All Chapters of Stutter Boy: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

" Michael, shall we go to the auditorium and see the ball for sometime ?", I asked tilting my head to Michael. We were lying on the bed beside each other after dancing to about 20 songs. The time had past 10 : 15 PM." Can we ?", he tilted his head to me. " I really want to s..see Gavin and Grace dancing. ", " Yeah..we can go and watch. C'mon.", I said and already crawled out of the bed. Michael followed behind me. Soon we were running down the plethora of steps, hand in hand. It was almost completely dark but we could see the lights from the far away auditoriums. We headed in direction of the main auditorium of our school as Gavin had earlier texted me, they are there. Within five minutes we reached there and Michael withdrew his hands from me. We walked inside and our eyes were greeted with the fascinating sight of boys and girls dancing, dressed in matching attractive clothes. There were almost 30 couples curr

" Guys, we'll reach there in a minute.", Gavin finally said turning his head to us from the driver's seat. I and Michael were in the back seat and Grace was beside him. The car apparently belongs to his cousin brother, Drake who is studying in a university here and staying at an apartment nearby. So after having lunch from black swan, we got a taxi to Drake's apartment and got his car and key. And Gavin still hasn't told us where he is taking us. For the last half an hour, we have been asking him, but he didn't say a word. Now finally we are about to reach whichever place he intended to take us. Gavin slowed the car and proceeded to park it to a side. I looked out of the window curiously. But I couldn't see anything in particular. " Are we going I- Ice skating !?", Michael asked in surprise, looking out of the window on his side. Ice skating ?? I leaned to his side and found a big green board on the opposite side of the roa

" You know Michael...", Ethan says as we lie on his bed to sleep after the long day. " Uhm...?", I hum. " You are great.", he finishes his sentence. I tilt my head to him and he is smiling at me. " How am I great?", I ask. He opens his palm and starts counting on his fingers. " You are an artist, you are a dancer, you are really good at skating, you are so intelligent, good at studies and you are so handsome like Prince Charming. You are great." " You are so exaggerating. And P..Prince Charming ??", I laugh at him. " No I'm not exaggerating, Prince Charming. ", he smiles at me with his eyes crinkling at the corners. " Shall I call you Prince Charming then ?", he then asks turning his body completely to me and throwing his one arms over my stomach. " You can't....in...in front of others ! ", I say and he smiles wide. " Okay. So Prince Charming, let's sleep. I need to go for pra

I squirm lying on Gavin's bed, my ex-bed, not able to sleep. I guess it's past 2 Am now. Gavin is peacefully sleeping beside me. Grace too is sound asleep on her bed beside us. Only I can't sleep. I feel cold. I'm missing that comforting warmth. " Nate..", Gavin suddenly calls. I involuntarily hum to him. " You haven't slept yet ?", he asks in a sheepish voice. " Yeah..I- I slept.", I quickly say. Gavin let's out a chuckle and turns around, facing me. " Can't sleep without Ethan ?", he asks me with a hint of tease in his voice. " No ! Not that.", I quickly shake my head. " C'mon..it's that. Why arguing ? He will come back in two days.", he says. " No..it's really..not that. I was just thinking about s..something.", I argue back. " Oh what were you thinking about ?", he asks. I was actually thinking about Ethan. " Ahm..about my parents..my sister..."

Wednesday evening as I walk out of the class, I receive a message from Ethan asking me to come to the Basketball court. He and Grace might be there watching Gavin's practice. And probably we are going out to some cafe to have something after that. There's a basketball match coming two weeks later. So the basketballers are practicing zealously, skipping the last hour everyday. Soon I reach the court and as expected, Ethan and Grace are sitting on the side steps. I walk to them and slump down beside Grace. Cause why deviating the attention of these basketballers from their game by sitting beside Ethan ? By now the dating rumour has spread across the whole school and everywhere I go, I receive stares and whispers. Now I've almost come to a state where I don't even bother to listen what they are whispering about me. " You look tired. ", Ethan says bending forward and looking at me. " Last period was so boring.
