Hate To Love Him [] ON HOLD []

Chapter 3: How It Begins

Briiiiiing! Briiiiiing! Briiiiiing!  The school bell rings as the day ends. Students immediately leave their seats, teachers shake their heads and roll their eyes. The halls fill with talking students, eager to get home, to after school clubs or some other place. Ethan in particular was eager to leave. He'd spent the day watching Sammy blush at almost everything Xavier said. He rolls his eyes and walks through the halls to his locker. He quickly exchanges his books, taking the ones he needs, leaving the ones he doesn't. The talk of the school all day had been the party at Michael's tonight, he was captain of the football team and threw the best parties in school. Ethan walks out of the school and pulls his hood up, putting his headphones in. We Don't Belong by Black Veil Brides comes on and he puts his head down. He takes the long way home, deciding to stop at the park for a while. He had been invited by several different guys to go to Michael's party tonight but he didn't know, it wasn't his kinda thing. He sees the park in front of him and he smiles, immediately walking over to the swings. He sits down and pushes himself with his feet, gently moving back and forth. There were only a couple families there, the kids playing on the jungle gym, slides or playing tag. He sighs quietly and puts his head down. His day had been absolutely horrendous, watching the guy he loved flirting with another guy. Most days it wasn't that bad but today it was getting to him. "Hemmings!" He barely manages to hear his name being called over his music. Ethan groans and looks up, already knowing the face he was going to see; Xavier. Xavier struts over without a care in the world, sitting on the swing to the right of Ethan. "What do you want, Knight?" He asks exasperated, pulling out his headphones. "I just wanted to tell my bestest enemy that Sammy is a no go. He may blush at everything but he's as straight as a stick. Damn shame too." Xavier says shaking his head. The truth, Sammy was bisexual but he had a girlfriend back in California who he was absolutely in love with, Sammy's words not Xavier's. Ethan was happy and says at that fact. Happy because that was one less guy Xavier would brag about banging and sad because that was one less guy he could use to make Xavier jealous. He bites his lip and nods. "Shame." Ethan says shaking his head. "Well, that's all I wanted." Xavier says standing up. He turns to leave but stops, looking back at Ethan. "Oh, are you going to Michael's party tonight?" He asks curiously. Ethan shrugs and purses his lips. "I'll let you see for yourself tonight." He replies smirking. He hadnn't been planning on going but now, he was definitely gonna go. Xavier rolls his eyes and walks off, shaking his butt teasingly. Damn did it work though, Ethan's eyes were glued to Xavier's butt. He groans quietly and lowers his head, a second after Xavier looks back, smirking. Ethan fists his hands in his hair and sighs. "I've got to get over this." He says quietly. He absolutely hated that he loved Xavier but he couldn't help himself, he just did. He stands up and walks over to one of the trees at the edge of the park, climbing to the top. He looks around and smiles, he loved the view he got of the park from up here. After another hour of being up there, he climbs down carefully and walks home. He opens the door and walks inside, closing the door him. He walks into the kitchen and grabs a bottle of water before climbing the stairs to his room. He blares his music and walks into his closet, looking for an outfit tonight.
