Hostage

Chapter 1

"Aaron are we still on for studying tonight?" My good friend Bethany called out to me from her locker as I strolled effortlessly down the hallway of our large high school.

"You know it." I called back while still walking. I tightened the grip on the strap of my backpack as I found myself entering my last class of the day and sitting in my usual seat in the back.

"Hey Aaron." Taylor said as I unpacked my books. "Hi Taylor." Taylor and I had been practically the only "out" gay boys at our schools which made everyone think we were dating, but really we were just friends.

My teacher, Mrs. Maxwell, walked in, greeted everyone and immediately began teaching, having she was late like she always is.

Suddenly in stormed in Nate Tucker. I smiled to myself as he greeted our teacher and sat in his seat which was right in front of mine.

Nate had moved to Kingsville from another state almost a year ago and since then he had gained his ranking of almost the most popular boy in the school from sports and stuff like that. Almost everyone wanted him, including me.

"Hi Aaron." He whispered over his shoulder. "Hey Nate." I whispered back.

Nate was like one of those guys that would keep his jock friends from ridiculing me, I would sometimes fantasize that he would do that because he secretly liked me, but what was the chances of a sight for sore eyes like that to like someone like me. And when I say someone like me, I mean someone with the same parts down there as him.

I mean I am a very appealing person, but I knew looks didn't matter when it came to gender.

Class went on fairly quickly as the bell rung for the class to be dismissed. I packed my things and headed for the door but was interrupted.

"Hey Aaron wait up," Nate called behind me. "A couple of friends and I are going out to the ridge tonight and we wanted to see if you wanted to come."

The ridge was where all the "cool kids" went to smoke weed and sit out by the campfire. "A couple of friends?" I asked.

"Yea, Paul, Jessica, Britney, Ryan, and I." I started to disagree because although Jessica and Britney was on the cheer team, and I was cool with the cheerleaders, Paul and Ryan would be there and I have a rough history of them laughing and bullying me.

"Come on Air." He pleaded while smiling. "It'll be fun!" His smile was so beautiful that I couldn't reject his offer. "Ok what time." I said rolling my eyes and laughing. "Everyone is meeting out there at 10pm."
