 19:42:56Edwin couldn’t focus on the work he was doing as he kept thinking about the competition, the academy and his team. In the morning, North Hill students left to the academy that reminded him of the days when he used to get excited to go to the academy.
He rested his elbows on the computer desk and rubbed his face with his palms, letting out a sigh. The memories of him being with his friends, playing in the basketball court, the academy and all other things kept hitting his head, making him unable to focus on anything.
Along with that, last night moment was still displaying in front of his eyes. Before Ace’s visit, he kept thinking about him and was dying to see him. Like a blessing Ace arrived. Though he wanted to hug him, kiss him and wish him the luck for the competition, he stood still as he didn’t want Ace to know he was thinking about him.
“Oh God!” he mumbled, holding his head. “Focus Ed, focus.” He muttered to get c

Edwin was on the terrace, having his drink, looking at the sky and gazing at the stars. The talk with Ralph that he had was not leaving his mind. A few minutes back, he called Ralph to wish him the luck as the next morning was the competition. The talk lead to their graduation and then their future that scared Edwin. In just a few days, Edwin and Ace were going to graduate and if they wouldn’t talk and solve their problems before their graduation, then it might increase their distance so much as there were chances of Ace leaving to foreign. “Ace! I don’t want to lose you.” Edwin mumbled. He then continued drinking, trying to stay calm yet his mind was as chaotic as always. He looked at his cell phone for the hundredth time, feeling like calling Ace. Finally, he held his cell phone with his little shivering hands. He wanted to talk and solve everything but he didn’t understand where to start. He decided to talk to him but his mind was opposing his decision. He then decided to at least

Love has no boundaries. It neither cares about the religion nor about the sexuality. It happens to anyone at anytime. It can be between a girl and a boy or a girl and a girl or a boy and a boy. No matter what the sexuality is, love is the same. Love is clearly not based on sexuality. **** Like the same, love happened between two rivals. Between two guys, who always fought with eachother. The two young souls, who were so broken from inside, met eachother to fix the broken parts, to fight against the society and to fight for what they truly deserved. After Ace’s confession, they both had to face many problems. They faced insults, humiliations and bullying, which Ace afraid the most, but they stood strong. Ralph and Freddie never opposed them but they felt furious as they got to knew about their relationship, lately. But after few kicks and punches, everything went normal.

The Rivals The Rivalry
“I’m gay.” Staring at his reflection in the mirror, Edwin kept practicing how to tell the truth about him, to his friend, Kate. Rubbing his palms together, Edwin let out a sigh while mustering up the courage to reveal the truth about himself. “Okay. Once more.” Edwin told himself and stared at his reflection sharply. He continued “Kate, I’m sorry. I can’t love you. Not only you, I can’t love any girl because I’m gay.” He then sat on the bed holding his head with his palms, irritated. His puffy eyes said that he hadn’t had enough sleep last night. He shook his head annoyed while mumbling “I can’t tell this. No one should know about me. I can’t face the society.” His annoyance increased with the buzzing sound of the alarm. It was the most irritated sound to him as it always reminded him to move his lazy ass off the bed and got ready to go to his college. But he had to set the alarm otherwise it was nearly impossible for him to wakeup from his sleep. Turning off the alarm clock, Edw
The Rivals Can't do anything
Seeing Ace in front of him, Edwin’s anger multiplied. Ace was a few inches taller than Edwin, probably 6'2. He was better than Edwin in every aspect. Taller than Edwin, handsome, rich and a good player with excellent looks which attracted anyone.Ace caught Edwin’s hand before it reached his friend’s face. He looked at Edwin with his intense eyes, gleaming the hatred in them as if Edwin had been his enemy for ages. Though it was just one win, Ace couldn’t forget it and couldn’t forget the person, who was the reason for Silver High's defeat.“From where did you get the courage to raise your filthy hand on my buddy?” Ace said in his dangerous voice.Edwin pushed him back, giving the similar stare. He shouted “Here comes the rich brat to protect his kittens.”Ace put his palms in his pockets, giving an evil grin. He stepped closer to Edwin, saying “I guess you forgot the things we did to you.

The Rivals His Life
Surrounded with hot girls, booze and music, Ace and his classmates were enjoying the night at one of Ace’s guest houses. Ace sat at the edge of the swimming pool with his legs inside the water, enjoying the coolness of it. He kept drinking while laughing with his best friend, who had been with him, since he was a kid.“We shouldn’t have left them soon, Ace. It was bloody satisfying seeing them getting beaten by us.” Jacob said while having his drink.“Those filthy people... if we didn’t leave the place, I might have broken any of his body parts.” Ace muttered while remembering their defeat that happened nearly many months ago.Jacob started to laugh with Ace's reply. While they were talking, Freddie, the one who was with Ace and Jacob in the evening, walked to them with his drink glass in his hand. He sat beside Jacob, asking, “What’s the matter?”“Talking about the fun we had in the evenin
The Rivals Edwin's plan
Frustration gripped through Edwin, as soon as he saw Ace. He wanted to talk to Kate peacefully, but the entry of Ace from nowhere, made him irritated.“Ace, please leave.” Edwin said glaring at him.Ace dragged the chair that was beside him and sat on it asking “Oh Edwin, are we disturbing your privacy?”Jacob sat beside Kate, smiling at her genuinely. He saw Kate in the inter college competition, in which they lost. From then, he had been roaming around her, asking her out but she didn’t accept him as she had been loving Edwin. Jacob's crush on Kate was a secret, no one knew except Ace. Jacob didn't tell anyone as he didn't want his teammates to misunderstand him and Kate also didn't tell anyone as she didn't want to create more problems.Kate held her forehead with her palms when she noticed Jacob staring at her. He kept looking at her without even blinking that was irritating her more.Edwin asked looking at A
The Rivals Unbelievable
Edwin set his hair one final time before stepping out of his house. He stood outside locking the doors and called Ralph. Before the call connected to Ralph, Ralph was in front of Edwin in his car. Smiling at Ralph, Edwin cut the call and got in the car. “So, how did it go? Leila and you... last night...” Edwin asked giving a playful smirk. “Don’t expect much. It was a dinner date, that’s it. But I’m happy that I spent sometime with her.” Ralph said with a bright smile on his face. “You really love her, don’t you?” Edwin scoffed. Ralph kept quiet while his face proved that he was blushing. Edwin’s eyes widened looking at his blushed cheeks. Edwin shouted “Bro, what am I seeing? You are blushing.” He laughed out loud. “What’s the surprise, Ed? Don’t boys blush?” Ralph asked while focusing on the road. Edwin continued laughing as he kept teasing Ralph. Then they reached one of their friends house, where a casual party was th
The Rivals Sleepless night
Edwin couldn’t forget the words the man said last night. He tried to ignore them, but he was unable to get those words off his head. He never saw Ace helping or talking to someone politely. Ace, being good, was unimaginable to him. While he was getting ready for his college, his cell phone buzzed. Seeing Liam’s name on the screen, joy overtook him. “Hey Li.” Edwin spoke, smiling. “Hey Ed. Done with your last night hangover?” Liam asked, laughing. “Not totally, but I have to attend classes.” Then Liam apologized to him for not being with him, last night. They both talked for a few minutes, and Edwin left for his college. After a few hours of boring classes, he reached his basketball court to practice. He told Ralph that happened last night, and for Ralph too it felt shocking and unbelievable. That’s how much, Ace showed his evil side to them. Following two hours of practicing, everyone left to their houses. Taking rest for an ho

The Rivals Miss you
Ace was beyond angry not just with Edwin but with everything and everyone. Edwin was not even giving an eye contact with him that was shattering him. He kept trying to talk to him, convince him but Edwin’s ignorance was making him broken. He never felt so much about anything or anyone like he was feeling for Edwin.He kept trying to make everything normal, sending gifts, acting so gentle to win him back but little did he knew those were not the things Edwin wanted, he just wanted Ace to support him and be with him no matter what the situation was.As for Ace, he couldn’t clearly understand what else he had to do to win his heart again. The angry look on Edwin’s face whenever they met unknowingly was making him go crazy. Apart from that, the thought of Edwin had moved on was sending chills across his spine. He didn’t want Edwin to forget him. He wanted him in his life, all his life.“I don’t understand what to do, Jacob.”
The Rivals Crying?
Ace thought Edwin’s anger would fade away with days. He thought Edwin would talk to him again but nothing happened like he assumed, instead their relationship was totally falling apart. Seeing the only person, whom he loved from his depth of the heart, hating him, Ace couldn’t keep himself calm. It was hurting him too much. The mental stress that he was carrying was so much that he felt he would go mad someday.Though he knew what he told Edwin or what he decided to do was wrong, he couldn’t help it. He saw no other option before him. All the time Edwin’s thoughts were consuming in his head and he was not even concentrating on his game, the last game, which was coming so near. Jacob tried to patch them up but he failed in convincing Edwin.On the other hand, Edwin was feeling the same as Ace. He was feeling restless. He wanted to see Ace, talk to him, touch him but whatever Ace said never left him and it kept reminding him how selfish Ace was an
The Rivals Hate you
Ace held his head with his palms, falling onto his knees. Seeing Edwin walking away, he was shattered. He felt he was not just walking out from the house but from his life. He didn’t mean to talk like that, he wanted to convince him but the frustration he had been carrying within himself got the best out of it and the choice of his words made the situation worse.He had been keeping himself away from Edwin only to stay near him in the future but he couldn’t assume the things that would happen with his decision.Immediately, he ran out calling Edwin’s name to stop him but he was not much lucky. By the time he walked out, Edwin already left from there. Ace walked out hoping to see him on the street and he walked on the streets looking at the surroundings. When he reached the main road, as he wished Edwin was walking on the street but before he reached him Edwin took the passenger bus that was stopped near the signal and left from there.“Ed
The Rivals Over
Edwin kept checking his cell phone, waiting for Ace's reply. He was not even concentrating on his work as he kept thinking about Ace all the time. When he heard the notification sound, he got excited to see the reply but after seeing it, his heart shrank.Ace: Ed, so sorry. I am going out with Jacob. I will meet you later.Edwin just stared at the message swallowing down his sadness. He badly wanted to meet Ace and share everything that he had been doing at the office with him but Ace seemed he was not at all interested in it. It reminded him of Liam, and the days when he used to die to meet Liam but he kept turning down his ideas.Without giving any reply, Edwin turned off his phone to focus on his laptop. Although he was not at all interested to concentrate on his work, he couldn’t risk getting thrown out from there. After a few hours of his work, he reached his home. His mind was clouded with many thoughts and his already overthinking state became more.
The Rivals Internship
The next day Edwin’s parents began to leave. His father didn’t talk to him since last night that hurt Edwin. Even though he kept trying to talk, his father was ignoring him and that ignorance shattered him. He could understand his father was too much angry on him but he couldn’t see his father ignoring him. While his father was in his bedroom packing his bag, Edwin entered in. His father gave him a look and continued his work ignoring him. “Won’t you talk to me?” Edwin asked looking at his father. “What’s there to talk?” his father replied, angrily. “Nothing?” Edwin’s eyes welled up with tears. “If you are angry then hit me, dad. But please don’t ignore me.” “What can I do, Ed?” His father shouted. “Do you know what you are doing? Do you really understand?” he scoffed. “A homo? Really?” Edwin bent his head down swallowing down his emotions. His father continued “How can you even say that? Don’t you know the things that you will face once everyone knows it?” Edwin slightly nodde
The Rivals Dinner
“We are so happy to see you after a long time.” Edwin’s mother spoke welcoming Kate and Ralph. “We are equally happy, aunt. It’s so good to see you.” Kate replied hugging her. Ralph shook his hand with Edwin’s father, greeting him. They all stepped inside the house and began conversing, casually. “Ed, invite your friend, Ace too. Let’s have dinner together.” Edwin’s father announced that surprised Ralph and Kate, a little. “You know Ace?” Ralph questioned and Edwin pressed his lips together but he didn’t try to convince him or divert the topic. He let Ralph and Kate to know everything. While his father kept saying things about Edwin and Ace, how they both used to visit the town, Ralph and Kate, stunned. For Kate, the doubt of Edwin in relationship with Ace multiplied, but she didn’t dare to ask Edwin although she wanted to know what was going on between them. While they kept talking, Ace and Jacob entered in. Seeing Jacob, Kate’s smile widened just as Edwin’s face brightened when
