Opposites Attract

Chapter 5

Aaron

Usually I sit with my regular group of friends, but since we have this new science project Cameron and I agreed to meetup at lunch today, to at least start getting an idea of what the hell we're doing. I only agreed because it would be less time I had to spend with him outside of school; which will already be more than enough. I've already asked Sammy to notify the rest of the group about it, so I should be good to go.

Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted as a familiar face takes the seat across from me. "Hey, I was thinking we could do something easy for this project. You know, so we can't screw it up and we'll get an A. All we really have to put effort into is making sure the poster looks neat and professional."

"Yeah that would be easy enough. Who's buying the poster and who's buying the experiment materials?" Cameron's not all that smart, so I'm hoping I can trick him into buying the experiment materials since poster boards are only like, maybe a dollar?

"You buy the materials and I'll buy the poster because if I buy the materials I'll fuck it up." He laughs, and turns his attention back to the food in front of him, but out of the corner of my eye I notice something.

Oh shit, bitch alert. The cafeteria is still rambling with noise, as if I'm the only one to notice a short fake blonde storming up to my table in knock off heels and caked makeup.

"Cameron, I think you're fuck buddy's pissed." His cheeks go red at my remark as he turns around to face Maryah, who looks like she's about to claw someones eyes out with those fake nails of hers.

"Why are you here," Directing her comment towards Cameron, her foots tapping the ground repeatedly like she's his upset mother. "With this weirdo."

Before Cameron can speak up, I chime in, because that was a low blow. "Excuse you? I'm weird. Huh, that's not what your boy toy thought last night when he was giving me tlc." Cameron's wide eyes turn to me with a mixture of embarrassment and shock hidden in them.

"What the fuck is tlc you creep?" She scoffs, and that's when I've had it. Standing up, I walk over to her, making sure to get real close to her ear as she hears these last words.

"Tender. Lovin. Cock." She gasps as I sling my bookbag over my shoulder and proceed to walk away.

"No, no I swear I don't know what he's talking about." I hear Cameron behind me, slightly laughing at what just went down.

Laughing, I find my way to my normal table where they all turn to me in confusion. "Bitch got mad he was at a table with me, so I told her that her boy toy gave me tlc." They all knew what I meant by tlc, and every one of their jaws dropped.

"What was her reaction?" Sammy pipes in, crying with laughter.

Mimicking her reaction, all of them start laughing. Only Sammy knowing that I wasn't lying.

Before I knew it, the rest of the day had gone by. People were talking about the lunch in counter and for Cameron's sake when they asked me I said that I wasn't being serious when I told her that, although it was a good burn.

I only it didn't happen because I'm not that cruel. That is not something that you would want the entire school to know if you weren't ready to come out yet. Never force someone to come out because you don't know how they truly feel, that is like the worst thing ever. Plus, for all I know that could have been just a drunken mistake. We all know how it goes, everyone becomes attractive after a few drinks.

Currently, I'm at Sammy's house. Both of us frustrated with our new partners.

"What the hell are we going to do, Aaron." she groans, throwing a pillow over her face. My exact thoughts right now.
