Graduation

Part Two: The Dance

Richie leaned back against his chair as he nervously looked around the classroom. Everyone was a bit dressed up today, for their final dance before high school. It would be exciting, but scary at the same time. Richie would be going to a different school as Avina, and he really wanted her to notice him one last time. "Richie you want some gum?" Asked Sulaiman. "Yeah, sure thanks." "I mean, you'll need it if you want to make a good impression on Avina. Everyone here knows that you like her." Said Sulaiman. "That's not use if she doesn't like me back." Replied Richie. With that, Sulaiman looked away and shut his mouth. If Richie was going to be such a loser, he couldn't do anything about it.
Matthew looked at the clock. 15 minutes until the bell would ring and signal recess. The time where he could ball up and stay tru. All while being homosexual with Nitpreet, but making sure to say 'No homo'. As Matthew was distracted in his day dreaming, Avina was thinking about Richie.
This was the first time Avina had thought about Richie in a way that was more than just friends. However, she was already dating Aleks and she had to stick to her principles. Quickly, she shook those thoughts away and filled them with images of Aleks pole dancing for her. Not that great of a thought either.
Mark looked at Ms Bilecki, making sure she wasn't watching and then took Sulaiman's face and kissed him on the lips. They both had a really great time at Square One yesterday, especially after going back to Sulaiman's house to "study". Sulaiman's gum accidentally ended up in Mark's mouth, so they kissed again and transferred the gum back. Richie stared at them dumbfounded of how gay and how chill they were with each other at the same time. All that practicing he had done on his pillow and his mirror didn't look like what they had just done. He felt terrified of what was to come after lunch.
The bell rung, and without a hitch, everyone rushed out of the classroom; hoping they wouldn't be the last one there, having to turn off all the computers for Ms Bilecki. This time, it was Sulaiman. He was a bit slow, and as everyone else left the class, you could hear Sulaiman's awkward beast laugh as he shut down all the computers.
As the bell rung again and signalled everyone to go inside for the eating portion of lunch, Richie found himself wedged between multiple people. To his immediate left, was Janet and right in front of him was Avina. People behind him pushed, and he was pushed into both at the same time. He felt as if he was going to fall and grabbed onto the nearest thing. This turned out to be the bum of someone. He didn't know who, so he quickly let go, making sure he would not be suspected. As Richie walked to his seat, he quickly sat down, not wanting to expose the evident bump that was rising in his crotch.
After lunch, everyone filed into their own classroom empty handed, excited for the graduation dance. Those that forgot to buy tickets went home, typically the losers of the grade. This meant the people like , Muhammad or Nitpreet; losers of the school, went home where they then nut on themselves. The teachers were calling each students name out loud, handing out each persons ticket. "Richie." "Avina." Richie had always liked Avina being right after him in the attendance. He even thought about how perfect their surnames were. If he were ever to marry her, all she would have to do is change one letter!
Finally, everyone got their tickets and were settled down in their seats. Over the announcements, classes were called down in pairs. The students of 8-6 waited in anticipation to be called down. "8-6 and 8-5, please go to the gymnasium with your dance ticket and enter through the front." Richie's heart started beating quickly as he tucked in his chair. His hands were cold, and he pushed his hair back, looking for something to do. "Whats up Richie? You look kind of nervous." Said Avina. "Oh, it's nothing..just excited for the dance." Replied Richie. "Ya, me too. I'm gonna go." Avina said awkwardly. As she left, Richie clenched his jaw, thinking about how awkward the conversation was. When he entered the gym, he looked around and saw Janet. She looked stunning in her blue dress. "Hi Janet." "Hiiiii Richieeeeeeeeeee." Replied Janet. Richie cringed. This was the reason why he had broken up with her. He swore her voice was so shrill it could overmatch that of an airplane. "Would you like to dance?" "Yessssssssss oh my god Richieee let's danceeee!"
Richie put his hands on her waist, as she put her hands on his shoulders. They swayed like that for a good couple of minutes. A crowd around them was now gathering, as that would happen for any immature audience. Before breaking off, Richie made sure to embrace Janet really tightly and gave her a kiss on the cheek. As he was doing so, Janet accidentally turned to face Richie which meant he kissed her right on the lips. They were both stunned, and before Janet could do anything, Richie leaned back in and kissed Janet on the lips, passionately; remembering the way he saw Mark and Sulaiman kiss earlier that day. Avina watched intently as all of this went down.
After that, they finally broke apart and went on their separate ways. Richie rejoined Matthew as they watched Sulaiman and Mark half dancing and half sexing in the corner. "Yo, I swear this is like soft core porn." Said Matthew. Richie was too dazed to reply. He just stared at them. Meanwhile, Avina was now hyperventilating in the girls washroom. She thought she had loved Aleks, but after what seemed like an eternity, she finally realized that she had always had feelings for Richie. Her Richie. Aleks was standing on the dance floor, waiting for Avina. She was nowhere to be seen. He tried calling her multiple times, to no answer. He frantically texted her. His final text read "Avina. Fuck you. You stand me up like this and for what? I thought we were dating. This is over. Go fuck your little viet dog eating boyfriend, Richie." With that, Aleks angrily packed up his stuff and left the school to go home.
Avina now entered the gymnasium again. Hoping to avoid Aleks and find Richie. She would have to tell him something. At this point, Sulaiman had had to leave, his mom picking him up at the end of period 4. Matthew was busy jamming out by himself, thinking about Claire and what could have been in grade 7. Mark led Richie to the back of the stage, hidden from everyone. "Richie, I've noticed you eying me a lot these past couple of days." "Yeah I just -" Mark put his finger over Richie's lips before he could finish. "Richie. You and I both know we want this to happen." Mark then kissed Richie on the lips. Richie was stunned, but started to kiss back. They were slobbering all over each other and Richie was sure he had grown a whole new bone in his pants. Richie stood up and unbuckled his pants, and took if his underwear. He pushed Mark downwards. He never knew his first blow job would be from a guy. Mark started sucking and then..."What the FUCK." Exclaimed Avina. She looked at the scene before her and then almost vomited a bit in her mouth. "Mark, you're a cheating little bitch and Richie. You're a dick and you're gay?" "Uhhhhhh..." Richie quickly buckled up his pants and Mark wiped his mouth. "Please don't tell Sulaiman about this." "Shut up, Mark. Just leave, please." Said Avina. "You don't gotta ask twice." Said Mark, stumbling along, and leaving the area. Seeing that Mark was gone, Avina looked at Richie right in his eyes, seductively. She crawled on all fours to his crotch and pulled his pants down. Richie was now dumbfounded and clearly excited, his little guy building back. Avina looked at him and said,
"Let me finish that job for you."
