Disclaimer: Well, here we go again with the disclaimer stuff. This story is fiction. Any resemblance of it in your life is just coincidence. Also, not much sex stuff is going on in here, so if you're only going to read this because of that, then you might as well go. And of course the undying theme, if you're disgusted by Boys love, or are underage, you might as well go too. (I don't mind about the underage thing, if you want to read this, I can't stop you.:))
--------------------|~*~|-------------------- Unbroken Chapter 2: Who's That Boy?
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry." He apologized while offering his hand for me. Damn. He's seriously gorgeous. Definitely worth the fall I got. God. His hair is so perfect. It's not short, but not too long either. He spiked it up a little. It looks so cute. Those lips. God damn. They look so red and oh so kissable. I'd kiss those lips every day. Wait, I have to stand up. Did he notice me staring at him? I hope not.
"I'm umm..okay" I said, picking up my now broken phone and taking his hand. Damn. His hands are so soft. I'd hold this hand all day. Wait. Do I have to let go first, or does he have to? Wait. I have to let go now. I'm standing too close to him. His smell, oh so intoxicating. And those eyes, oh my god. Deep blue. If I stare too much, I might get lost. I just let go and stand back a little. What was that just now?
"Is that your phone? I'm really sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" he said while reaching to his pockets, to get his wallet I think.
"It's really ok, it's my fault anyways. I was texting my friend and wasn't looking to where I was going." I told him. Did he notice me staring? I hope not.
"No, it's my fault. How much is the phone?" he asked. God and that voice, so yummy!
"No, you don't have to do that. Really, I'm cool." I said while hearing the bell rang. Shit. I have to run.
"Look, don't worry about it, ok? I should thank you. I needed a new one anyways. You should have just told me that my phone is shitty and that I needed a new one, instead of knocking me over." I joked. I really wanted to just cool the air off. It's true, really. I need a new phone. This one I have is a piece of shit.
After my joke, he just laughs and grins at me. God, even his laugh is infectious. I couldn't help it but laugh too.
"Dude, as much as I want to stay here and laugh about you breaking my phone, I have to go to my next class. See you around." By that, I just took off. Damn. I didn't even ask for his name. Well, whatever. It's not like I'll see him again. By the size of this school, I doubt it.
I arrived in the classroom, breathless. Phew, that was close. See? I told you I'm not good when it comes to these things. I just ran for 5 minutes, and I almost lost my breath. I'm lucky that the teacher hasn't arrived yet. I stood at the door for a while to catch my breath, and then made my way through the classroom and sat beside Denise.
"I was calling you. Why weren't you picking up?" she asked, irritated. Oh shit. I don't like this. She thinks I'm ignoring her. And that's the thing that she hates the most, being ignored. I remember this one time, she sent Daniel a message, and Daniel ignored it. Next day, let's just say that he won't ignore a message from her ever again. I reached for my pocket and took out my phone, I handed it over to her.
"What happened?" She asked me. "I'll tell you later" I replied. Well, I'll just have my dad to buy me a new one. Hey, it's not like I'm a spoiled brat or anything. It's just that I don't have any money to spend on a new phone. I wanted to have a job, but my dad won't let me. He says that I have to focus on my studies. I get his reasoning, but sometimes I really want to have a job. I'm really jealous of Denise and Daniel. They've got jobs and they can spend their money on anything. Dad is going to be pissed at me, that's for sure. Thanks, guy who knocked me over. (God, why didn't I ask for his name? For now I'll call him Mr. Knock over). If you weren't so cute, I would be in your ass right now (Don't think like that, perverts). Is it obvious? I can't get him off my mind. There's something about him that fascinates me. I just don't know. Is it those lips? Is it those reddish lips of his? Or is it his smell, that addictive smell that I can't get enough? Urrg. I need to stop thinking about him. I don't want to get attracted to someone who I barely even know. I just have to focus on something else. I looked around the classroom. There's nothing real-. Wait, who's that? I haven't seen him here yesterday. Hmm, have I seen him before? He really looks familiar. Darn, he's cute. His short dark hair spiked up. I like his lips. Kinda wet, ohh, kissable too. His eyes, is it green or something? Not like Mr. Knock over's, but it's enough to make me drool. This is just great. Forget about Mr. Knock over by checking out another guy. God, what's wrong with me? I'm just glad that Denise tapped my shoulders before I burned a hole in that guys face.
"Checking out the cute kid huh?" she said while pinching my cheeks.
"No, I'm not" I replied while blushing.
"You're totally checking him out. Go and sit with him. I bet you would like that" She said, teasing me even more.
"Stop it, Denise!!" said while blushing hard. I looked back at the guy, and he's looking at me. Oh god, did he hear us? I hope not. Good timing though, because the teacher just arrived and we all turned our heads in front.
I just ignored Denise and thought that it will be nice if I just listened to what the teacher was saying. Mr. Lopez talked about all the instruments that's in the classroom, what we'll be doing this semester and such. Blah, Blah, Blah. I'm so bored. Moments later, much to my surprise, the bell rang. Yes, I was saved by the bell (Get It? Alright, I know I'm not that great by jokes. I suck at it). I have chemistry next with Denise and Daniel. Wonderful.
"So, what happened to your phone?" asked Denise. We're on our way to class. Damn I forgot about that.
"Oh, I bumped into someone while I'm on my way to the class, I dropped it and it broke." I answered.
"Oh, that's it? I know there's something more. You're kind of quiet today." Denise said. Damn, she can read me too well.
"The one that I bumped into, he's gorgeous. I can't get him out of my mind. I-" I said while being interrupted.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Daniel asked while kissing Denise on the cheek.
"Nothing much." I quickly replied. I looked at Denise and she nodded. I know Daniel is my bestfriend too. But I think this kind of talk is more appropriate between Denise and me.
We arrived at the classroom. We walked at the back of the classroom and sat there. Ms Taylor is talking to somebody. I can't tell who it was because he has his back on me. When we sat, I got a better look of the person that Ms. Taylor was talking to. It can't be. No way. It's Mr. Knock over. Suddenly the bell rang.
"Class, there's a new student here that I want you to meet. His name is Jonathan Silvestri. He's an exchange student from the US. Will you introduce yourself?" She asked Mr. Knock o- Err, I mean Jonathan. Wow. Jonathan Silvestri. His name fits him so well. STOP! I can't do this. I shook my head and Daniel and Denise just looked at me strangely.
"Hi, everybody. I'm Jonathan, nice to meet you all." He said then smiled. Are you freaking kidding me? He's seriously going to be in my homeroom? Oh my god. That smile is so fucking attractive.
"Jonathan, please take a sit. Class, you're gonna get your books today. I'm just going to talk to the librarian for a second. Don't make a noise please" Ms. Taylor said. Jonathan found a seat next to me. I think he didn't recognize me at first. But boy was I wrong.
"Hey there. It's nice to see you again. I hope I don't knock you over again" he said, almost whispering. The way he said that, i just couldn't help but laugh. "Hey Mr. Knock o- i mean Jonathan. Nice to see you, too." I replied, still laughing. I'm still shocked though. He's going to be in my homeroom. Oh god. I wonder how many classes we have together. "Wow. First day of school and I already have a nickname? That's just great" he said to me.
"Listen, I know I still owe you a phone. But since you don't want me to pay for it, how about I treat you lunch instead?" he added. This guy is too much.
"It's really ok though, you don't have to bother." I replied to him.
"Please, it's the least I could do." He said. Oh my god, I can't believe he's using the puppy dog yes on me. Well, a lunch won't be so bad.
"Fine. Now stop whatever it is you're doing. It's disturbing" I said while smiling at him.
"But it worked." He said and winked at me. Wait. Did he just wink at me? Damn this guy. I just laughed and playfully punched him in the shoulder. He just flips me off. Denise and Daniel were staring at me, but didn't say anything. The teacher came back and asked us to follow her to the library. There we got our books, and then Ms. Taylor said that we're dismissed.
I went to my locker to put my books in there. I was hoping that I would see Jonathan there, but I didn't. Instead I found Denise and Daniel heading for the cafeteria.
"Hey lovely couple, heading for the cafeteria?" I asked.
"Yeah. Where's your boyfriend, Ade?? Daniel asked.
"What boyfriend? Oh, Jonathan! He's not my boyfriend. He's the one I bumped into today on the way to music class." I said.
"Oh. The gorgeous one and the one you can't get your mind off to?" Daniel said.
"YOU TOLD HIM?" I screamed and looked at Denise.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. I can't keep a secret from him." she said. Well, as much as I want to be pissed at Denise, what's done is done. Moral lesson: don't tell anything to Denise.
"It's ok. But remind me not to share a secret with you ever again, Ok? So what should we-" I was interrupted by someone.
"Adrian! There you are." Jonathan said. I've been looking for you. I'm supposed to treat you at lunch today, remember?"
"Yeah, I thought you forgot. Oh. I forgot to introduce you. Well, this is Denise and Daniel. Guys, Jonathan." I said to them.
"Nice to meet you guys. Can I sit with you today?" Jonathan asked.
"Sure" Denise said. While we're walking, Daniel whispered something to me. "Treating you lunch already? You just me him today, Ade. You plan on giving up third base today too?" that got him a punch in the shoulder. When we arrived at the cafeteria, they ordered the food and I sat on our table. I told Jonathan what I wanted to eat so he can buy it. When they arrived, we just talked about things. I've learned some things about Jonathan too. He's from Los Angeles, and is half Norwegian. He said that he wanted to learn about Norway, that's why he's here. He plays football, and wanted to apply for our school's team. I told you he was a jock. After lunch we parted our ways. I thanked Jonathan for the meal. Daniel and I have English. And apparently Denise and Jonathan have the same class today. Lucky bitch. He's really dreamy though. I can't stop thinking about him. His eyes, those lips... Damn it, Adrian, Here you go again, getting attracted with the STRAIGHT guy. God I'm seriously hopeless.
Nothing happened in the English class. Again, I was so bored. Mr. Orlando seems to like games. We just played the whole period. I could concentrate though cause of a certain thing in mind. Well, more like a person. I can't be like this. I just can't.
Last subject for today is Norwegian History. Ms. Hitalia is a funny teacher. Jonathan is in this class too. I love this class already. I could spend the day listening to the class, or spend it staring at Jonathan. ADRIAN! Stop with this thought. It's not gonna happen. God. I'm so worked up with this.
After school I hang out with Denise and Daniel at the mall. Denise wants to buy some new clothes and Daniel is looking for a new pair of football shoes. The only reason I'm here is that this is better than staying home. I'm already bored; I don't want to be bored to death. I was with Denise the whole time though, since I knew nothing about the shoes that Daniel is buying. I should have come with Daniel. Denise is even worse. I had to hold all the clothes that she's going to try on. And after she bought them, I had to carry it for her.
"I'm not your slave, you know" I said to Denise, jokingly.
"Just shut up and hold it for me, will ya? I'm a girl, and you should be a gentleman." she replied.
"You're a girl? Since when?" I jokingly asked her. That got me a punch on the shoulder.
"Watch your mouth, mister" she told me.
"Whatever." I replied.
While we're heading for the food court, Denise saw something and mentioned for me to come over to her. She found a poster that says that there was going to be a singing contest next month in here. She wants to join. Did I tell you that Denise is a great singer?
"Adrian, I want to join this contest. But I don't want to be there alone, will you join me? Please?" she asked.
"ME? why ME? ask Daniel. I can't sing"? I replied. There's no way I'm singing in front of people.
"Please? You can just play the guitar for me. You're pretty good at playing the guitar. And Daniel? He'll just say no. So please?" she's giving me that puppy dog face. Jonathan's is much cuter, but I just can't say no to those kind of things. How can I say no to that?
"Fine, but I'll just play the guitar, ok? No duets and no funny business." I told her.
"Thanks. You're the best". She said before hugging me. After that, she called the number that was written on the poster and entered us.
We arrived at the food court with Daniel waiting for us. We ordered our food and sat there for an hour. They just can't stop teasing me about Jonathan. Saying things like, "Oh Adrian, you found your soul mate already", and "Adrian already found a guy who swept him off his feet". I just took my headphones on and ate my food. I can't let them through me. Oh how I wish all they're saying are true. That Jonathan is gay and he came here to sweep me off my feet. But let's get back to reality here. Jonathan is straight as an arrow. And we're not even friends yet. He just treated me to lunch because he felt bad about my phone. I know that all they're saying won't ever happen, but there's this part of me who has hope and believes that it will happen. They finally gave up teasing me and after finishing my meal, I told them that I have to go home. So I left them there and went home first. They asked if they did something wrong, but I just told them that it's nothing, and I'm just really tired. I think they believed me and just said that we'll see each other tomorrow. Before I left, Denise said thanks again for the concert thing. I told her it was nothing and that I'll see them tomorrow. By that I took off with this heavy feeling on my chest.
I was at home at 8:00 and my dad was pissed at me for not taking his calls. I apologized and told him about my phone and he said that he will buy me a new one tomorrow. I ate dinner with Dad and Cindy. After that I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Before I went to bed I checked my Facebook since I haven't checked it in a while. I have a new friend request. It was Jonathan. I accepted it. He had a cute profile picture. He was smiling wide in there. He seems so happy. I was so happy, I don't know why. I know I'm not supposed to fall for straight guys. But what can I do. I always do that. It can't be helped. I slept with a smile plastered on my face.
These past few days have been nothing but boring. But kind of exciting as well. Wednesday came and well, I haven't seen Jonathan at all. Isn't it a good thing though? If I'm not seeing him, then this crush I have on him will fade away pretty quickly. But why do I feel so sad? God, I am seriously hopeless. Fine, I'll admit it, ok. I miss him. He didn't come to school for one day, geez. And you just met the guy YESTERDAY, Adrian. Get a hold of yourself. We were in Norwegian Class and Denise seemed to notice about Jonathan's absence. So she started teasing me about it. Saying things like "Oh Adrian broke up with his boyfriend already". I just flipped her off. I didn't have lunch today. Why am I even being depressed about this? It's not like Jonathan and I are going out. We're not even friends to begin with. Wait, did I just say "Jonathan and I are going out"? hmm. Sounds really nice. Never gonna happen though. I went home early today. Being depressed is not good for me. I'm being paranoid about this. What if something bad happened to him? Like, he was hit by a car, or was kidnapped by some perverted guys. See what I mean? He just skipped ONE day. he'll be back tomorrow, right? RIGHT? Damn, I have it bad. Really, really bad. Before I fell asleep though, my dad came into my room and gave me my new phone. He asked me to be real careful with it. I said my thanks and just went to sleep.
Thursday, is a whole new story. Jonathan came today. And he explained to me at lunch that he couldn't go to school because he's unpacking. See? I've worried about nothing. I almost lost control of myself though. The moment I saw him walking at the corridor, I kind of ran and almost hugged him. Good thing that I controlled myself on time and shake his hand. Shit. I've got to be careful. After I saw him, my mood kinda turned a 360 from yesterday. I was so happy. I couldn't hide it. Denise and Daniel made these faces at lunch today. Jonathan told me this joke and I just couldn't help but laugh. We shared the joke to them, and well, the four of us just laugh so hard. We didn't even notice that the all of the people at the canteen is staring at us, but who cares about them? I went over at Denise's today. She tried to invite Jonathan too, but he declined, saying that he has to finish unpacking today. It's just Denise and me today, since Daniel has practice. Well, we really didn't do much. We just locked ourselves in Denise's room and had a marathon of Pretty Little Liars. At first I didn't like it, but Denise force me into it, and now I'm addicted. I went home at 10:00 in the evening. Nobody's home though. Wait, Macky is here. Sleeping. You could hear the snoring from the door. xD Dad and Cindy will be home at 11 or so. I just went to my bed and flopped myself into it. I didn't even know when I fell asleep. I just did.
Then Friday came. We had music class first period. Mr. Lopez said that we can get to do whatever we want today. Yay! I took a guitar and sat beside Denise, she was talking to somebody though. Wait, isn't he the one that I was checking out last Tuesday. HOLD UP. Something isn't right in here. Denise is looking at me with those devilish eyes of hers. Oh Oh, I'm in trouble.
"Hey Denise" I said, greeting her.
"Hi, Adrian. Meet my friend, Henry." she said. She is so evil. I'm going to kill her.
"Hi, Henry." I smiled while shaking his hand. God his hand is so soft too.
"Hello, Adrian. What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing much." I said while sitting down beside Denise.
"Have I seen you somewhere before? You seem familiar." Henry asked me.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing." I replied.
"Wait, where were you this summer?" he asked me.
"Italy." I quickly replied. Wait. I remember it now. I saw Henry there.
"I knew it. I saw you there. With your family. We were staying on the same hotel." He told me.
"I just remembered it, this is crazy, huh?" I asked him.
"Yeah, what a coincidence." He replied to me. We just continued talking and filled Denise with what was going on. She seems to be shocked too. Let me tell you something, this guy is gorgeous. His voice is so hunky. And I just confirmed something, his eyes really is green. Grrr. He's probably straight too. Oh well. After the class, I talked to Denise about Henry.
"What did you do?" I asked her.
"What do you mean?? She asked me with her face faking this I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about look.
"You know what you did. Don't pretend like you don't know." I said to her.
"Fine, I can't help it. He's really nice and I can feel that he's, you know, gay." She told me.
"No, he's not. And how can you even presume that he is?" I asked her.
"I just do. And don't you have this "gaydar" thingy. Can't you feel it?? she asked, getting irritated by me.
"I can't feel it because he is not gay!" I insisted.
"Whatever, Adrian" she said. She went to the cafeteria to buy something and said to me that I can go to the assembly room first. The principal is having this "welcome to our school" speech. After that though, we can go home. So I ain't complaining.
I can't get off my mind what Denise said to me. What if Henry IS gay? This is my chance to have a boyfriend and be happy like Daniel and Denise. But what if I assumed wrong and he hate me for being gay. I really want to get to know him better, he's really cool.
What? Don't look at me like that. I really wanted to know him. And well, I just couldn't help it. He's cute. Oh god. It's been only a week, and I have two guys that I have a crush on. And both of them are STRAIGHT. That I'm sure. I wish I could just turn this off. This feelings I have. For once, I wanna look at a guy and not imagine about things that I wasn't supposed to think about in the first place. But I just can't help it. They're so hot, can you blame me?
Well, I made my way to the assembly room. The principal just welcomed us and talk about things. I didn't really pay attention. After that we were free from school. Finally! I went home early because Denise and Daniel had 'other plans'. Yeah, plans including: Making out in the car, and so much more things that I don't wanna think about.
I just played Playstation with Macky for the rest of the day. We had dinner together today. Me, Dad, Cindy and Macky. It's really rare that we have dinner together. Dad has work, and so does Cindy. And Macky have his own friends too. I'm just glad that we still have times like this. After dinner I just went to my room and lied on my bed. I checked Facebook and saw that Henry added me. His profile picture is HOT. It's a picture of him just getting out of the pool. Wow. He's a swimmer. And that body of his, yummy. He really is nice though. I accepted the request. I don't know why, but I feel really exhausted and just went to sleep.
Saturday morning I woke up with the ring of my phone. Wait, this can't be my alarm. I don't have school today. I checked the time and it was 10:35 am. I reached for my phone and looked for the caller ID. My phone didn't recognize the number. I pressed answer.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Umm.. hi." The voice said. Wait, I recognize this voice. How did he know my number?
To be continued...
