Friends with Benefits • A J2 Story

Chapter 1- Jared's Pov

*edited*

I walked down the hall of my new High school. Here I was cool. Here I was wanted.

I moved to Dallas, Texas only six months ago, and I was already hanging with the popular kids. When I was still in at San Angelo, I didn't quite fit in. I wasn't per say 'Normal' enough compared to everyone else. I mean, I was still as capable as any other, it was just I had a different perspective of love.

Okay, I'll put it to you straight; I'm gay. I first noticed when I wasn't into girls. It was beginning of Freshman year, and it was like they never existed in my eyes. Then I started seeing guys as attractive. Now that freaked me out! Like seriously, I grew up thing it wasn't normal for guys to like other guys, so it was only natural to think I was a freak.

But lucky for me, my father got a promotion, and I got a fresh start. Here I'm considered popular. And no I haven't shared my secret with anyone; I can't take that chance. I've learned to keep my interests secret. But there is this one guy who I can't stop obsessing over ever since I laid eyes on him. Jensen Ackles is his name.

I know I can't reveal my big secret to him- especially because he would just run. I absolutely wouldn't have a chance with him cause he's totally straight. Then there is the whole best buddies thing we got going here. Once I moved here, the worst of them all deigned to call me his new pal.

I didn't really care that I was being tossed around like a new toy; I kind of liked the attention, to tell you the truth. In the process, I got to hang out with Jensen at least. The first time I realized I had a crush on him was when he started acting like himself around me. Like his Real Self. I never see that Jensen much anymore. He claims it's because he has to keep that 'don't fuck with me' reputation and all. I don't blame him for changing who he was for others... It's easier sometimes.

I walked over to my locker, and there waiting for me, was the guy of my hopeless little dreams. In his hands were nothing but his phone. Like usual: no books.

"Hey J-Dawg, you wanna ditch?" Jensen asked, using his ridiculous nickname for me.

"You do know that's against the rules, right?" I mumbled. Part of me was hoping Jensen didn't hear the snarky remark, but of course, he did.

"You and your fucking rules. Come on live a little." He cooed. He waited for a response of any kind, but I refused to give in. He continued when he figured I wouldn't say anything. "Seriously dude, there's gonna be plenty of schools, you won't miss much. Jared come on, you can't let your best friend down now."

I rolled my eyes and shoved all my books into my locker. Jensen whooped and hollered as he took that as a yes. We've done this before like four or five times already, so what was the odds of them catching us this time?

We sneaked out the back of the school, watching out for any roaming teachers. Jensen dug into his pocket and pulled out his new Chevy truck keys, while not slowing his steady jog. He waved them around his middle finger in the air then tossing them towards me. I fumbled as I almost missed.

"Well, I thought you would want to try it out yourself." Jensen chuckled.

"Ya! Of course!" I exclaim. Since I didn't have my own car, I never got the chance to drive (except when I'm with Jensen that is). My family was sorta on a limit for money so my sister and I got the run of it.

We get in and I turn the key,  watching as it rumbled to life.

"Listen to this baby purr!" Jensen stated in awe letting out a whistle of appreciation. I nodded in agreement and headed off.
