The Gay Nerd Who Stole His Heart

Chapter 5 - "Besides, I don't even know his name."

Kylan had a pounding headache when he woke up the next day, and unfortunately, since the party had been on a Sunday night, it was Monday morning. It always happened this way, which was horrible, but the party had been insane. He did not remember much, but his lower back and behind were incredibly sore, that he was not too sure what to think. He scratched the back of his head, and heard soft snores beside him; he was not surprised to find Ella sleeping beside him. They had school, and he nudged her, waking her before descending from the bed with aches in his back. He could not exactly remember what had occurred the night previous, and headed the the bathroom.

Someone had taken out his contacts, and he assumed it was Ella, since there was no way he would have done it. He felt a disdain taste of alcohol in his mouth that he rapidly needed to get rid of. He reached the sink, and grabbed his toothbrush, instantly brushing his teeth in hopes to get rid of the taste. However, as he started thinking, he attempted to remember what had happened the previous night. He remember taking the cab, arriving to the party, walking around with Ella, greeting Micky. Then, the pictures he was seeing blurry became visible, and he began connecting the images in his mind. As he slowly began remembering the details of the night, his body froze for a second.

Ella left, and he danced with Jasmine, finished his bottle, attempted to find a bathroom but entered a room instead. That room had Jonah standing inside, but he could not exactly remember what he had said to him. However, one thing he for sure did remember, was the reason why he was sore, and he instantly spat out the toothpaste from his mouh and raced to the exit of the bathroom, screaming, "I had sex with Jonah!"

Ella's head flew up from the pillow, and she turned to Kylan, whose face was pitch red with widened eyes and gaping mouth. He was standing in shock, fear, uneasiness and anxiety to see him today. He wished he could remember what he had said, and if he had embarrassed himself, but one thing was certain, they had sex. Although the idea was not exactly repelling, it was simply awkward and unbelievable, that it made him tremble. It was a good thing yes, but he was afraid of seeing Jonah today.

Ella raised her eyebrows, "What are you talking about?"

"I had sex with Jonah," he screamed again, and Ella's eyes widened.  When she went to find Kylan at the end of the party, she was confused as to why Jonah had carried him to the cab. It had been a struggle to help him up the stairs when they arrived home, but she did see it as odd when Jonah helped her, and was being extremely nice.

She jumped to her feet, "Oh my god! What did I tell you? He's gay."

"He's not gay, Ella."

"Then why did he have sex with you—"

"I have no fucking idea," he replied stressfully, "but I'm not going to school today."

"Why not?" she frowned, pulling her hair into a bun and following him into the bathroom. She had her belongings there as well, and grabbed her toothbrush.

He raised his eyebrows, "Because it's awkward. I'm changing schools."

"Calm down, I had sex with boys before whom I was shy with. You have to deal through it," she added maturely.

He shook his head rapidly, "I don't want to."

"Well, that's the real world. Now, get dressed, take a few Tylenol's and face him like a man."

With a groan, Kylan exited the bathroom and headed for his closet. He wished he could have stopped himself yesterday, and cursed under his breath at how unpredictable and insane he became as he drank. He had glazed through that bottle as if it was water, which Ella had warned. However, he never thought that he would have to face Jonah, a man that many girls followed everywhere. It had been pure luck that he was in that room, which he slapped his forehead for; why couldn't he have found the bathroom? As he grabbed his closest pair of sweats and his blank shirt, he exited the closet with sweats and a shirt for Ella, whom cleaned her face and stripped herself of her dress to put on his clothes. They descended from the bedroom, and she hurried to the kitchen to grab a few snacks.
