To Fall In Love

"I got in!"

"Lists of students who got accepted for an internship, check your names on the bulletin board and report to the Dean's office for your letters", the speaker announced and the entire hall went silent. As the clocked ticked slowly, just one tick away from 3 o'clock, the class held it's breath as one thought ran through their head.

'If my name is on that list, I can get a job and my life after university is secured'.

The little hour hand landed on number three and the longer minute hand ticked on 12, the lecturer chuckled closing his laptop and gestured to the door. Every final year burst out of the halls and into the main hallway where three large boards displayed the school news. And on one of them, was the names of the students who will become interns once the exams were over.

"Found my name!" Isa jumped and then looked for her best friend's, she had advised him to apply for newer companies that were just opening up like she had done. "Come on, come on. Ethan... Ethan Chandler!" She gasped squealing. "Uh oh...", Her expression fell immediately as David pointed at his name just below Ethan's.

"I got in!" He clapped kissing his girlfriend deeply, "I'm so glad, you are so awesome babe", Cassie, his blond bimbo girlfriend of three years, said making out with her boyfriend. The sight was unsightly to the other students but no one said anything as they just tried to find their way and check for their names.

"Ethan!" Isa squealed slamming the door of the empty classroom shut, "dude, I'm in here to avoid attention. The class in the next hall probably heard that", Ethan scolded but got ignored.

"Whatever, anyways, I saw your name on the board. You got into Slot B company!" She announced and Ethan gasped his lips stretching into a wide smile. "I did it! Now I just need to endure two months before the exams and I will never see David Othello anymore!" He sighed in happiness.

"About that... It seems like David applied to the same company and... Also got accepted ", she said, the last words coming out in quick succession. "What?" Ethan questioned his spirit crumbling. "Is it too late to apply for another internship already?" He asked broken.

"It is and you are not dumping this internship. They're are affiliated with a huge company, Slot X. Think about your future! If you get through this, you can make enough money to travel away from here and away from him. But you will not jeopardize your future just cause of some stupid homophobe", Isa said after slapping some sense into the boy.

"Al-alright, but you could always comfort without violence, you know?" Ethan sniffed rubbing his red swollen cheeks.

"And why are you so happy?" Xavier's mother asked as they sat down for lunch, "can't I just be happy for no reason anymore, mother? Xavier asked happily serenading his meal with gravy.

"Is it a girl- I mean, a boy", his mother corrected herself, she had only found out a year ago about her son's sexuality and was still coming to terms with it. She wasn't entirely comfortable with it, but she had to learn to live with it for her only son. The only treasure she had from his father aside from wealth that didn't really matter to her.

Tall, fair skinned, sharp facial features and striking ruby like eyes. All gotten from his father.

"It's none of your business", Xavier grinned, in two months he'll meet with this boy that had run away from him. And in two months, he will finish what they had started in that hotel room weeks ago. Why he still cares? He didn't know and didn't get it himself.

He just couldn't forget about him, his white hair that was soft to the touch and his big blue eyes that were clouded by alcohol. His slender fingers that brushed through his hair when they made out and his delicious soft moans that escaped from his lips. And even the cute snores he made when he had passed out.

He wanted to see him again.

"I'm trying to be very supportive and understanding, but you're making it hard", his mother commented interrupting his heavenly thoughts, "don't spoil my mood mother", he snapped resuming to his meal.
