Meant For You

Chapter 2

Jack's POV

     First period went by really slow. It was a regular French period with all the same boring material and fake people. None of the boys in this school will talk to me and all of my friends that are girls just want a gay friend to go shopping with.
     I can't believe I told Tyler. I genuinely thought I could trust him but the first person he tells is Caitlyn, the 'Queen B' of our school (B standing for bitch) and she actually made flyers. I was so embarrassed that day I had to leave school.
     As I walk down the hallway, people turn their heads to look at me. Some just look while others say say rude things user their breath. By now I'm used to it but it's still annoying as hell. Some are looks of disgust and some are looks of pity.
     I couldn't stop thinking of what had happened this morning. I didn't expect Alex Parker to stop a fight. I didn't know him very well but he didn't seem like a terrible person he was just friends with terrible people.
     Next I had history with Alex, Thomas, and Riley. Thomas was pretty nice and so was Riley. They had been together for two months.
     I arrived to class late because I had to exchange my shitty textbook that Joe ruined with a new one.
     "Mr. Carson, it's nice for you to show up to class." Mrs. McMahon said, "Have a seat."
     I sat in the back corner. I learned that was the best seat because back here I don't spitballs on the back of my head.
     "Alright everyone, I'm assigning a project that will be worth 20% of your grade this semester and all of you will be participating," Everyone groaned in response. I actually enjoyed history so I didn't mind this new project, "You will pick an important historical event and read three books from different sources on that event. At the end of the semester you will do a report on it and present for the class." That got even more groans,"but you will be in groups of two."
      Mrs. McMahon went through the partner list and just my luck. Damn. I got Alex. Once we got our partners, we met up and talked about what event we wanted to do. I wasn't really paying attention during that time, I was just waiting for class to get out. Alex chose the Holocaust. It was really awkward between us. If there was ever a silence in the conversation, Alex would tell some stupid joke. I already knew that I would be doing all the work.
     Finally the dismissal bell rang and we all walked out of class. My next class was study hall.
     "Jack! Wait up!" Alex called from about fifty feet away. He hurried over to me which was odd because well he's him and well, I'm me.
     "Do you want to meet up at my house or yours?" he asked.
"What?" I said confused. "Oh, um, let's do your house."
     "Cool." and then he walked over to his girlfriend Taylor.
     I made my way to study hall. When I got there I went to the table in the back and slumped down next to some kid named Steven.
     He was kind of a weird kid but he was the only one in the class that didn't care that I was gay and actually let me sit with him. I pulled out my math book and started to work on the homework I didn't finish from the previous day.
     I had just a few problems left when Ethan sat down next to me. He was pretty hot but his personality was one of the worst. Before I had actually come out, him and I hooked up a few times, but that was it. Ethan was bisexual and a douche. 85% of the time he acted stoned but he didn't have the balls to actually do it.
     "So what are you doing this weekend?" he said with a smirk.
     "Nope, I'm busy all this weekend, sorry." I said in a monotone voice. I was actually completely free this weekend but I didn't want to see him.
     "Your loss." he got up and left.
     I finished up the homework and packed up my things. I walked across the courtyard to my car in the rain. It was freezing but I didn't care. I loved the cold. As I was walking I locked eyes with Alex. He gave me a friendly smile and a wave but I just kept walking. He looked kind of hurt.
     I sat in the car and ate my lunch. When I was finished, I reclined my chair and closed my eyes.
