The Start of Something New

Chapter 2 (Chad's POV)

I got to Troy's house to see that people were already there, dancing and drinking. I walk through the door and see Troy in the corner talking to Zeke and some of the other guys. "Hey" I say. "Chad you made it!" Zeke slurs. Its not even 8 o'clock and Zeke is already drunk. Typical. I look around for Ryan but he isn't here yet. Then I feel Troy's hand on my shoulder and he pulls me away from the group.

"Now Taylor's gone I'm going to need to set you up with some other girl." He said with a devious glint in his eye. "No" I laugh nervously "its ok. I don't need anyone else." "You sure?" He looks at me questioningly "Being the captain of the basketball team has its perks." "No, I'm fine. I kinda want to be on my own for a bit" I said with a smile. "Ok then" he turned to go back to the group "See you around"

"Kinda want to be on my own?" I turn to see Ryan behind me. "I just said that to get him off of my back" I stutter. I don't want him to think I'm unavailable. "Good" he says "Do you want a drink?". "Yeah" I say and we both start walking towards the keg. He passes me a cup full of beer and we head to an open area next to the stairs. "So, you came" I say and I mentally face palm for the second time that day. Obviously he came. Here he is. "Yeah, I came" He says. this is getting awkward but I don't know what to say. I look him up and down. He looks great tonight. "Are you checking me out?" he said with a sly smile. I look up and make eye contact with him. I don't know what to say so I just give out a small laugh. I don't want to say no because I was and I don't want to lie.

The boy standing next to me dropped his cup on the floor breaking our stare and it splashed over the back of my leg. "Are you ok?" He asked. "Yeah" I laughed then I felt his hand grab mine and he pulled me up the stairs out of the splash zone.

Once up the stairs we both burst out laughing. "Great party so far, eh?" Ryan laughed. He lent against the door way to Troy's room with his arm above his head and, god did he look sexy. I walked past him into Troy's room. "He has a basketball net above his bed?" what a nerd!" he laughed. I laughed awkwardly. "Wait, do you have a basketball net above your bed?" he laughed as I looked down and smiled. "Don't worry" he stepped closer "You're the good type of nerd"

He was so close to me now. Him looking into my eyes and I looking into his. I couldn't help it I needed to kiss him, so I did. Our lips crashed together in a wave of passion and longing. And as I kissed him a realisation came over me, he's kissing me back. I kicked the door shut with my foot without breaking contact. Then he pulled away and we both caught our breath. We looked each other in the eyes and laughed.

"Well that was"

"Something" I finished

"Defiantly something" he laughed

There was silence for a few seconds. He met my eyes again. "Do you want to do it again" he finally said. "Oh, god yes" I said as our bodies crashed together for the second time that night. Then together, still kissing, we fell onto the bed.
