Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:31:32 -0500 From: kell1reilly2@aim.com Subject: The Real Dream-7 Monday, I woke to the sound of my alarm clock. I got up out of bed & grabbed some clothes for the day & headed to the bathroom. I shut the door & turned the water to the shower on. I got out of my t-shirt & boxers & waited for the water to dry up. As I waited I looked at myself in the mirror. I wondered if I had changed over the last month & a half. Both physically & emotionally. I realized that my body had become a little more tan, probably from being outside in the sun with Jamie a lot more. I had a swimmer's body, probably from all the exercise trying to impress Jamie. I had a haircut yesterday. A real haircut. I had sort of let my hair grow to about the bottom of my ears for the last 4 years. But I had it cut the other day, Sunday. It was short. I could gel it like I use to, but it looked so new to me, even though it was short like this when I was little. My dark blue eyes looked cold. It was going to be an interesting day. I had to think about all the things happening in the last month. Boyfriend, loss of a friend, A+ in math, & respect for a lot of people. I don't know why for the last one, but someone noticed it & told me. When Ben dropped me off, I went to my friends, him to his. I met up with Todd, Michelle, Gabe & of course, Jamie. Everything went as normal, until history. "Class, this is Jay Darly. He's from New York & this is his first class here at Miami Beach High School, so make some room for him, alright?" said Mr. Sandz. I took a look at Jay. He was average looking, but I knew s would like him soon. Short curly brown hair, brown eye, couple freckles, a little short, but a good looking kid all-around. Two periods later, I found Jay & asked if he wanted to sit at my table. He agreed & we hit it off super fast. I introduced him to everyone at the table & they all seemed to like the guy. He reminded me of Greg, his personality. The rest of the day went by normally, except that when I asked Jamie if he wanted to come over, he said he couldn't because he had to babysit the kids down the street. Then, Jay came over after Jamie left & asked if I wanted to go to his house. I was surprised that he was already asking people if they wanted to come over, but I agreed. I went on his bus & it took awhile until his stop. We got off & went inside. It looked almost all set up for a family that had just moved here. "Hey, wanna go upstairs to my room?" he asked. "Sure." As I went into his room, I noticed a lot of posters of bands from the old days. The only way I knew some of them were from the music my folks listened to. There were some oldies songs I actually liked, secretly of course. "I don't know all these people, but I do know some. Have you met all these people?" I asked. "You betcha." "That's pretty cool. Would they recognize you if someone mentioned your name to them?" I don't know why I asked this, expecting the answer to be "no". "Some, but not all. Like I'm sure that if someone mentioned 'Jay Darly' to Stevie Wonder, then I'm sure he'd be like 'Oh yeah!'" said Jay. "Ha! That's cool." "Yup." I don't know why, but I was very interested in his room. Nothing special about it, just a regular teen boy's room. So then why was it catching my eye? I would never know. "Ok. Hey let me ask you something. Are you in a relationship?" Jay asked. That totally surprised me. "Why?" I said, carefully avoiding the question. "Well I um...kinda have a crush on your friend Michelle & I was wondering if you knew how to get her to like me." I was laughing on the inside. Nobody had like Michelle since like 1st grade, when Todd did, but after 5th grade, he didn't like her anymore. I knew Michelle pretty good. I wasn't her best friend, but I was sure there was something I could do. "Uh, yeah, I mean I can try to find out for you, but it'll take some time. If i go to her soon, she'll probably know automatically" I said. "That makes sense." "So, what do you want to do?" he asked. "I don't know, what ever is fun I guess." "Well, I wouldn't wanna do something that's boring." We took a little a walk on a trail that led to Adle Street, which leads right to the beach. We had on swimsuits, me with an extra pair of his on. We went to the beach & mostly just swam around in the water. It was nice, even though the water freezing. When we got back after 2 straight hours in the ocean, we showered & got all the salt off. Then we played video games for awhile, followed by some t.v. I was beat by the time I said I should get home. We had barely talked the whole time, but yet we knew so much about each other already. When I got home, I said hi to Ben & went up to my room. I listened to some music & chatted on AIM, eventually leading up to me doing my homework. When I was done, I checked it over & put it away, glad that it was all done. I watched t.v. while we ate dinner. Two & a Half Men was funny. I went back to AIM, music & had a couple of wank sessions while talking to Jamie, due to some dirty things he was saying. When I cleaned myself up, I got a loose t-shirt & a pair of boxers & went into the bathroom to take a shower. I went to bed about an hour later. The next day, I woke up & was greeted with the Miami sun through the window, & an awful pain right in my head & a sore throat. I sat up & put my hands to my forehead, wincing a little & making painful noises, which were apparently heard by dad. "Tan, what's a'matter?" "My head hurts so much right now. Ahh..." I said. "Well let's see then." He came over & felt my head. His hand was freezing to my forehead, which felt nice. But if it felt cold, then that meant... "You got a fever kiddo" he said. I groaned, both in pain & in knowing that I had a Spanish quiz today & the make-up would be much harder than the real thing. I regretted going in the water the other day, even though it was fun... "I'll tell mom, she'll call the school & tell them that you're in bed, ok?" "Alright. But I have a Spanish quiz today & the make-up is going to be impossible" I said. "What do you mean impossible?" he asked me. "Every re-take that SeƱorita Tobin gives is always like a million times harder than the original." "You saying you want to go to school?" he pointed out. "No, but I'm just saying that it's going to be so much harder." "Well then you'll have to study more, won't you?" he said as he left the room. I didn't want to study more. I had studied for 2 hours for the past 3 nights. It wasn't fair. Too bad that I couldn't take the original quiz while still not having to go to school. Then again, why not just change the wish to 'too bad we can't be educated while not going to school.' About 10 minutes after my family had left, I realized that I was just not in the mood to beat off, look at pics, or anything other than just sit around & watch t.v. I tried to take a nap, but then I hear the doorbell ring. I was in nothing but boxers, but I didn't care. I got up from the couch & opened the door. "Hi Tanner!" "Jamie?! What are you doing here?!" I was freaking out; I didn't want Jamie to get in trouble for playing hooky just because I was a little under the weather. "Visiting you, Tan" he giggled as he skipped inside. He was hyper. "Why?" "'Cause I want to, duh" he said. His hands were shaking; he was sugar high, again. "I had no idea." "Tan, what's wrong? It's like you don't want me to be here" he said, looking a little hurt. "It's not that, it's that I don't want you to get in trouble for playing hooky just to visit me." He started to laugh. Either I was missing something, or he was high. I was really hoping for my first option. Then he explained himself being here. "Dude, I was suppose to have a medical exam today, but Dade Hospital called & said that my exam would have to be moved to next week because some fire at a bar was filling up every room they had, even rooms not used by current patients. "Anyway, since I wasn't ready for school, my mom let me stay home. So I decide to visit you, hoping you were still here before you left. Looks like I did. Wow, you must get ready pretty damn fast if you still look like this at this time" he splurted out at once. I barely caught anything he had said. "That's because I'm not going to school today" I replied. "How come?" "I'm sick." "Oh" he pouted. Then a smile lit up his pretty boy face. "We could play doctor..." he cooed, as he kissed my neck. "I want to, but I don't want to give you anything. Plus, I'm way too tired anyway." "Ok, but how 'bout I give you some stuff?" he teased. "Jamie..." "Ok ok. You wanna take a nap?" "Yes" I sighed. Jamie & I headed up to my room. I slipped into my cozy bed & watched Jamie undress to his bare bottom. I decided I'd take my boxers off, too. He climbed under the covers with me & gently kissed my neck. I was sick & falling asleep. Soon I could tell Jamie was also sleepy & he rested his head on my chest & started to fall asleep. Soon after, I also fell asleep. What a weird two days, but they were nice. http://realdream.10.forumer.com
