So this chapter will have some parts of last chapter from Mitch's perception. Then it will go back to Casey at the end. But if you don't want to read his part than just skip to the part that says Casey POV. Okay? Happy Reading. ^^ What's this feeling? Mitch POV This was fucking great. Here I was in the bathroom debating whether or not to go back to class. Mr. Fletcher decided to get me and a few other people a tutor. So Monday and Friday I was suppose to stay extra time just to fucking learn math. Who the hell really needed math? We had computers and calculators right? Fuck it in the ass. But there was the problem if I failed any class I wouldn't be able to be in sports. I had to prove myself this year in order to be scouted out next year. I finished peeing and washed my hands. There was a reason why I had so many girlfriends. No one could keep their hands off me. I might sound conceited but it is true. They date me so their friends could be jealous but the relationships don't last long. There's nothing about them that keeps me interested. Sure the sex is fun but there more that I need. Can't just have sex. Though the rest of my friends think I'm crazy for wanting more. I walked back to the class and was not surprised to see Jorge their. He had was just as bad as me or worse. I sat down next to Lisa and watched as our tutor write problems on the board. The guy was pretty thin and had spiky hair. He would probably reach my shoulder if I stood up. When he finished the problem he turned around and smiled. My heart stopped. His eyes twinkled and placed the marker on the desk. "Hi, everyone my name is Casey and I will be your tutor for awhile." When he looked around the class room I saw his lips move. Counting I was guessing. When his eyes landed on me I felt weird. Good weird but I didn't know why. "Okay so take out a piece of paper...." For some reason each time he talked I was lost in his voice. Whenever his eyes landed on me I melted and couldn't speak. When he asked me something all I could say was I don't know. Each time I said that he got a irritated look. He gripped the bridge of his pretty nose. Wait pretty? I thought for a second it was a pretty nose. "I still don't get it!" Lisa gave a little whine and I covered my ear. Boy did she have some lungs. "Look once you get the answer you can backtrack to get the question. The question gives you the answer." He turned around and my eyes zoned in on his ass. Round and firm almost smackable. I bit my lip, what was wrong with me? I didn't like guys did I? Not that I really cared about the girls I dated either but still. The girls I dated seemed interesting but after awhile it was gone. Some of them just wanted to talk others just wanted sex and it got boring fast. Sex was sex so who cares. But I never looked at a guy and found him attractive. Barely girls. "This is how. See?" He turned around and motioned to his work while he talked. I bit down harder on my lip. I just popped a boner, that almost never happened. "Lets take a ten minute break." As soon as I heard break I made sure I was the first on to leave and went back to the bathroom. Got into a stall and opened my fly taking out my cock. Shit I was really hard and hot just for staring at an ass? Usually for me it never went down once it was up. I spit on my hand and closed my eyes when I rubbed it. I imagined Susie sucking me off but it didn't really work. So I just imagined plump pink lips around my cock taking it in slowly. Playing with my tip I saw spiky chocolate brown hair, light tan skin, and heard light moans. I rubbed harder thinking those lips sucking harder. Soon I let out a little grunt as I came all over my hand and part of the stall wall. I let out a little contented sigh. I never came that early usually I could last through a whole porn film. Not that I actually watch them a lot just when I get hot and bothered. I got some toilet paper and cleaned myself and the wall. Flushed them down the toilet and heard the bathroom doors open. "Shit that little nerd has a fine ass don't you think?" "Jorge you are a weird fuck but you are right nice ass though." "Whats so weird about wanting to fuck an ass?" I heard them starting to piss. I leaned in closer for some reason I felt jealous. "A guys ass is what makes it weird." "An ass is an ass sometimes guys are better. You should try it one time." "Like the tutor? I heard he is gay so I don't know." "Chances are he will bend down for you. Jared his friend is a sex maniac so I wouldn't be surprised if he was to or not fucking him too." Jorge flushed the urinal and went to wash his hands. "Well if that is true then that ass won't be tight." Tim flushed and washed also. I wanted to go over to them and rip them apart. "Ass like that will be tight. Lets do a quick smoke and go back to that ass." Tim nodded and they left. I got out of the stall and washed my hands. I splashed a little water on my face to cool myself down. I wanted blood. I walked back to the classroom and luckily I was the only one their. I smiled. I didn't know why but I liked the idea of being alone with him. "Hi Casey?" I closed the door behind me and walked towards him, he nodded. "Can you go a little slower on the explanations?" I sat down in front of him, easier to look at him. If he could make them slower hopefully the other guys would leave. He gave a loud sigh. I felt sad for some reason I wanted him to be happy not disappointed. "I am going slow I don't know how I can go even slower." I looked up at him and was lost for a second. "Its just that you sometimes say things we don't understand." He was in deep though before he spoke again. "I'll keep that in mind thanks." He gave me a smile and I couldn't resist smiling back. I just realized something. Crap. This time when he explained I was able to listen some and got a few answers right. Even Jorge tried which made me angry. I wanted to make him smile, each time we got an answer right he smiled. Few Days Later. The week was slow as fuck. All I wanted to do was see Casey again but it was hard to find him. Different classes and years so I had to wait till Friday. Football tryouts where easy I made quarter back. Thankfully for me practice was on Wednesday. This time when Casey asked questions I answered back almost each one. Granted a few of them were wrong but most of them made him smile. I took a few glances at his ass but not long enough to pop a boner. When one started I thought about Jorge giving Tim a blow job and it was gone. It was interesting to note that I wasn't attracted to any other guy. Hell I didn't even pay attention to the girls throwing themselves at me. After finishing my work I ran out of the class like a bullet and hoped Casey was still here. Not sure why but I just wanted to thank him. I told myself. It wasn't that weird right? No alterior motive. Luckily for me he was sitting down on the edge. "Casey?" I leaned down and waited for him to answer. "Casey?" I saw his eyes were closed and he had headphones on. I put my hand on his shoulder and he put his hand on top of mine. Something weird tingled my hand and he looked up at me. When he saw me his eyes went a little big for a second and he fell backwards. "Shit," I cursed lowly. I reached out my hand and he took it, I felt the weird tingling again. He lifted himself up and I suppressed the urge to reach for his hand when he took it away. Weird. I looked at my hand for a minute and back at Casey. What the hell was the tingling. "Are you okay?" I lifted him up to the edge. It was not to touch him just help him I told myself. "I'm fine, you just scared me there for a second." He shook the dirt off and looked back at me with those wonderful eyes. I mean just regular eyes. I rubbed my neck and felt my cheeks warm up. "Sorry about that. I thought you where sleeping when you didn't answer me back." I gave him a little smile, hopefully he would forgive me. "Did you need something?" He raised his eyebrow and I pointed to the leaf on his hair. He looked adorable with it on his head, kind of cute. I mean. Blah. "Nothing really just wanting to tell you how I'm grateful for your help." There was nothing else about it. Not wanting to see him or those eyes. Nope not at all. "Well thanks Reid. Soon you will be flying through questions." I scrunched up my face. Why did he call me that? "Are you okay?" "Call me Mitch not Reid." Which was weird since I liked people calling me Reid. "But don't people call you Reid?" That was true but I wanted him to call me by my name. Only special people could call me Mitch. "Yes, but I want you to call me Mitch." I felt my cheeks warm up again. Why did I open my mouth and tell him that? We talked for a bit and I listened to every word he said. This time I controlled myself and didn't lose myself in his eyes, face, lips, or voice. "Do you want a ride home?" I checked my watch and was surprised we talked for about a hour. "No its fine. Someone is going to pick me up." I clenched my teeth. "By someone you mean like-" Boyfriend? "Hey Lou over here!" He looked over my head and smiled. He jumped off the ledge and waved his hand over his head. "Well see you on Monday okay?" I gave a little nod when I saw the old lady. My eyes zoomed in on his ass as he walked away. I continued to look as the car started leaving. This was weird. Good weird but weird none the less. I tapped my pencil on my textbook. I couldn't focus all I could see was those aqua eyes. That skin. Mouth. Nose. I sighed and laid my head on my notebook. I wanted to see him again. My pocket started vibrating and I took it out. I looked at the caller ID and scowled. Jessie. I debated whether or not to answer the phone. She was the only one I told about my problem and she only made it worse by telling me to man up. Not to mention the little information she found out about Casey. I decided that I couldn't possibly feel any worse so I answered. "Reid." I said monotone. "Guess who I am looking at right now?" Jessie whispered. "I don't know. A frog?" She did have work today. "No care to guess again?" Her voice held excitement. "Not really," I tapped my pencil again. "If you wanna play games then play with someone else." "Fine. Well then sorry for trying to tell you that your Tutor is here. Well bye..." I could imagine the smile on her face. My ears perked up. "Shut up. For reals?" She was silent. "Jess." "What? You told me to shut up." I gave a little growl. "He came in here a little while ago. Looking at animal food," She paused for a second. "Some kind of squirrel food I think." "I see..." I went to my bed and searched for my shoes. "Is he alone?" "Well some guy talked to him and ran off a little while ago. Could have been Jared though. Couldn't really tell." I squeezed my hand before I slipped on my shoes. "So no then?" Better be a no. I shook my head. Why was I possessive? "Yup..." She covered the phone for a second. "Better hurry I told Richie to go to the cash register for me. If he leaves I'll stalk him for you." I rolled my eyes. Like I will tell her anything again. "Whatever." I hurried to my Jeep and drove like a mad man to the mall. Hopefully he wouldn't leave. "He went upstairs to the food court waiting for his order to be filled." Jess told me when I climbed up the stairs. "Thanks for stalking..." "Well if you don't who will?" She gave me a smile and patted my back. I slowly made my way to the McDonald's keeping my eyes on him. Was I stalking? Sure if I found him I would fallow him from far away but still. Not to mention the fact that I waited for him at the parking lot once. I got some fries and a burger. I slowly made my way towards him and smiled when I saw his eyes closed. "Why is it that when I want to talk to you you have your eyes closed?" I gave him a little smile and but my food on the table. "Care if I eat with you?" "Doesn't matter with me its a free table," He smiled back and popped a chicken into his mouth. Lucky chicken. "That it is..." I ate a few fries, "So can I ask why you are eating by yourself?" Hopefully that didn't sound that stalkerish. "Yes you can. Jared left to go do something and took my car..." He took a sip from his smoothie and rubbed his nose. "Now I have to wait for him to come back." Good he was mine. "Well I can keep you company till he gets here right?" I put a fry in my mouth and chewed slightly. I saw his eyes twinkle and his lip twitch. "Doesn't matter with me..." He turned slightly and I thought I saw a little blush. He took a sip and cursed the straw to hell. Maybe I could try something. I felt my lips curl a little. "Really? Whats that your drinking?" Not that I really cared just wanted to see if I could taste something. "Strawberry banana smoothie." He lifted it and showed me the label. Was it stalkerish to want to drink from his straw? "Can I try some?" Whatever I wanted it. Creepy or not. "Sure." He handed me the cup. Yes! I wrapped my mouth around the straw. I could taste him slightly. "Tastes good..." I gave him back the cup and purposely touched his fingers. "Tastes like something else too." Like you. Who cares. I wanted this. He gave me a little smile before eating another piece of chicken. "So why are you here? If you don't mine me asking," I put my smoothie right next to my plate. "My friend Ginger told me there was some new running shoes on sale." He nodded. So I gave a fake name. Gave me some options if he didn't know she was my friend. "So before Jared was here what where you doing?" My eye twitched when I said his name. I pushed the jealousy aside. "Girl hunting..." My eye twitched again. So was he straight and the rumors where fake? I rose my eyebrow. "Jared wanted to find a girl to bang dirty parts with." "Oh how about you?" I felt the urge to strangle something. "Not my type of thing to do." "Random sex or...." Hunting for a girl to date. I couldn't say it. Weirder. "Both." He smiled. Yes! Why with that information I was happy, I smiled. "Cool." "You know it." He lifted his fist and smiled. So he was proud huh? "So whats in the bag?" Definitely not a stalker. Why the hell did I start thinking I was a stalker? Damn you Jessie! "The carcass of a raccoon." What the fuck? I lifted my eyebrow. He gave a little giggle. "It's squirrel feed. There's a squirrel at my back yard who likes to steal my rabbits pellets." "Cool. Hey do you think that-" "CC you totally rock dude!" Jared, I guessed, ran up to Casey lifted him and gave him a bear hug. I clenched my fist. No one should touch him. "Thanks for the car it was rocking good time." Jared but him down and kissed his forehead. I used all myself control not to punch him in the face. What the fuck was wrong with me? Casey rubbed his head and glared at his friend. I smiled. So he didn't like him then. "Cleaned my car right?" They both sat down. I cursed. I wanted to be alone with him. The guy nodded and took away Casey's food. I controlled myself again. "All clean since I used the blanket in your trunk." "What blanket?" "Uh... Never mind..." He ate some of the food and looked at me. "Oh shit I didn't know there was someone else." I seriously wanted to hurt this guy. "Mitch." "Jared." I shook his hand and made sure to let him know I was stronger. I gave a little smile when he rubbed his hand. "Casey!" Jared and I looked at Casey with raised eyebrows. I resisted the urge again to hurt him. There was the possibility of something going on between them. Jessie wasn't sure on that fact though. "Dude can I take a shower before you take me home? Don't want the rents to smell the girl on me." I glared at Jared when Casey leaned over and sniffed him. "Sure lets go..." He got up from his seat and took his bag. "See you on Monday Mitch." He gave me a smile and a wave. I gave him a little nod, anger was swelling up inside my body.. I clenched my fries and didn't care when they exploded. Clenching my mouth I thought that maybe they weren't going to shower together. Maybe. "So did you have a pleasant conversation?" Jessie sat down and took a fry. "Bite me." "So I take it that you where interrupted?" She giggled. "Maybe I should have thrown myself to him to buy you time." Should've. Could've. But didn't. What the fuck was wrong with me? Casey POV "Stop with the incensed poking!" I lifted an eyebrow as Jared poked me again. He was such a child right now. I growled at him when he pressed in deeper. "Is that how you growl? Cute, not very manly." "Shut up." I leaned on the couch and pressed the palms of my hands on my eyes. "Don't let those assholes bring you down." I sighed. "So why did they call my dad a robber?" I shook my head. "Your dad was one of the people who made sure I kept my mothers inheritance. Uncle would have it all if it wasn't for your dad finding the will in my dads office." "Really? I thought it was Lou who made sure you kept your inheritance?" "She is another thing to. If it wasn't for her I would go with uncle and he would have access to all I own." Which he did for a month until Tim sued Uncle for using mothers money and taking things from the house. "Well that's good I guess," Jared scratched his chin and took a bite from a sandwich. "So when is Lou coming back?" "Not sure she has been in the doctors office for awhile now." I looked at the clock and it showed a little past five. "Sleeping over or going to go back home?" "Dad said to stay with you here just in case those assholes decide to come back." "I doubt your dad said assholes." I took a drink from my soda and stared at my sandwich. Wasn't really in the mood to eat right now. "He said some other words I can't remember or he told me not to repeat..." He took another bite and chewed softly. "So is Lou okay?" "She is getting hard of hearing and breathing problems aside from that she is as healthy as she ever was." I took another sip and wrapped a finger through my hair. "Will she come here today?" "Don't know sometimes she doesn't even come at all." She lived in an apartment just a few blocks away. Sometimes she stayed the night or didn't show up for days. "Okay well I'll leave you to your thoughts and go look at some porn," Jared got up and stretched. "Knock before you enter my room. I don't want a repeat of what happened last time. I got a pillow and threw it at him. Hard. I gave a little shiver and he smiled. It was horrible. Ugh. It didn't even need a flash back. Jared chuckled and left the room, I heard him running up the stairs. I took my sandwich and took a little bite. Tuna. I swallowed and got up. I headed to the office slowly chewing on my sandwich. If I missed a meal Lindsay would tell Lou and she would rip me a new one. I opened the doors and slowly made my way to the big chair. I sat down and finished the rest of my sandwich. ***** Flashback ***** "Do we have to move?" I held my teddy bear close to my chest and sniffled. I didn't want to move again. Daddy kneeled down and patted my head. "Sorry buddy but we have to..." He kissed my cheek and lifted me up. "Why? I like it here!" I pouted my lip and hugged Teddy closer. "Teddy doesn't want to go either." "But we have to we can't afford this place anymore," Daddy looked sad for a second before he looked into my eyes. "Want to live in a cardboard box or great grandma's house?" "I don't wanna go. I wanna stay here..." I kept one arm around Teddy and the other around daddy's neck. "They don't like me at that house..." "Well they are not going to be there. Just you, mommy, and me," Dad sat down on the tree stump. "Great grandmother left it all to mommy. They can't stay there unless we want them to." "Really?" I gave another sniff and sucked in my thumb. "Yes my little rabbit." Daddy rubbed his nose against mine I giggled. "So no Uncle Steven or Allison?" I lifted up Teddy. "Since Teddy don't like them either." "No just us. So tell Teddy not to worry no mean people to bother us." Dad hugged me tighter. ***** End Flashback ***** I bit my nail. They didn't bother us, they bothered me now. I turned the chair around and stared out the window. All I had to do was just leave and they could not bother me any more. I sighed. Mom wouldn't like that. This was our, my, house. Mom had special memories here and no one could take them from her or me. "Young man did you sleep here?" I felt something or someone rather poke me on the side. I lifted my head and groaned. My back was stiff and there was some wet stuff on my face. I rubbed my eyes and looked to the side. "Oh. Hi Lou." I stretched out my hands and back, my back gave a little crack. Damn when did I fell asleep? "Well hi yourself so did you sleep here?" She put her hands on her hips and looked down on me. Just like when I was a kid and ate some cookies before dinner. "Guess so..." She handed me a towel for her apron and I cleaned my face. "How was the doctors appointment?" I got up and I heard little cracks. The chair was comfy but it made you stiff. "Great," She gave me a smile but I doubted her. "Well go take a shower and I'll make you breakfast." I nodded giving a little yawn. After taking a quick shower and putting on my clothes I jogged down the stairs. Jared was eating some waffles while scratching his butt. Attractive. Not. "Why do I have to wake up early?" Jared whined as I got a glass of OJ, he gave a little burp and continued to eat. "If you wake up early then you will have good health," I finished my juice and Lou gave me a cup off coffee. Yay Starbucks kind. "Says the women who give CC coffee. You know that thing stunts your growth right?" I stuck my tongue out at him and took a sip. Yum it was sweet. "Well no skin off my bones if you are short." "Oh shush you thing." "Shit dude do actually run every Sunday?" Jared gave a little huff when he finally caught up with me. We started running circles around the backyard and currently I was up by five. Jared was still trying to finish his third. "More or less depending how I feel. The coffee gave me a boost though." I looked over to the side, Foamy was eating his nuts. I smiled such a cute little squirrel. "Whatever dude..." Jared let himself fall on the floor and looked where I was looking. "Oh look the psychotic squirrel." I giggled. Jared never trusted the squirrel after his incident a few weeks ago. Lets just say that he hasn't eaten nuts for awhile now. "Don't laugh at my pain!" Jared pulled me down to him and shoved me on the floor. "No laughing just giggling." He glared at me and I zipped my mouth shut. I didn't want a wet willie. "What ever. YOU DAMN SQUIRRLE SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!" Jared lifted up his hand and Foamy for a second before he continued eating. I held my giggle. "He can't understand you you know?" Jared sat up and glared at the happily eating squirrel. "I think he does. Those nuts hurt..." He rubbed his head and glared harder at Foamy. Foamy looked up and made a little noise. "See that furry little bitch knows I'm talking about him!" "Yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes and ignored his growl. He was like a wolf with none of their manners I swear. "Bitch." "Whore." "Monk." "Hornball." "Chicken." "Slut. "Virgin." "Whatever!" I gave a little huff and got up. "I don't know about you but I'm going to play some video games..." "Loser..." "What did you say?" I turned around and glared at him but he just turned me around. Putting his arm over my shoulder. "Nothing." I sniffed and covered my nose. "Dude you need deodorant." He sniffed his armpit and stuck out his tongue. "Well after a quick shower I will kick your sorry untouched virgin ass." "Says the big ass himself." I pushed him away from me. Luckily I didn't smell that bad. "Touche." Thankfully today I woke up early. Jared was passed out on my floor, to much soda I think. After kicking him enough for him to wake up I took a shower. Got dressed, had cereal, and made a little Starbucks run. "Next time you want me to have sex with you can you give me alcohol?" Jared put his hand on his forehead and sighed. "Yeah sex..." When he tried to sleep on my bed I kicked his ass off. Last time he slept in the same bed with me he spooned me. Talk about awkward. Especially when his dick was hard and poking my ass. I almost beat the shit out of him with my mad pillow skills. "Anyway why are we here so early?" How was fifteen minutes before the bell rang early? Jared sighed and took a drink of his hot chocolate. Yeah very manly. "Since I don't want to be late." "So you going to ask from homecoming? Its ladies choice." Jared looked at me with a smirk. "Foamy." I looked back at him. Instead of a smirk he had a glare. "Not funny." "Well he made you his bitch." I parked the car in my usual spot and looked at Jared. "Just you wait you freaking squirrel..." Jared muttered under his breath. As soon as we got into the hallway Jared but his arm around my shoulder like usual. I had this feeling that someone was staring at me but I ignored it. "So aside from attacking a defenseless squirrel whats on your mind?" "If I'm forgetting something...." He thought for a second and smacked his head. "Notes... Shit they should be in my locker if not I'm fucked. We stopped at his locker and he let go of me to do some searching. "Hi Casey." Mitch walked up from somewhere behind and put his arm around my shoulder. Weird. "Hi Mitch." I looked up and gave him a little smile. That was weird. Him putting his arm where Jared's was a few seconds ago. "Hey Mitch." Jared didn't even turn to look at him. Still trying to find his notes. "Reid Jared. Call me Reid." "Okay Reid whatever. There you are you pieces of shit!" He pulled out the pieces of papers and started organizing them. "Are you going to homecoming Casey?" Mitch asked as he played with a spiky part of my hair. "Not sure..." I looked over at Jared. "Are you Jared?" "Yeah with Crystal. You can tag along if you want but I rather you didn't if you catch my drift." He gave me a wink and started sorting his notes. "I guess not..." Not that I really cared for it. To many people acting like jackasses. "Seeing as I have no one who wants to go with me. "I see well I hope you find someone who will." Mitch gave me a wink and walked off. "Well that was strange..." I looked at Mitch's retreating figure and turned to look at Jared. He was desperately trying to get his notes in order. I doubted that he knew that he put little numbers on the side. "Don't you think so?" "I think what?" I took away his papers and started sorting them out. "He wanted to know if I had a date for Homecoming and left saying that he hoped that I find someone to go with." "Well from what I heard about him he is suppose to be a nice guy. So I don't think it means much. Well you are becoming his friend now I think. Probably wanted to know if you could double with him or something." "Double with him?" I handed him his notes and closed his locker. "Yup he usually goes out with a girl every other month or so. Never really works out though. Probably just wants sex like I do and they don't give it to him. He probably gets more tail than I do." Jared shook his head and put his arm around my shoulder again. "I see..." I knew it he was just being friendly. I smiled. "Well I was wondering about something but I guess you answered my question." He could be a guy like Jared straight but like to hang out with gay guys. I ignored the disappointment. "Whatever you say." Jared nodded to a few people before taking his arm off me and heading to his class. I wondered if I should even ask anyone. Who knows it could be fun. "You are Casey right?" I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around. It was a girl about the same height as me with red hair and light blue eyes. "Yes and you are?" I tilted my head and thought for a bit. Did I know her? People talked to me a few times out of nowhere but I don't think I remembered her. "I'm Jessie..." She took my hand and shook it. "I was wondering if I could ask you something?" "If you are wondering if I'm gay then don't waist your breath since I am." She giggled. "Not that I knew that but I was wondering if you would go to homecoming with me?" "Why? You don't know me." I raised an eyebrow at her. "True but I have heard about you though..." She scratched her head and blushed. "Please will you go with me? I don't have anyone I want to go with. My friends told me you were nice so I said why not." "Okay? So want my number or something?" She gave me a big smile. "That would be so awesome!" I gave her my number and she gave me a gigantic hug. "Trust me you won't regret it!!!" She ran off into some direction. I shook my head and noticed Mitch smiling at me. I waved at him and he winked at me before walking off.
