What Is Love?

Wesleigh

The pic above is Wesleigh!!!!!
••••••••••••••••••••
After surviving another full day and surprisingly no detentions, me and Nick jog down the hallway -our messenger bag style book bags hitting the side of our thighs- towards Cooper's locker at the other end of the hallway. She sees us coming and slams her locker closed and smiles. "You guys ready?" She asks. I reply "Yes! What's his name?" Cooper replied slowly "his name is Wesleigh." I raise my eyebrows. Nick asks "Wesleigh...Country name, where is he from?" Cooper shrugs as we walk out of the large double doors. The school itself is Dark and Gothic church looking like a Gothic age large church or small castle. Cooper spots a figure leaning against a tree near the road. He was easy to spot since all the people around him are wearing their black uniforms and he wears normal clothes. As we approach he tears his eyes away from the Gothic looking school and looks at us. His eyes narrow a little and the space between his eyebrows crease. Cooper comes over to his tree and hugs him "Hi Wes! This is my two best friends Nate Taylor and Nick Sinclair, and of course Blair but she couldn't come." We shake his hand. It is tan and calloused from what seems like actual farm work. He nods and replies "Nice to meet y'all." I glance at Nick when he speaks. He suppresses an amused smile but glances down at me. Wesleigh has a deep voice and a thick country accent, I find that funny, there are not many country people around here. Cooper glares at me and Nick. She asks "Uh one question...who is going to drive? I know Wes has his permit, we all do but..." I speak up and role my eyes a bit "You know I have my license right Coop? I can drive legally but not after the stupid curfew." Cooper slaps her hand to her forehead "Oh Psh I knew that." We all laugh, even Wes seems to relax. As we all pile into my black car-Nick in the front beside me and Cooper and Wes in the back- I ask "You guys ready?" Cooper and Nick nod and Wes asks "Uh Nate, you know the speed limits?" I smile at him through the rear view mirror and say "There is no real speed limit, basically as fast as you can get through Brooklyn traffic." Wes stared at me like I had just said I was an insane alien or something. "What? I never said I was a good driver." I say as if it were obvious. Nick and Cooper smiled at me but Wes looked worried.
Surprisingly we get there alive and still in one piece! We go inside and I head straight for the kitchen. Wes raises his eyebrows when he sees me just walk in without asking. Cooper catches it, smiles and says "Nate an I have been friends long enough, he knows every inch of my house and I know every inch of his...Speaking of which, Nate where is my glasses case and contact cases?" Without looking up I reply "In your bathroom, on the vanity table, beside the face cleanser stuff." She grins and skips over to me, kissing me on the cheek, then runs into her bathroom. Nick and Wes look at me, their faces a look of amazement, shock, and confusion. I glance up at them. "What?" Wes hardens his glare "Y'all don't find it a little weird that you come over here so much and I have never been over here at all and I am her boyfriend?" I raise my eyebrows and smirk at his inferred accusation. "I think your jealous." I say daring him to reply. Wes's face turns red and in anger and his glare turns cold. "Back off, she's mine!" I laugh and glance at Nick who laughs along with me. Wes looks at us in confusion "What is so funny?" I smirk at him again and reply "Are you really that dense?I don't like girls." Wes blinks and replies "So y'all are best friends with a girl but u don't like them?" I chuckle and say "I don't date girls, she's all yours." His face reddens and he looks down at his shoes. "Oh." I nod and say "Eh, don't worry about it, Nick is gay also, we are used to it by now, though I am more obvious than Nick." I glance at him but look away quickly when I realise he is looking at me. Wes nods and says "Lets pretend that didn't happen m'k." I laugh and nod. "Ok no more crazy accusations until you really get to know us, well at least me." Nick nods and says more to Wes than me "He's full of surprises." I smile and he winks at me. Cooper comes back into the kitchen with her glasses on. She looks at all of us and asks "What do you guys want to do?" Wes shrugs and so does Nick. I make eye contact with Cooper and she understands. She suggests "What about a movie or tv?" I smile a little at her, we have been friends so long we can make eye contact an she knows what I want and can read me easily. Wes puts his arm around her and says "Sure." We go into the living room and realise there are barely enough seats for all of us to sit. Wes and Cooper snuggle up on the couch and Nick and I sit in the -ironically called- love seat. We pick out a movie but eventually just turn the sound down and talk. "So Wes where are you from?" Nick asks. He says "Oklahoma, are you all originally from Brooklyn?" I say "I moved from Manhattan a long while ago like before preschool." Cooper says "I am the only one who had been here since i was born." Nick says "I am originally from up North in Maine. But I moved here earlier this year." Wes nods and asks "Why is y'all's school so creepy and dark looking? I have been freaked out by it since we first passed it." I laugh with Cooper and Nick. "It is Brooklyn Academy you apply in seventh grade and go there until twelfth. Nick was a nerd at his old school so he got to come this year, aka freshman year. Somehow I applied and made it. I guess they just needed a gay population getting started." I shrug and Nick rolls his eyes playfully. Cooper smiles and replies "And you getting into the school still amazes us everyday. Wes you are looking at the Queen if Detentions himself!" I mock bow and laugh along with the others and even Wes laughs. "The Academy itself isn't really that bad, it is actually kind of fun, if the teachers like you, which for Nate isn't usually the case." I roll my eyes again a say "I don't know why the teachers love me soooooo much. Especially Mrs.Galloway! I am her favorite." We all laugh except for Wes who looks really confused. Cooper elaborates "Mrs. Galloway Hates Nate's guts." He asks "Why?" Nick answers "Oh he has only gotten 95% of his detention slips from her and yelled at her a few times." I smile and say "Psh yah yelled we will go with that!" Cooper giggled "He screamed at her one time and argues and acts like a bad a**." I point at Cooper "I had a really good reason for laying my head down and she questioned it even though the answers were posted All over the school at the time." All of our smile fade at the memory of Blaine Lee. "Yah lets not talk about this yet." I breathe. Cooper nods. I look at my phone and realise what time it is. "Oh hey Coop, it is almost eleven, not the time you want to be walking around, I should head home, do you want me to take Wes home, I have to drop Nick off?" Cooper glances at the window and shakes her head, "Nah I will get my parents to take him home and what about curfew?" I shrug "I don't care about curfew, I am not going to get stopped." She considers this and nods, she gets up and so does Wes. I give her a hug and so does Nick and I shake Wes's hand. As I pull her into a hug she whispers in my ear "Come on Nate you know you are happy around Nick, make some type of gesture tonight, don't keep stringing him along." I nod and grab my leather jacket from the coat hanger near the door. "Bye Coop!" I say.
