Grading Love (BoyxBoy)

10: Unwanted Attention, And Absolutely No Fractions

*During Class*

~*John POV*~

I could feel someone's eyes on me ever since the start of class. It isn't Harvey, I'm sure of that since I've been staring at him while listening to the teacher. It isn't Megan, she's listening intently...

Sitting behind Harvey is so fun, I could stare at him all day.

After a while, I finally saw the culprit: a tall guy named Mark Gumbo, my classmate ever since preschool, but we rarely talk now. He's staring at me like as if I'm some tasty treat, which he never did before. Flattering, but not that pleasing. I tried to focus on class (and stare at Harvey) but I could actually feel Mark's eyes on me. Creepy.

After class, I decided to go to Mark and talk to him.

"Hey Mark!"

"Hi John" he said in his oddly deep nasal voice.

Awkward.

"So... Nice lessons today, huh?"

"Yeah, fractions and stuff." He said hesitatingly.

"You ok Mark? We had no fractions today. Were you distracted or something?"

"What? No! Iwasntstaringatyouoranything"

This dude ok?

 

"Huh? You were... staring at me?"

Mark started fidgeting and looking around, avoiding my accusing gaze.

"...I wasn't."

Lies. Lol.

"Oh really? How come I caught you staring at m-"

Mark suddenly pushed me to the wall, leaning on me.

"Maybe I WAS staring at you. Watcha gonna do about it? Ask Harvey to save you?"

"Why Harvey, when anyone would help me woop your butt?"

"Because you and Harvey are a couple. Nyehehe." Ugh, his laugh is so creepy.

But oh no. Oh no. How does Mark know..?

"Huh? What do you mean?" I tried to talk my way out of this, but Mark looks otherwise.

"Don't deny it John, I saw you two kissing behind school yesterday. I even took pictures."

"Oh that? That's nothing... Hahaha. We were eating pocky, and decided to share the last one. Hahaha." I feel so tense now.

Mark held on to my cheeks and brought his mouth dangerously close to mine. 

"Don't. Lie. John. I could see the looks you give each other."

"...Staring contests?"

"Stop it John! Don't hide the truth? Ashamed, are you?"

"Well Fine! Harvey IS my boyfriend and him only! You can't break my loyalty!"

"We'll see about that John... Nyehehe."

And with that, he gripped me tighter and put his head very close to mine, our faces mere inches away from each other.

~*Harvey POV*~

Lalala, carrying a chocolate coated carrot for John.

 

Oh, is that him? with Mark?

Its too far to tell, but Mark looks like he's whispering something to John.

Better check this out ASAP.

~*John POV*~

Oh no, he's planning to... to... kiss me D:

Oh noes, Harvey is coming this way holding a... chocolate covered carrot? I can't let him see me like this!

Mark's gripping on to me too tight, I can't squirm away... Nghh!

Suddenly I felt his arms envelop me instead.

Oh? He just hugged me, better than kissing me, I guess.

As Mark lets go, I run towards Harvey, but he's no longer there, the only sign of him being there was the chocolate coated carrot fallen to the floor.

No... Harvey...

~*Harvey POV*~

No. I can't believe it. I thought John loved me!

If our relationship was real, then he should be loyal to me, right? I mean, we had a commitment! Why...

My chest is starting to hurt. It feels cold and empty.

I just dropped my homemade chocolate covered carrots in front of the scene Mark and John just made and ran off.

Resting in the hallway, I clutch my chest. It hurts so so so much.

Is this how a heartbreak feels like?

What a sad and agonizing feeling. I don't think I can see John during class for now. I'll just rest here... in the library.

The cool air from the library welcomed me and my ever colder heart.

I don't even care if someone caught me. I just want to get away from this despair.

I began to search for random books that could take John off my mind.

I grabbed one with a colorful cover. The title read: "Homosexuality" 

The library has a book??!?! I immediately shoved the book back into the shelf.

Hm... some other bookshelf. How about those National Geographic books?

Getting a random one, the title being: "Loving your Pet Hamster"

Nope. Not reading that.

I walked away, and went towards the Kiddy section. (No idea why they have these in a high school)

There's a row filled with a book series called: "John the Hamster says I love you"

Good Lord! Just a simple book!

I practically jogged my way to the fiction novels, and the first one I saw was entitled "I Saw My Beloved with Another Man"

Damn it! damn it all!

"GOSH DARN IT!"

 Oh, whoops, I'll be dead if I was caught here.

I quickly (and quietly this time) sat on a chair and settled down.

"What's a first year doing here?" Said a cold, creepy voice. A cold creepy voice behind me.

I turned around, and saw an intimidating third year student.
