How to Fall in Love in Three Easy Steps

Chapter 15

For the rest of the day, the thought that Jack could be kicked out at any second haunted his mind. He obviously hadn't understood the consequences of his actions when he was doing them, for the whole world was blocked out at that time. It was now tiring for Jack to go back to the boring humdrum of school life, considering he had done whatever he had wanted to for a while. There had been days when he was forced back into class, only to pass out on his desk.

Needless to say, most teachers absolutely despised him.

Jack trudged back to his room, tired of class and of all of St. Francis's students. Many of the kids were obnoxious, talking way too loudly before class started and shouting across the hall for each other. In fact, Jack often daydreamed about escaping them all and staying in his room all day, Alex right by his side.

Just as Alex crossed his mind, Jack felt hand on his shoulder along with a voice that said, "Where do you think you're going?"

Jack smiled, knowing Alex was right behind him, feeling his hand push Jack forward a little, urging him towards Jack's dorm. The two continued down the hall together, finally stopping in front of Darryl, who was leaving the dorm.

"Hey, man, I'll be back in a couple hours. See you then," he stated as he jogged in the direction of the common room.

"I guess we're alone," Alex whispered as his hand found Jack's.

They had barely closed the door when Jack found himself pushed up against it, Alex's hands on either side of him. Alex wasn't quite tall enough to kiss Jack, so he pushed himself up on his toes, letting Jack lean over and connect their mouths. Jack felt Alex's hands snake around his waist as Jack rested his hands on Alex's chest. The two made their way on to Jack's bed, which hadn't been made that morning, the blankets tossed around carelessly, gathered near the headboard. Creaks squeaked as the conjoined weight flopped down onto the bed. It was obvious that the mattress was being strained, the fabric sagging down, not supportive enough for the two teenagers.

Gently, Jack rocked his hips against Alex, earning a low groan. Considering what had happened between them, this was a huge risk, knowing that Alex had been unable to kiss Jack not long ago. Fortunately, both of them enjoyed it, knowing that they were both horny teenage boys. Their lips were practically glued together, their hands shoved up each other's shirts. Intimacy may come with a price, but damn, did it feel good.

They could've gone on for the rest of the day, if it wasn't for the twist of the door knob and the hand that pushed the door open. Alex practically leapt off of Jack, fixing his shirt and hair in mere seconds, and plopping down on the floor. It was almost impeccable, like he had practiced it over and over, learning how to make it look like he hadn't just been making out with someone. Jack pulled his shirt down and mussed up his hair, trying to make seen like Alex hadn't run his fingers through and tangled them in there. It almost looked like they had been talking, other than the fact that they both glanced at each other with lust-filled stares.

Darryl trotted back in, grabbing a book, waving at Jack, and then running back out. Both breathed a sigh of relief as the door shut once again.

"That was close," Jack groaned.

"Yeah," Alex added.

He got up off the floor, and climbed back on the bed, right on top of Jack.

"I wish we didn't have to hide," Alex murmured.

"Well, are you ready to tell people? Because I'm not."

"You have a point, I guess. It's just not fair that straight couples are accepted and gay couples aren't as accepted in this society."
