-Jay-:
Gear and I are already waiting out our gang's new designated table in the middle of campus, when Clover and Fiat finally show up. Clover lights up as soon as she sees my boyfriend.
She runs over and hugs him. "I feel like I haven't seen you in forever."
"That's cause it has been forever." He smiles and his dimples pucker.
"Ugh, what's with the pretty guys with adorable dimples trend in this group, your starting to make a girl feel lacking."
She takes a seat across us and Fiat follows. His face is as sullen as ever. Gear looks at me like he knows what I'm thinking. Well, I don't care about the sulky asshole anymore and now I'm wondering how many times I told you to only show your dimples to me. He rolls his eyes at me, and I'm instantly stunned. Is this little elf person really reading my mind?
Hey! Don't read my mind, you elf person. Steel walks up and my ridiculous thought fades away.
"Wow, almost everyone showed up. Only Art and his boyfriend are missing." Steel grins.
"Art doesn't have a boyfriend," Fiat says curtly.
Everyone's eyebrows raise and we all look at him.
"Awkward," I mumble, and Gear elbows me.
"That wasn't aggressive at all, Fiat buddy stop with the protein bars." He rubs at his shoulders. "You're tense, calm down."
Fiat swats his hands away and I try not to look at Clover.
Gear leans both his elbows on the table and grabs hold of Clover's hand distracting her. "Do you think the Photography club needs models?"
Clover looks confused. "Why are you asking me?"
"Well, you're so pretty, I assumed you would do it cause Arts is in charge over there now."
Clover blushes, my boyfriend effectively flatters and distracts her from the garbage fire sitting right next to her.
"I was surprised when I heard you quit the cheerleaders, but I'm glad we can go there together. I wouldn't even mind adding some pictures of both of us to my portfolio."
It's starting to be spooky how good he is at this, Clover seems to be falling into a trance.
Clover reaches into her bag and pulls out a piece of paper and slides it across the table in front of Gear. He looks it over.
"If you go with me, I'll go with you." She looks at Gear pleadingly, and I start to get nosy.
"Really the school play? You want to act?" He asks her directly.
"I don't know, I was thinking about it."
Gear actually looks excited. "No that is so exciting, you definitely should. I will take that deal."
Clover squeals, "You are literally the best! I wanted someone to go with me so bad but didn't know who to ask."
"Dahh, me always me."
Clover looks so happy, it kind of fills me with pride. Why is my boyfriend so awesome? I rub his back with my hand, he looks back at me and winks. Man, I really fucking love you.
"I know." He mouths only to me and my eyes go wide. What the fuck?!
-Gear-
No, I cannot read his mind. Yes, I want him to think I do. I smile to myself at the thought. Just in case he got any funny ideas.
Do I trust him? Of course.
I wouldn't have been with him since I was fourteen if I didn't. I didn't even know myself back then, but he saw me and knew me. I feel like I couldn't have grown up without him, not into the person I am now.
Things I don't tell Jay.
-Sometimes its hard for me to look at him
The reason being, all I can see in his eyes are the things he wants to do to me. The things I love him to do to me, but I would never admit that to his face.
-When I don't see him all day it's hard for me to eat. I don't understand this one myself.
-He makes me laugh. Sometimes even when I'm alone. I'll think about something he did or said and laugh by myself.
-There never was or will be anyone but him. He is mine and I am his.
-I would kill for him, that's a spooky thought. Depending on the circumstances I can imagine myself enjoying it. Lets not unpack that one and move along.
-He taught me soulmates are real, and that you will know it the instant you meet.
-I like fantasizing about our sex life at the most random moments.
I'm in the auditorium with Clover, she shoves me with her elbow. "Are you ok?"
I'm quickly back in the here and now. "Yes, why do you ask?"
Clover looks worried. "You were scowling really hard. I thought you would get a nosebleed."
That's another thing Jay doesn't know.
-Sometimes I fantasize so hard about him, his body, his lips, and eyes, hands, and other body parts doing things to my body parts, that people will stop and ask me if I'm alright. Even strangers sometimes.
I blink and smile at her. "I'm fine."
A tall senior walks up to us. "Are you two freshman?"
Clover and I both nod.
"We are really at the beginning stages, we are trying to see how many people we can round up, who are committed. To be honest all we have is a script."
"What is the script about?" Clover asks
"Well, it's a boy love. It's about a Prince who falls in love with his teacher while he is engaged to a Princess."
I feel my eyes widen I try to relax me face and look at Clover. She is blinking, a lot.
"Go on." She says
My eyes dart at her, Why?
"Well the three were childhood friends who grew up together, the Princess feels betrayed and hatches a plan to kill their teacher under the guise of protecting the kingdom."
My mouth goes dry.
"Interesting, Interesting. Please go on, tell me about the princess."
I want to disappear into the wall behind me. CLOVER STOP ASKING QUESTIONS! I scream inside my mind.
The senior smiles. "Why are you interested in the part? Just by looking at you, physically you would be perfect for the role. We won't be auditioning for another few weeks though."
He reaches into his bag and retrieves a script and hands it to Clover.
"Here's a script, go ahead and read through it and prepare a monologue. If everything goes according to plan, we should be announcing the official day for auditions, so keep an eye at the student events on Facebook."
Clover has a look on her face that I can only describe as interesting. She nods slowly, and thanks the senior, spins on her heels and nearly runs out of the exit.
I wonder if she will still be in the mood to go see about my thing.
