So let me know what you think or if you have any ideas on how to handle the Kurt situation cause ive been tosing up a few!! Anyway i hope u are still enjoying it! cheers Dane What Happened in Highschool Chapter 5 Great, a day with my ultra-conservative father and my sporty all-rounder brother Liam. I rolled my eyes at my father's comment about my face. "It's called a piercing." My father's eyes narrowed as he took me in. "Piercings are for girls." "Give him a break Ron." Mum butted in. "Now can we come inside?" He grudgingly let us inside. God what did mum ever see in the uptight prick? Liam came clumping down the stairs and gave mum a hug. Mum and The Father had been separated for about three years now. I had just turned sixteen and Liam was fourteen at the time. I had opted to go with mum since I had never really got along with my father and Liam who was the `golden child' had gone with my father. I smiled faintly at Liam who nodded back. We didn't dislike each other, we were just very different. We had our usual awkward lunch and made inane small talk. It became clear that my father was seeing someone. Some young socialite gold digger. Liam didn't look like he was entirely comfortable with the fact and I gave him a sympathetic smile. He smiled in return and I think that was our best bonding moment for three years. My father suddenly turned Gestapo on me and started grilling me about every aspect of my life. "Have you decided to grow up join a sports team yet or is that too much to ask?" He stuffed a bit of ham into his mouth as he stared me down. "Ron!" Mum exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. "No I'm still just being myself, though I did join the Students for Satan League a couple of weeks ago." My father stared at me with narrowed eyes as if he really wasn't sure if I was joking. "Always the smart arse. Sarcasm is for the weak minded." My mum groaned and rolled her eyes as well. "No Father, sarcasm is for the witty, humiliation is the tool of the weak minded." I told him as I buttered a piece of bread. He spluttered and mum chuckled. "Now see here-" He started but mum interrupted. "Leave him alone. He got you fair and square." My father grunted. "How are you going in school? Passing?" "Yes." And so the interrogation went on. Finally mum said she wanted to have a chat to my father and me and Liam were shunted off. We went outside and sat near the pool. The conversation was awkward and got even more so when Liam asked if I had a girlfriend. I cleared my throat. "I'm seeing someone." I said elusively and then turned the question back on him. He blushed. "No. Dad didn't like me seeing the girl I liked. He said she wouldn't understand me since she wasn't from the same background." I stared at him in shock. "Fuck! He said that? Liam man, you're allowed to see anyone you want. Don't take what the old bastard says for reality." Liam fidgeted. "He means well." I snorted and splashed him lightly. "As if! It's his image that has him concerned. Look Liam, this is going to sound clichéd and stupid but don't live your life to his expectations, live to your own." Liam gave me a sideways glance. "I think that's the first piece of brotherly advice you have given me." I grinned. "It was good wasn't it young grasshopper?" Liam laughed at me and nudged my shoulder. "Um, Matt?" "Yeah?" "Thanks." Warm and fuzzy was how I felt as I sat next to mum on the way home late that afternoon. Mum kept glancing at me with a puzzled look. "Ok, I give up! This is the first time we have left your fathers place and you have been smiling. What happened?" I smiled. "Nothing really. Just talked with Liam." "You guys getting along now?" Mum inquired in a quietly hopeful voice. "Mmm^Å Maybe." Mum couldn't hide the smile that broke out on her face. I woke up to something soft against my lips. A hand ran along my exposed arm. A tongue dipped into my mouth. I groaned, wrapping my arms around the body that hovered over me. "Hey babe. Missed you." A voice whispered sexily in my ear. I pulled the body down hard against me. "Aaron. Get under the blankets." He slid in next to me and I curled up against him, closing my eyes. "Where's mum?" I asked. "She was heading for the car when I pulled up." He whispered and his hand down my back to cup my arse. I smiled against his chest, suddenly feeling incredibly horny. I bit my lip sexily as I looked up at him. "Really? And where was she going?" It seemed like Aaron's eyes got darker as he used my butt to pull me closer to him. I could feel his hardon press against my pajama clad leg. "She's gone to do the groceries. Could be awhile." I let out an unmanly giggle. "What will we do in the meantime?" I ran my hand down his chest and brushed the waist of his pants. I pulled away and sat up. "Well I better have a shower." I started to get up but Aaron grabbed me and yanked me back down on the bed. He rolled on top of me so suddenly I was pinned to the bed. "I've got a better idea." He started to kiss my neck and all sane thoughts fled me. His knee went between my legs and I moaned as it brushed my inner thigh. This boy had more power over me than anyone I had ever known. Just as we were getting right into it, the doorbell rang. Aaron groaned. "Ignore it!" I was inclined to agree but when my phone started ringing I figured I better pick it up. "Hey!" It was Kyle. An annoyingly awake and cheerful Kyle. "Are you at home? Cause I'm at your front door!" Shit. I looked at Aaron apologetically as I relayed the message. I clumped down stairs still in my pajamas and opened the door. Aaron was behind me. "Hey! Oh^Å Hi Aaron!" Kyle said as he nearly bounced inside. The boy had a bit too much energy for me. Kyle was fairly tall and lanky with blonde hair and bright green eyes. He was cute and a year ago I had a secret crush on him. He was a good friend though but hopelessly straight. "Hi Kyle." Aaron said as he stepped inside. "What are you up to today?" "Got band rehearsal this afternoon but thought I would come hang out with you for awhile! What do you want to do?" He smiled winningly at me. I could tell him what I wanted to do and he was standing right next to me. Frustrated I bit back a groan. Aaron seemed happy though. "Well I just woke Matt up so I think he might want a shower and some brekkie." Kyle nodded and followed Aaron through to the kitchen. I sighed and called out that I was taking a shower. It didn't take me long to get rid of the edge of my frustration in the shower. Back in my room I saw my bedside clock and was shocked to see it was 8.00am on a Sunday. I was not a morning person but obviously I was surrounded by people who were. Morning people are a strange breed. Cheerful and bright at a time when all could think of was going back to bed or coffee. It took me awhile to function in the morning. Aaron had made me a toad in the hole and had it sitting on the table for me. An egg cooked in a hole in the middle of a piece of bread. I grinned at him. Aaron shrugged but gave me a soft smile I hoped Kyle didn't see. I sat down and tucked in. "So, me and Aaron were thinking we should maybe go for a swim at the blue lakes." The blue lake was a massive and really deep waterhole in an old quarry. The water was also a deep blue colour hence the name. It was a bit of a drive though but our group often went there during summer. I shrugged and went and got my bathers. We went via Kyle's place which was only a block from mine then Aaron's and picked up their bathers. It was turning out to be a progressively hotter day and the blue lake was fairly packed already. We hurried down the long steep path down to the water from the car park. A lot of Uni students came here because it wasn't far from Latrobe University. I pulled on my boardies quickly in the shade of a tree with the least amount of arse flashage possible. Then without waiting for the others I ran full pelt and took a leap off one of the rocks jutting out. I knew it was deep enough already so there wasn't any danger I would hurt myself. I swam around a bit until I was swamped by two simultaneous bomb dives from Aaron and Kyle. Spluttering we had a mini water fight and mucked around. Finally I told the guys I had to go put some sunscreen on. The other two smirked at me. They had taken a few moments to do that before jumping in. Grumbling I climbed out of the water and over to where our stuff was piled. Rather quickly too as the rocks where burning my feet. I dried myself off quickly and went about slopping sunscreen on. I was trying to reach my back when I heard someone behind me. "Need a hand?" I spun around to see a guy standing there. Truth be told, I was kinda expecting a girl because his voice was so feminine. He was tall and tanned with a toned body and blonde wavy hair. He looked like he was a Uni student. He smiled a dazzling smile at me. Then repeated himself when I failed to answer. "Huh? Oh. It's ok I'm almost done." I smiled at him. "You've missed spots though! Here." He took the sunscreen out of my hand, squirted a bit on his palm then motioned me to turn around. Surprised, I did. Hold on! Was he hitting on me? His hands were giving me more of a massage than rubbing sunscreen in. I could feel his body heat against my back. I had never been so blatantly hit on before and could help grinning to myself. The grin faded though when I heard a familiar voice. "What the hell is going on here?" Shit. I turned to see a furious Aaron, arms crossed and narrowed eyes. Kyle stood next to him a thoughtful look on his face. "This fella here is just putting some sunscreen on my back." I answered mildly. I turned and picked up the sunscreen and put it in my bag. I heard a frustrated groan then I was grabbed around my waist and pulled against a still damp but firm body. I knew it was Aaron and felt myself melt against him. "Look mate, he's my boyfriend so you can stop ogling him." Aaron's voice was a bit possessive and I found myself kinda turned on by it. That in itself was surprising because I always thought I would get pissed at that kind of jealous macho posturing. It was hot. The guy shrugged, winked at me and sauntered off. Aaron gripped me tighter. When the guy was out of hearing range he let go and turned on me. "What were you thinking letting him put sunscreen on your back? He was staring at your arse when you turned around! The guy was obviously hitting on you!" Aaron looked stressed out. I just smiled. "Jesus! He was just being friendly! Why are you so freaked out? I'm hardly gunna run off and do the dirty with him in the bushes over there." Aaron was still breathing as if he had been running. "Matt!" He looked like he wanted to strangle me. Suddenly he yanked me against his body again, holding me in a hug. It was at the moment I realized two things. One we were in public and hugging with Aaron acting all possessive. Two we were in public and hugging with Aaron acting all possessive in front of Kyle. Shit. I glanced at him and he watched me with an eyebrow raised and a slight grin on his face. "Um, Aaron. We have a few things to explain to Kyle." Aaron let go of me and turned to Kyle. "Shit I'm sorry Matt I wasn't thinking! Look Kyle Matt is just the same person he was before-" Kyle cut him off before he launched into a full blown explanation. "Yeah I know." Kyle smiled. "Me and the others have suspected Kurt was gay for a long time so we've had awhile to get use to the concept." I glanced at Aaron out of the corner of my eye and saw him frown at the mention of Kurt. "Speaking of Kurt." Kyle looked over my shoulder. There, coming down the path was Yaz, Abby, Kurt and Jay. I could already see Aaron's eyes narrowing. This was going to interesting.
