Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 13:29:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Tom Purser Subject: Spike and I Chapter 1 Disclaimer: Don't read this if you don't like stories about teens in love and occassionally having sex. Don't read if you aren't of age for your country to read this kind of material. I knew I was attracted to guys all my life, I just never quite understood what being gay was, or that it was anything different, until the 5th grade. That's when all the guys were running around telling everyone else that some other guys was gay to annoy that other guy. That's when I started to come to terms with my sexuality. I knew I like guys, I would check them out when no one was looking, and I knew that girls would never do, for me, what a good looking stud does for me. After I realized I was different and wouldn't fit in with the other guys my age. I decided to become somewhat of a loner. That's the way it stayed until I started going to High School. I had just started high school when my mother told me that we would be moving. I didn't really care. I had no real friends at my school to speak of and wasn't looking forward to going to high school with them. After only going to high school at Cheyenne for a quarter, we moved, I didn't like the school much from what I saw of it when I went there to register. It was a big two story building with a rattlesnake painted on the front of it. On the inside it was dirty, trash was thrown everywhere, and a few seniors were in the hallways. The school had a weird schedule for classes instead of going to all six classes; they went to four of their six classes with alternating classes. There were green days, orange days, and silver days. (Their school colors. Ugly huh?) It was my first day at my new school. The news said it was going to be a nice day. I woke up at 5:30am to my alarm clock. I sat up on the airmattress I had slept on. Turned of my alarm and got out of bed. I went into my closet and picked out my clothes for the day, a pair of baggy blue jeans, a pair of boxers, and a gray T-shirt. Then, went to the bathroom to take a shower. I pulled the shower curtain closed and turned on the water. I slipped out of my red and blue boxers, and took a long look in the mirror. The young teen I now saw in the mirror was not that lil' boy I saw 5 years ago went I looked in the mirror after realizing I was gay. This young teen was kindda cute actually with short light brown hair, and dark brown eyes. I stood about 5 foot 8. I silently told myself that today I was going to go to that school and make friends if it killed me. I then went over to the shower and got in to take a shower. After I finished my shower I got out clean and refreshed, got dressed, did my hair, brushed my teeth, and went out into the living room. As I sat there, I was wondering how the kids would like me, and if I would get lost. The time to go to the bus stop finally came. When I finally got to school, I had to go to the counseling office to get my schedule. So, I found my way through the herds of kids going every which way. When I finally got to the office after getting lost twice and having to ask someone where to go. I walked up to the front desk and told the lady there that I was Chris and I was told to come pick up my schedule here. She said," Ok, you're Christopher. Your Counselor is Mr. J. He's busy right now and hasn't made it up yet, so can you just have a seat and wait for him to finish?" I said," Sure, not like I'd know where else to go." She smiled at me and I sat down. I knew that this was going to be one of those days I wished I could stay in bed. After waiting about and hour a short thin man with brown eyes came out of a room and said," Chris?" I answered," Yea, that would be me." He said," Ok, come in to my office." I got up and walked in to his office. He told me to sit in a chair opposite of his desk, and then proceeded to sit down himself. He pulled out a lil' slip of paper and started writing on it. He told me," Since you have already started the school year at Cheyenne I'll leave you in the same classes. Okay?" I replied," Sure." With that he handed the piece of paper over with my schedule on it. He asked me," Would you like a tour of your classes?" I answered," That would be great. Thank you." At that he got up, opened the door to his office and asked for an aide. A tall black student walked in to his office wearing a letterman's jacket. Mr. J told the student to show me to all my classes. The boy then walked over to me and asked for my schedule. I gave it to him and he looked it over, and then turned around and told the counselor that he knew where the classes were and that he would take me to them. I gathered my backpack and jacket up and the student lead me out in to the lobby. He then asked me what my name was. I replied, "My name is Chris. What's yours?" He quickly replied," I'm Josh. Welcome to the worst four years of your life." he chuckled and we then proceeded to my first class, which was English. Josh then explained to me how the days and classes work out. On green days we have classes 1,2,4, and 5. On orange days we have classes 1,3,4, and 6. On silver days we have classes 2,3,5, and 6. All the time while meeting my teachers I kept thinking about how this was going to suck. After I went to my sixth period class (P.E. good grief I hate that class) and talked to the teacher I went back to the office and they asked me if I wanted to go to my first period. I looked at the clock and replied," Yea, it's almost over anyways." And then when to my first period which was English. I walked into a silent class it was almost like time had stopped seeing me walk in. I walked up to the teacher and asked where I was going to sit. She pointed to a desk next to a blonde haired boy with blue eyes, then she said," Next to Edward. Edward please raise your hand." The blonde god raised his hand up. I walked over and sat down without a word. I thought to myself," Wow this day is starting to look up." That's when he stuck his hand out and said," My name is Ed, but everyone calls me Spike. What's yours?" I took his hand shook it and told him," Hi, my name's Chris." (That's sounds so stupid. Huh?) He grinned and said," Nice to meet you. I'm fairly new here myself." I replied," I'm glad to know that I'm not the only new person here. How long have you been here?" Spike said," Just a few days. What classes do you have?" I handed him my schedule and he looked it over. After looking at it for awhile he stated," I have P.E. 6th hour too. I'm glad we don't have it today though. Mr. G is a real tight ass." And started to chuckle. I replied," Yea, that's what I've heard." Then the bell signaling that first hour was over rang. We jumped up and started on our way out the door. When we got to the door we stopped. He said," Hey I'll see ya at lunch, ok?" I answered," Yea, Bye." Spike said," Bye." And walked in the opposite direction I had to go. I got into my second hour class, which was Biology, and asked the teacher where should I sit. After getting a seat and a book assigned to me I asked when first lunch was. Mrs. S told me that first lunch started at the end of that class. I was overjoyed at the news. I only had to suffer through this one class before I saw Spike again. As the bell rang, signaling the start of second period, I started to look around to see if I knew anyone and to look at who was in the class. When I looked into the back right-hand corner of the room I saw a familiar face, but was not happy to see it. It was Joe, a former friend who had always been kind of slow if you know what I mean, He was about 5 foot with stringy black hair and ice blue eyes. He was a real pain in the ass near the end of our friendship. As I sat there in class looking at the new faces of my new classmates I soon met eyes with an angry Biology teacher. She must have been mad at me for being turned around in my seat. Mrs. S scolded," When the bell rings that means that you are in your seat doing you work, and FACING FORWARD." I replied hesitantly," I'm sorry ma'am. I didn't know." She growled," I can tell you're going to be a problem child already." And at that she turned and walked away form my desk. I turned around in my seat and started to do the work that was written on the board, as I thought about what a bitch Mrs. S is. I looked at the board and read the first question. At my old school I had went through a chapter a day. Apparently at this school they went slower, because they were only on chapter 5, so of course I knew the answer to the question. After about 10 minutes the teacher asked us to bring our papers to her desk, and we all did so. Mrs. S then assigned us to do the chapter review. I headed to work on the review, and soon after felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Joe, he said," Don't I know you?" I replied," I don't know. Do you know me?" He then gave me a weird look and rolled his eyes. Joe then turned around and returned to his desk. I thought," Thank God he didn't remember me. That's the last thing I need; is some jerk talking to me." I then returned to work. It wasn't long before the bell rung, signaling that it was time for lunch. I gathered up my things and left to go find Spike. I left the class and went downstairs to the quad. There I saw him. He looked so good. I just wanted to run up to him and give him a big hug or something. I held myself back and walked over to him. I said," Hi, how are you doin'?" He replied," Hi. I'm fine. What's crackin'?" I replied," I'm fine. My biology teacher is a bitch though." He goes," You have Mrs. S, don't you?" I said," Yea, how'd you know?" He said," I have her for biology 4th period and she's a real bitch." I asked," So, what are we going to do now?" He quickly replied," Well, we re going to get something to drink and go sit down. Is that a problem with you?" I chuckled shaking my head, and we left for the soda machine. When we got to the machine we both got Sprites, and left the Cafeteria to go find a seat outside. When we sat down, we got to talking about our old schools, teachers and parents. I sat there listening to him talking about how he has been to 4 different schools in the past 3 years and that he has lived or been in almost every state. I watched his mouth as he talked he had the best lips, small and oh so kissable. He must have noticed I was staring. He asked me," Dude, what's the matter why are you looking at me like I have a booger hanging?" I laughed and replied," Nothing. I just thought I saw something on your face." He went on with his stories of his life. After we talked about how his mom moved from California, because he ditched so often to go to the beach, he asked me about my parents. I told him that my dad died when I was young and my mom is rarely home, because she has to work 2 jobs. He laughed and this weird smirk came across his face. Then he asked me," Where do you live?" I replied, "Over in the new houses by the Eldorado Houses." He said," Cool, I do too. Hey can I come over?" I nodded yes. Just then the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. I walked with Spike until we had to split up. Then I went to Spanish. Dr. Herbluis was an ok teacher. He told me to sit in the first row three seats back. I was ahead of this class too though. I knew how to conjugate verbs, and they were just learning. So, that class was going to be fairly easy. I sat in the class watching the hours pass until the bell rang, signaling the end of 4th period. I gathered up my stuff and ran outta class and got to my fifth hour, which was Careers. Mrs. Oranchak was really good at teaching. She let us work in groups and stuff. I couldn't wait to get out of there and go down the hall to see Spike again. It wasn't to long after I thought that did the bell ring, I shouted," Oh Boy! School's out!!" (Is it just me or do I seem to get cheesier throughout this story?) and ran out of the class and down the hall to wait for Spike to get out. He walked out of his class and he looked better than the last time I saw him. I walked up to him and said," Hey!!" He turned around and said back," Hey!! Come on let's go." We walked out to our bus and hopped on it. We talked about different things on the way home, like how many pets we had, what our families were like, how we liked our new houses, stuff like that. We took the bus to the first stop and got off. I was shocked to find out that he lived directly behind me. "How ironic!" I thought to myself. We walked up to my house, and I said," Excuse all the boxes; we haven't had time to unpack them." He replied," That's alright; neither have I." We walked in and I gave him a small tour. I pointed out the kitchen and told him to help himself to whatever he wanted. "I wish he would help himself to me." I thought to myself. I turned around to ask him if he wanted a soda. He said," Can I be forward with you?" I replied," Sure man, what's on your mind?" That's when, without any notice, He leaned over and kissed me. Seeing him come at me that fast startled me and I stepped back hitting my head on the wall. He pulled back, and started turning red, and trying to apologize. I walked closer to him, and said," Don't worry about it. Just the suddenness of it all startled me. I like you too." That's when I leaned over and kissed him. We spent the rest of the day on the couch making out. When my mom got home. I introduced Spike to her. Then, Spike said that he had to leave. I walked out with him and told him I had to ask him something. He turned and asked," what's your question?" I replied," Why did you just kiss me without knowing I was gay?" He said," Cuz, I saw ya staring at me and figured it was worth a shot. Well, I gotta go, so see ya tomorrow. Bye." I said," Oh ok. Bye." I turned and went inside. My mom gave me a funny look and asked me if I would help her unpack some tonight after dinner. I said," Sure. What's for dinner?" She said, "Spaghetti." I walked into my room and laid on the bed. As I lay there thinking about how good of a kisser Spike was I suppose I dosed off, because the next thing I know my mom is banging on my door telling me that dinner is done. I woke up, walked out into the kitchen, and ate dinner. After dinner I helped unpack the boxes until 10pm. At 10pm I went to bed. That night I dreamed of Spike, and how this might be the beginning of a beautiful thing. That's it for this chapter. Stay tuned for the rest of the chapters to come along.
