Chapter One- Present

  "Zeeeeeeeek.  Zeeeeeeeeek.  Wake uppppppppp."  Austen continued to poke me in the shoulder.

  "Go away."  I rolled over and hid my face under my blankets.

  "Ezekiel!!!  Get up!!!"  He knew I hated my full name, but he still had to use it...   Well, I liked the way he says it...

  "Fine, I'm up."  I sat up slowly and opened my eyes, only to come face to face with a shirtless Austen...  Let's just say I got distracted at that point...

  "Zeek, are you checking me out?"  He teased me as if he really knew I wasn't... Even though I was checking him out...

  "No.  Don't worry, you're not my type."  I hope I'm a good liar...

  "Well then, you're not my type either."  I knew we were just messing around, but the truth of his words peirced a big hole straight through my heart. 

  "Good."  I managed to whisper.  

  "Now get up, we'll be late."  

                 ***

School was boring, as usual.  The only entertaining part of my day was when Austen tried to talk in an English accent...  It was hilarious... and sexy...  But then Kylee had to come ruin everything.  Kylee was Austen's girlfriend.  She was beautiful.  She had long blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes, but I didn't like her.  And before you're all like, "that's cuz she's dating Austen," you're wrong.   Well, of course that's part of it, but she's also snobby, stuck up and is just always thinking about her looks.  I would rather him date a girl who's nice and sweet.  At least then I'd feel bad for hating her.

  "Hey Baby!  I missed you at Caroline's party last night."  She purred at him and plopped herself in his lap.

  "Hey Kylee.  Yea, sorry I couldn't make it.  I was with Zeek last night."  She glanced at me and sent a fake smile.

  "Okay, just don't miss the next party..."  She gave him a big sloppy kiss, which was my cue to look away.  Thankfully, she left leaving me, Austen and our friends Felicity and Naomi.  Felicity was the calm one of our little group, while Naomi was the loud one.  She had bright orange hair at the moment, but I woudn't be surprised if she dyed it again soon.  

  "Hey, I'll see you guys later, I have to go return a book to the library.  I'll see you tonight, right Zeek?"  Austen stood up and looked at me.

  "Yeah.  See you later."  He looked at my untouched food and frowned.

  "Eat something Zeek, it's not healthy to starve yourself like that."

  "I'm not hungry."  I looked down at the table and refused to meet his angelic eyes.  If I did, I would've been shoveling forkful after forkful of food into my mouth.

  "Zeek, look at me."  I shook my head.  I felt the familiar electric spark when he lifted my chin with his fingers, forcing me to look at him.  "Please eat something, for me?"  I sighed and nodded, knowing I would do anything for him.  "Thanks, I'll see you tonight."  He gave me a hug and left.

  "Zeek, what's the matter?"  Naomi gave me a worried look.

  "Nothing, I'm fine."  I took a bite of an apple and shrugged.

  "No, there's something wrong, I can tell.  You were fine earlier, then it seemed like everything changed when Kylee showed up."  She looked as if she was thinking through something, then realization crossed her face.  "You like him, don't you."  

  "Like who?"  I asked nervously.

  "Austen.  You like him."

  "Of course I do he's my best friend.  Wouldn't be weird if I hated my best friend?"  

  "Zeek, you know what I mean."  I sighed.  I'm gonna have to tell them eventualy...

  "I don't like him."  I took a deep breath.

  "Zeek, I now you're lyi-"

  "I love him."  I cut her off mid-sentence and she went speechless.

  "And he doesn't know?"  I shook my head.  "Why don't you tell him?"

  "Because he's my best friend.  If I tell him, all that will change.  I don't want to lose him completely."

  "You don't have to tell him you love him quite yet, just tell him you're gay... or bi... whatever you are."

  "I'm gay, and what if he doesn't accept me."

  "He's your best friend Zeek.  If he doesn't accept you, then there's something wrong with him, not you.  Besides, you never know.  He could be in love with you too."  I snorted.

  "I doubt it."

  "Will you just think about telling him?"  I sighed and nodded.  "Good, now come on, we'll be late to class."  I got up and followed her out of the cafeteria, my mind buzzing with thoughts of Austen.

I hope that was good... sorry its really short though... lol I'll try to make chapter 2 longer :) Pleeeeeeease tell me what you think?
