The Alpha (BoyxBoy) (Book Two)

Part 31

Coach Jones stared at the both of us with wide eyes as if he couldn't understand the words that had just left Jinx's mouth. I almost couldn't, he had been so crude, and I mean it made me wanna laugh, just because he didn't realize he was saying this to someone who was as homophobic as Jones.

"Are you serious?" Jones asked looking towards me in disbelief.

"Dead serious." I told him.

His eyes shifted between the two of us as he shook his head. "You're fucking with me. There's no way that you could-"

"Coach," I interjected. "We're gay, I don't know how to make that more clear without shoving my tongue down his throat."

"Okay," Jones started taking a step back. "Okay, okay, I can handle this. I don't care, you two are to great to not have on my team."

I rolled my eyes at the sound of his offer. "Look man, everyone on the track team is just as homophobic as you are, they're not gonna share that thought, and I'm not about to endure that sort of harassment and I'll be damned if I let Jinx go through that. They're assholes."

"I'll tell you what," he tried, "you don't have to come to practices, just who up for matches and run like you did today. Just promise me you'll think about it, and in exchange you won't have to come to class anymore. You guys have lunch before this, we're an open campus, your lunch time and my time you'll have enough time to actually leave the school and find a decent place to eat, or just do whatever you want."

Jinx and I exchanged looks and it seemed like we mentally came to an agreement. "And you're not gonna fail us?" I asked and he nodded. "We'll do it."

Coach's face lit up as he started thanking us, and leave it to Jinx to throw out, "We're not doing it for you, it'd just be nice to get an hour and a half for a mid day quickie after we eat."

Jones looked disgusted for a second but quickly shook it off. "I don't care why you're doing it kid, I'm just glad you're doing it." With that he turned back toward the class. "You've got 20 minutes till you go change, do what you want." before walking away.

Jinx looked over to me with a grin. "Now we'll have all day to make stupid blow job bets and we'll have time to make good on them before we even go home."

With that we both started laugh and I reached out to pull him closer but as soon as I did I regretted it. He winced as his weight shifted wrong and I flinched inwardly at the pain for him. "Sit down and let me look at it."

He gave me a look as if asking if I was serious but I just glared back at him until he sat down and and slipped his sock off. The ankle was a little swollen and I wanted to punch him. "Why the fuck didn't you just stop and tie the shit?"

He chuckled. "You know damn well why."

I was gonna lecture him about stupid choices when Jake came up with Jinx's shoes. "That looks bad man." He stated and I just nodded while Jinx shrugged and just smirked. "What were you thinking? I know you noticed it, you were tripping all over the place and trying to avoid it."

"I was thinking I'd be fine, and I'd win thus winning the best award in the history of ever." Jinx said looking towards me. "Seeing as outside circumstances weighed in we should settle on a tie cause I could have kept going." I rose an eyebrow. "We both win, we both lose. I purpose 69."

I rolled my eyes. "I won Jinx." I stated. He looked like he wanted to argue about it though but I just shook my head. "Nah, I won."

He frowned before sighing softly. "Fine, but will you help me get back to the locker room, and our next class? I went to war, and my ankle paid the price, and now it feels like I need to cut it off."

I chuckled softly and nodded. "You don't even have to ask." He smiled as he slid his one show back on before slipping his other sock on his wounded foot and sliding his other shoe on. I stood up before reaching down to pull him up.

He gasped a little in pain before clinging to me trying to get as much weight as possible off his one foot. The trip to the locker-room seemed to be painfully slow for me, and I couldn't even imagine how it felt for him seeing as he was actually in pain. When we finally reached our destination though he sat down on the bench while I quickly changed. When I turned back he had his shirt off and was working on his pants but trying not to stand up.

I stepped closer to him and began helping. He seemed like he wanted to complain but he held his tongue the entire time. And that's how the rest of the day went, him trying to do shit by himself only to have me step in and him wanting to throw a fit but holding back.

When the school day ended Austin had come to pick us up, and I was just glad I didn't have to ask to drive. He slid into the backseat after offering Jinx help getting into the truck, and for a second I thought Jinx was gonna snap at him, but he didn't. Instead he just took a few breaths before asking about Jamie.

"He's doing alright, after he calmed down he went over to Corey's and I haven't really talked to him much since. I took a nap. Hey did you guys know Corey's talking about switching to homeschooling too? I guess the whole emotional weight of being a third doesn't mix well with the heat, along with regular school stress."

We both nodded understanding where he was coming from. Each situation in itself could be a lot to handle, and throwing all of them on one plate, it must be pretty intense. I wouldn't wanna wake up and leave to go to school either. It was just a little strange that he was opting to stay home without having his mate with him, but I guess it was his choice.

"Trevor told me before that he wasn't accepting visitors." I voiced.

Austin confirmed this. "He said I couldn't even stay long. Jamie's just allowed to because the whole imprinting thing I guess. Which is kind of funny because being around Jamie used to send his head through the roof."

That had me cracking up, it was true. I wonder how that felt to go from loving someone but never wanting to be around them because it makes your head hurt, to being in heat and only letting that person around because it helps cool you off. I was so caught up in thinking about how funny it was that I didn't even think to hold back the snort that crept up.

"God," Jinx started looking over at me. "I love that sound." I wanted to groan, "It's so adorable, and I just want to record it and play it on repeat for the rest of my life. Just the way your laugh itself sounds, and then that hits, and just, babe. You don't even know what you do to me."

"Shut up." I ordered trying to focus on the road.

He chuckled softly. "But it's true River, like damn, I can't wait to get you home and make you carry me up the stairs so I can get those pants off you."

"Guys!" Austin groaned out. "I'm still here, I exist."

That had me snorting again. "Coming from the guy who announced this morning, and I quote, ' as soon as we're through the door I'm gonna have his pants off and his cock is gonna be tickling my esophagus' it's kind of funny hearing you complain."

"I was trying to piss someone off not turn someone on." He argued.

"Oh please!" Jinx argued back. "You can't tell me you didn't have that hidden motive of getting Jamie all hot and bothered, I know you well enough to know that that's always on your mind."

Austin chuckled, "Whatever man, whatever."
