"Woah there," Joel said as he caught the falling boy. He recognized the young face. "It's Ray, right?" The boy straightened his glasses. "Uh- yeah. Thanks," he murmured.
"No problem. I'm Joel by the way."
Ray stepped around him and to his locker. He pulled out his AP zoology and digital design binder. "What period do you have zoology?" He leaned against the adjacent locker, flashing his seductive smile.
Ray glanced up and blushed. The smile was working. "Uh- first," he stammered. He looked so nervous. His hands were shaking slightly and his cheeks were flushed.
Joel stood up straight. "Same!" He checked the analog clock on the wall. About 3 minutes until the bell rang. They could make it in time. "I'll walk with you," he said.
They made it to class with a minute to spare. Joel took his normal spot in the back beside Ryan and being the only seat left, Ray sat in front of the mad king. Ryan licked his lips. Out of the corner of his eye, Joel caught the gesture.
"What a pig," he thought to himself. "Chapped lips," he asked aloud. "I like what I see," Ryan responded.
Ray caught their conversation. Were they talking about him?
Ryan leaned forwards and whispered into Ray's ear which caused the boy to blush. "I don't deny myself nice things and your ass is one I've got to have."
Joel rubbed his temple. "I'm gonna have your ass if you don't leave him alone," he replied. Ryan leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms. He'd known Joel long enough to know that he meant what he said.
