Something About Zane. (BoyxBoy)

2-Third Wheel

It's been a few weeks since Zane started school, and they are taken by him... the girls and some of the other gays who are not worth me mentioning.

"I mean he is fine or whatever, but can they let his nuts breath."

I wonder what his nuts look like anyways... "Yo, earth to Rowan!"

My best friend Jazzy snapped her fingers to get my attention. She was chewing her gum and twirling her braid smiling, "You feeling new boy?" She asked.

"No, he is fine... and totally straight, he is staying with his god mom, Willa."

"Shut up, your moms bestie ?" She asked.

"Yeah, I showed him around, and he's been distant for some reason, maybe I said something or did I hit on him and not realize it?"

"Ro, chill out, he will come around if he wants to, he might just be adjusting to the new school."

The bell rang, and If I must be honest gym is not my favorite class. And I like to change first.

"See you at lunch."

.....

"Today we are having a good old fashioned game of dodge ball!"

There were mostly cheers from the class, me on the other hand was  not impressed... what are we 8?

I knew I had to break away, I headed towards the locker room and was stopped dead in my tracks,

"Oh shit." I yelled quickly covering my mouth.

Zane was kissing Eli Rainey... "Um, Can you go somewhere else, we were occupied." Eli said.

Zane was looking me dead in the eyes... "oh, my bad... I'll just leave" i don't think I ran this fast in gym class...ever! But I will admit, despite just meeting Zane a few weeks ago I am crushed to see him kissing Eli, the other gay and much more feminine than me.... That means Zane is gay!?

I did my best to avoid him for the rest of the day, even skipping gossip hour aka lunch with Jazzy.

I stayed after school for a brief meeting about our weekend trip to the museum and i headed straight home.

.....

"Ro, is that you" my mom yelled.

"Yes, I am home!" I was still kicking off my shoes, and tossing my book bag down by the door.

"Hey, mom how was your-"

Zane and his god-mom Willa were all sitting in the living room, Zane was playing with Riley and Raven.

"Hi Ro Ro" Raven yelled in the middle of being tickled by Zane.

He stood up, and placed his hands in his pockets. "Ro can we talk?" He asked.

I sighed, and waved my hand as we walked towards the stairs and up to my room.

We were standing in my room, it was an awkward silence... 

"so I know you saw me and Eli" he said.  

"Oh, yeah that!... you two are a thing?" I asked.

"I don't know..." he said. 

"That's cool or whatever." I said. 

"Yeah."  

"But why is this the first time your speaking to me in a few weeks... I didn't push because I wanted to give you your space since your just moving here." I asked. 

Zane has no answer he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well I'm here now, I want you to come to this party with me and Eli... it's his cousins friends party in Big Valley". 

"That sounds like fun, maybe I will." I said.  Zane smiled...

"cool, but whoever discovered this area should have thought a little harder than Big and Little Valley" Zane said.

"Oh I agree on that." We both laughed.

.......

The party was in full effect and downed two cups of liquor already, because being in the car with Zane and Eli was beyond awkward! I felt drinks would easy the awkwardness.

Zane was handling the music, I really didn't know he was a DJ until he said it before we walked in the party, and we have only been here an hour and he is really good!

Eli standing by the booth, like a doting boyfriend that he is. I rolled my eyes and headed for another drink, when I grabbed the bottle, someone else grabbed the bottle.

"Something is bothering you, and drinking is not the answer."

"Excuse me?"

He smiled and my heart fluttered, he is a white boy and I don't know if I should feel some type of way for how his smile just made me feel.

"I'm Jordan Young, and welcome to my party!"

"Thank you for inviting me." What the fuck Rowan you really suck at flirting or being in front of someone who is attractive.

"I mean, I am Rowan!" I stuck out my hand, he smiled and shook it.

"Your with Eli and the DJ?"

"Yeah, playing the third wheel."

"Nah, you are dancing with me."

Jordan took my hand, and we made our way to the center of the dance floor and it was like a scene out of a teen fiction film where the hottest guy in the room and the underdog has their moment and some epic song is playing.

Zane knew he was wrong for switching to Teyana Taylor & King Combs song How You Want it, I had to show this white boy out.

The song ended, we walked back in the kitchen, Jordan didn't leave much space between us, I could feel his boner on my side.

"Damn... you were trying to embarrass me at my own party."

"Well, someone enjoyed it."  He looked up at me and then he did this thing where he licked his lips and bit his bottom lip.

"So, what are you going to do about it?" He asked. The offer was tempting, I am a virgin and don't plan on losing it to this white boy, he is fine, but NOPE... not happening.

I yanked him by his shirt, and kissed him, he lifted me on the counter.

The sound of people yelling ruined the moment I was having with Jordan.

"FUCK" he yelled.

"Go, handle that." I said.

He tapped my knee, and he ran into the living room to break up whatever commotion was happening out there.

Zane walked in, "So you and the white boy?"

Here he comes with his smart ass. "Something like that."

He laughed and he downed took a puff from his blunt.

"You and Eli?" I asked. He looked at me and his eyebrow raised. "Something like that"

"Touche"

Of course the party was over and it was back to being the third wheel.

"Yo, Rowan!"

Jordan was running after me.

"Damn, I gotta quit smoking weed."  He stood back up and took a deep breath.

"I wanna see you, like go on a date or something"

"Really?" I asked.

"... um yeah! Let's link up."

We switched phones and put our numbers in them.

When I got in the car, Eli was cheesing ear to ear "Ok, Ro... better book you a white boy."

I laughed and happened to glance Zane eyeing me in the rearview mirror. When our eyes met he focused on the road.

He is so confusing and we just met.
