A New Perspective

chapter 3

Ryan

I stood for a couple of seconds thinking rapidly about what I should do but nothing came to mind in my i-guess-not-as-smart-as-i-thought brain. I didn't exactly have a choice so I hoisted my bag over my shoulder and slowly walked over to the seat at the back of the class. 

The smell of dry wood and lingering chemicals was in the air just lightly lingering in the air, and something else thats seemed to be radiating from him. I didn't look at him as I sat down, I was scared of what he might do as stupid as that sounds but I remembered what that guy told me about what Tanner does and I refused to let it happen to me.

I dumped my bag on the floor and waited as the teacher left the class to get a jotter, almost immediatly the class burst into chat, except for some odd glances at me no one really payed any attention to me which I was glad about. That was until someone decided to talk to me,

"So are you gay?" He said next to me,

"Um excuse me?" I said turning around to him, putting on my best bored voice to throw him off,

"I saw you checking me out before so that means your most definitely not straight, so what are you - gay, bi or curious?" he said smugly leaning back against the wall and crossing his arms over to show some muscle I guess which I had to say he had plenty of.

"I'm bi, not that it's any of your business," I said smugly back only to have an arm draped over my shoulders,

"Listen babe, there's a party tonight, what do you say we go together?" He said winking at me and using the arm he had draped round my shoulders to pull me closer to his warm side.

"I uh can't, I'm still s-settling i-in," I stuttered, my heart beating quicker due to being in such close proximity with him.

"Well what better way to settle in than to mingle with everyone," 

"Sorry I can't maybe some other time," I replied shrugging his arm off but he remained adamant and kept it there.

"All right I get ya, so you work out at all?"

"Not really," I said still sounding bored but I don't think he was convinced "do you?"

"Humph well I go to boxing and am pretty damn good so yeah," He replied smugly

"Very sure of yourself aren't you? That's a real turn off," I said and practically pushed his arm off me, what that boy said was beginning to sound more and more true every second.

"Well I can change for you," he said flashing me a dazzling smile with his pure white teeth " date me?"

I couldn' help but laugh.

"Nope."

"Wh-what?" 

I guess he didn't get rejected a lot,

"You heard," I said not looking at him

"Your lying!" He practically shouted

"Excuse me?"

"You do wanna date me, your just scared because of what that little gimp told you after p.e , did he feed you lies about how i date everyone and dump them after they put out?"

"Uh yeah, how did yo-" I was cut off.

"He tells everyone that! He still wants me so he tells people lies about me so no one dates me thinking i'll go back to him,!" He shouted "Come on babe, please? I'll treat you real nice and I won't do anything you don't want me too!"

I couldn't help but believe him,

"R..really?"

"Yes, now please I-"
