Wanted Is Love [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 34

Class was about to end. My eyes were having a staring contest with the clock. It was probably going to win considering the fact that it didn’t have eyes so it wasn’t going to blink any time soon. I couldn’t help but to look at it though. I had finally perfected the art of telling time. Well, with one of those ancient ones that has hands. All of the clocks in my house were digital. Gigantic red numbers on a black background all around the house.

School was just about to be released. Less than two minutes between now and freedom. I felt a hand on top of mine. I looked over to see Alec smiling at me. I smiled back. I quickly looked to the back of the room to see Amy sitting alone in the last row. She looked as though she was writing down whatever scribbles were on the board but she could have been doodling. She had her headphones in. I assumed that since it was sixth period and she had made it through the entire last day before Thanksgiving break, to mellow things down, she was listening to The Lumineers. Yeah, if you were wondering why I wanted the bell to ring, it was because I was to be free for a week from this place.

The bell finally rang and pretty much every kid in the class had rushed out of class. I started to pack my things up and Alec did the same. School was finally out. Well, for a little bit. Amy walked past us without saying anything. That’s how it has been. She seemed really angry. I mean, I understand what I had done was bad. I just didn’t think it was that bad. In this class and any other class I had with her, we sat as far from each other as possible. In first period, luckily I had Alec to sit next to. In fifth period though, I was the alone one. Skyler sat with Amy and Steve had finally fulfilled my wish for him to stop annoying me. Though, I honestly would have been okay if he talked to me so that I had someone. Oh, and Stella was back to her old ways. She didn’t show up to school today or the past few.

Alec and I made it to his car. I felt a little bad having Alec take me to school and back each day. He didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I told him that I would try to find a way to repay him. He said that having to deal with Chance on both trips was punishment enough. Speaking of, he has been staying home for the past few days. Alec says that he got a sudden case of the flu. I think that it had to do with the whole ‘Steve and everybody likes you, not me’ thing. I felt bad for him. He wasn’t that annoying. He was just misunderstood. I told Alec that I would actually repay him. Until then, I was hoping for any possible way to get Amy to become friends with me again. Yeah, doesn’t look like it’s happening anytime soon. Is it me or is she getting a little crazy? She yells a lot and hates when I thwart her plans. Does anybody else come to mind? Okay, I know that she isn’t Natalia, but she has seriously been acting pretty Natalia-ish. I ruled out the possibility of Natalia randomly taking over Amy’s body. This isn’t some science fiction movie. Also, I have seen Natalia around.

Alec and I sat in his car for a bit. He stared at me and I started blankly out the window. He started to scoot in closer and I finally turned my gaze back to him. He leaned in and we kissed for a second. Once we were apart, I turned back to the window. He started up the car. As we pulled out of the parking lot I thought about how weird it would be, like every day, to see Amy since she lives next to me and we aren’t talking. I looked in the opposite direction of my house. I saw a road that led out of town.

“Hey, do you mind not taking me home right away?” I spoke.

“Uh, sure. I have to be home by 4:30, though,” he replied.

“Perfect,” I smiled. “Wait, why 4:30? That’s quite specific.”

“Family dinner thing,” he answered. “We are going into the city for a special dinner or something.”

“Sounds nice. I wish my family had special dinners.”

“It’s not as great as you’d think. I would rather be with you,” he flirted. I smiled. “Alright, so where do you want to go?”
