Pumpkin 10

Ok, I hated French, but most important I hated the teacher. I just couldn't like this man, and I just wished that he would have stayed home today...

"Mike, tell us your answer!" He said looking right at me

I read it, he looked at me" Anyone have a better one?"

Ok, if he had been right in front of me, I swear I would have kicked him. I hated him...

"Pssst" I heard Gill signaling for my attention.

I looked at him "What?"

"Look at the prince sleepin!" he told me pointing to Pete

Pete was sleeping. Since it was a morning class, he always slept. I don't know what the hell he did in his room at night that kept him from sleeping, but he looked cute either way. I wondered how the hell he managed to survive with what he had gone through with Max. He was really a strong person, and after I heard that story I was even more in love.

...

"So, they told me that she is dating Stevens the teacher..." Susy said.

We were seated outside near the main football field on the grass. Susy was talking about dating matters with the girls, which was their favorite subject.

"Do you know what I heard yesterday?" Sara said

They all looked at her with the "tell-me" look at which point I just rolled my eyes. While she told them the "important" information, I looked at the bar entrance to see if Gill was coming. I don't know what the hell he was doing in there. Suddenly everything went black when someone put with his hands over my eyes

"Guess who!" the person said trying to disguise the voice.

I touched the hands and immediately guessed. " It's prince sleepy head!" I said smiling.

Pete removed his hands from my eyes and sat next to me" How did you guess?"

"Easy, your hands, I already know them..." I said smiling, I looked at Kat who was about to say something" Don't even think about it!"

She just smiled and continued her conversation, I looked at Pete and he grinned, I loved to see him happy, and right at that moment, I so wanted to kiss him, but I had to resist the temptation...

"Pete did you ever talk to Max, after the...well...incident?" I asked feeling a little insecure.

"No... in fact I came to this school to get away from him... and I ended up finding you..." he said smiling

I just smiled back "So, what were you doing last night?" I said trying to change the subject.

"Last night? I slept..." He said naturally

"Than why did you sleep through almost all the English class?" I asked looking at him.

"Oh, that...I always get sleepy during English classes..." he said putting his hand on the grass but behind me

"Pete, you can't do that" I said worriedly" You know we are going to have a test next week, and you need the grade!"

"Don't worry about it!" He said looking at the sky

"I have to" I said looking at him, I then got closer to him" It's my duty as your boyfriend!"

He smiled at me and nodded" I'll try just for you!"

I sighed happily" Mission accomplished!" I said grinning.

"What mission?" Gill asked coming right behind us.

"Where the heck where you?" I asked at him.

He blushed and looked down" Ohhh, Gill is blushing, something happened!" Kimb said ignoring the dating conversation.

"Well...hum... Mike was there... And ...um...well...the bathroom..." He said without looking at us,

I tried to contain my laugher while telling him to forget it.

"But what mission did you accomplished?" Gill asked sitting next to me trying to change the conversation.

...

English meant group work. I didn't like to work in groups, in fact, I hated it, but since my group was Pete and Gill I didn't really mind.

"So we put this here..." Pete said gluing some picture to the paper.

"Excuse me, may I borrow your pen?" Max asked us.

"Sure, take it" Gill said happily to him.

"Thanks "he said looking right at me with a really strange look.

"Weird" I said to Pete.

Pete just sighed, I squeezed his hand behind the table to give him some strength, he looked at me and smiled.

"How's the work going?" the teacher asked.

"It's going ok!" I said smiling at her.

"Good... You could talk about the new type of romance and the way it touches people" she said reading our work. "You could even do some interviews, film them, and present them to the class. That would make the grade of this work become even better".

She winked at us and walked to another group" Ok, that meant we have to do it!" I said looking at them

Gill was about to say something when Max returned the pen while thanking us and leaving a piece of paper at my side. Pete and Gill didn't notice `cause they were excitedly talking about the interviews.

I opened the paper and read "Hope you're enjoying the time you're spending with him `cause you never know." I was speechless. He was threatening me and, maybe, even Pete.

"Don't you think so, Mike?" Gill asked me

"Huh? What ? Yeah, right!" I said surprised

"You know the last time you answered like that you ended up promising to dance with me!" Pete said smiling

I just nodded. I didn't know what to do. I needed air "Ma'am, may I go to the bathroom?" I asked.

She nodded, and I got up and walked out into the corridor.

...

I looked at the mirror hoping to find an answer. What the hell did that piece of paper mean? I splashed some water on my face, and when I looked at the mirror, again, I saw another face.

"Max!" I said cleaning my face" What a surprise!"

"I know that you just love to have me near!" he said with that look.

"So... I guess you don't want to go to the bathroom..." I said

"Neither do you..." he said not changing his face

"What the hell do you want?" I asked sighing," I got your note, what the hell are you up to?"

"Good, you know how to read, I was afraid you didn't" he said smiling" You stole him from me!"

"I didn't stole anything from anyone," I said calmly

"You know damn well what I'm talking about!" he said uncrossing his arms" Pete was mine until you showed up!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"We dated until he started talking about a guy at this school, that he was funny, that he was cute, that he was friendly and that maybe he was..." he said looking at the ground.

"What, hold on a sec... you and Pete talked after the...well...incident?" I asked surprised

"What? Prince charming didn't tell you? Let me guess he told you that after the "incident" as you call it; he never talked to me right? Well he did talk to me. We started talking and could even have become boyfriends again, but noooo, you had to show up and ruin everything."

"What the hell are you talking about? He never talked to you again, he couldn't." I said trying to convince more myself than him

"I'm just telling you this" he said right in front of me with the look" I'm not going to give up! I am going to have him back!"

After that, he left. I was stunned, what the hell was I going to do NOW???? Thinking about this I looked at my watch and hurried to class.

...

Should I believe Pete or not? I had to believe Pete; I mean, I had to, but why was I having doubts? Why couldn't I just believe Pete and forget Max? Oh, I was so confused... I just wished that Max had stayed right where he came from; suddenly I felt an arm around me

"What's up? Something happen?" Gill asked sitting next to me.

I looked at him and told him everything.

"Now, what do I do?" I asked him.

"Well, I think that you should talk to him. I mean, if you don't talk well... you pretty much ruin everything..." He said as he grabbed his books" Look, talk to him, listen to him and most of all trust him!"

"Since when did you become good at giving advices?" I asked him smiling.

"I had a good teacher!" he said walking away.

Great, now I just had to find Pete...

"What's wrong" I heard Pete ask behind me.

"Pete we need to talk!" I said looking right at him.

"Sure, shoot!" he said smiling. When he saw that I didn't smiled back, he became serious

"It was Max wasn't it?" he asked angrily" I knew that it was too much of a coincidence..."

"Well, he told me some things..." I said while Pete looked at me curiously" Well, he told me that you two continued talking after the incident..."

Pete didn't said anything" What? It's true?" I asked surprised

"Well, we did talk..." he said looking down" But it was after I came here, on the mobile phone... He found out my number, and well, I sort of talked back..."

I couldn't believe this" Well, did you told him that you were dating again?" I asked.

"Of course not, we talked like friends and it was before we started dating... nothing more, I didn't even let him talk about those kinds of things..." Pete said sadly" Look Mike, I just told you that I didn't talk to him cause..:"

"You are a liar" I heard Max say behind Pete" You told me that you loved me, that you just were confused...until he showed up!"

"What?" Pete asked him "You're lying, I never told you that!"

"After you came here you told me that you still loved me, that you just were confused." Max said crying. "You" He said looking at me, starting to smile "I didn't tell you one thing that Pete told me, or should I say a lot of spicy things." he said looking at Pete.

I looked at Pete and he had a face that look like Max was about to drop an atomic bomb.

"Mike, please don't believe him." He said pleading.

"Pete here told me that there was a certain boy that he would love to take to bed, and do some things that...well...lets just say... weren't appropriate for minors." Max said smiling. " Oh... and let me guess...he also told you that he wanted to wait, that he would wait until you're ready? Well, guess what? I did said that and you know what happened?"

"Pete is totally different from you, he isn't like...he..." I said trying to find something to shut up Max.

"He... also told me that if he managed to get you he would do anything to take you to bed and have his way..." Max said like if it was his final weapon.

"Mike, please listen to me..." Pete said

"Is this true?" I asked him, trying not to cry.

He didn't say anything. Taking that as a yes, I just looked at him and walked away.

...

"Mike, aren't you going to eat anything?" Sara asked me.

"I'm not hungry" I said looking blankly at the food in front of me.

"What's wrong?" she asked me.

We were having lunch at the school cafeteria. The rest of the guys decided to go have lunch at some other place. I was so lost that I didn't even know what time it was. I was still trying to swallow the words.

"Mike? Mike?" Sara asked.

"Huh? Sorry...I spaced out for a minute..." I said looking at her.

Suddenly, as if it was an instinct of mine, I looked at the cafeteria door to see Pete entering. " Look Sara, I really have to go, see ya at Math!"

And with that I hurried to leave through the back door... I didn't even looked back.

...

I was trying really hard to focus on what the Math teacher was saying. Really, I was trying to do this hard exercise, but I couldn't do it. My mind was focused on other things; things that were making me really uncomfortable.

"Do the exercise while I go take care of some business. I'll be right back!" Our teacher said.

After he left, everyone started talking to each other. Gill got up and brought his chair next to me. " What happened?" he asked.

I looked down, and closed my eyes

" That bad huh?"

I nodded. " I just... I don't know..." I said sighing.

I looked at Pete, he was in the back of the class, looking out of the window, he seemed so sad, in fact I think that he was crying, God, what had I done?

"Mike, look at me!" Gill said. "What happened?"

"Well, Max told me that he and Pete talked on the phone after the incident, and that...well...I was the cause of their split up! Then Pete told me that he had talked to Max, but that he hadn't said those kinds of things!" I said "And, well, then Max basically said that Pete only wanted me for the sex, and Pete sort of confirmed it!"

Gill though for a while and then looked at me" What's Pete side of the story?"

I looked at him "Well, he confirmed that he only wanted me for the sex! What, do you want more?"

Suddenly, Gill rolled his eyes " You mean you believed Max the weirdo and just because Pete confirmed it you just left him? God, Mike, he probably said that to Max before you had started dating, maybe he changed his mind."

"Right... Like if..." I started to say

"Like if what? Look, I see Pete everyday, and every time he's next to you just talking, he starts smiling. Pete doesn't want just to take you to bed.

I mean, at least I think so, and I have seen a lot of people that only wanted that" Gill said looking at me "Listen to Pete, or you may regret it more than you think."

"Now, return to the exercise. You're in Math class, not recess!" Our teacher said returning.

"Think about it!" Gill said returning to his place.
