Fools Game: Love (BoyxBoy)

Fools Game: Love (BoyxBoy) Chapter 18

The big game was coming up and I was surprised Gary, Coby and Sean hadn’t fallen out yet – though they kept taunting one another and as each day passed it got worse.

I hadn’t been back to my room in a week and stayed with Gary for the most part since I didn’t want to be anywhere near Seth… I didn’t want to deal with him, though he’d tried to talk to me a couple of times and each time either Gary, Coby or Sean had seen him off.

However, I felt guilty for not letting him talk to me but could you blame me?

I’d heard enough of excuses. I’d had enough of being told this and that and later finding out the whole reason we broke up was my fault – and I had a feeling, that Seth would tell me the exact same thing.

So, I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to be told I was worthless, pathetic and unattractive. I’d had my fill so why waste my time listening to him?

After all he is a player...

Besides, I was meant to be leaving for England in a couple of days and I needed to be ready for that. Unfortunately though, it was on the same day as the ‘Big Game’ and though I wanted to ask Gary to come with me, I just couldn’t. It wouldn’t be fair on him – This game was everything he’d been working up to. It was important to him and it was going to get him a career in the thing he loved most – American football.

“You know… American football is seriously a sissy version off rugby, I mean, come on – you guys wear ‘padding’~” I drawled, twirling the plastic spoon in my black coffee aimlessly – I don’t even know why I agreed to let Gary order it for me… or why I picked up a spoon…

I’d gone back to no eating and very little sleep – it was my way of coping, the hunger pains never got to me anyway and I had my medication… right?

Gary thought otherwise and had also brought me a cookie which Sean and Coby had tried to steal on more then one occasion (which quickly resulted to a cookie crumbs on a plate) only to get scolded by Gary. Darn he really was like a farther figure sometimes… or an older brother. Maybe even a ring leader too these two clowns~~

I smirked, at my own thoughts, lifting the scolding liquid to my lips and blowing on it before taking a sip and shivering as it scolded my tongue and throat in an almost pleasant way~

“Pft – At least we still have our good looks, unlike you’re rugby dudes who don’t even have their own noses anymore~” Gary shot back, leaning his elbow onto the table we were sitting at (his head in his palm) and looking at me meaningfully.

“Oh shut up you big girl” I huffed, turning away from him and looking about the coffee café we were in, I felt irritated today… don’t ask me why – Maybe this was just the after depression bit of finding out your boyfriend cheated on you.

“Jezzz Skittles, you sure are feisty today~” Sean grinned, nudging my shoulder with his since he was sitting beside me, (Gary and Coby opposite us).

“I blame it on my ex’s….” I grumbled, sticking my nose into my cup and breathing in the caffeine goodness of my coffee… darn I love this stuff – It woke me up and kept me going… If only it could take away all my problems too.

“There’s more then one?” Sean asked curiously to which I nodded with a sigh, putting down my coffee as I began to explain.

“Sure I do… Ex- boyfriends… ex-friends…. Ex-loving parents… ex good life…” I grumbled, mimicking Gary’s actions and leaning my cheek into my hand.

“Oh God, his sob story is breaking my spirit – Quickly Sean, douse him in holy water before the devil drags him further down!!” Coby exclaimed, getting up only to have Gary grab his shirt and yank him back down.
