Tuesday, 26th, August, 20xx, XXXXX High-school
It's 9 o'clock in the morning, the first day of school. Everybody is getting to know each other, others are going to their designated classes. While I'm over here sitting at the back of the class looking like some asshole that would beat someone up if they got close.
Ah...maybe I shouldn't have sat at the back, I wondered.
Then suddenly, the class fell silent. Does this so called 'private school' have bullies too?
The door bursts open, then out the corner of my eye. I see... a short and twink like guy?
What the actual fuck.
Bewilderment. Exactly, why the hell would a 5'1 guy be intimidating? Unless, of course this class is more idiotic than the last one. And even though the classroom was quiet, the atmosphere seemed...strangely lax?
In the blink of an eye, the guys were rushing towards him. A group of girls snickered, others were rolling their eyes.
...Oh! That guy must be the class-clown.
He started walking towards me, it was at that moment when I realized the only seat left was the one next to me and fuck.
As he got closer, I was able to decipher his features more clearly. Almond-shape eyes, framed by subtly folded lids that made it seem impossible for him to get angry.Thin lips, hair the perfect color of storm clouds at midnight. His skin looked smooth and pale, and his lashes were long and dark, like ink strokes against paper -- delicate but striking.
"Hello?" He asks.
"Oh hi." I replied dryly.
"Mind if I sit here?"
"Sure go ahead."
And then the bell rang, students took their seats. The teacher came in, and the lecture began. The whole lecture, the whole forty minutes we've sat next to each other. We both haven't said a word to one another. No glances, so small talks, just complete silence. And then he broke it by asking the most idiotic question I've ever been asked.
"Hey so are you gay?"
"What? No why?"
"Did you have any friends during middle-school?"
"Of course I did."
I lied, I never had any friends during middle school. Probably because I never really cared to get attached to people who I'll probably never see again after school's over. And it never really bothered me.
"You wanna hop over the fence with me?"
"For what?"
"Food in the cafeteria is shit and I can't eat in peace."
"...I never even got your name?"
"My name's Rio. What bout you?"
"I'm Rick, nice to meet yo-"
The bell rang. And he stood up, he stood up so fast that any elderly person would've broken their backs just by looking. I then got dragged by the collar.
We're running through the corridors, down the stairs and I might have heard a few teachers yelling at us but it was hard to understand what they were saying because we were running too fast. Then before I knew it, we were at the fences behind the school.
The fences were about twice his size, they weren't made of steel unlike other fences and the top was smooth too. And for some reason there weren't any security guards either, which was strange because students could be hopping over the fences during recess without anyone knowing.
"So how are you gonna get over that thing?"
And before I knew it he jumped over like it was nothing.
"Now how are you gonna get over?"
Mind you I am 5'11 and as a junior in high school I think that's pretty tall, unlike a certain someone.
I got over the fences pretty easily, not that it was hard. But before I even got the chance to get back at him for what he said earlier, I was pulled by the collar a second time to god knows where.
We were running for a little while, and by 'we' I mean Rio. I wasn't running withhim I was practically being dragged by him like a dog."How much longer are you gonna keep dragging me?" I ask because he may be short but his physical strength is no joke, I realized that the first time.
"We're here."
"...uhm how many turns did we...?"
"You don't need to worry about getting lost, I know this neighborhood like the back of my hand."
"Do you live around here?" I ask as he proceeds to drag me into the store.
"No, I just come here often."
"understandable..."
Rio and I got a pack of ramen, and he also got a carton of strawberry milk in which I suggested. We sat and ate for while, and about twenty minutes pass when I realize we're suppose to be at school right now.
"How long does recess normally last...?"
"Ten minutes after each class and twenty before the afternoon classes."
"Should we not go back?"
"Do you wanna?"
"I mean...what if we get caught?"
"Then we get caught together?"
"Is that suppose to be assuring?"
We got caught. The moment I asked that question one of the schools security came up behind me and now we're in detention getting scolded by the principle. In addition, we now have to clean up after class and sit in this classroom for the next two lectures.
"This is your fault you know."
"How exactly is this my fault? Weren't you the one who forced me to come along?"
"I didn't force you, you agreed to come with me."
"I did not."
"Well it's too late now" Rio said with a grin on his face.
"..."
It's been a few hours since we've been here, four whole hours to be exact. Rio's been trying to find a way to get out even though there a security guard outside the class, and even if there's a window big enough for him to fit through he would be asking for a death wish if he jumped out because we're literally on the forth-floor. There's six whole floors to this school, and why is the principles office on this floor? No idea what they were thinking.
"Are you just gonna keep staring at me?"
"Yeah and I was wondering why you asked me if I was gay?"
"Because you look gay."
"You have a body girls would die for, and what part of me even looks gay??"
"Dude you look like a top straight out of BL Drama."
"First of all what the fuck is a top, and secondly how the actual fuck do you know that."
"Know what?"
"You watch two men kiss?"
"No."
"Then why do you think I'm gay?"
"I don't know, I just have this feeling you're into guys."
"I am not-" He fucking kissed me. Not on the cheek, not on the forehead, and he fucking bit my lip too.
"what the fuck?!?"
"I don't like losing."
"So you kissed me?!??"
"Your really not into guys?"
"For fuck's sake no!?"
"Damn."
"Are you!??"
"I like big tits."
"If you like girls then why'd you kiss me?!"
"That doesn't just apply to girls you know?"
Before I could ask him what he meant, he sprinted out of the classroom while the guard quickly chases after him. And that's how he fucking ditched me and left me with a bruised lip.
Three-thirty, everyone is going home and I'm fucking stuck here doing cleaning duty by myself because some shithead wanted to go home early and watch gay porn. I took some time to figure out what he meant by that, and I've realized he likes both men and women.
"You didn't run away?"
Speak of the devil, and he's leaning on the door frame with snacks.
"I thought you ditched me?"
"I was hungry."
"Did you feel bad for me?"
"Of course"
"Are you gonna help me th-"
"Not."
"You're so heartless." I say while continuing to clean the marker doodles off a desk.
"Well...do you like me now?"
"I told you I'm not gay."
"It doesn't have to be romantically."
"You're asking me if I like you as friend?"
"Yeah."
"I guess you're kind of fun to hang out with."
He picks up a broom and when I thought he was gonna help me- He throws it at me.
"Do you live in the dorms?"
The dorms, is the building across the streets from school. It was made for the foreign students, or students who lives far away to stay during the school year.
"Yeah?"
"Do you know who your dorm-mate is?"
"No."
"Did you read their name?"
"Even if I did, I wouldn't even know who they are."
He leaves. I should've forced him to come back and help me, although I would be wasting my breath trying to.
It was around four when I finished cleaning, and I went back to my dorm just to see him lying there on the bed my dorm-mate was suppose to be sleeping on.
