Lover

my best friend is a complete dick.

I walk passed him every single day - yet he's still a stranger to me. I want to get to know him. By 'him' I mean Cam. Cameron Ärio. He's really pretty; Gorgeous in fact. But he doesn't even know I exist, probably. All I know about him is he is really smart, good at English, and he's gay. But why'd he want to talk to me? I'm a football lad. He probably thinks I'm homophobic, like the rest of the guys on the football team. I know that if I talk to him, my mates will call me gay, which I'm not. And he'd get bullied even more for being gay. I'm supposed to be the guy who dates girls "for the laughs" or the "heartbreaker" but I don't like those titles, in fact, I don't think people should put others in a genre. It's just rude. Like I'm straight, 100%, I think. I mean, I've never fell for a girl - but I've never fell for a guy either. Sure I've had a few girlfriends, but non of them I actually fell hard for, it was always peer pressure or a tiny crush, nothing more. But cam, from what I heard, he's really nice. Me and him have history, German and PE together. He's not the best at PE, but he tries. He sits right in front of me in history, yet I've never even talked to him. I mean, I've helped him pick up his books after he dropped them once in year 7,but then everyone called us gay, and really homophobic slurs. That's why I don't want to risk talking to him, in case that happens again. He always has his head phones in, and his leather jacket on. He has a little pride flag hanging out his bag too. He seems cool.

"Lads, hurry up and get changed. Practice is in 5mins." Shouts Mr.mark. I get changed and run outside. "Ok, lads. 5 laps, NOW." Mr. Mark says, sounding exhausted. I looked at him and nodded, then started to run. I catch with my best mate, Key. "Hey, key what time does the maths homework have to be in by?" I ask him, trying to start a conversation. "Uh, mate we had to hand it in like 4 days ago? On Monday?" "Shit" I exclaim. "Why, ain't you done it? " he asks. "No, have I fuck." "Ha, well your screwed bud. Good luck. " "do you think Mr. Connlion will care?" I ask, really hoping he's say no. "Well, going off the fact that he already gave me and six others detention for it, yea mate, he's gonna care." I look at key and sigh. Then I look in front of me and see cam, how is he already in front of me and key? What the fuck? "Oy look, it's gay boy cammy" shouts key, and I look at him, not angry, but disappointed. I tug on keys shoulder as if to say 'come over here, let's have a break.' He gets the hint and follows me. "What the fuck man?" I say to him, really out of breath. "What man, it's just a joke." He says, laughing straight after. "No, it's not though is it? You do it all the time Keylan, I'm done with you being so homophobic all the bloody time. I get it, we all do. Your secretly gay but you're to ashamed to admit it so you bully gay kids. Just to make you feel better, but why? Huh? Why do YOU, feel the need to bully gay kids? You don't NEED to do it, Key. You know that. You're just being a real dick head." I yell at him. He stops and looks at me - completely speechless. "Well, ?" I say to him, stepping closer to him "do you feel you have the right to bully people? News flash, ya don't. So stop being a prick, pull your thumb out your ass, and be a responsible and respectful guy." He looks at me and grabs my neck and pulls me closer, "I'm not the gay one here, buddy. I've seen the way you look at Cameron; we all have. If you're not careful, I'll out you to the WHOLE school, do you here me? You and him are worthless, pathetic, discussing, f*gs." I look at him with pure anger, and before I knew it I'd hit him, and he's lying on the floor; unconscious. Mr. Mark runs over and chucks me to the side and picks up key "Keylan, are you ok?" - there was no answer. "Sam go to SST. NOW." I nod and go. SST stands for student support team. You get sent there if you have poor mental health, or something like that. Or if you're in trouble, like I am. I know I'm gonna get excluded, but oh well. It's not like cam will find out why, I hope.

Mr. Tip walks in, head high and looking like a complete twat like usual. "Sam" "mr.tip" I reply with, with a bad attitude. "Come to my office. " I look at him and role my eyes. Mr. Tip is the head of my school, so I'm in big trouble. "Do you know why you're here? " he asks me, as if to call me dumb. "Yes, obviously. " I say. "Good," he snarled "so you probably under why you're getting an exclusion then?" "Yup." I sigh. "Ok, I'll call your mum to come pick you up then." "K" I reply with. I couldn't give to flying fucks what he does. I know my mum will understand my reasons. "It's gonna be a day exclusion ok?" Mr. Tip asks me, as if I had a choice. I just nod and sigh, I'm already done with his bull shit. Finally my mum comes and takes me home; I explain it all and she understood, as I knew she would. As soon as I get home I go to my room and text kar, my best friend. Me and her have been friends since primary school. She's so nice. I vent to her all the time -and she always understands me. Her girlfriend, lily, is amazing too.
