Basketballs and Guitars (BOYxBOY)

Chapter 12

Kyle's POV

I smiled as I looked at my boyfriend. His hand in mine, his scent filling the air. I sound like a loser right now but I don't care. I fully understand what love is.

"Quit staring" he said, a blush creeping in on his cheeks.

I chuckled "sorry, I can't help it" I said.

After a few more minutes of silence, Jam spoke up, "when are we gonna tell people?" he asked.

I looked at him once again and worst possible scenarios popped in my head. What about my other friends? My bad boy reputation? What about all those times I spent on being "untouchable"?

I must have been thinking too hard because Jam spoke up once again "we don't have to tell anyone...yet. I can wait for a while until you're ready"

"You can? For me? Really?" I asked.

"Yeah" he smiled. Suddenly, we heard a rustle in one of the bushes, I let go of his hand and stood up and walked slowly towards the moving bush. I was about to strike when Mike popped out of the bust and said "wait! It's just us!"

I sighed in relied and Jam chuckle and walked towards us. Meanwhile, Dani, Hayley, Eleanor, Rina and Natasha popped out of the bush too.

"were you guys spying on us?" Jam asked.

"No!" they all said and looked away causing the both of us to chuckled again.

"not to ruin your moment guys but it's already time to head to class" Natasha said, looking at her watch.

"no problem, you already did" I joked. Natasha stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes causing me to snicker a bit.

As soon as we entered the room, Ryan was sitting alone at the back while the others decided to sit in front. I looked at Jam then Ryan then back to Jam.

"it's okau, just sit with him" Jam said, smiling at me.

"What about you?" I asked him.

"I'll be fine" he said.

"Oooor, we could just sit along with Ryan. If it's okay with him" Mike said, looking at the girls, who in return just shrugged.

"If it's okay with him, then sure why not" Hayley said. Mike looked at me and I shrugged "i think it's okay"

We all walked towards Ryan, who looked up and smiled at me.

"Hey Ry, can we sit here?" I asked him.

"Yeah sure" he said, trying to give a warm smile although they really didn't really reach his eyes. I sat beside him with Jam on my other side and everybody else around us.

"so uhm, there's gonna be a new student today" Ryan said, trying to strike up conversation.

"really? I wonder if it's a boy or a girl" Eleanor said. And as if on cue, our teacher entered with a girl beside her.

"Settle down students, let me introduce you to Julieanne McDonough, our new transfer student. She had a bit of problem at home that's why she's a bit late"

"McDonough?" I heard Rina say from in front of me.

Julieanne smiled at all of us and said "Hi I'm Julieanne but you can just call me July, because Julie is too girly and I was born in July" we all nodded.

"Well July, you can sit over there with Ryan" Sir Gomez said, pointing to an empty chair beside Ryan. She walked slowly and finally sat down on her new chair.

Rina shifted in her seat to look at July. "Did you say your last name was McDonough?" 

July nodded and smiled "yep, my brother is actually a senior here. Maximillian McDonough. Or Max" and in a quick second, Dani, Hayley, Eleanor and Natasha looked at her.

"You're brother is Max McDonough?" Dani asked and July smilpy nodded.

"Who's Max McDonough?" I asked Jam and cursing my lack of interest in other people.

"Oh just some guy they've been stalking since last year" Jam said, earning glares from the five girls.

"You guys likes my brother?" July asked.

"We don't stalk him!" Hayley glared at Jam.

"Sure you don't. It's not like you have his schedule and about a hundred photos of him in your phone" Jam said, smirking as all five girls looked away from July.

"Oh it's okay. I know a lot of people like my brother" July said, smiling at all of us.

"Wait, can anyone even tell me what he looks like?" I asked, getting frustrated. Since Jam knows him , I think I should too.

"Seriously Kyle?" Ryan spoke up "He's that really white senior who beat us in basketball the other day" 

"He was?" I said, trying to refresh my thoughts and getting embarrassed as Jam asked "Max beat you in basketball?"

I I looked at the floor, "Yeah" I said.

"He did? Was he really good?" Rina asked, looking at Ryan this time who shrugged.

"He is, I guess. I mean he did beat Kyle. That's a pretty huge thing" Ryan said, pulling me into a deeper hole full of guilt and embarrassment.

"Oh don't worry Kyle. I think you're the best basketball player here! Max is older than you, and not to mention taller. You'll get him someday" Jam said, smiling at me.

July suddenly interrupted, "well, you know my name but I don't know yours" she said, looking at Jam alone.

"Oh I'm Hayley" "Dani" "Eleanor" "Rina" "Natasha" "MIIIKE!" "Ryan" "Kyle"

"Jam" Jam said. July smiled at him and said "Hi Jam, such a cute name", completely oblivious to the rest of us. I stared at July, an uneasy feeling settling in my stomach. Maybe it was the way she looked at him.

Oh how I want to scream "GET AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIEND!" but I can't, so I decided to ignore the feeling and try and concentrate. 

"Students at the back, please keep quite and pay attention" Sir Gomez said, staring particularly at me

"Yeah we should concbtrate and quit talking" I said, glaring slightly at July who just raised her eyebrow in return.

Ryan looked at me too while raising his eyebrow. I mouthed "I'll tell you later" and he just shrugged and nodded.

I looked back at Jam. No one and nothing will ever take him away from me. Ever.
