Chapter 8 (Taj)
It’s now Monday and the weekend is over. The morning carried out like most mornings. Even though Yukine has already seen me without makeup I still feel uncomfortable with him seeing me without makeup. He still doesn’t get up even though his alarm goes off but he gets up more easily now that I’ve been waking him up.
“So ummm are you doing anything this afternoon?” Yukine asked me as we walked down the hallway.
“Nah I think I’m just gonna be lazy today, why?”
“Nothing just wondering,”
“Oh, ok,”
“Anyways do you maybe wanna meet up at lunch my friends are gonna be ditching me at lunch because Henry and Laurie are going on a lunch date on the field and Jason is gonna hang with his other friends,”
“Henry and Laurie are dating?!”
“Yeah they told me yesterday one of the reasons we met up yesterday, I don’t think it’s a major problem telling you because you’re gay,”
“Oh that’s cool, it was actually kinda expected!”
“I know right!”
“And yeah sure, my friends get boring sometimes and I think Jackson is sick today,”
“Cool I’ll text you where to meet up!”
“Ok,”
I walked away from him and grabbed some cereal and headed over to my friends. Laurie and Henry were sitting next to each other and Jason looked so lonely because he was practically third wheeling them. Henry and Laurie are really cute together though!
“Oh my god Taj you’re my saviour! These two keep acting so cute and it’s making me feel so lonely!”
“Don’t you have a girlfriend?”
“Laurie you know Brisbane State has different bell times!”
“At least you have someone. I’m still single as fuck over here!”
“True, but still! These two are two cute together!”
“That’s something we can both agree on!”
“By the way Taj, how’s you and Yukine going?” Harry said while he had a massive smirk on his face.
“What do you mean?!” I said all flustered, my face was probably all red.
“Oh come on man, we all know you have a crush on him!”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“Totally! Come on just admit you like him!”
“I mean he is hot, and really nice, he’s also really caring… Shit I do like him,”I groaned and crossed my arms on the table and shoved my face into my arms.
“Well is he, you know, not straight?”
“Yeah, he’s gay,”
“Well at least you have a chance right?”
“Yeah but I’m still not sure. A-and what if he’s like Joshua!”
“What no! He’s way too nice to be like that asshole!”
“Still, I’ll just see how things go with him,”
“Ok change of topic! Jason when are we gonna be able to meet Ashley again!”
“Oh yeah Ashley! You’ve never let me meet her, and we’ve been besties since forever!”
Classes were really boring because I had double English first up, I would’ve fallen asleep if Laurie didn’t keep talking. He kept on talking about what he was planning for his lunch date with Harry. It was nice knowing he has someone other than me and Jason to be with him, Lawrence has never really had that many friends normally, only one or two he ever really talked to and trusted.
During break I sat with the guys and we just talked about the usual. For the next two periods I had science and then math. During math I was so excited because I was gonna be hanging out with Yukine for lunch. Yukine is probably one of the only guys I really feel comfortable talking to with things, I hope he feels the same way with things. I looked up at the clock and it was 12:58pm and the bell for lunch was gonna go in about three minutes. I packed up my books and other things and waited for the bell to go.
RING RING!
The bell for lunch had rang and everyone started to storm out of the classroom, I was probably one of the last people to get out of class.I felt my phone vibrate as I went down the halls and I pulled it out of my front pocket. It was from Yukine.
‘Hey where do you wanna meet’
‘Let’s meet up at the cafeteria to get some food I’ll meet you on the door near the stairwell’
‘Ok meet you there’
I walked down the hallway and headed down to the cafeteria. When I got there I didn’t see Yukine at the meeting spot so I decided to get a sandwich or something and maybe a bottle of water, then go to the meeting place.
I finished getting food and was carrying a lunch bag in my right hand and a water bottle in my other hand. I waited for Yukine. A minute or so later I saw Yukine approach me, he had a tray of food with him.
“Hey!”
“Hey, I hope you weren’t waiting for to long, Mr. Truman kept my class in for a while,”
“It’s fine,”
“So where do you wanna sit?”
“Let’s sit in the stairwell no one ever sits there,”
“Ok,”
We headed over to the stairwell and sat down on the stairs.
“So What did you just have?”
“I had math, I’m guessing you just had English?”
“Yeah, Mr.Truman is so boring, he’s a nice guy, it’s just he makes me wanna fall asleep!”
“I know right!”
We talked for a while and it was really fun. We talked about how crappy the teachers here were
What we thought of how stupid people were. It was really fun. We had very opposite personalities but it seemed we could relate to lots of things. We chatted for the rest of lunch and before I knew it the bell for 5th period had already rang. We headed over to the garbage bin next to the stairwell and chucked the rubbish away. We then headed over to the cafeteria so Yukine could return his lunch tray. We then went to our classes separately because our classes were on the opposite ends of the school.
During 5th period I started wondering why Yukine asked if I was free this afternoon. What was he gonna do? Oh my god was he gonna ask me out?! What no of course not he wouldn’t! Oh my god I’m thinking this over way too much! He probably just wanted to play some video games or something.
