Quietly Queer

Chapter 4

~Shawn's POV~

I heard the door open. I thought I locked it! I turned my head and looked through the clear, plastic shower curtain. There was Jacob, standing at the sink brushing his teeth. I quickly turned around and cover my area blushing.

"Jacob... get out!" I whined. The words just slipped out. I heard a devilish chuckle. He was laughing?

"Calm down kid, I'm not gay and I'm not looking."

I turned the shower off and reached one hand out of the curtain for a towel. I felt the towel lunge at me. He threw it at me! I quickly wrapped it around my waist.

"You might want to hurry up, lectures will be starting soon."

I nodded and quickly walked out of the bathroom. I grabbed my underwear and put them on as quickly as possible. I put jeans on, then a shirt and walked back to the bathroom. BAM I had hit this large flesh-like thing before I could even enter. I looked up and soon realized, I had my face on Jacob's chest and he wasn't wearing a shirt. Oh god, why does the universe hate me..?

I tried to speak but all that came out was "I-we-so-you-..."

He moved me out of the way, but not like his friends did. His muscular arm moved me away so carefully. Like he thought his arm had spikes attached to it. I quickly walked in and brushed my teeth. I walked out, grabbed my bag and didn't even think. Where is my first lecture?

"J-Jacob.. I don't know where my first lecture is. Can you walk me to it?"

I sounded like a helpless puppy without it's mother. He nodded while he put a shirt on and swung his bag over his shoulder. I grabbed my bag and pulled it over my shoulder and waited. He grabbed his keys and I caught myself staring again. We walked out and I kept my head down. I suddenly felt this pressure on my shoulder. I looked up to see that we were approaching the lecture room and he had his hand on my shoulder. He patted it and pulled his hand away.

"Good luck kid." I nodded and walked in. I saw the two boys from yesterday, and the only empty seat was in front of them. I groaned and sat down taking notes. I felt a swift kick to the back of my chair.

"Look Charlie, it's the kid from yesterday."

The boys laughed throwing out insults and kicking my chair. I continued to take notes trying to ignore them. I couldn't get Jacob off my mind for some reason. So it was easy to ignore the boys.

"Such a baby running out like that. He'll never survive here." Charlie scoffed.
