The Journal

Chapter One - Interrupted

Around 10:30 PM, Alexander Bentley got into the shower as usual. After he started puberty about a year ago, he realized that no one would talk to him if he smelled as bad as he did. Anyways, after a quick wash and rinse, he turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist.

Alex walked to his bathroom sink and picked up his toothbrush. I'm fine if it's just tonight. The truth is, Alex despised poor hygene. In fact, he would punish himself for not showering or brushing his teeth. It's not that he didn't feel like brushing his teeth, he just had something on his mind and was too eager to brush his teeth.

He left the bathroom which was thankfully connected to his room and pretty much immediately threw his towel to the floor.

Alex opened his disorganized dresser and pulled out a pair of black boxer breifs, his personal favorite kind. He slipped them onto his lightly toned body and jumped into his unmade bed and turned his phone on. He immediately opened a search engine app and clicked the search bar. "H-O-T-B-O—"

Alex's bedroom door flung open. "GAHH!" Alex exclaimed. It was his older brother Samuel, who had recently turned 16.

"What do you want, Sam?" Alex asked, annoyed that he didn't get to see anything yet.

"My birthday party is tomorrow and you still haven't gotten me anything" the older boy replied.

"I told you a million times. I'm not getting you anything," Alex said, getting out of bed. "And no matter how much you beg me, you still aren't getting anything."

"Oh, come on! I know you have money get something!"

"And?"

"Get me something! Anything!"

"Okay," Alex replied snarkily. "Happy birthday!"

Alex closed the door and locked it as fast as possible. He got back into his bed and reopened the search engine. "Y-S" Search. The boy was met with a slew of pictures, videos, and gifs that he could look at. After he was done swooning, he went back on his phone. This time, he opened the MyJournal app.

WTF?!?! I was about to look at hot men online and Sam BURST into my room!! I even had "HOT BO" already in the search bar. Thankfully, he was in the doorway the entire time, so he didn't see it. In other words, Pasta wasn't at school again today :( I really miss seeing Pasta's face. If they aren't at school tomorrow, they would have been out of school for an entire week. Like come ON what is keeping them oit of school? I miss seeing their pretty face. The things I would do if I had the chance. No one even knows I'm into that stuff. I don't even think I'm supposed to be into that stuff. Anyways, I'm going to bed. Alex out 🤙

Alex put his phone down and tried to fall asleep as best as he could. What's gonna happen tomorrow? Is Pasta gonna be at school? Why am I using the code name for my crush in my thoughts? Thoughts like those plagued his mind for what seemed like forever until he finally drifted off.
