Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 2: Welcome to the Circle Narrator (ME!!!): The start of the drama begins, can they handle it? Lies and secrets can never hold, but the truth can always kill. Copyright 2005 (Logan and Austin were at home in Austin's room) At eleven years old, Logan and Austin didn't really know much. They thought that kissing anyone that you liked, was okay. So they continued to "like" each other. They spend their last two summers kissing and playing with each other like normal boys would. Still, they didn't know the true meaning of it. They were just kids. "So what do you wanna do now Austin," Logan asked, kissing him again on the lips. It was completely innocent, harmless. Austin unwrapped himself from Logan, his blonde hair messy from the tickle fight earlier that day. He kissed Logan on the lips to return the favor. Logan jumped off the bed and grabbed the monopoly game that was very popular in their days. He took out all the stuff and set it on the hardwood floor that was special made. Austin's parents wanted the best for him. They got him everything. From the Toy Story wallpapers to all the board games they could find in Toys `R Us. They basically spoiled the kid. That's why Logan came over to Austin's house all the time. He always had new stuff to play with it. Not that Logan's poor. Both of their parents were rich people and lived in nice neighborhoods. Also, their parents came over to the Campbell's a lot, which made more sense because the Campbells always had cocktail, formal dinners going on. You know, the riches. Logan hung out in Austin's room half the time or was home with the babysitter, which was boring. They played the board games, cards, internet gaming sites, played on Austin's luxury backyard playground made just for him, or watched the latest cartoon that came out on television. That was pretty matter all they did. It got boring so they found a new hobby from summer camp. Kissing. They did all the time now. They would look on the internet for types of ways to kiss, like the spaghetti kiss from The Lady and the Tramp that they always loved watching. The maid bought up the spaghetti for the boys and left it for them to eat, so they always practiced it. They found that this hobby of theirs is interesting and fun, so they kept doing it until "the thing" happened. "Let's play," Logan said, finished with setting the monopoly game up. Austin jumped down from the bed to the ground, landing at his spot for the game. "Okay roll the dice," Logan said, having a curious look on his face. "Kay," Austin replied, taking the dice and rolling it. It landed on a three and one, making it four. Austin moved his boot icon four spaces. "Okay, it's your turn Logan," Austin said giving Logan the dice. Logan took the dice and shook it, thinking of what to buy and how to beat Austin. He was such a dork but that's why Austin was his friend. It made he feel balanced. Right before Logan threw the dice down to the board, Austin stopped Logan's hand and grabbed the back of his head and kissed him, tonguing. Something that Logan never experience or felt. Sure tasted different though. When Austin let go, Logan made a funny face, like he was surprised at what Austin did. He was never that aggregative. "What?" Austin asked Logan, still holding the back of his head. "Why'd you do that? We never do that," Logan said, with another of his curious looks on his face. Austin laughed, "I saw it in a movie that my mom and dad were watching and the guy grabs the girl and does this..." Austin explained before kissing Logan again. This time they held this kiss down and kept it longer. It was more meaningful now. Not just a normal kiss on the lips thing. They cared for each other, sparks started to ignite. Butterflies formed in the stomach, this kiss sealed it. As Austin and Logan's tongue mingled, the bedroom door opened. Austin immediately turned to see who had opened it. There they were. Their parents. Logan's mother and father stood in gasps and disgust. Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Campbell looked at each other angrily. Mrs. Campbell walked away with Mr. Campbell walking behind. Logan's parents slowly came and took Logan away from Austin, shutting the door behind him. Austin sat there, staring at the monopoly set blankly and then cried. He cried. Logan jumped up crying, tears dripping down his face. He didn't know why. He's been having dreams lately. Vivid ones that include Austin in them, but they weren't real. At least, Logan couldn't remember that there ever was a time that they were ever friends. They never even sat together in gym class, let alone Austin's bedroom. Yet he was here waking up crying at 7 am in the morning, how classic. Logan got up and went to the bathroom. "They're not real," Logan told himself as he stared into the mirror. "You were never friends with Austin or knew his parents. You're nothing to him. He's just a crush that you're fantasizing in your dreams about very sadly in a story kind of way." Logan threw water on his face, the hot water woke him up, making him fully aware of things now. "That's all. You're just fantasizing about him. Kissing him and playing monopoly never happened and never will. The dream was made for my enjoyment," Logan said, washing his face. "You don't mean shit to Austin Campbell. To him, you're just that fag that has a crush on him," Logan said, putting on his glasses and turning on the hair-iron. "You're gonna have a good day today, see the guys and possibly flirt with Sebastian. Maybe," Logan try to say convincingly, buttoning up his Men 21's cardigan that he loved so much. "So you found another gay kid at school?" Daniel said, making Logan jump two feet in the air. "Geez Christ, I hate it when you do that!" Logan said, straightening his bangs. Daniel stood there, in his suit as always, ready to head off for work. Daniel worked as a lawyer and even had his own law firm, a very well-known law firm that threatened all the others. It ran in the family blood for them. Success. It's the number one thing that made the Mason family so rich and well-developed. When Daniel was two, he knew how to read a novel by Jane Austin. In the sixth grade, he took AP Calculus and Physics Honors. It's safe to say that Daniel is the smart one out the family. There are five siblings in the Mason family, Logan being the youngest five and Daniel being the third oldest out the five of them. The other siblings were also wealthy and lived in different states, or countries for that matter. They were out there and making tons of money. Logan was the only one who was still in high school and the only gay son in the family. It was a shame to their family name. That's what Mom and Dad mostly cared about--their family name. Logan still had to live up the expectations of the family and had to make just as much money. It's something that he strived for ever since he took Economics AP last year. He wanted to show that he can still just as good. That's also the reason why he refused the money that Daniel or his parents offered him. He'd prefer to make his own living and own his own stuff. He couldn't stand the fact that the money that he was using came from the bastards who threw him out. Daniel refuses to let Logan do everything himself, so they decided on that Logan gets allowances from Daniel, which was like a thousand bucks per week and that Daniel had to pay for Logan's college. He wanted to be helpful to his little bro. Couldn't let him do everything by himself. Most of the allowance money goes into Logan's bank account for future uses only. Emergencies as Logan says, even though his pocket change was in stacks of hundreds. Daniel was the only one who still lived in California, so Logan decided to live with him instead of moving. It was much closer to the beaches and he still can attend the same school with his friends. Also, unlike the rest of the family, Daniel didn't care that Logan was gay. He loved Logan to death and didn't hate at all for it. Instead, he embraced it, because he saw Logan as someone that had a lot of shine and potential. He couldn't shun his little brother away like the rest did. "You know you secretly love it," Daniel said, drinking his own grinded coffee. So rich-tasting. Logan laughed, "I can't imagine what a girl would do to you if you scared like you did me." "That's why I'm single, no problems with one night stands though," Daniel said, running his hand through his slack back hair that was professional done every day. They all had hair dressers on speed dial. Daniel was still a bachelor, which was also strange for the family, because everyone else is married and still married. Daniel's excuse for his absent of having a girlfriend was that he didn't want compliments to ruin his work and the balance of his career. He wouldn't have time to deal with romance and crap. He was attractive, as most girls would say. Also something that ran in the Mason family as well. Logan styled his hair and hair sprayed it, to keep it some shape and posture. He felt like a carbon brand of that Justin Bieber kid that those girls at die for with his hairstyle like that. He looked like a dork, but a cute one though. "So there's a kid at your school that also gay? Another one that came out or a new kid?" Daniel asked, arms still crossed. Logan looked over at his brother, "A new kid." Daniel uncrossed his arms, "His name's Sebastian?" Logan had a perplexed look on his face, "How'd you know?" Daniel gave him a secretive look, "He's in the living room. At first I thought he was a lost tourist then he told me he came to pick you up." Logan sighed, "And you wait to tell me now?" Daniel rolled his eyes and left, "Yeah, I love messing with you. Anyway, he's waiting for you and we'll talk about him later after you get home from school." "I might have plans tonight," Logan interrupted. Daniel raised his eyebrows. "You? You have plans? I don't think hanging out with Dennis and Talan is called `plans'," Daniel said moving to the bedroom,. "Well, it wouldn't to you, would it?," Logan said passing him up. Daniel walked to the door and opened it for Logan, "Go get your man bro." Logan's face turned red. "What?" "Like I said, we'll talk about it later," Daniel said with a wink. Sebastian was wondering what was taking Logan so long to get dressed as he patiently sat on the high end paid couch. It was probably imported, along with a lot of other things that were in this fabulous house. He felt poor for being inside a rich person's house. He felt cheap sitting inside a rich person's house. Logan didn't come off as a snobby rich kid like the ones that he made in Florida. He was actually normal and just like everyone else. Logan was a great guy who was Sebastian first friend. He sat up all night thinking about Logan, about his blue eyes, his lush brown hair, his scrawny figure, and his personality. To Sebastian, Logan was definitely his type. He was short than Sebastian, which with a good thing because Sebastian couldn't anyone taller than him. Logan was also very modest, another great quality that he liked. Logan overall was the one that Sebastian wanted to ask out on a date but Sebastian valued the start of their friendship. Plus, he wasn't even sure if Logan felt the same back. He hoped that Logan did. As Sebastian smiled at the thought of them dating, a door somewhere closed. He looked over to where the sound came from and it was Logan and his brother, Daniel. Logan walked down the small spiral staircase, looking really cute. Sebastian blushed and stood as Logan approached him. "Morning," Sebastian greeted, as Logan came to him. "Good morning to you too Sebastian," Logan replied, smiling. "Came here to pick you up like you asked," Sebastian said, putting his hands into his pockets. They looked at each other for a minute without speaking, just looking into each other's eyes. Sebastian wanted to just pull Logan's face in for a deep kiss, but he respected Logan too much to do that. But he wanted to so badly. "Alright kiddos," Daniel started, stopping their slowed train of thoughts, "time I went to work. You two play it safe." "Daniel, get your ass to work," Logan said, walking to the kitchen. Before Daniel closed the door, he said, "Oh, and the condoms are in the little box over next to the stereo set." Both of the gay boys turned red from the remark that was just made. Sebastian felt uncomfortable, but wanted to laugh. Well, at least he knew where the condoms were if Sebastian and Logan ever got together. Logan on the other hand, felting embarrassed that his brother just said that in front of a guy he liked. "Get your ass to work or I'm not cooking tonight," Logan said, making Daniel close the door behind him. Sebastian laughed. "Well, your brother is interesting. Is he always like that?" Logan sighed while he popped two organic blueberry bagels in the toaster and grabbed a bottle of orange juice out to drink. "Sadly, yes. Want a bagel and OJ?" Logan asked, being courteous. Sebastian smiled, "Sure." Sebastian walked to the bar of part of the kitchen and sat in one of the high stools that were usually made for real bars. He looked up and saw glowing, neon signs of the words, "Daniel Rocks!" "Really?" Sebastian said, pointing upwards. Logan smiled and handed Sebastian the glass of OJ, "My brother loves buying useless crap that makes this condo more lively. He said it helps begin out more life and character. But I think he buys it to show off." "I can see that, I didn't know you were rich. You guys have really nice condo here," Sebastian replied, taking his OJ. "Thanks," Logan started, moving placing the bagels on a plate and sat down into front of Sebastian. "But I never use money anyway. I refuse to use any of my parent's money." Sebastian slathered cream cheese on his bagel, "Oh so you don't want to use their money or they cut it off?" Logan took a bite of his bagel and talked with his mouth full, "Well, I don't use their money because they're assholes." Sebastian remembered how uncomfortable Logan was about his parents, "Oh I'm sorry why?" Logan placed his bagel on the plate and prepared himself for a long talk. "Well, I came out to them a long time ago, middle probably and they didn't take it so well. Like my mom called the church and told the priest that he needed to get the demon out of me and my dad just slapped me. He told me that I should be ashamed and that he never loved and never will." Sebastian stopped eating and imagined how hard it must have been for Logan to have his parents act like that in front of him. His parents didn't have the same reaction of his. "I'm so sorry Logan, that's terrible," Sebastian said, rubbing Logan's shoulders. "Thanks," Logan replied, noting that Sebastian was rubbing his shoulders. His hands were so soft and gentle. They only meant to help. "That's why I live with my brother, he's the only one who understands and is okay with me being gay. The rest of my family hates me. They think I'm a disgrace to the family name. That's why I work, so I can make my own money. Never have to trust their precious money," Logan finished, eating the last part of his bagels. Sebastian saw the passion in Logan's eyes whenever he talked about his parents and making his own money. He liked that strength in Logan, it made him more confident-looking. He touched Logan's hand, "Look, I'm glad that you're strong now. It's terrible what they've done to you. I can't imagine how they could do that to their own son." Logan sighed, "All they're worried about is the family name." "Look, Logan, I'm always going to be here to talk about anything with. You know, right?" Sebastian said, while holding Logan's hand. Logan felt the reassuring hand on his. He was glad that Sebastian was here to listen. He's never told anyone before about his family issues before. "You know you're the second person that I've told," Logan said, smiling. Sebastian smiled back, "Well, I'm glad you told me. It definitely makes me understand you better." Sebastian stared into Logan's blue eyes, falling into the depths of the blue that seemed endless to him. Sebastian wanted so badly to lay one on Logan. To feel his lush brown hair, to make out deeply, and to tell him that he cares and that he'll never stop caring. That's how he felt right there. Sebastian knew for a fact that they had chemistry and that it was for real. Sebastian wanted to make a move on him before anyone else gets on him. And he knew the perfect idea. Dennis and Talan sat together at one of the tables outside of the school's common area. The tables were nice, but they were never able to use them. It was either too hot or snowing outside to eat, so everyone ate inside where it's all controlled. It was actually pretty nice outside, it was cool for the November. The wind was blowing in the right direction and the temperature wasn't humid at all. The other students were roaming about around them, socializing and conversating. Talan and Dennis themselves were conversating as well. "So like do you like the new guy Sebastian?" Dennis asked. Talan looked at his friend and answered, "Hell yeah! He's cool as fuck! Why wouldn't I like him?" "I was just asking. Yeah, he's cool. I think he's into Logan," Dennis said, slightly looking over at two girls doing cartwheels in their skirts for the guys in front of them. What sluts. Talan had a questioning look, "Yeah. I saw that yesterday. He was staring at Logan an awful lot." "I know right?" Dennis said with an empathizing look on his face. "We're going to need a talk withhim," Talan replied. Dennis was the one with the questioning look now. "Why?" he asked. "Well, to get to know him better. So he's not a fraud and a secret drug dealer," Talan said, crossing his arms. "True that. We'll have to get him alone," Dennis said. "Agreed," Talan said with a smile and then seen over Dennis's shoulders, that the jocks were coming. "Crap," Talan said, looking off as if he didn't care. "The jocks?" Dennis asked, hands starting to become shaky now. "Yeah, right on point Dennis," Talan replied. Dennis sighed as they approached in front of them. It was just Austin and Howard this time. This made Dennis feel somewhat relieved but he was still scared shitless from Howard. At least the other jerks weren't around to instigate any drama. Austin was a jerk but he was reasonable and didn't usual look for fights. Howard looked like he wanted to eat somebody up and spit them out. He was the most threatening looking guy on campus. Dennis wasn't sure if Howard even looked like a student anymore with a bodybuilder's body. Dennis decided to speak, but Austin stopped him. "No, I'll speak first gaysian," Austin said, insulting Dennis but he kept his mouth shut. Talan wanted to say something but he didn't with Howard staring him down, threatening to end his life if he dared say a thing. So he kept his mouth shut. "You two," Austin continued, "are invited to Rick Wester's party on Friday. It's by the Lake Acale. Don't miss it." "And if we didn't go?" Talan said, with little fear in his voice. Austin looked at Talan and smiled, but in a secretive, contrived way. He had something in his sleeve. Talan could feel it. He just knew these guys were up to no good. "Well, if you don't go, Howard is going to have a really nice time beating the shit out of you and then, I'm going to get the whole team to kick the shit out of you. Sounds pretty compelling huh?" Austin said, with a stupid smirk on his face. Talan just wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. He just wanted land one on Austin's face. The douche bag... He couldn't stay him, but he as usual. He never did say anything. "So do we agree?" Austin asked, putting his hands into his varsity jacket. "Yes, I'll be there," Dennis said, looking downwards. He was shaking. Talan felt so bad for him. He wanted so bad to pull Dennis away from these horrid people and tell him its okay. That he doesn't have to be scared anymore. But he didn't and that's what saddens him. Both Austin and Howard smiled, getting what they both wanted. Austin then asked Talan, "Then will you come now?" Talan felt a spark in him for a minute, "No." Howard then grabbed Dennis by the neck and threw him down on the ground violently. No one around them saw. Howard kicked Dennis's side, Dennis groaned in pain. If Howard were serious, then Dennis would an easy twig for him to snap. Dennis was too precious for him to let pride get in the way. Talan was about to literally cry, "Please stop, I'll go!" Austin smiled and put his hand up for Howard to stop, "That's enough Howard, stop hurting him." Howard picked Dennis up like a rag doll and placed him back on the seat. Dennis was holding his side as if he wanted to cry. Talan couldn't handle the sight of it. It was painful. "Make sure you come or else," Austin said before heading off, "and oh, that tell anyone that I told you to come. No one. Got it?" Talan nodded his head quick. "Good boy," Howard said, laughing. "Why? Are you inviting us though?" Dennis asked, his breath limited with his groans of pain. Austin looked at Howard, then back at Talan. "Because we said so." Then they left. As soon as they got out of earshot, Talan went over to Dennis immediately. He was completely concerned about his friend's health. Those kicks looked like it hurt. A lot. "Are you okay Dennis?" Talan asked, checking Dennis's body for any out the ordinary. "Yeah, it doesn't hurt that bad," he replied, clutching his sides. It did hurt that bad. "Those bastards, fuck them," Talan said, balling his fist up. "So what are we going to do at that party?" Dennis asked, curious. Talan wanted to say fuck it, but judging on the number that Howard did on Dennis, he had no choice. "Fuck, I guess we go," Talan answered. "Should we tell Sebastian and Logan?" Dennis said uneasily. "No, can't, or we'd be silenced," Talan sighed. Dennis, in pain, looked at his friend. Talan always cared about him. That's why he's in love with Talan. Dennis never had the balls to even think of it. He always has been in love with Talan since the third grade. Logan was the only person that knew he had a crush on Talan. Logan told him to go for it, but Dennis always refused, refusing to ruin the friendship that they've had. He never wanted to lose Talan, even if it makes hopelessly crushing on him forever then it was a price he had to pay. Though in an alternate life, he would be with Talan right now on a cruise to the Bahamas, kissing on the yacht and having mad sex. But that was all a dream and a fantasy. Talan would never go for an Asian chick, what means you think he would go for an Asian guy? For now and probably forever, Talan would the one that got away. As Logan got out Sebastian's car, he looked over at Sebastian and thought, it might be a good day as well. As they walked to the common area, Logan saw Talan and Dennis talking, but with concern on their faces. It was strange. What happened? "What's wrong with them?" Sebastian asked, looking Logan. "I don't know," Logan said, walking faster towards them. As they approached Dennis and Talan, they composed themselves and acted like nothing happened. Logan saw this as strange. Were they keeping something from him? It wasn't like them to just change moods so quickly. "Hey, is everything alright?" Logan asked. Dennis looked at Talan, whose eyes told him to lie. "Um, yeah. Everything's okay. Why?" Dennis lied, feeling terrible. Dennis hated lying, especially to one of his closest friends. He didn't want to but for the sake of not getting killed, he had to do we he had to. Talan felt the same way but he cared about Dennis more than anyone else. More than Logan. He would do anything to protect Dennis from harm. "Well, when we walked over here, you and Talan looked really concerned or really sad," Logan replied, trying to figure out why the sudden change of mood. "Yeah, that's how it looked from my side too," Sebastian said. "Nah, it was just about Dennis's parents ignoring him," Talan lied. He was a better liar than Dennis was. At least he tried to make it more convincing. "Oh, are you okay with your parents?" Logan asked, not a hundred percent sure what Dennis and Talan said was fully the truth. "No, they're still ignoring me. They don't want to talk about apparently," Dennis lied again, getting used to the making up things and lies. "What's up with your parents?" Sebastian asked, interested. "Well, my parents--" Dennis said before Logan drowned him out with his thoughts. Something was up and Logan can feel it. Something with Talan and Dennis that they can't even tell him. He needed to tell the truth but he had a feeling they wouldn't say anything. Something was holding them thumbed down and Logan wanted to know what. If was about Austin or Howard, they would have said something already, but then again, anything can happen. There was so little that Logan didn't know and it was confusing him. He needed to know what was happening around here. Yesterday, Austin didn't hurl food at Logan or any of his friends which was strange. They also did and as to why they didn't yesterday? He didn't know. He didn't like it. Zebras don't change their stripes. Especially for the jocks and that quick. Something was happening around at school and it was a change that he didn't like it. Dennis would never lie to him and he just did. Dennis is the worst liar in the world. He knew Dennis lied to him and everything that he said was complete bullshit. Same with Talan. They were hiding something and he wanted to know. "Logan!" Talan yelled at him. Logan shook his head, jumping back into reality. "Yes?" Logan replied. They all gave him an incredulous look. "Um, it's time for class, the bell rung," Talan answered. "Oh right. Yeah, let's go," Logan said, grabbing his tote bag. As they sat in Chemistry, continuing to work on their lab, the boys were mostly on the edge. Except for Sebastian, who didn't know what was going on. Logan was about to fill him in. Talan and Dennis talked silence to each other throughout the lab. Sebastian finally decided to figure out what was going on and asked Logan, "What up with them?" Logan, as if waiting for him to have asked that, turned to Dennis and Talan to see if they were looking and turned back to Sebastian. "Okay, so I think something's going on with Dennis and Talan," Logan said, pretending to work on his lab. "I kind of figured that much out. But why?" Sebastian asked. Logan shrugged his shoulders, "The thing is, I honestly don't know. I mean they were acting different and weird this morning. It's like out the normal for them to change moods." Sebastian was curious, "I saw that too but what does it mean?" "I don't know. Dennis and Talan lied to me. They never do that. NEVER," Logan replied, empathizing never. "How can you tell?" Sebastian responded. Logan gave him a raised eyebrow, "They've been my friends since childhood and plus Dennis is the worst liar I've ever met. I knew right off the bat that he lied to me. It's thing that I could tell right away." "What do you think it's about?" Logan shrugged his shoulders again, "I really would like to think that it's about the parent troubles, but I know it's more than that." "We could ask them," Sebastian suggested. Logan gave him a stupid look, "They wouldn't have lied to begin with if we could ask them straight out the blue. They would have lied again." Sebastian thought on this for a second, while Logan wrote in his notebook for chemistry. Then he got it. "Okay,we could ask them to go to double date tonight. It'll take the edge off of them and maybe they'll talk to us. Then we would know." Logan nodded his head, that was the perfect idea and excuse to go on a date with Sebastian. This was too good. "That sounds pretty nice and really smart. A double date? With me?" Logan said with a smile on his face. Sebastian chuckled a little, "Yeah but it's for the sheer information of the things we want to know and we can have that hang out thing checked off." Logan smiled even wider, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. Let's get that checked off then." "We should, and let tonight be a good night for us." Sebastian said. I hope Logan sees how much I like him, Sebastian thought, crossing his fingers. I really Sebastian to just plant one on me, Logan thought sexually in his mind. As the boys sat their table for lunch, it was awkward. Dennis and Talan were nervous and on high tension, Logan and Sebastian were scanned them furiously. It was taco day at lunch and it was everyone's favorite. Dennis and Talan rarely touched their food, they were worried about what was going to happen at that party tomorrow. Logan and Sebastian were finished with their plates already. "Guys, it's taco day, you never miss a single spot on your plates," Logan said, convincing them to eat. "Um, sorry I have a really bad stomachache," Dennis claimed, pretending to look like in pain, which he pulled off because his sides they were hurting from the Howard's kicks from this morning. "Yeah, Dennis's Chinese food yesterday gave me a horrible case of stomach cramps," Talan said, pushing away his food. Logan saw that they were hiding and continuing to lie. Logan wanted to ask, but he knew he wouldn't get an answer at all. So he nudged Sebastian with his elbows. Sebastian turned his head to Logan from the Talented students doing tricks and magic, "What?" Logan grabbed his Snapple bottle and drank it. Sebastian was confused until he saw Logan's eyes pointing in the direction of the Dennis and Talan. He knew right away that Logan wanted him to tell the guys about the bowling plans tonight. They already discussed the plan to hang out at in Health class, that bowling was cool, fun, and they served alcohol there. "Hey, guys I have this awesome plan tonight to go bowling," Sebastian started. Logan really needed to pee, so he decided to let Sebastian handle the situation, while he went to the bathroom. He already knew what Sebastian was going to tell them, so he wouldn't miss out, except their answer to go on the date or not. "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back," Logan said as he got up and left. "Kay," the others said in unison. As Logan walked out the bathroom stall from pissing, he was grabbed and thrown to the wall. He recovered from the hit against the tiled wall and saw who was in front of him, Austin. Howard was standing behind him like a body ground even though he was sure that Austin could handle anyone, especially someone of Logan's size. He was scared for a second but wasn't. He knew all Austin wanted to do was terrorize him, he would never hurt someone. His mother would kill him if he hurt someone. Howard, he believed would hurt him severely, considering his angry issues. Logan was being held against the wall by Austin and it was really nice to be standing really close to one of the cutest guys at school. It was intimidating. Austin was Logan's biggest crush since the seventh grade and he didn't know why. When he knew everything about being gay, he just started liking him. He should have been hating him instead of being attracted to him. Every time Logan would try to find a reason why he liked Austin, he just couldn't find one. It's like it was erased from his mind or something. He just couldn't remember a time, but his dreams indicated it. He just didn't know. Austin's beautiful face was by him and it was hard for Logan not to blush at all. Austin's pine green eyes were unpredictable and that square-jaw that desperately wants to be rubbed all over, that golden blonde that he just wanted to run his fingers through. Austin was definitely a sweet spot for Logan. He just couldn't resist the temptation to kiss him. Austin grinned when he felt Logan blush. He knew he had him right where wanted him to be. "Logan," Austin whispered into Logan's ear sensually. Logan blushed even more if that was possible, he was shaking with pleasure at all points. When Austin whispered into his ear, Logan surrendered right then and there. Austin was all his. "Yeah," Logan replied, barely getting a word out. Logan heard Howard laugh, "You're turning on the fag Austin, be careful he's gonna rape ya!" Logan became pissed off at the stereotypical remark that Howard, but Austin's voice brought him back to wonderland. "Hey, hey, don't mind him. He's just jealous. So there were some things I wanted to talk to you about," Austin said, keeping his eyes on Logan's Logan kept staring into Austin's eyes, never wanting to leave them. "So what you wanted to talk about?" Logan said, getting lost in Austin's beautiful eyes. "Well there's a party going on Friday at Rick Wester's lakehouse by the Acale Lake and I was thinking that maybe you should go," Austin said, with his breath hitting Logan. Logan liked it, his breath smelled like a rainforest mint and then Austin was wearing a cologne on that was so compelling. It just made Logan want to pop a load. "Should I? I mean am I invited?" Logan said. Austin smiled a little and Logan just melted at the sight of it. God,everything about this guy was perfect, Logan thought in his slowed down processed mind. "Yeah, yeah you should definitely go. I'm gonna there and we can hang out and do stuff," Austin said, licking his lips and slightly biting them. Austin obviously knew how to turn someone on and he used it to his beat advantage. Logan was trapped and he didn't want to consider fighting it. Then a voice broke through the haze of lust that Logan was in. "Logan!" Sebastian's voice thundered through the bathroom. He went to go see what was taking Logan so long. He walked in to see that Austin and Howard were terrorizing him. Sebastian tried to grab Austin off of Logan, but felt the strong pull of Howard's arms. He backhanded Sebastian to the wall near Logan's was. Howard had a good, strong grip on Sebastian wrist, so he couldn't move. "Say a word and I'll fuck you up bad, new faggot," Howard said to Sebastian. Sebastian was about to say something but Howard twisted his arms painfully so he kept his mouth shut. "Let him go!" Logan yelled, coming back to reality. Austin was losing him, so he pulled Logan's over from the view of Sebastian into his. Austin's face was a lot closer and they kept their eyes on each other. This was a fantasy come true for Logan. The guy he'd been crushing on his finally cornered him and was talking seductively to him. "Hey, don't mind them, they're just talking. Let's talk about us okay?" Austin said romantically to Logan. Logan was practically Austin's slave at this point. So he ignored Sebastian and looked into Austin's green, alluring eyes. They were the only things that made sense at that moment. "Kay," Logan said, his breath becoming labored. "So about that party?" Austin asked, holding Logan's chin with his thumb and index finger. That made Logan basically shiver. "Yeah, I'll go. Anything for you, Austin," Logan answered, smiling like a schoolgirl. Austin nodded, "Good boy." Then Austin did something completely unexpected. He leaned in closer and kissed Logan. This made Logan's day completely. It wasn't just a kiss too. Austin's tongue easily slipped through Logan's lips and found his tongue. Logan reciprocated back to it. He wanted it. It was the best goddamn feeling in the whole entire fucking universe. They making out, Austin was being completely passionate about it, and Logan was just let it happen. It wasn't a kiss, it was motherfucking magic at that point. Flying unicorns and moon-jumping cows seemed possible that one moment. Logan felt it and he knew Austin did too. Regardless of how faked it was. Austin felt something in the kiss. Sebastian saw this from the other wall and what horrified. He couldn't believe Logan would let Austin do that to him. Sebastian felt sad to see it and he couldn't stand it. He just wanted to go fucking Hulk on Austin's pathetic ass right now. Obviously, he was using lust to get whatever he wanted from Logan. He didn't care what happened to Logan as long as he got what he came for. Sebastian saw that Logan was completely smitten by Austin. He was head over heels for Austin. He saw that in the kiss. There was no lie about that. This made Sebastian feel stupid for ever trying to like Logan, but he knew he stood a chance. He wasn't going to give up on getting him. When Austin let go of the kiss, there were still fireworks bursting in Logan's heart. Austin couldn't deny that it was a good kiss, but he was only there to make sure Logan came to tomorrow's party. He needed to make sure that Logan was going to come and this kiss sealed the deal. He didn't meant any of those words that he said to Logan. Austin was an A-class smooth talker, he knew what exactly what to say to get a girl's heart so he can sleep with her later. The same rules apply to gay guys. "So be at the party tomorrow. I'll be there, Logan," Austin said, backing away from Logan. "Same applies to you too, new kid. Be there." Howard let go of Sebastian, which was a relief, he thought he was losing circulation in his arms. "Yeah or else we'll fuck you up. Better not tell anyone, anyone or we'll be back," Howard said threatening. "Kay, I got it," Sebastian replied, going to Logan's side. They left and Sebastian pulled Logan up from the ground, "Fuck them. God, I can't stand that Howard guy. Gets on your nerves." "Yeah, yeah," Logan replied softly, still feeling the aftermath effects of that enchanted kiss. Sebastian saw this and asked, "What was that kiss for?" Logan immediately snapped out of his haze and saw that Sebastian was hurt by witnessing that kiss. "Oh I need to know more about what he wanted, so I was playing along," Logan lied. The difference between Dennis and Logan. Logan was a great liar. Logan smiled at Sebastian without a hint of doubt in it. Sebastian took the lie, "Oh, great acting. So a party somewhere they want us to attend to or what?" "Yeah, I know where it's at too. Exactly. That's where I think Dennis and Talan are going tomorrow. I think that's what got Dennis and Talan so nervous. He went to them and made them go to. He used Howard to threaten them to go," Logan explained. "You think? Should we talk to them about it?" Sebastian asked. Logan shook his head, "No, if they're not really involved then I don't want to drag them into it. Plus, Austin and Howard must have made kept quiet." Sebastian had a questioning look, "Why would they do that? They could have invited all of us at one time." Logan realized why the invitation, "It's part of their plan." "Woah!!!" Talan yelled loudly as hit a strike on the pins. The bowling alley was packed and they were having fun. "Go Team Dennis and Talan!" Dennis said happily. The bowling alley date was definitely a good idea and a way to get off the rising tension that happened at school. They really needed it. From the Austin to the mystery of the party was way too stressful for them. They needed a night of fun. To prepare for the reality of the party that was going to happen tomorrow. They would need to normalcy to cope with every of their situations. Logan and Sebastian were sitting at their table, eating fries and chicken nuggets. They were talking casually about the things they'd like and whatnot. They were all drinking alcohol from the bar provided from the bar. They got the drinks from the owner of the bowling alley, who was Sebastian's uncle, so they got in free and had free alcohol. They were lucky because they needed the alcohol to get the edge off. God knows why they were eating and drinking, which was a bad combination. As Talan and Dennis cheered on for their victory in beating Logan and Sebastian, Logan and Sebastian's drinking level were controlled. They needed to be lucid to get any information on the other guys' situation. Dennis and Talan's drinking was very high up. They drunk more than they think of, thank god they all went in one car. "When they get here, you talk to Talan and I'll begin Dennis into the bathroom. Then way we'll have them separated. It'll be easier to get information out them if they're separated," Logan said, moving over to prepare for Dennis coming over. "Got it. But hey, that's just a side job. Just have fun tonight. For both of us, so we can be ready for that party tomorrow," Sebastian said, handing Logan's hand. "Yeah," Logan said, not realizing that they holding hands. "Hell yeah!" Dennis and Talan said, jumping next to Logan and took a shot of patron. "Well you two, sound like you're having fun," Sebastian laughed. "Well you don't know what fun is until you take off your clothes," Dennis said, attempting to take off his shirt. Logan immediately pulled down his shirt, holding it there. "Sweetie, we're in public." Talan and Dennis laughed what Logan just said. Logan looked at Sebastian, "Yeah, they're slap-happy drunk." "Seriously," Sebastian replied, marveled by the power of alcohol. Logan turned to Dennis, "Hey let's go to the bathroom Dennis. I need your advice on something." "Oh yeah, you're sleeping with Sebastian tonight huh?" Dennis asked drunkly. Both Sebastian and Logan's faces turned red from it. "Let's go, Dennis," Logan said as he pulled his friend away. As they got into the men's bathroom, the place looked like a mall bathroom. Nice looking and vibrantly lit. There was no one in the bathroom at the moment. This was the perfect moment to interrogate Dennis. Logan and Dennis stood in front of the mirrors. "So Dennis what happened this morning?" Logan asked, seizing the moment. Dennis was drunk but he was well-aware of what was asked. He couldn't stop getting the image of Howard kicking the crap out of him out of his head. He knew Logan would ask this question again. He had to lie again to his friend. "Um, well. I was sad because my parents don't want me to be gay and the guy I love doesn't love back. What is there to say about?" Dennis slurred. Logan knew the whole Talan thing already. He felt for Dennis, but he needed to know the fact now about the party. Whether they were going or not. "Dennis, tell me about what Austin and Howard said to you," Logan asked more directly. "He said he was looking for you, but he didn't say anything else," Dennis continued to lie. Logan became more frustrated, even while they were drunk, they still had their defenses up. "Okay, so where are you going tomorrow night?" Logan asked, hoping to get the right answer. Dennis had to lie for this one. "I'm going over at Talan's and chill." Logan pinched the bridge of his nose. "God, this is going nowhere." Dennis clutched his stomach and ran to the stall closest to him and threw up in the toilet. He was barfing those fries and nuggets. It was a bad combination indeed. It tasted like crap. Logan ran into the stall and shut the door so no one would see. He kneel down next to his friend, comforting him while Dennis threw up. "You okay?" Logan asked. Dennis looked at Logan and said, "Fuck no, I feel like shit. I wanna go home now." Then a knock came to the door of the stall. Logan quickly responded, "Um, someone's using this stall." There were other stalls, why pick the one with throwing up person in there? No response came but another knock was placed. Logan was really pissing Logan off. He helped Dennis up and opened the stall door. "Look bitch," Logan started before stopping to see no one there. Guess they weren't ready to deal with the wrath of Logan Mason. Then there was something that caught Logan's eye. The mirrors, there was something written on there. Logan came close to it to read it. It said, "Lies and secrets can never hold, but the truth can always kill." It was written in lipstick, and written out prettily. "What a stupid, pathetic bitch," Logan said as he left the bathroom with Dennis. Logan came up with Sebastian with a sleeping Talan in his laps. "You didn't get anything either?" Logan asked Sebastian. Dennis was too drunk to know what they were talking about anyway. "Yeah, I think it's about time we go." Sebastian said helping Talan up. "Tonight was pretty good overall," Logan said to Sebastian. "Minus the Austin part," Sebastian said. Logan laughed, "Yeah. That too." As Logan Mason, Sebastian Lowe, Dennis Tran, and Talan Davis left the bowling alley, someone was watching them. Watching them from afar in the bowling alley, watching their every move. The person was the one who wrote on the mirrors in the bathrooms. That someone hated all of them, especially the one they called Logan Mason. That person hated Logan the most and was set to destroy his life and everything within it. The thing was, Logan doesn't even know this person. That person wanted to torture them, socially. That person enjoyed the embarrassment and the way people hated each other. Revenge was that person's favorite word. "Lies and secrets can never hold, but the truth can always kill," that person said while smoking a cigarette. This person wanted all of them, socially guillotined. That person was going to start the event off, everything that was planned exactly for them. This person laughed as they waited for the "thing" to happen. "Buckle up, bitches," that person said.
