Days had been passing, and only a few months left for the competition. Everyone began practising too much though they had few months time, as both of the colleges didn’t want to lose the competition that year.
Edwin was in the classroom, trying to focus on his boring classes. Though his eyes started to droop, he kept trying so hard to concentrate on the classes as he had been neglecting his studies from many days.
Unable to concentrate, he started noticing his fellow students. Ralph was gazing at Leila, who returned from her trip yesterday, while few of his teammates were already sleeping. His gaze then fell on Kate, who sat on the chair next to him. She looked tensed. She had been texting over her cell phone, in a nervous way. She was pressing her palms together, chewing her lips.
He thought of calling out her name but he dropped the idea as the entire classroom was silent except the voice of their Professor. He slowly leaned sideways, and hit her arm for
Ace was at his house, thinking about the incident that happened with Edwin, a few hours ago. He didn’t understand why he reacted in such a way, that could’ve exposed the truth about him. All he had been doing with Edwin, was torturing him but whatever he felt because of his touch few hours before, wasn’t something normal to him. It was irritating him.‘Am I still feeling guilt?’ He questioned himself when he began thinking about Edwin too much. It was clearly not guilt as it already faded when he helped for Edwin’s mom's treatment.He shook his head annoyed, mumbling “Why the fuck do you always disturb me, Edwin?”He turned on the music to enjoy his favourite beats. When it wasn’t helping, he started to drink alcohol to deviate.When he was involved in his thoughts, Olivia walked to him, that increased his irritation. As usual, they both began fighting over their relationship topic, that’s when F
Olivia stood in front of the bed, while Ace was there, unconscious. She looked at him seductively, licking her lips. Bent to his level, she started taking off his shirt while running her fingers on his chest that was tempting her more. After all, Ace was the most handsome guy, she had ever seen.She took off Ace’s shirt then her top. She started to trail her fingers on Ace’s muscular body that was heating her body up. Bringing her lips close to Ace's chest, she placed a kiss on his body then continued kissing till she reached his perfect abs.“Look, what you’ve made me to do.” She rolled her eyes.She then began unbuttoning Ace's pants that’s when she noticed the door unlocking from outside that trembled her. Before she could do anything, Edwin barged in along with the server, who drugged Ace.Edwin’s gaze fell on Ace, who was looking hotter than usual. He kept gawking at him, forgetting the purpose of his entry.
Edwin was at his college, practicing his game along with his teammates. He was so tired with his long practicing hours, and with his part time job but he was sure that he shouldn’t neglect his practice till the competition got finished.His coach walked towards him, when he was on the chair, relaxing himself for a few minutes. He said “Edwin, tomorrow you should go to the organizers and give them the list of the sports, the names of our teammates, and all other related things.”It added more to his already stressed state. There was an organisation that organizes the events partnered with almost all the top colleges, and every year, it was them, who kept organizing every competition. Unlike the regular organisations, it not sponsored only one college but many. And there were many of the organisations like them, that were partnered with few other colleges.“Why can’t you send some other? Coach, I...”“Don’t sa
Kate and Jacob, were in a restaurant talking to eachother. Kate was so angry on Jacob as he said he was going away for only two days but he took so long to return and Jacob was convincing his little angry bird.As usual, Edwin and Ace, were guarding them while eavesdropping their conversation. Ace was getting irritated with their stupid conversation whereas Edwin was enjoying it.“Too much drama.” Ace rolled his eyes.“Everything is a drama to you.” Edwin scoffed.“Oh man, I can understand the feeling of crush and love, as...” Ace was about to slip his tongue while recalling his memories with Brad, yet he controlled himself. He continued “But they both are doing too much drama. I wonder how you are enjoying it. What more, you hate my friend too.”“Of course. But Kate is so happy with him. As long as she is happy, I try to support them.”Ace shook his head, sideways, averting h
Ace and Edwin’s relationship kept growing, with each day. Whenever Kate and Jacob, planned any secret meet, Ace and Edwin guarded them as a result they both got the time for themselves to talk, to create a bond between them.They both saved their numbers with other names so that any of their friends or the college mates would notice it. They began talking over the phone sometimes if anything needed but only for a few seconds. But how much they treat eachother, normally, they were always the rivals as long as they belonged to the opposite colleges.Ace’s feelings on Edwin was increasing that confused him. He didn’t know when he fell for Edwin but all he knew was he was getting attracted to him so much and he felt like he wanted him. He was afraid to accept his feelings on Edwin. Moreover, he didn’t know what his exact feelings were.Ace, Jacob and Freddie, were in Ace’s guesthouse, enjoying themselves with loud music, booze and danci
Ace and Jacob, were shocked to hear Olivia’s approval for date with Freddie. Although, it was the least thing that concerned Ace, he didn’t like his friend to hangout with the girl, who was insane.“Are you really sure you want to be with her?” Ace made a disgusted face.“Oh, please don’t make that face, Ace.” Freddie shook his head.“Come on bro, you’ll get a better girl.” Ace tried to convince him but Freddie didn’t want to listen to him.“Ace, don’t tell me you are jealous.” Freddie chuckled.“Fuck you, dude. Do whatever you want with her. I don’t care.” He rolled his eyes.Jacob and Freddie started to laugh with Ace's irritation. Freddie got a call from Olivia, and started to talk to her, walking away from there. Jacob also involved in texting Kate, leaving Ace in his thoughts.For some unknown reason, he remembered Edwin. He noti
After taking bath, Edwin looked at the clothes to pick. He kept smiling while remembering it was valentine’s day and he was going to meet Liam. Taking a white shirt along with a formal pant, which Liam always loved on him, Edwin got dressed. His cell phone kept continuously buzzing with the messages from his friends, asking him to reach college soon. As he was the volunteer, he had works, which needed to be taken care of. Ignoring his friends' messages and calls, he kept staring at his chat with Liam. Their late-night conversation of valentine’s wishes to eachother. Then he opened his gallery and zoomed in Liam’s picture to kiss him. After a few minutes, he left to his college. Edwin was involved in organizing the event, looking after the decorations and every other thing. He spent all the day there, kept himself busy with the works. In the evening, he got ready in his college hostel as it would take time to go home and return. The party was started and every
Edwin couldn’t sleep that night. Although Ace promised him that he wouldn’t tell anyone, Edwin didn’t feel peaceful. He wasn’t ready to trust Ace, completely. A part of him kept saying Ace would bring trouble to him one way or other.He was at his home, still thinking about the incident that happened at the park. He wanted to tell Liam about that but he kept refraining himself from doing so. As Liam would get definitely angry, Edwin was not ready to tell him about that but his inner self kept pestering him to share it with Liam.He tried to sleep ignoring everything but the attempt was going unsuccessful. Sometime in the late night, he dozed off.“He is a gay. Not one of us.” Everyone in his college, started pointing him.“We are not going to play along with him.” His teammates began going away from him. With all the ignorance, Edwin’s heart got broken and tears formed in
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. Arthur raged at his son for what he had done and again tried to brainwash
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
Edwin 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
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.”
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
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
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 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
“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
