Unfortunately Fated

Chapter 8

Jonathan

      I was currently in a health class waiting for the day to start. After last night it was hard to go to bed or to even think clearly. Now that Taylor knew what was really going on it felt like there was a weight lifted off my shoulders. "Jonathan are you sure rejecting each other is the best idea?" Taylor whispered to me. I was leaning my head against the window in class, I barely slept anymore and when I did it was for maybe 2 hours and I would wake up with a huge headache. "What do you think I should do?" I turned to her. "Fight! You should keep fighting and never stop until you get what you want." I just scoffed at her and rolled my eyes. "I'm tired of fighting." She got the hint and stopped talking and asking me questions. Maxwell walked in the class, his scent overtaking me again but I ignored him. I never looked at him once. I did get a glance though, he was on crutches for the next week. And he looked miserable, he wasn't looking like his normal put-together self. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was sticking out everywhere.

     I felt bad, but I can't let myself fall. "Hey, how are you feeling Max?" Bellamy asked him. "Oh, I've been better. Definitely an interesting first practice. But I'll be back next week, which is enough time for the first game." He said leaning back in the chair. "Well, we all will for sure be at your first game." I turned my head to the door and I saw this kid walk into class. He must be new in the class, I've never seen him in here before. He was about 5'10, he was a pretty boy. He was lean and had bright blonde hair and shining blue eyes, had these two hoop earrings in his ear and a bar. He had makeup on his face, so I assume he is gay. He was a pretty guy. He had a tattoo on his forearm of some writing in cursive. He sat in the seat in front of me and we made eye contact and he blushed and immediately turned away. What a cutie. Hmm, maybe I was gay, a little bit.

Bisexual.

      I mentally rolled my eyes at Antonious. But he might be right. I leaned forward, close enough to where he could hear me without other people eavesdropping. "Hi," I said to him and he jumped slightly and turned around. "Hi." He said shyly. "Jonathan, you're new in this class?" I asked trying to spark conversation. "I'm Caleb, and yeah this is my first day." He blushed again and I gave him a little side smile. "What are you doing for lunch?" I asked him. I could see him basically choke on his spit, as he looked back in surprise. "You should join me. I'll be at the royals table, it's not hard to miss." Before he could respond Augusta walked into class and of course, everyone came at full attention. I leaned back into my chair and I felt Maxwell burning holes in the back of my head. "I thought you weren't gay," Maxwell whispered in my ear, sending shivers throughout me. "Bi."

*****

       I was at the lunch table with an empty seat next to me waiting for Caleb. "You see the cutie in health class? His makeup was really good." Rhen spoke up in between bites of her food. "I'm going to ask him to teach me! I need help." Kailani said laughing. "Well, Jonathan invited him to sit with us at lunch today," Taylor added in, reading an eyebrow at me. "Oh really? Jonathan, I didn't know you were gay." Adam added in. "Bi." Maxwell and I said at the same time. I just rolled my eyes at him. He hadn't stopped staring at me this entire time, I couldn't tell what was going through his mind. I couldn't get a read on it. I saw Caleb looking around and we finally saw me and walked over and sat down. I could tell he was nervous, this was probably the first time he's been around this many royals. "You must be Caleb." Bellamy chimed up and gave him a welcoming smile. "Yes, your majesty." We all stayed silent and started laughing at him. His face went beat red and embarrassment covered his face. "Sorry for laughing, but no need for formality," Bellamy said in between laughs. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know." He put his hands in his lap and messed with his fingers.
