Bully Love {BoyxBoy}

A "Cool" Idea

Michael's POV

During morning announcements, the principle, Mr. Pike, informed all the seniors about a senior trip to the Ruffle Lake Woods.

That seems very exciting. He says all seniors will stay a week and in that week we'll be taught how to fish and how to make fires. He also said we can swim in the lake and go hiking.

This is too good to pass up. He said anyone interested in going can get a permission slip during lunch. I wonder if Stephen would like to go. I mean, if he wants to see me then he'll go.

I bite my lower lip thinking about him. I didn't see him this morning. I wonder if he's here today. I'll grab an extra permission slip for him.

Lunch Period

I walk immediately to the brochure table. I ask for two permission slips. The woman gives me two. I thank her and get in the lunch line. I can't wait to see Stephen. I think he'll like it.

Most of the seniors probably won't go, so we can be together in public. I grab my plate and sit in a corner table. I don't want to be noticed by any of the "popular" students. They're all mean.

While I eat, someone sits next to me. I freeze. No one sits next to me. I don't know what to do or what to say. Should I even speak? The guy is wearing a dark hoodie and he's covering his face.

He puts his hands on the table and I immediately recognize the tattoos. I let out a sigh of relief. He chuckles and asks,

"Did I scare you? "

I smile and say, "Yes, you did. "

He faces me, all I see is his mouth. He smirks and says,

"I know you want to kiss me, but let's save that for later. "

I blush and say, "I'm glad you're sitting next to me. "

He says, "I know this isn't what you imagined, but its the best I can do. "

I nod and say, "Just take your time. It's difficult for anyone. "

I eat a spoonful of corn, then say,

"Oh! I have something- "

Some corn flies out of my mouth and hits him. I cover my mouth. He freezes, then says,

"That's disgusting, Michael! "

I start laughing, so does Stephen. I say,

"I'm so sorry. "

He says, "I'm guessing the news is exciting. "

I laugh harder and nod. I ask,

"Did you hear the morning announcements? "

He nods. I say, "Well, I thought the field trip sounded exciting, so I got both of us permission forms. "

He gets silent. I had a bad feeling this was going to happen. I quietly and nervously say,

"It..was just a thought... Dumb, I know. Just forget- "

He puts his finger on my lips and says,

"I never said it was dumb. It's a cool idea. I'll think about it, I promise. "

He moves his hood back so I can see his face. He smiles at me and says,

"Nothing you say is dumb. Remember that. "

He checks his watch and says, "I have to go, babe. I'll catch you later. "

He quickly gives me a kiss on the cheek. I blush. He smiles and gets up. I watch him secretly leave. A few minutes later he comes back in, not dressed to hide himself.

He goes over to his friends and they start talking and laughing. Some girls join them. I watch him talk to them and laugh.

I sigh. He didn't take the permission form from me, which means he doesn't want to go. I get up and throw my tray away.

I leave the cafeteria and walk down to the chemistry lab. Mrs. Bolton said I could go there any time I wanted to. This seems like a good time.

I open the door and walk inside. It's empty, as always. Mrs. Bolton is probably in the teacher's lounge eating lunch. I set my stuff down and sit at an empty chemistry table.

I don't want to do any experiments. I'm not in the mood. I decide to study. Suddenly, I hear,

"I thought I'd find you in here. "

I look up and see an unfamiliar student. He's dressed in a tan collared shirt with a green blue tie topped with a gray sweater. He has a blue bookbag slung over his shoulder. He smiles at me. I ask,

"Do I know you? "

He chuckles and says, "No, not really. I transferred here. I have trouble with chemistry and Mrs. Bolton said you would be a great tutor. You're Michael Jackson right? "

I nod and smile. I say, "Yes. And she was right. I can help you with Chemistry. "

He nods and says, "The bell is about to ring, so, can we study at my place? "

I nod and say, "Sure. Sounds great. "

He pulls a small notepad out of his pocket and writes his address down. He tears it off and walks over to me.

When he puts it in my hand, he holds onto my hand gently. He winks at me and says,

"Can't wait. "

My eyes widen. He walks towards the door, stops, turns around and says,

"My name is Shaun by the way. Shaun Adams. "

He smiles and leaves the classroom. What the hell. Well that was unexpected. Just as he said, the bell rings.

End of School Day

Stephen showed up on time for class. It made my heart flutter. I decided not to tell him about Shaun because there's nothing to tell. I would never cheat on Stephen. Wait...would it even be cheating? Are we a couple?

I don't even know. I get my stuff out of my locker and close it. I start walking down the hall.

"Hey! Michael, wait up. "

I stop and turn around. It's Shaun. He smiles and says,

"I was thinking, since you're going to tutor me, that I could give you a ride to my house. "

I smile and say, "Thanks, but I have to meet someone first. "

He nods and says, "Alright. I'll see you there then. "

I nod. We walk out of the building. He heads for his car. I scan the parking lot for Stephen and find him next to his motorcycle flirting with some girls. He could at least tell them he isn't interested.

Stephen looks at me, giving me a 'sorry about this' face. I clench my jaw. I look over at Shaun and yell,

"Wait! "

I hurry over to him and say, "I guess he left. Is the offer still open? "

Shaun smiles and says, "It definitely is. "

He opens the door for me. I blush and say, "Thank you. "

He smirks and nods. I get in. He closes the door and goes over on his side. I look out the windshield and see Stephen staring at me. He looks hurt, but angry.

I look down at my books. Shaun gets in and says,

"You can sit those in the backseat of you'd like. "

I smile politely and say, "Thanks. "

As I go to put them in the back, Shaun says, "Let me. "

He reaches for the books in my lap, touching my legs intentionally as he picks them up. A unwanted tingle happens down there. I quickly grab one book and say, "I'll hold on to this one. "

I put the book back in my lap to cover up. This is embarrassing. Shaun laughs and says,

"Excited about tutoring, huh? "

I blush and keep my eyes down. Shaun laughs again and starts up his rather expensive car. I just noticed how expensive this car looks.
