Troy (Wednesday: Lunch break)
I was really nervous, tonight Dyan is taking me to meet his dad.
He and I have acted as if nothing ever happened when we're in school. But I won't lie, it makes me want to kiss him every time I see how Logan holds Sophie, especially because Lexie doesn't know we just started dating and constantly hugs him. It makes me want to rip him off her arms. Yes, I am the jealous type. He's my man after all.
Logan and Sophie are the talk of the school. Everyone adores them. But it's no wonder, they are perfect together!
I used to think Logan was permanently born with an angry face, but he is always smiling now. Needless to say my best friend Sophie! There's a special gleam in her eyes.
I still can't believe they are together. They make the cutest couple ever.
I didn't like Logan at first, I thought maybe he just wanted to make fun of her and continue with his dumb pranks on her like he always did. But I see both of them changing. I just hope they can make this work and they can be a strong happy couple. That Amber better not do anything to mess it up. I will rip her hair out myself.
But back to Dylan and me. . . .He knows I am still not comfortable with people knowing I'm gay. It scares me to what they may say. I haven't had the guts to come out of the closet as he has. His dad has known for a few years and supports him all the way. But that isn't the same with me.
My parents gave me their back the day I told them I was gay. I haven't talked to them since that day either. I tried calling my mom a few times, but she'd either say she was too busy to talk, or she simply wouldn't answer my call.
It was worse with my dad. I called him one time a few weeks ago! And I regret it. After he said I was a disgrace and didn't want me calling again, he said he was going to terminate my allowance completely once I turned 18. I had to figure it out how to pay the rest of my car and insurance because he wasn't going to support me anymore.
I had to figure out how I was going to do it for college. I was so overwhelmed, that I didn't notice my grandma when she went into my room. I was crying in the shower. When I got out of the restroom, she sat with me and consoled me until I had no more tears to cry.
Needles to say, I haven't told Sophie or Lexie because I don't want them to worry. Grandma is still a shareholder at dad's business, and since the house, and dad's house in New York is under her name, he is going to end with a big surprise when I graduate college.
I originally wanted to study photography and travel the world. I love traveling, but there is so much I still haven't seen. But now grandma has made me change my options. I will study photography, but I will double major in business. Since grandpa was the founder of the business, grandma inherited most of the shares. Dad is CEO but holds only twenty percent. Grandma owns forty. Since she feels she's getting older, she has put me as the inherit of those shares and will come into effect soon as I graduate college.
This is why I haven't told them. I want to surprise them when it all comes down to dad. Evil right? But grandma seems to think it's what dad deserves for having such a cold heart.
I have seen how other kids in our school get ridiculed by other kids because they are openly gay. I wasn't sure I was ready to face that ridicule just yet. I get hit on by girls all the time. I even made up a fake girlfriend for a while so they wouldn't suspect. But I told them I broke up with her because she was too jealous of Lexie and Sophie.
Sophie and I made our way to the lunch table like usual, and the green monster got the best of me when I saw Logan run behind us and picked up Sophie in a bridal style and spin her around. He carried her to the line and paid for her food. That's usually what I do. I know Sophie always carries loads of cash because her parents are pretty wealthy too. But I like paying for her either way, just like I do for Lexie. I kept staring at them with a smile on my face as I stood behind them. My mind wondered how it would be to hold Dylan like that without worrying about people judging us?
I was in a trance looking at them that I hadn't noticed Dylan coming my way from behind. He leaned over, and whispered in my ear, "Hey babe." His husky voice sent shivers down my spine. I'm slightly a few inches taller than him, but we're both pretty tall. His chin comes directly to my shoulder and graces my neck.
He discreetly runs his hand across my butt and stands behind me. I clear my throat, but I can't contain the smile on my face. We grabbed our lunch and followed Sophie to the line to pay. Just as I'm about to pay, Lexie stands in front of the lady and hands her a bill.
"My turn! I got this guys. Can you charge me my food and my two most handsome friends in the world please?" She says to the cafeteria lady making her smile.
"Aw, that's very sweet of you honey. You know boys, it's ok to let a lady treat you from time to time." She smiles handing Lexie her change. Lexie grabs her food and squints an eye at both of us.
She begins to walk away and then turns to both of us. "Could I talk to you both for a second? There's a little something that's been itching me a little and need to get it off my back. Is that cool?" We both look at her. Our eyes are wide open and I gulp hard.
Lexie is one of the coolest girls I have ever met. She's smart and sexy. She can be very patient and the best shoulder to cry on when Sophie isn't here. She can hold a secret and never reveal it. . .she will literally take it to her grave.
"Wait. Now?" I ask as we both walk behind her.
She turns and smirks mischievously. "Yes now! Come on, follow me."
So, we both sighed and followed right behind her. She lead us to sit on a private bench under the football bleachers where we used to sit during our first high school year. We have rarely seen people sit here. We placed our food down and sat across from her.
She smiled placing her elbows on top of the table and pursed her fingers. "Well? Got anything to say to me boys?" She asked sheepishly.
We both glanced at her confused. I have no freaking idea what she was talking about and by the look on Dylan's face? Neither did he.
"Um. . . n-no. I don't, do you, Dylan?" I ask and he shrugs his shoulders "Nope. Not me."
"Oh for crying out loud. I saw you two in the alley. You can't lie to me. Tell me! Are you two dating now? Because I so want to know the details, Please? You guys are so good together."
My eyes widened and I choked on my burger. Dylan pats my back, chuckling along with Lexie. It took me a few seconds but I managed to swallow my burger and relax a little. My face felt hot and I was really embarrassed.
"Lexie I... I'm so so sorry. I know you liked him, but I really really fell hard for him."
She giggles covering her mouth. "T, don't get me wrong, ok? Dylan is hot, so are you! But. . . I saw the way you two drooled over each other from the start. I purposely hugged Dylan and spent time with him to make your ass jealous. And you know why? Because I wanted you to take that leap of faith and make a move on him."
She grips her chicken sandwich bitting it and smiles. Dylan looks at me, placing his chin on my shoulder and pulling me by my waist against him.
"T, I know you are not ready to tell everyone about your situation, but I want you to consider one thing, ok? If this is a serious thing between you two, how will you make it work if you have to hide from everyone? How long will it be before a girl starts to flirt with Dylan or you and makes either one of you jealous? Is it going to be ok for you to see Dylan flirt with another girl to avoid suspicions of you and him being a couple? f**k the rest T! This is your man now! Flaunt him and make every b***h here know he belongs to you! I mean look at Sophie and Logan? He's letting the whole damn town know she's the world to him. Why can't you do the same for Dylan? Isn't he worth it?"
She gets up, and grabs us, leans down kissing us both on the cheek. "I'll let you think about it. See you guys tomorrow ok?" She smiles and walks away leaving us alone.
Dylan pulls me, kissing me with passion. I know she's right, but I am just so scared. We talked for a while, well. . . more like made out! But you get the picture! When it was close to the end of lunch break, I told him to just give me time. I want to be able to let the world know we're together, but I needed to ready my mind and place my emotions in order before we did.
So. . . we agreed to keep our love secret for now. Though I have a feeling we are going to be spending lots of time together after school.
