All Chapters of Don't Touch: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

I looked at my phone to check the time and I was a couple of minutes late walking back to campus. I came early to meet with Luis and we went out to eat at one of the restaurants across campus. It’s Friday and the week went by slow after I left Elliot’s apartment and I’m thinking of going over tonight if I have time. Lucas invited me to a play that is being held on campus, that Andre and Genevieve will be performing, and I promised Lucas that I’ll meet him at five, but I was distracted talking with Luis. I saw Lucas walking over to the main building where we agreed to meet after I told him where I was and he smiled waving at me.“Michael!” He shouted in glee. “It’s great that you text me or I wouldn’t have found you. I thought about waiting at the bus stop since you didn’t have classes today.”“Sorry,” I said, walking over towards him. “I was distracted hanging out with a friend that I haven’t see for a while.”“That’s fine. Now, come on,” Lucas said, grabbing my hand and starting to

I entered the apartment, turning on the light that was near the entrance, and set my things on the couch. It felt a bit cold being alone and I turned on the television wanting there to be some sound to occupy the empty place. Glancing around, the last time I was here was when I spent the night last weekend and we haven’t really talked so much about what we did. It did hurt me a bit, emotionally and physically, but overall it wasn’t a terrible experience since we were able to take things slow. My face felt warm as I remembered the moments when Elliot reassured me multiple times and how the feel of him was far more exhilarating. I went over to the kitchen to grab something to drink and noticed that there were some dishes left in the sink. To occupy my time, I washed the dishes then looked around trying to see what else I can do, but Elliot usually likes to keep his belongings organized compared to me and I don’t want to move anything that might upset him. I thought about the play and th

On Tuesday I met up with Lucas at the library like promised and we were both free for two hours before our next courses. Andre tagged along with him wanting to show me the college newspaper and they picked out one of the photos I took during their performance for the piece; my name was even credited underneath. I looked at it for a long second before glancing at Andre and I wasn’t too sure what to say about it, but I was surprised. Andre brought up the offer for the photoshoot again and I sat back in my chair glancing at the newsletter. It's the first time seeing my name on anything beside a reward certificate that a teacher would give in elementary school.“We’re going to pay you for your time,” Andre continued, then raised an eyebrow like he could read my thoughts. “You want to give it a try, right?”“You trust me to take your photo?” I asked him.“I wouldn’t be bugging if I didn’t,” Andre replied back and moved to sit beside me. “Come on, if I become famous, I’ll be thanking you fi

We all started cleaning up before heading towards the parking lot and I went with Lucas to his car; Andre came with us as usual. During the drive, Andre finally explained more about his audition and that it will be a small part with a few lines. He says that having some lines is better than being put as a background character or a silent role. I tried to understand the difference and we talked about the different career paths that Genevieve studies. I listened curiously until we arrived at the outlet and realized that we were close to the pier that Elliot and I go to. For a moment I was a little upset that he couldn't be here.“Oh, before we go to the stores and I overspend, let me send you the payment for the pictures you took,” Andre said and pulling out his phone then looked up at me. “I’ll make a direct payment on my phone. It’s connected with your phone number right?”“Um, yeah,” I answered shyly as I took out my phone and waited for the alert when I saw the amount he sent me. “W

Thinking over our conversation, I talked more about wanting to get myself a camera and she seemed enthused by this new path I’ve taken. We agreed to go another day once I had an idea of what sort of camera I would like to buy and I thought maybe I should hold off until I was done with my courses to make that choice. Maybe before the semester ends, I should learn a bit more so I can be prepared for the summer and know what to look forward to when I return for the fall. The past few days I spent with Luis in the library as we helped each other and the assignments seemed to grow. It wasn’t a problem, but I knew how busy we would be for the next few weeks and I thought over the invite we had planned for the weekend.On Thursday I went for my appointment to see Doctor Brown and we had to go over a few things because it seemed like she won’t be in the office for a while. It was an odd feeling that we would cut our session short and we haven’t decided on the length of time it will be. She ha
