Am I......?(BxB)

Chapter 1

The blare of the alarm clock jolts me awake from my peaceful sleep. With rocky, dried, tears in the corners of my eyes and a fine stream of drool down the side of my face, I climb out of bed and shut my alarm clock off. First day...first day...

After three years of high school, the fourth and final year has arrived. Senior year. I'm both looking forward to and am terribly afraid of what it's going to be like. A sudden knock comes from the other side of my door. "Josh! Are you awake?"

And there's Mom, always there to make sure I'm up and ready for school even though my clock does most of the work for her. "Yeah Mom, I'm up," I call back.

"Just making sure! Breakfast will be ready in about twenty minutes!"

"Thanks Mom."

I hear her walk away from the door and I step into my bathroom. Oh right. My name's Josh Rusden. I turned eighteen a week and a half ago and am what you'd call your stereotypical jock thanks to my three years of playing football for my high school. It's given me a body worthy of a Greek God.

I'm six foot two, one hundred-eighty pounds of nothing but muscle. Along with that is my close cut dark brown hair, cool grey eyes, not a single blemish and a five o'clock shadow that never goes away and makes me look like I'm in college. Yeah, I know. I'm freaking hot!

After a quick shower, I go back to my room to change into my clothes for the day. Nothing special, just a tight fitting t-shirt that can show off my body to the ladies, some khaki shorts, and my favorite pair of sneakers. I go back into the bathroom and finish all my other morning routine activities.

With a bit of gel in my hair to spike it up a bit in the front, I grab my bag from beside my bedroom door and head downstairs. I find Mom standing at the front of the stove holding a spatula and Dad at the kitchen table with his morning mug up coffee. "Hey guys," I say.

"Hi sweetie," says Mom.

"Hey bud," says Dad.

I walk over to both of them and give them a quick hug before taking a seat at the table across from Dad. Mom comes over with three steaming plates of bacon and eggs and hands two to me and Dad and keeping the third for herself. "Are you ready for your senor year, sweetie?" Mom asks me.

"I guess," I say with a mouthful of egg.

"It's okay to be nervous bud," says Dad.

"I know, Dad. Maybe I am a bit nervous."

"It's okay, bud. You just need to be the confident person we all know you are. Trust me. You'll do great."

Both of their faces reassure me and I smile at both of them. I finish my breakfast and take my plate to the sink and wash it out. I grab my bag from the table and give Mom and Dad another hug before I head out the door. A Southern California morning is always amazing. The sun's just starting to come up and there isn't a cloud in the sky.

I walk down the stone steps and get to my Chevy Camaro. I climb in and ignite the engine and head off to school. After a fifteen minute drive, I pull into the school parking lot and find a spot in no time. As I climb out, I'm met by a few voices calling me. "Hey Josh!"

I look back and see Mark Presley and Shawn Leif, my two long time best friends from the football team. "Hey guys!" I call back.

We welcome each other with two firm bro hugs. "How was your summer?" asks Mark.

"Not bad. I spent most of my time working at the hardware store in the town center and made some good cash."

"Enough to finally ask a girl out?" asks Shawn.
