Bullied By Scott Hoying

Chapter 9

The only thing I liked about Friday is that we started at 10.00.

Last night I was so tired, I set my alarm for 6.00am like every other day, and I couldn't go back to sleep.

I had too much on my mind. My parents were coming home tomorrow afternoon, I didn't' even know where they were. One of their stupid business trips, probably.

And Scott, oh Scott.

I was so confused about all of the emotions coursing through me. I felt strangely drawn to Scott... But at the same time, I hated him. Hated him for treating me like that for such a long time. Hated him for filling my life with misery and making me hate myself.

But he was so... Beautiful.... So sweet, and... He cried over me and I think I love him! I am in love with Scott Hoying! And I hated myself for it.

"Mitch! Earth to Mitch! You there?" Kirstie said, giggling slightly at her choice of words.

I shook my head frustratedly, wishing I could get all of the thoughts out of my head.

Kirstie leant over and gave me a bone crushing hug, nuzzling her head into my neck.

"Hey, Mitchie, talk to me! What's wrong?" She asked, her voice growing more and more worried with every word she spoke.

I shook my head,
"I'll tell you this afternoon."
She nodded, though I knew she wanted to know immediately.

School went on as usual, we had a pop quiz and Kirstie and I both got As.

At lunch, I was staring at Scott the whole time, and I actually noticed that he kept steeling glances at me, I wonder if he does that all the time...

I kept getting distracted by Scott and I forgot to make notes in class. I was so glad when school was finally over.

Kirstie and I were walking to my house after the school ended.

With Kirstie still worried about me, and me silently praying that Scott or Avi wouldn't see us and beat us up, we were both silent. And not the comfortable kind either.

It wasn't a very long walk to my house, but it felt like forever.

After a while, Kirstie decided to break the silence.

"This is ridiculous, I mean look at us! We're both huge chatterboxes! shouldn't we be talking each others ears off?"

Kirstie asked, her voice sounding frustrated but still kind, then she continued,
"Look, Mitch, I know something's wrong, but why can't you just tell me now? Or, if you don't want to, we could talk about something else to take your mind off it, but this is just stupid."

I nodded briefly and looked around to make sure no one was listening.

"Kirstie, what I'm about to tell you cannot get out. You can't tell another soul, understand?" 
I said, seriously.

She nodded, eyes growing wider.

I looked around one last time before leaning in and saying "I think I'm in love with Scott, and I hate myself for it."

There was no explaining the look on Kirstie's face. She even stopped walking, just staring at me while her eyes bulged out of their sockets.

"Scott Hoying?" She finally said, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yes,"  I nodded once, not daring to make eye contact.

Kirstie started walking again, shaking her head while she processed what I just said.

"I thought you liked girls?"
She said, her voice fading back to it's original soft tone. "

"I thought so too."
I said blankly, still not making eye contact.

"Oh, would you look at me you big doofus?!"
She suddenly cried out, I couldn't take it anymore, and I cracked up laughing.

"It's not funny!"
She said, though her eyes were sparkling and the smile was growing on her face as she spoke.

"I'm gay, Kirstie, I'm gay."

"Well I know that! And I can understand that, but what I don't understand is why you would be in love with someone who has made your life miserable for so long."

She said. I nodded, I completely understood her, because I didn't understand either.

"There's just something about him, his muscles, and he gets really good grades you know, the way he walks, the way he talks, the way he looks at me and oh, his voice! His voice is the most beautiful thing I think I've ever heard."

Kirstie did a playful pout, "What about my voice?"
She said, faking being offended.

I rolled my eyes at her and pushed her shoulder slightly.

"You know what I mean Kirst, your voice is beautiful too."

She smiled her beautiful bright smile and pointed to my house, "better not walk past it" she mumbled and directed me from behind into my driveway.

Once we had settled in and Kirstie had put her overnight bags in my bedroom, we sat down on the couch and I started looking through movie options on my laptop.

"What do you want to watch?"

I asked Kirstie, offhandedly.

"Ohhhhh let's watch the Lady And The Tramp! I love that movie!"

I shrugged, "Okay."

It started playing on my computer and I plugged it into the TV.

We curled up together and became entranced by the movie, forgetting about everything else.

Here's another surprise for my lovelies! Love you guys!
