FIGHT FOR FREEDOM CHAPTER TWO
I knew that this day was going to be like no other. I knew that as soon as I woke up. Things were different now, yet having said that I didnt really know how different they were going to be. I mean when I thought about it I didnt know what to expect when I first saw Ben. I didnt know how we would react around each other. After what had happend last night I didnt know what to do. I had been thinking about it all morning. I knew he wasnt gay and I was fine with that. But now he was getting my hopes up that maybe something could happen between us. He had told me that he wasnt sure about his own sexuality. While I on the other habd had never been more sure that I was gay.
Now as I stood in the corridors of our school waiting for other members of our group to turn up I was a bit nervous about what was going to happen. I suddenly spotted out of the corner of my eye my ex-girlfriend Jenny. When I looked up at her I saw she had a worried expression on her face. I didnt like it one bit. If Jenny was worried about something we wouldnt hear about anything else for the rest of the week. She was a classic over reactor. But she was also my good friend. i mean sure since we had broken up we had had numerous arguments. But it seemed that the group always brought us back together.
When she walked up to me she looked so upset I couldnt help but be a bit concerned. "Hey Jenny, whats wrong." She looked at me as though she had only just realised that I was standing there. Now I was really worried. "Oh hey Dwayne. Um.. have you seen Ben." I was shocked. Normally they walked to school together. If she didnt know where he was I sure as hell didnt. "Um.. no, didnt he walk to school with you." She gave me a look as if to say. 'Dah would I be asking if wed come together' but then she lightened up a bit and said. "No I went by his place but they said that he had already left."
As we were talking a few of our friends started to arrive. They left us alone because they knew better then to interupt if we were talking like this. "Well then hes probably not far away. Dont stress to much." She seemed to consider this as a possibility but then she said. "Yeah maybe but last night his mother rang me. She said Ben was going to my place." I panicked. I didnt know what to say. I couldnt say that he had been at my place otherwise it might arouse suspicion. I was frantically trying to dig us both out of trouble when I spotted my savior walking down the corridor.
Ben was walking at a brisk pace in our direction. At first I was glad to see him, until Isaw the loo on his face. I didnt like it one bit. He looked extremly pissed off. And he was staring straight at me. I was scared and decided to act before he had a chance to say anything that would destroy me. So I stepped around Jenny who had spotted Ben and turned his smiling face toward him. I walked to wards Ben who was still glaring at me as though he was ready to kill. As I came up to him I said. "Hey Ben whats going on." Of all the things I expected to happen next none of them even came close to the fist that came flying at me.
While I was stunned I still managed to duck out of the way and grab a hold of his arm to stop him trying again. I just stared daggers at me. "Let go of my arm you fucking faggot." I stopped moving. But I still had a tight grip on his arm. "What did you just say." I was angry but I spoke in a cool voice. By this time we had a small audience beginning to gather around us. I decided this conversation might be better if we moved to anothe rplace. Ben had other ideas. "I said Let go of me you queer fuck." Id had enough I literally tugged on his arm and pulled him around a corner away from everyone else.
I looked at Jenny quickly and she just looked stunned. I shoved Ben into the wall and forced him to sit down. He resisted. "Sit down and shut the fuck up." I was pissed off now. He had just crossed a million lines of friendship and I wasnt letting him walk away with it. He refused to sit down. "Leave me the fuck alone you faggot. Im sick and tired of faggots like you always trying to get into my pants." I stared at Ben. What the fuck was he talking about. I was worried that one of the teachers would hear us arguing and come to find out what was going on. So i said a little quieter but no warmer. "What the fuck are you talking about."
At this point Jenny decided she wanted to get involved but before she could even say anything I said to her. "Jenny dont even think about it. This is none of youre business." She looked at me angrily but bit her tongue and stormed off. I looked back at Ben. "You know exactly what Im talking about. Last night you wanted to sleep with me. Well Im sick of it. All you faggots think youse can just ask and ill let youse fuck me. Well last night was the final time." Ben was in tears by now. And I on the other hand was confused as all hell. What Ben was saying wasnt making any sense.
I didnt understand it. Last night Ben had shown me that everything was goig to be fine. Now he was yelling at me and telling me I had tried to rape him. We were both silent as I thought about what he was saying to me and it suddenly dawned on me. The thought scared the fuck out of me, Was it possible. I heard the crowd scatter a bit and knew that a teacher was on their way. I needed to find out for sure before we got into trouble. "Where did you go after you left my house." Ben was silent for a moment as he just looked at me. I could tell by the look that what I was thinking was the truth. "I went home." I gulped. Was he seriously suggesting what I thought he was suggesting.
At that moment the vice principal walked up to us. And as I had expected ordered for me to go to the office. I looked at Ben a final time and he almost whispered. "I went straight home." I nodded and turned and walked towards the office wondering what punishment I would cop this time. This deputy and me had never gotten along. I was in no way a perfect student but this guy thrived on anything i did wrong. Even the smallest things would cause me to have detention or something of the sort. I knew after this I would at least cop timeout. I didnt care. The only thing on my mind was what Ben had just told me.
About twenty minutes later I walked out of the front office and was headed for timeout. I saw Jenny in th corridor and she looked at me. "So what did they do." I wasnt really in thr mood for talking, but then I came up with an idea that could help me. "They gave me timeout for today. What happend to Ben do you know." She shrugged her shoulders. "I dont know he had a talk with him then Ben walked off. I dont know what they said." She looked at her watch. "Look Jenny im really sorry about going off at you before. I need a favor." For a moment she looked at me as though she thought I was crazy. But when she saw the look on my face she said. "Okay what do you need me to do."
I sighed with relief that she was willig to do it for me. "Okay please dont ask me any questions because I cant give you any answers at the moment. But I need when you see Ben ask him who he was talking about." She looked at me weirdly. "What do you mean." I shook my head at her. She couldnt help herself she had to ask me a question. "I cant answer that. I need you to ask him. Then meet me at the basketball courts after school."She was silent for a moment and then she nodded and said. "Okay"
I was waiting for Jenny after school. I was worried that she wasnt going to turn up. i wouldnt have entirely blamed her if she didnt. i did snap at her pretty bad this morning. But I neednt have worried as I saw her head across the oval in my direction. She didnt appear to be in the happiest of moods. "Did you ask him." I asked before she had even stopped. "Well hello to you to. Yes I asked him. What the hell is going on between you two." I shook my head at her again. "What was his answer." I was only concerned for one thing and she wasnt giving it to me. She looked as though she was becoming annoyed. "He said the whole family. Wjatever the fuck that means."
I stopped breathing. 'Oh my god this couldnt be happening. She noticed the look that came over y face. "Whats wrong. Dwayne whats going on. What about his family." I knew I still couldnt tell her anything. But I knew what I had to do. "Jenny we need to get him out of there. Can you go get him, and bring him to the footy oveal. I will meet youse there." She looked worried at the way I was acting. I was close to tears as I thought of what this all meant. "No not until someone tells me what the hell is going on." I looked at her with tears in my eyes and pleaded with her. "Please I cant tell you that up to him. Please just do this for me." The tears started to fall from my eyes. She was suprised. "Why are you crying what the hell is goig on."
Id had enough. I couldnt stand there anymore. I started to walk away. "Dwayne wait up where are you going." I turned back to her and said in an angry voice, "For fucks sake Jenny just go and get him."
