Dragon in the Sea.

Bullying those bullies . Part 19

Drake was already waiting for Sea at the canteen , he was nervous , were was that confident guy from a while ago . What happened to honesty will get you somewhere . But what if Sea rejects him , he didn't think he could handle rejection . Maybe it is better to test the waters a bit , beeing a bit more flirty , watch how he reacts to his flirting. Not only flirting , but Drake was planning to court him seriously . Giving him all of his attention. That raised the question again , how to spend more time with him ? He was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder , he jumped up and saw Sea standing next to him "Sorry I'm a bit late , the teacher wouldn't let us leave before we finished our tests on our samples and then we had to clean our lab materials too!" he said frustrated . "It's ok , I just got here too , what do you want to eat , my treat ." he said . He was lying since he got here first before anyone else ,but he didn't want Sea to feel guilty for beeing tardy. Sea snickered mischievous "How about the fishcurry we didn't get to eat properly when we first met here ??" Drake laughed " That's a great idea , we can do a do over of our first encounter, but this time no arguing , I hate cold food !" 

They went to get their food and sat down , while eating they each secretly glanced at  each other. Who would start talking first ...? "So how was it with your father , I saw he was happy to see you yesterday ." Drake casually inquired . "It was all good , dad was happy to see me safe and sound and we had a good conversation .He was sorry for leaving me alone so much because of his job , he promised to make more time for me , maybe even take the time to teach me how to drive ."  "I asked him a while ago when I searched for a job to save money for a car , but him beeing a doctor and having so much shifts at the hospital he was afraid he couldn't teach me ." Sea said disappointed . "Why don't I teach you !" Drake stated out of the blue. Sea's head shot up and he looked surprised at Drake. "You would do that for me ? " 

Drake tried to sound as calm as possible , he felt as the Gods granted him his wish to spend more time with Sea , and here it was , just landed in his lap! "Off course , we are friends , and I told you when we pinky sweared you can ask me anything !" he kept his head down trying to act al casual while eating his food. "I'll even let you drive my baby !"  "Your baby??" said Sea wondering what he meant by that . " My car Sea , or do you have one already??" "Oh right your car , that's your baby !" he snickered . "Don't laugh at my baby , I saved all my money to buy her and me and granddad worked all summer to get her in mint condition!' Drake was serious about his car . "Alright , alright , I won't laugh with your 'baby' but are you sure you want me to learn how to drive with it, what if I bump into something?" "Then don't bump into something , don't you have confidence in my teaching abillity??"Drake asked . " When do we start ."Sea just asked . "As soon as mom releases my baby out of prison!" Sea looked surprised "Prison???" "Don't ask !" Drake waved his finger in front of his face . Sea just grinned .

Lunch was over and Sea wanted to leave for class but Drake stopped him by holding his hand , he softly cirkled his thumb over Sea's fingers " Where do I pick you up after school ? Maybe you better wait for me at the bike rack , I'll take you to work, ok?" He then looked from their hands into Sea's eyes , he was looking for a reaction , and boy he got one ! Sea's eyes were like dark blue pools , the look he gave him made Drake almost melt under the table like an ice cream on a hot summer day . Well there is your proof he feels something too ! He let go of his hand and Sea couldn't get away fast enough . He needed to get away from him , if he were to function normally in class he had to calm down first , his heart was beating so fast , he was likely going to have a heart attack. He locked himself into the toilet and ran the cold water tap . He splashed his face , fuck this , he just put his head under the tap , cooling himself down. He took some paper towels and tried to dry his hair and with his fingers he combed it a bit decent. It looked terrible actually , but it will have to make do for now. 

Class was a disaster , for both of them , but the end was near , Drake was literally counting the minutes before the bell rang . And Sea was almost tempted to tamper with that damn clock and push it forwards. "Class dismissed !" the teacher announced . Drake just grabbed his back pack and left . He rushed down the stairs when suddenly someone stopped him . It was a girl from his class " Hey Drake , I'm Lisa , I attend your class , I was wondering if you could give me your number or IG , maybe facebook? I really like you , since I never saw you hang out with a girl , I assumed you are single . So if I am not too forward I would like to ask you on a date , maybe a movie or something?" Drake was getting a little irritated , Sea was waiting for him , but he didn't want to be harsh to his classmate so he tried to be polite . " Well Lisa , I'm flattered actually , but I have to be somewhere , someone is waiting for me , I'm gonna be late ." he said impatiently. "Oh , I don't mean to keep you , but at least give me your number , so we can chat or maybe arrange a date for a movie ?" she gave her phone to him . "I'm sorry Lisa , but actually , I have someone I'm interested in , and HE is waiting for me !!" He emphasised the HE and Lisa went a bit pale . "Oh ....HE is waiting ....oh ok , I'm sorry to have bothered you !" Drake handed her the phone back and rushed down the stairs 'Damn girl , Sea will be thinking I'm not coming'  he ran outside . 

Sea was indeed waiting , he found Drake's bike and sat on the back keeping an eye out for Drake. When suddenly he got slammed in the back . He flew of the bike and tried to keep his balance so he wouldn't fall on the ground. He turned around , and yes , it was the bully gang again !! " Well well Sea , long time no see, I hope you brought money today , it has been a while , I guess you could save up a little more than last time , me and my friends hardly could pay for a drink with that money ! " Sea was not gonna give them anything  " Aren't you tired of bullying all the freshies for their money , if you paid as much attention in class as you do to us freshies, you might even graduate and earn some honest money , how many years did you redo??" he knew he was making him angry , but he was not gonna let that bully win this time . " What did you say ?? Did you just insult me ?" "No , I wouldn't dare , I just insulted your intelligence ...or rather lack off , two years I believe it is , your parents must be proud of you for throwing their money out the window on tuition fees. No wonder you have to extort us for money !" Boss, the bully was seeing red , his eyes bloodshot"I'll make you pay for this Sea , boys ...get that stupid kid , teach him a lesson he won't forget !" The gang came closer , cracking their knuckles .  Suddenly another voice interrupted them " Why don't you guys teach me that lesson , I'm sure I have a lot to learn!"  Drake pulled Sea towards him and he placed himself between the bullies and Sea. 

Boss knew Drake , he was the new kid in class but he didn't even speak to him , and how does he know that Sea kid. " Drake , this is none of your bussiness , step away , he just insulted me , I need to teach him a lesson , he can't get away with that !" "I heard what he said , and I think he hit the nail on the head , the thruth hurts doesn't it Boss ." he said . " What , are you defending him , you are my classmate , you have to stand by your faculty member !"  "Not if he is a bully . Let me tell you something , I really hate bullies , don't care if you are in my class or whatnot, if you are  a bully , you are never gonna be my friend , oh and I hate it when you touch my friends ! " "Sea , did he hurt you , did he touch you ? " Drake wanted to know , he wouldn't mind beating the crap out of them all if they hurt even a hair on Sea's head ! " I'm alright Drake , just a little push , nothing serious , we better leave now !"  he pulled him away . But Boss wasn't gonna let it slide , he lashed out with his fist and tried to hit Drake in the face . 

Drake saw it coming , he ducked and threw his fist in Boss's stomach , he collapsed to the ground, both hands on his belly . " I think you better give up , I have years of boxing training , you can't even touch me , so quit while you still can , no harm done so far , but if you keep bothering Sea I'll make sure you'll get a free boxing class from me , no tuition fee needed!" He looked at the rest of the gang "I think you should find a new hobby and a new leader , he is a bad example !" he turned around and put his arm around Sea  " Let's go , we're done here !" Sea just looked at him in awe . If he didn't love him before he sure as hell did now!!
