Hey guys this is my third installment and I'm very proud of this one. You guys are going to meet a couple of new people some of which I will make stories of later on.
As for the legal stuff we all know the drill.
Walking by chapter 3
Matt
I said goodbye and entered the car. I gave Jed the sad puppy dog eye routine and immediately she offered Andy a ride. He said no but I have a feeling it was for another reason. She pulled out of the driveway and we drove off.
"He is so beautiful."
" Yeah he is, but you sir are very obvious."
" Shut up I'm day dreaming."
"Look Matt, Next time you see him don't throw yourself at his feet."
" I think I'm in love."
" You don't know the kid."
"Yeah I do he told me his name and address."
Jed gave me a look of disgust and we where quiet the rest of the way to school.
Andy
I walked all the way back to my house with a slight smile on my face. I was almost floating from my encounter with Matt. I didn't even notice what time it was until I opened the door to my house and my mom gave me a god-awful look.
"Andy have you looked at the time." she said
I already knew what was coming next.
"Are you skipping."
" No mom I missed the bus."
My mom was a nice lady until you got her mad, she always had a way to let you know too. She is kind of tall she is 5'11" and very good looking for a forty-year-old. When my dad left us last year she decided that she doesn't need a man to survive and she moved us here to Westport. She started working for an accounting firm and now I hardly see her. I always find twenty bucks on the kitchen table, which is useless considering the fact that I work at the local supermarket. I think it's her way of letting me know she cares.
"Andy there is something different about you."
" No there isn't ma."
"Andy when was the last time we spent time together?"
"I don't remember."
"Then today you and I are skipping."
I looked at her with my jaw open she actually wants to spend time with me. Dear god! Then the phone rang and I picked up it was my mom's job so I handed her the phone.
"Marilyn we need you to come in immediately," said the guy on the phone.
I rolled my eyes and started walking to my room when I heard my mom say no and my jaw dropped again.
" No Jack today I cant."
Marilyn
I cant back out on Andy this time. I know he misses me and there are a few things we need to talk about. I know Andy is gay I've known since his dad left us last year when he found a gay book under his bed. I don't have the heart to tell him that, but I'll have too eventually. He looks very happy today. I wonder if he met someone.
Matt
When we got to school there was the same crowd that is usually outside. We wear uniforms to school but that crowd always managed to make theirs look different. We said hi to a couple of them and proceeded into the lobby of the school. West Exeter academy was a very good-looking school. Decorated in a contemporary meets alice in wonderland style.It was built a year before I started high school. It was white and had what we call an anti rich kid pride about it. The school operated on the philosophy that we learn better in an open environment. It was kind of a weird college with a bunch of weird and smart teenagers going to it. I think it's funny cause most kids that go here are poor and come here on scholarships handed out by the school. And the rich kids that couldn't get into here go to Westport high. My schools principal was very paranoid and always had somebody on hand to make sure everything was in tiptop shape. As good as this all sounds I hated the school. The security officer checked our bags and we headed for homeroom. That's where our crowd hangs. We went by the name the misfits; we were always in trouble at school. We walked over to our usual desks and sat down. When Veronica and Craig walked in and sat near us. Veronica was very smart and beautiful she had long blond curly hair that curled at the ends. She had the build to be a model except she was against anything beautiful. Craig was her brother he was even smarter than she was and a year younger, but since he was smarter they skipped him a grade. He had the same curly hair and it was long too about my hair length. He was tall and had a very muscular physic. My other friend Jorge walked in with his usual bad mood.
"Guys I hate thiese world." Said Jorge (Jorge has an accent I'll explain later on)
"Why?' we all said in unison. It was kind of a misfit custom to ask Jorge why every morning.
"Because today I saw the same kids on the same lawn with the same close (clothes) and with the same attitude towards art."
Jorge was like an art feen and his whole life revolved around it. His parents moved here from Spain about five years ago along with him. I remember the first day we met him he was wearing tie-dye bell-bottoms his mom made and talked with a thick Spanish accent. Were still laughing at that one. He is as tall as me and has brown spiky hair and what I think are brown eyes but we never know cause he always wears funky eye contacts. Today he was wearing the uniform but with a weird red cap that said "destroy conformity revive individuality". He still has the accent but I think that's what makes Jorge him. I thought he was gay for a while but he started dating veronica. The bell rang and we left for morning reflection time. this is what the school called first period. I headed into my first class with Jorge. it was a drag because I had art and all Jorge did was complain at everything the teacher said.
" I wonder what the bish has to say about this." He said in a cocky manner. - " You mean what the bitch has to say about this?"
" Yeah whatever ma-t she is a bish nonetheless. But look at thiese."
Jorge pulled out a really good painting he did of veronica she was standing looking out the window and he made it look like she was glowing. Then the teacher came into the classroom and looked at his painting and as usual she found the mistake in it.
"Jorge one hand is bigger than the other," She said.
Jorge looked at her in disbelief. Then he said, "if you weren't fooking blind you would be able to tell that her hand is smaller because it is further you stooped bish." Jorge picked up the painting and left the room. Two seconds later we heard the sound of a locker getting punched in. I spent the rest of the period day-dreaming about Andy and his deep blue eyes.
Andy
We left my house got in the car and pulled out of the driveway. I could tell my mom wanted to say some thing to me. I was getting anxious and I just wanted to get her to say something.
"So ma what are we doing?" I said.
She slammed hard on the breaks and looked at me she was almost crying.
"Andy have I been a good mother to you?' she said. "I need you to be honest with me. Have I been a good mother."
All I can say was that I was shocked and overwhelmed. I looked at her and gave her a hug.
"Mom I love you and I couldn't ask for a better mother. I know you hadn't been there lately but I totally understand."
Mom gave me a look that only a mother can give to her kids.
"Oh Andy I love you so much and I don't know what I'd do without you."
Mom started the car again and we headed downtown.
"Andy I wanted to talk to you about something else but we can do it while eating breakfast. Do you feel like Macdonald's or Denny's."
I said I'd rather have Denny's so she pulled up down the road to the Denny's parking lot. We got out of the car and she gave me a huge embarrassing hug and we went inside. The waiter was this very cute black guy and he sat us at a kind of secluded part of the restaurant. My mom said" it's alright we can talk clearly here." We sat down and ordered cokes. And when the waiter left she gave me a look.
"Honey I'm going to come out and say this blunt and openly. Honey I know that you are gay. A I want you to know that I'm ok with you being gay and I still love you as my son."
My jaw dropped open again like it regularly did.
"I figured that today was the best time to tell you because to day was the only day I have seen you happy since we moved here. So Andy want to tell me about him?"
I was still looking at her with my mouth open. I snapped out of it
" Ah ok mom where do I start he is beautiful."
After that I just let my mouth flow and I told her everything. I told her about how his eye sparkle when he talks and how his awesome hair shines in the sun and I even told her how he bumped into me and passed out. We talked like old girlfriends catching up. By the time we were done with our talking it was already noon. And she decided that we should go shopping downtown. I always liked the downtown in Westport. That was helped by the fact that the ice cream shop was there. She said she needed a new jacket and we went into a small store for woman. I got bored so I headed outside and bumped in to him again or what I thought was him. She looked up and gave me the look you give somebody when you want to kill them then she realized that it was me.
Jed
I got bored at school and decided to skip my afternoon classes not that they noticed they had this weird attendance they only took once a week. So I headed downtown to the ice cream shop I had to talk to gramps about Matt's birthday coming up. It was a week away. He hated his birthdays I would too if my parents died on my birthday. So after that happened Matt avoided his birthdays. Last year he disappeared for two days and he wouldn't let anybody know where he was. We found him at his parents old apartment crying in a corner I knew from that day that I would try to make his life better by roughing him up for the real world and making him smile once in a while. I'm gonna invite that kid he bumped in to this morning. Mat has gone totally psycho over that guy and I see why. I parked my car about a block from the ice cream store. I got out and started walking when I bumped into Andy. At first I thought it was some jerk and then I realized it was him. I looked at him and started to laugh.
Andy
She started laughing and I couldn't help but laugh too. How many people can bump into me in one day? She was about Matt's height and they looked almost identical except she had blue eyes. She had the same jet-black hair Matt has and the same tired looked in her eyes. She was almost him, I thought briefly. "You are like a people magnet." She said. I smiled politely and said, " yeah I think I am."
" Hey I want to ask you something."
"What?" I said.
" Why were you near Matt's house this morning when Westport a high is in the opposite direction?"
My jaw dropped open once again and I looked at her thinking to myself did she know about me where did she find out? She gave me a look and asked " do you like Matt?" I did all that I could do and nodded at her.
Jed
He seemed nervous and I asked hem what was he doing near Matt's house this morning. And his jaw dropped open he looked extremely cute. Right then and there I knew so I asked him if he liked Matt (you know to confirm it). He nodded at me and I smiled.
"That's cool," I said
"Hey what are you doing out of school and where is your brother?" he said to me smiling with bright beautiful blue eyes. I said
"He's not my brother." He gave me a look of confusion.
"What are you talking about?" He said, "you look exactly alike."
"I know, but that's it were not even related as cousins. We just look a lot alike."
Andy just smiled at me more of embarrassment I figured. There was an awkward silence and then I asked him if he wanted to go eat ice cream with me you know so I can ask him if he wants to go to Matt's birthday. He told me he was here with his mom so I said.
"Hey that's ok, but what are you doing later? I could pick you up and tell you all about Matt and I have something else to ask you." He gave me his address and I headed for the ice cream shop. The ice-cream shop was a good-looking place. It kinda looked corporate considering that it wasn't. It had a huge ice cream cone on the top of it. It was called Grampas ice cream, which it said in a giant neon sign. I walked into the light green inside of the store to the counter. Gramps was helping somebody with his or her ice cream. And he waived hi to me. I sat down at the edge of the store and gramps came over shortly and sat down too. Gramps was only forty-five tall and he still didn't have Grey hair. We all called him grandpa because of the sign out of the store. You know the bright neon one. He had the same black hair Matt and me have but his was shorter. Let me explain him being only forty-five. He had Matt's father when he was fifteen and Matt's father had him when he was fifteen. He is very happy that Matt's gay for this same reason.
"So Jed about Matt's birthday. I don't want him to disappear again." He said
' I have a feeling he won't."
Matt
After art I headed outside too see if Jorge was all right. He was outside on the paint wall where all the artists hanged out at. The paint wall was a wall for everybody to paint on it was cleaned every weekend and it always attracted a crowd. There was my crowd all except Jed. I wonder where she was. I walked over and saw that Jorge was drawing an ugly picture of the art teacher. Veronica said hi and Craig came over to me.
" Hey man can I talk to you?" He asked.
Craig was one of the popular people in the school off course we where too, but I hated that and so did Jorge and veronica.
" Yeah off course." I said and we walked over to one of the giant board game sets the school had outside. Like I said it was a weird school.
"Hey man I need to ask you a question." He said.
" I heard you met somebody this morning and I was wondering if you were going to get together?"
Craig was gay like me but I am openly gay and he isn't. He is afraid of what his parents might think and that he would lose his friends. He told me last summer at the beach. We went to the beach with our parents for the 4th of July and we decided to take a walk on the boardwalk. I started to look at all the hot guys outside and was getting horny he just turned around and planted one on me. I pushed him away and told him I could never like him that way. I guess he's always had a crush on me.
Hey guys this is it for now. You can tell it is longer and better written than the first 2. Please email me at gaddamaj@aol.com. I am developing a separate story for Craig and I want it to be as good as this one email your suggestions.
