The Four Letter Word

Reba walked down the hallway to get to her 7th hour class. she felt nervous because her boyfriend Tyler had been acting strange. Was he about to break up with her? 

Tyler had gone to a party last weekend. He hadn't meant to kiss Sarah, ...or Emiley, ...or Erica, ...or Markus, but it had happened, He felt ashamed, and he couldn't bring himself to tell Reba. 

Tyler was stumped on how to get out of the mess, but it had only gotten worse when Markus said he wouldn't give up until Tyler was his. 

Reba arrived at the Biology room to find Tyler and Markus sitting beside each other. She didn't assume anything because she knew they were best friends. What she wondered about was why Tyler looked uncomfortable when Markus scooted closer to him to let Reba sit at their table. 

Markus was frowning at Reba, the stupid bitch that had Ty all to herself. Uhg. Markus wanted Ty; he deserved Ty! Reba had known Tyler for 5 months and Markus? His entire life! Something had to happen to break them up. Soon. And that something was going to be him. 

Tyler smiled at Reba shyly. what was he going to say to her? Especially with Markus sitting so close that he was basically dry humping Ty's leg every time he moved. 

"Hey, Marko? Could you and Reba trade places? I kinda need to say something to her." When Markus gave him a death look he added, "Privately." 

Krissy watched through narrowed eye. She knew exactly what was going on. Markus and Ty were gay for eachother and poor Reba was a blind bat. Krissy grinned evilly and looked at Kilo. "Look at those fags!" pointing at Ty and Markus. Kilo looked at Krissy. "Are you joking?" When she looked at him in confusion he looked at her with disgust. "I'm gay!" He turned his head back to his book. "Stupid bitch." he muttered. 

Tyler was gritting his teeth in anger. Markus kept looking at him: frowning, glaring, or a combination of both. Tyler was upset. He had long since learned he was bisexual, but Markus? He knew Markus was acting this way because his father had beaten him to and inch of his life. Markus was Markus. Ty's best friend. Since forever, but nothing more. Or maybe something after all. Tyler thought of all the late night phone calls, every time he had snuck out to see Marko, and every time they had beaten each other's bullies up. Markus. Tyler scratched his head. Markus or Reba? 

Well, Reba was his girlfriend so he would have to pick her. At least for now. He looked at Reba and smiled. Smiled back, even though she was confused. Why was Markus glaring at her? Why was Ty acting weird? 

"Hey, Ty. I missed you this weekend. Where were you?" Tyler tensed up as Reba said this. Did she know? 

"Yeah. Sorry about that... I was... at Markus's house." Markus looked up as Tyler said his name and smirked. He wished that Ty had been at his house. Then maybe more than a measly kiss would have went down, but no. They had both been at Emiley Allen's place. Terrible party, but free booze and hot drunk guys. Markus made the best of it. When he spotted a drunk Tyler making out with any one in sight, he had jumped at the opportunity. That was just the kind of thing you didn't pass up.

Markus knew it was wrong, deep down, But he loved Tyler… ever since he was eight he had loved Tyler, and now Markus was sure of one thing: he wanted Tyler but he wouldn’t just get him on a silver plate. He would have to fight for Ty.

Markus would fight for Tyler because he loved him… forever and always…
