Gavin x Rowan: No Longer a Joke

Unsettling, yet lustful thoughts.

A-Block is nothing special; just simple math. Rowan and Ashton were both at the top of their grades, they always have been, too. Brody, however, was not only kinda dim but had a severe lack of effort and social skills. The Class was about to end and the two brainiacs were at the edge of their seats, ready to bolt out the door, to their next class. This is because, well, you know how you'd always drop your binder off between classes so you didn't have to hold it for the duration of the break? Well, this teacher, Mr. Kesteloot, usually shuts the door really quickly so that he doesn't have to wait for those students. So what the three would do (not so much Brody), is run as fast as possible, sometimes even cutting through staff areas, to get to class to drop their binder off. Pretty stupid, right? Well, these guys were all about stupid. The bell rang, and they fuckin TOOK OFF. Ashton cut through the staff room and library, and Rowan took a long way around, almost trampling students on the way. This was sort of nerve-racking for him. "What if I tackle Gavin again?" He thought. He shrugged it off, it wouldn't happen again, right..?

Ashton was dropping his binder off first, as usual, which made it so Rowan could get in, too. They both were waiting in the hallway afterwards playing Clash of Clans. "So, wanna make this morning an inside joke?" Ashton said. "Better not, Gavin wouldn't like that very much." Rowan replied. That wasn't the reason! He wanted this to be forgotten, not made fun of! 

"Ah, ok, so whe- is, is your shirt on backwards?"

"Yeah, I, uh, like it this way."

"Right..."

The bell rang for everyone to go to class. It was English. Class went as usual; almost everyone would just talk to each other (not so much the girls), but a select few would actually work. Brody would just stare at the wall and type at a, compared to class standards impressive, 5 words per minute. Rowan would work really fast and then watch memes, and Ashton would finish either first or second and spend the rest of the day sneaking looks at Katelyn, his crush. Today they were required to write a short story that portrays emotions. Everyone else did something normal, but Rowan and Ashton didn't. Ashton wrote some weird story about some guy who basically saw like he was on acid all the time, but Rowan couldn't stop thinking about last morning, he thought about how close he just was to literally being gay... And how much he liked it! He didn't know what it was about him. But Gavin drew Rowan's heart in without even realizing it. Rowan wanted to be his knight in shining armour. His protector, his love, his- "Interesting story you got there, Rowan." He turned around. It was Mr. Kesteloot. "What?" He muttered. He turned back to his Chromebook and saw he had wrote 3 pages of what was basically his entire fantasy with Gavin in disguise with two characters named Ziyah and Dick. His story was literally called "Ziyah likes Dick". Rowan blushed. "Uhh..." was all he could muster. "Just... Maybe a bit less intimacy? It's kinda graphic, ok?" Mr. Kesteloot said. "Oh, yeah, sure." He said and changed some of it, printed it, and handed it in. Rowan then sat down and started watching memes. Mostly Coronavirus memes right now. "So what was that about?" Brody nosed. "I dunno, man, I just kinda didn't care. I'm probably gonna get an A anyway". Rowan replied.

"Dude, I think you've been spending too much time with Ashton."

"What? You're with him when I am!"

"Yeah... But unlike you guys, I have a bedtime. You spend all night together, the only difference between you two is that you don't smoke weed."

"Not true... You forgot that my hair doesn't look like broccoli." Ashton heard that one. "At least I don't look like pedophile Justin Bieber, dipshit." He spat, jokingly of course. They all took a second to laugh at themselves. Suddenly, the bell rang, and it was lunch. Rowan's friends went to the couch at the front door where they usually sit, but Rowan figured that if he had something on his mind, he should talk about it. So, Rowan went to the Grade 9 area to Gavin's locker...
