No Homo

Chapter 4

John's POV

After the dismissal bell rang, I went to my locker and grabbed all of the stuff I needed to do my homework. I then walked out of the school and quickly spotted Dave in the same place I saw him yesterday.

"Hey Dave !" I greeted.

"Sup."

"Did you bring your laptop ?"

"Aw I knew there was something I forgot."

"Dave ! We need that for our project ! All of our research was on that ! How are we going to get any work done today ?"

"Chill dude, I'm just messing with you. I have it."

"Daaave. Why would you freak me out like that ? I was really worried !"

"Well, it was really funny and you really like to overreact about stuff, dude."

"Dave, that's not funny."

"It's kinda funny," he teased.

"No, it's really not !"

"You're overreacting again," he pointed out.

I groaned in annoyance. "Are we going to head to my house and work, or not ?" Dave shrugged in response.  Sure he can be kind of annoying, but I like him. Don't get any weird ideas, I meant as a friend. I headed in the direction of my house, trusting that he would follow me. He did and soon, he was walking next to me. We walked in silence until we reached the door to my house. It didn't take very long to get there because I lived fairly close to the school. I unlocked the door and let him, closing it behind him. I showed him the way to my room and he set up his computer on my desk. I pulled up another chair and sat next to him while he opened Google and the Word document we had worked on yesterday.

"Okay, where did we leave off ?" I questioned.

"Well the last thing I remember is a bunch of scientific words."

"Daave, that doesn't help !"

"Why do you drag my name out like that. Dude, there's only one 'a'."

"I know. But seriously, where did we leave off ?"

"Uhm, something about Quantum Physics..."

"Oh yeah ! Okay, let me see the computer." I reached toward the keyboard and began typing. "Okay, I found a good website." We worked for about an hour and a half, then Dave stood up and sprawled himself across my bed.

"Dave ? What are you doing ?" I was extremely confused.

"My brain is exploding, Egbert. How the fuck do you translate all of that gibberish into English ?" His words were slightly muffled by pillow he jammed his face onto.

I sighed. "Okay, okay, we can take a break. What do you want to do ?" I was actually kind of hoping we could just sit and talk. I want to get to know him better. He seems like a pretty okay person.

"I dunno. What do you have to do here?"

"Umm. We could watch a movie, play a board game, go for a walk, put a puzzle together... any of those sound fun ?"

"Hmm. Nope."

"Well, I don't know, then."

"Don't you have video games or anything ?"

"Oh ! Yeah, I have Mariokart."

"Cool." We both stood up and Dave sat down on the couch while I set up the game. After I got it set up, I sat down on the couch with him.
