Alan suddenly said out of the blue, drawing Alex out of his trance. "What...oh it's going fine...what about you and Wyatt?" Alex asked. Alan looked up and saw Wyatt sitting on the track above the floor of the gym. He had his book out and was doing some homework while he waited for Alan to finish the basketball tryouts. Suddenly, as if sensing him, Wyatt looked down and locked eyes with Alan for a moment. He waved to him, and Alan waved back. "We're going great. We're spending Halloween together at my house. His mom and dad are going out for a party, so it's just me and him," Alan said with a smile. A knowing smile appeared on Alex's face as well, since he knew what they probably would do. "So... are either of you out to your parents yet?" Alex asked. "Not yet, neither of us are really ready to, and to be totally honest I don't know if we even know what we are yet." "What'd you mean?" "Well, like I really do love Wyatt, and he feels the same about me, but I still think girls are hot. He's told me the same thing, and we've even jacked off to straight porn a few times." "So maybe you're bisexual. I mean I'm pansexual, Martin's bisexual, and you don't have to be gay to have a boyfriend." "Yea I guess that's true. Well it's not important right now. I have Wyatt, and that's all that matters, I can come out later. Oh, how've you and Martin been since you guys came out?" "Fine, a few douche bags said some things but the teacher got them to shut up pretty quick." "That's how it usually is. So where's Martin at anyway? I thought he wanted to try out?" "That's a good question," Alex said as he pulled out his phone to check for calls or text messages. Alex had convinced Martin try out for two reasons. First off, Martin wasn't half bad, and was pretty athletic so he would catch on fairly quickly with practice. Second, and most important, being on the basketball team gave Alex more time to see him naked, or wet, or sweaty, or all three. To hell with getting a boner in the locker room, everyone already knew he was dating Martin. "So he does know, October 15th, Monday, 4:00, the school gym right?" Alan said going through the date slowly, but more out of jest than actually being serious. "Yea, yea, he knows, he's just taking his time like al...." but just before he could finish the door to the gym flew open and out popped Martin dressed in tight fitting athletic gear and black high top basketball shoes. "Sorry I'm late guys," Martin said as he walked down the bleachers to sit next to Alex. "Sheesh what took you forever?" "I had to talk to a teacher about joining a club. I was thinking about math club." "Nerd," Alan retorted quickly "Ultra-nerd powers ACTIVATE!!!" Alex joined sarcastically. "Screw you both," Martin replied. "Well you can only choose one, and since I'm your boyfriend, it better be me," Alex said as he scooted closer and got extremely close to Martin's face. "If you keep calling me a nerd I might just choose Alan," Martin said in a dark but playful tone. "Sorry, I think Wyatt might murder you if you try that Martin. Or at the very least, lock you far away so you can never get to me again." "Would he really be the type to do that?" Alex asked, slightly in disbelief that Wyatt would be very protective. From the way Wyatt acted in school, it would seem more like Alan was the protector and Wyatt was the protected. "Trust me, when it comes to me and him, he's a totally different animal than how he acts in school." "Really, how so?" "He's very protective and very, very adventurous," Alan said. "Seriously?" "Seriously. "Hmm...I wouldn't have guessed that," Alex said, genuinely not expecting Wyatt to have a protective side to him, much less an adventurous one. He just seemed like a Mr. Goody to him. "Neither would I," Alan replied, somewhat in disbelief himself. He looked back up to the track again and watched the boy hard at work on his homework. He was laid out on his stomach; his feet up in the air and his headphones on as he rested on his elbows. His red hair was glowing in the light and his clothing loosely covered his body. Alan really felt lucky that he had such an amazing boyfriend. "Ok everyone, sorry we're starting late. I had to get some last bits of paperwork. So to begin were going to start off with the drills. Here is the first list..." Coach Hudson announced. With that the boys began the drills. The entire time, Martin, Alan, and Alex pushed their hardest to impress the coach and make the cut for the basketball team. All the drills were fairly basic for Alex and Alan since both had been on the team, but for Martin it was a bit of a struggle. He had played before, but it had been a while. Suddenly, right in the middle of practice, the gym door opened. Martin and Alex looked up to see a boy dressed in expensive athletic gear. The light was shining on him and lit up his brown hair and eyes. To say the least, he could have caused nearly anyone to swoon; everyone except the one he wanted most. "Sorry Coach. I already told you why I'd be late though" "That's fine Caleb, just start on some lay-ups with everyone else." Alex and Martin both looked over at Caleb. Alex appeared shocked, while Martin looked like he would murder Caleb. Neither was expecting him to show up, since he knew that they'd both be trying out for the team. Caleb put his bag down and walked past them to get a basketball. As he walked over to line up for a shot Alex suddenly spoke to him. "You're going to be on the team?" he asked in slight disbelief. "Can I not have that either?" Caleb asked flatly Alex felt a sting of pain pierce through him. He knew the reference, and it hurt that Caleb would bring it up again. "You didn't have to say that," Alex said in a hurt tone. Just then Caleb made a shot and turned around to lock eyes with Alex. "And you didn't have to lead me on," Caleb said flatly, just as the basketball fell through the hoop, perfectly without even touching the net. Caleb walked over to retrieve it and shoot again. Alex felt an even stronger pain shoot through him and he shook a bit. Martin quickly came over and began to walk past Alex. "What the hell did that bastard say to you?" Martin asked in a forceful whisper. "Nothing." "Bullshit. What did he say?!" "Nothing!" Alex repeated more forcefully this time. "Let's just finish up the tryouts and go," Alex said quickly. Martin looked at Caleb, and then at Alex. "Fine." By the end of the tryout, the coach had announced those who made the cut. Alan, Alex, and Martin all ended up on the team. Of course, Caleb did as well. In fact, Caleb did extremely well, so much so that Alex was surprised at his skills. He and Alex had always been two of the best players on the team, but Caleb's performance...it was just so much more. Martin, Alex, and Alan had finished up and were talking in the parking lot, along with Wyatt, as the four boys prepared to head their separate ways and go home. "Well anyway, I look forward to playing with both of you on the team," Alan said as he gave one last high-five to both Alex and Martin. "We look forward to it as well. You two don't have too much fun now," Martin said with his signature mischievous smile. "Oh I can't promise anything like that," Alan said as he pulled Wyatt close, and took a quick squeeze of Wyatt's butt. "Hey!" Wyatt said playfully with a scrunched up smile. "Anyway, we'll see you guys tomorrow," Alan said as he walked over with Wyatt to grab their bikes. Their departure left just Martin and Alex alone in the parking lot outside the gym. They started to walk towards the bike rack when they both heard the gym door open from behind. They quickly turned around to see Caleb standing there in the fading sunlight. "Alex," Caleb called out. "What?" Alex asked back. "Wanted to let you know, I already talked to coach about it. I'm going to be captain of the team this year," Caleb said flatly. "Wait, I thought he chose that later?" Alex said, confused. "I talked to him about it beforehand. I showed him my skills, and since I did so well last year, he decided to put me in that position," Caleb said. "Oh ok" Alex said, trying to end the conversation quickly. He could sense the awkwardness descending, and felt the tension between Caleb and Martin. The entire time they were speaking, Alex had the impression that Martin might just lunge for Caleb's neck at any moment. Caleb on the other hand seemed just to want to provoke both of them, but in particular, Martin. Caleb started to walk towards them and then stopped. He was closer now, but still kept some distance between them. Martin had changed his footing so he now took a more offensive stance. "So you're playing this year?" Caleb said loathingly. "Yea I am," Martin said back in the same tone. The two locked eyes, and again Alex could feel the two forces clashing. Both equally driven, both angry, both filled with hate. Caleb narrowed his eyes. "Don't fuck up my team," Caleb sneered. Martin's nostrils flared and he took a step closer. "Why don't I just fuck you up, asshole," Martin said angrily. A small, pained, and almost evil looking grin appeared on Caleb's face as he met and locked eyes with Alex. "Sorry that's reserved for someone already. I think you know him quite well" Caleb said with a small laugh and turned around as he started to walk away. "Are you still after him?! He already said no, you fucker," Martin shouted in anger. "I know," Caleb said as he continued to walk away. Martin started to storm towards Caleb and began to clench his fists. "How about I just beat that idea out of you right now you bastard!!" Martin shouted as he began to run toward Caleb. But before Martin could advance any further, Alex grabbed him from behind and held him close. "Dude just let it go!!" Alex shouted, trying his best to keep Martin from attacking Caleb. Martin calmed down and relaxed in Alex's embrace. Caleb turned around and looked at them one more time. He didn't say anything though, and just continued on his way out of the gym parking lot towards the front of the school. "See you at practice Wednesday," Caleb shouted without facing them. "I can't believe that asshole," Martin said in a huff as he walked into his house. He threw down his stuff as Alex followed quickly followed behind. "Dude, you just have to let it go..." "Are you defending him?!" Martin shot back angrily. "NO! Dude I'm not saying what he did was right, I'm just saying if we're going to all be on that team, you two have to just get along." "Just get along? With him?!" "Fine, just don't kill each other or beat the shit out of each other," Alex said in exasperation. Alex walked over to the couch, sat down, and let out a sigh. Martin walked over and sat down next to him and pulled him into a close embrace. "Why was he acting like that though?" Martin asked, calmly now. "Well, I mean I can't really blame him. He came out to his parents, hoping he would date me. His mom ended up leaving because he's gay and now his parents are divorcing. Dude, he's gone through a lot of shit, just give him some lee-way," Alex said as he rubbed his fingers over the top of Martin's hand. "That does suck, well I guess I can give him some lee-way" Martin finally relented. "Thanks babe," Alex said as he leaned in and kissed Martin on the lips. He then pulled him in closer, kissing him more passionately and using his tongue. The two continued, and their play quickly escalated to making out on the couch. Finally, they pulled back to gasp for breath and were heaving by the end of it. "God, how long has it been since we've done anything like that?" Martin asked. "I don't know actually," Martin said, trying to think back to the last time the two did anything sexual. Suddenly, Martin reached down into the basketball shorts Alex was wearing and began to rub his penis. "Far too long in my opinion," Martin said with a mischievous grin. "It's a school night dude?" Alex replied, a hint of concern in his tone. "I know," Martin replied. "Corey and your parents are home!" "I know." Alex sat there with a humorous smile on his face. "You're really that horny?" "I know," Martin replied. Both boys began to laugh until Martin placed his hand on Alex's mouth and then took his hand as he led him upstairs to his room. As they walked up the stairs Corey passed by and stopped them quickly. "Hey how did tryouts go?" Corey asked. "Fine, we're both on the team now," Martin said as he started to try to walk away with Alex quickly. "That's great...hey, wait, where are you two going?" Corey suddenly asked in confusion. "To my room," Martin replied quickly. "To?" "What else?" Martin said, flashing his grin. Corey rolled his eyes and stared walking down the stairs. "Horny middle schoolers," Corey said as he walked away. The two boys quickly flew into Martin's room. He then locked the door, and in record time, he was completely naked and totally hard as well. "That was really fast," Alex said, somewhat shocked. "You're just not going fast enough," Martin said playfully. Alex then quickly stripped off his clothing and the two landed on Martin's bed. Almost immediately, their bodies were intertwined as they passionately made out and rubbed against each other. Alex loved the feeling of Martin's skin on his. He savored the warmth that he felt and how he could hear Martin's heart beat when they cuddled afterwards. Martin bent down and dove to begin licking the center of Alex's chest. He loved to lick Alex, and the taste was almost like ecstasy for him. Alex then took in Martin's scent as he let his nose run through his straight blonde hair. The smell was like no other, and it always intensified his passion. "I wanna try something new," Martin said as he sat up to straddle Alex. "What?" Alex said, curious and excited at the prospect of trying something new with Martin. "Here just let me guide you," Martin said as he took a hold of Alex's hard penis. He began to guide it up towards his butt and then placed the tip of his cockhead so it penetrated into the crease. "Wait, are we going to...." Alex said, suddenly panic stricken and unsure if he really wanted to proceed. "No we're not doing that! Here, I'll show you," Martin said as he pulled Alex's penis in so it was fully in his crease. He then began to move up and down so that Alex's penis was rubbing in between the globes, with the tip running over his anus, giving both Martin and Alex an amazing feeling. "My god, that feels....incredible!" Alex said in ecstasy as his tip again rubbed over Martin's anus. The heat emitted from Martin helped to build on the stimulation, which drove Alex insane. He began to feel himself getting close, and wondered why he had never done this before. Then he felt Martin take his hand and bring it forward so it was resting on his own rock hard erection. "Could you do mine?" Martin said with a smile, as he heaved from the feelings that pulsed through his body. Alex grasped Martin's penis and began to jack it off, gently moving his foreskin back and forth over the ultra-sensitive tip to avoid hurting him. The senses were overwhelming for both boys. The heat, the touch of their skin, the smell, the sweat, it was driving them over the edge far more quickly than before. "Martin...I'm...I'm going to..." "Then do it!" Martin said as he reached his hand under Alex and pulled him up so that he could lean down and begin to passionately make out with him. That was the final straw for Alex. He felt the feelings again overtake him as he began to cum over Martin's back. The spurts shot up into his crease, partway up his back, and the rest oozed down onto his anus. The feeling of Alex's cum drove Martin over the edge. As he came, the spurts landed on Alex's chest and began to leak out over his navel. The feelings were like never before. Both boys had never experienced an orgasm that intense, or one that generated that much cum. The sensation alone nearly knocked both boys out. They immediately collapsed on the bed and began to heave from the amazing orgasm. "Holy shit...what was that?" Alex said as he scooped up some of the cum from his chest. "I think that's called puberty," Martin said with a laugh. Martin turned on his bed lamp and the boys looked at the thick ooze that had landed on Martin's back and Alex's chest. "It's a lot whiter," Martin said as he looked at it and began rubbing it in between his fingers. "It also tastes saltier," Alex said as he smacked his lips a bit. It didn't taste as sweet as it used to, and it had a bit more musk, and he kind of enjoyed it. "You're right...but I like it" Martin said as he tasted the cum as well. "I do to," Alex said. "So is this part of it?" "I think so; I remember reading about it somewhere online." "Hmm...well this doesn't seem bad so far," Martin said. "Yea well wait until Acne, my brother has to use this cream all the time, and it still shows up every now and then," Alex said, since he knew it was just around the corner. "Well, then we'll just use that cream and avoid it." "Acne or not, you're still beautiful in my eyes, and always will be," Alex said as he leaned in to steal another kiss from Martin. The two lingered for a moment with their foreheads touching and their mouths only inches from each other. Both boys remained that way for several seconds, fully naked, sitting on their knees on the bed as the soft light illuminated their skin. "I love you Alex." "I love you too Martin," Alex replied. "God, I missed that feeling so much" Corey said as he leaned back and let Jacob's tongue explore his body. He loved having the feeling of Jacob's tongue going over his nipple, which always managed to turn him on even more. "We did this only yesterday though," Jacob said playfully as he came up to start kissing Corey on the lips again. "Yea I know, but slightly less than 24 hours is a long time to wait," Corey said. "I just think you're one horny Aussie," Jacob said as he licked Corey's lips. "Maybe so, but your equally horny. Besides we're both developing more now. You've got way more pubes now," Corey said as he ran his hand through Jacob's now somewhat developed patch. Over the last few weeks a lot more had grown in, and now a patch of dark pubes covered the skin above his cock. His penis had even grown slightly, as well as his balls. "Yea but so have you," Jacob said. And indeed, Corey had developed a patch of blonde pubes, and his own genitals had grown. "Well the only thing I think I'll miss, is your voice. Once it drops, it'll start cracking and it won't have that pretty higher pitched sound to it anymore," Corey said. Jacob blushed at the sudden compliment, since he had always been self conscious about his voice being higher pitched. "It's not pretty sounding," Jacob said, as he looked away a bit. Corey pulled him down so the two were now lying on top of each other as he kissed Jacob's cheeks and brought his mouth close to his ear. "I think every part of you is beautiful. It's why I think you're so amazing. Even when we're 70 years old, I'll still think you're beautiful," Corey said in a light whisper. Jacob shivered, because the thought of him being with Corey that long had actually crossed his mind several times before. "Corey, have you ever thought that there was...." "More to this relationship?" Corey said, finishing Jacob's sentence. "I...yea...do you think that?" "I've thought it several times," Corey said. "I've just always got this weird feeling that this is going to last. I mean I know we haven't been together long, but something is telling me there's more to this," Jacob whispered into Corey's ear. He was actually a bit afraid of telling Corey these thoughts, since he didn't want to seem desperate or clingy. He really didn't want Corey to think he was some weirdo who was forcing him into a relationship and expecting it to last for all eternity. But in all honesty he kept getting this weird feeling that this really was going to last. He knew that he was young, that this was first love, and that he had never had an experience outside of dating Corey, but still this feeling persisted against all logic. He really did wonder if maybe he and Corey were meant to be. He had had several visions of them growing old together, raising a family, living every moment with each other. He just found it hard to imagine his future without Corey in it. Jacob then pulled Corey in closer and began to kiss him passionately as the two let their bodies exchange warmth and rub up against the other's silky skin. "I love you so much Corey," Jacob said as he pulled Corey in tight. Corey pulled him in tight as well as he began to rub Jacob's back and moved down so he was massaging his lower back and butt. "I love you too Jacob," Corey whispered back into Jacobs's ear. It was Wednesday afternoon, and the team had just finished with practice. All of the players had to get used to their new positions, and the coach ran them through quite a practice. Caleb had also directed where the players should be, and he seemed to have a tendency to place Alex near himself, and Martin quite a distance away. It was obvious as to why, but the two let it slide. "Ok boys, good job today. Alex, sorry but you're on call today," Coach Hudson said. "Awwww...crap," Alex said. To be "on call" basically meant that he had to clean off the court and put away the basketballs that day. Every member had to do it several times a year and it rotated based on a random chart the coach made. "I'll wait for you after," Martin said. "You better," Alex said with a sly grin. The boys all huddled into the locker room and started to either change into their clothes so they could shower at home, or strip to shower off there and then head home. Martin decided that since Alex was on call, he had enough time to shower at the gym. He quickly took off his clothes and grabbed his shampoo and body wash. He then headed for the shower and let the water run over his body. It felt great to have it wash over his tense muscles and get the salt and sweat off of him. He wondered if he and Alex could massage each other when they got home. Actually he was sure they could, and would every time after practice. The idea brought a smile to his lips as he took the shampoo and began to lather up his hair. He let the suds run off onto his body and down to the drain beneath. The warm water felt really good; in fact, it started to feel just a bit too good, and he began to feel a hard-on arrive. Martin decided that he was finished anyway and turned the shower off and grabbed his stuff. Just as he started to walk to the entrance he saw Caleb suddenly turn the corner. Caleb was naked as well and was holding his shampoo bottle. Martin could clearly see that Caleb was just as built as himself, and had a few more pubes coming in down below. On top of that, and he really hated to admit it, really realllllyyyy hated admitting it, but Caleb was clearly bigger down there than Martin was. Caleb looked over Martin and then took a glance at his crotch. A smug smile came to his face and he let out a light chuckle as he walked pass to one of the shower heads. "What?" Martin said acidly. "Nothing, I was just thinking to myself," Caleb said back in a haughty tone. Martin decided he was going to let it go and started to walk out of the shower room until Caleb spoke up. "You know, it's too bad Alex was on call today. I was kind of looking forward to seeing him in the showers...again," Caleb added at the end quietly. "I don't know what you're talking about. Do I?" Martin said, hoping that if he acted like he didn't know, the conversation would end right there. "Oh please, I saw you in the bushes. I know you asked him about October, and I know he told you," Caleb said with a sly grin as he turned around to face Martin. "Well you won't ever get to do that with him again. He's mine, period," Martin said as he turned around again hoping that Caleb wouldn't make another comment. He felt his blood coming to a boil quickly. "Martin!" Caleb suddenly shouted, causing Martin to spin around quickly and lock eyes with him again. Caleb looked down at Martin's crotch for a moment and again a smug smile came to his face as he let out a laugh. "Wow that's sad," Caleb said. "What?" Martin said angrily. "That I lost to that," Caleb said as he placed his hand on his own package and pulled down on his penis a bit for effect. Fuming, Martin stormed forward. "How about you just shut the fuck up!" Martin said forcefully. "Make me," Caleb said in the same haughty tone. "Say another word and I'll just beat the shit out of you," Martin said as he narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, the other boys quickly gathered their stuff and all of them left the shower room. Now it was just Martin and Caleb with only Caleb's shower running. "Come at me," Caleb said as he raised his hands and waved his fingers towards himself. Martin had had it with Caleb, his attitude, and his attempts at Alex. He decided to end this now. Martin lunged forward and immediately brought a right hook up into Caleb's jaw, causing Caleb to stumble backwards into the shower room wall. Caleb initially felt shocked and surprised, since he didn't expect Martin to actually hit him, but his attitude quickly changed. He then charged forward and grabbed both of Martin's shoulders, which brought both boys tumbling to the ground. He began to punch into Martin's chest as Martin was trying to kick him off. Martin actually lost his breath for a moment, and was somewhat surprised at how strong Caleb actually was, but he still felt he had the upper hand. Martin managed to kick off Caleb and jumped up to his feet quickly. Just before Caleb had time to get up, Martin kicked Caleb directly in the center of his stomach, causing him to fall backwards and double over. He let out a yell through gritted teeth. Martin walked over and grabbed him by the shoulder and dragged him over to the shower room wall. He then lifted him up and threw him against the wall as he held him by the neck. He was about to punch him in the face, but Caleb lifted his legs up and kicked forward sending them both tumbling back onto the ground. The two boys started to flail around on the shower room floor as legs and arms went everywhere. Punches were thrown left and right. Grunts and yells echoed through the locker room as the two continued on their rampage against each other. Both boys were bruised up on their face and chest, and both were bleeding in different areas on their body. The others stood on and watched, no one wanting to get involved out of fear of being hurt. Suddenly, the locker room door flew up and Coach Hudson stormed in, and quickly got to the shower room. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!" Coach Hudson yelled as he entered. Neither boy stopped their rampage against each other and continued despite his entrance. "JEREMY, MICHAL STOP THEM FOR FUCKS SAKE!" Coach Hudson yelled. Jeremy and Michal were the two biggest players on the team, and they quickly grabbed and separated Martin and Alex. Both boys tried to escape and were flailing about, still wanting to throw another punch. "You two, get dressed now and get in my office! Make sure they don't kill each other in the meantime," Coach Hudson said. The two walked out of the shower room with Michal and Jeremy in tow to make sure they were kept separate. Just as they walked out, both heard a light gasp. They looked to their left to see Alex standing there. Martin felt ashamed, as did Caleb, and neither wanted to make eye contact with him. They let their eyes cast down to the ground. They went to their own lockers and quickly dressed and were escorted to Coach Hudson's office. The two boys sat down. "Jeremy, Michal, stay here. I don't want them to ruin my office," Coach Hudson said angrily. "Coach..." Caleb began but was quickly cut off. "Don't start. Ok, so I don't know or care what the hell is going on between you two. Just get it settled. Caleb, you're captain, you're supposed to lead by example..." "Coach I know but..." "Hey! I didn't say you could interrupt me," Coach Hudson said forcefully. "I'm sorry," Caleb said quietly. "Anyway you're captain, you're supposed to lead by example, and that was sure as hell not what I want my captain to be doing. If this becomes a problem, I may find someone better suited for the job," Coach Hudson said. Caleb's eyes suddenly grew wide as he moved back a bit; shocked that he could possibly lose the position of captain over this. "Martin, if you want to play on this team or at our games you better not let this happen again. If it becomes a problem, then you may not be playing on this team. Am I clear boys?" Coach Hudson said. "Yes coach," both boys said in unison. "Good, now get your stuff and go home. Friday's practice better go better," Coach Hudson said. Both boys walked out of the office and headed to the now empty locker room. Martin looked at his phone when he got in and read the text message that first came up. I thought I asked you to get along? I'm going home. Call me when you can control yourself Martin felt like an ass now and let his phone drop into his gym bag. "Fuck..." he said as he leaned against the locker and let out a sigh. He knew that Alex was pissed, and he knew that he had told him he would at the least try to get along with Caleb. But then again Caleb had really pissed him off, and had gone way too far that time. He was the one who kept provoking him, and he was trying to leave. So that left Caleb at fault, right? He just had to explain the situation to Alex and hoped that he could be forgiven. Plus, he didn't want to lose his position on the basketball team when he just got on it. He knew that Alex would be extremely pissed if he did that. He hoped that maybe Caleb would back off now that his position as captain was on the line. He might still treat him like a benchwarmer during practice, but maybe he would at least back off with the snide comments and being a dick to him. He grabbed his stuff and began to walk out of the locker room. He had reached the hallway that led out of the gym when he saw Caleb standing there just as he had ended a call. He started to walk away when Martin decided he wanted one last word. "So you gonna back off now?" Martin asked with an angry undertone in his voice. "I want to stay captain, but I still want Alex, and I'd much rather choose Alex over captain anyway," Caleb said coldly. "I'm not being kicked off the team because of you, and I'm not losing Alex to you. Besides, he told you no already. Back the fuck off," Martin said angrily. "No, I won't. I'll have Alex, one way or another." "You really are a shitty person," Martin said in disgust. "You must be talking about yourself, because I know Alex deserves someone better than you," Caleb said as he started to walk out of the gym. Just as Caleb left the gym, Martin decided to make one last comment, "I don't think your mom left because you're gay. I think she left because you're such a douche bag," Martin said as he walked out the door and went to his bike at the bike rack. Caleb suddenly stopped and his face contorted as he felt the tears again come to his eyes. He suddenly collapsed to the ground and started to breathe erratically as tears began to run down his cheeks. "MY MOM LEFT BECAUSE SHE WAS ARROGANT, NOT BECAUSE OF ME!!!!" Caleb shouted out through his fits of sobs. "Keep telling yourself that" Martin said back coldly. He didn't care that it was a low punch. He didn't care that he was being cold and hitting raw spots far too soon. This kid took low punches; he tried to steal Alex, was still wanting to steal him, and this had become personal. Caleb continued to sob uncontrollably at the entrance to the gym. Salty tears stung as they ran down his cheeks, and his lungs continued to force out gasps of breath. He had sobbed last night as well after his father had told him the divorce was final. He still felt he was to blame. Nothing made sense anymore, and the world had fallen apart. Martin got on his bike and rode off. He stopped and looked back to see that Caleb was still sobbing. He almost felt like he wanted to say sorry, and that he didn't mean it, but then he remembered everything Caleb had said to him, and all the pain he caused in his relationship with Alex. It stung him and he wasn't able to feel pity for him. Martin rode off on his bike, leaving Caleb alone and crying, desperate for even an ounce of comfort. So now a feud between Caleb and Martin? It seems that yet again Martin and Alex's relationship is hitting a rocky patch, and Caleb is the cause. Can he be excused for his actions because of his situation or not? Finally where do you guys think this will all head? Well anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this section, and thank you so much for e-mailing me back. I really do enjoy them. So if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please e-mail me at EFoster447@yahoo.com Also I'm on Winter break now, so I hope I can get a few more parts out before I'm back to the college grind (Oh and for those curious, first semester freshmen year went great, and I got a 3.77 gpa, so I managed to balance school and social life...though sleep kind of went down the drain). Anyway if you want to be on the mailing list to be notified when new parts are coming out make sure you explicitly state it in your email. I don't want to include people who don't want to be on the list. Lastly if you want to read another of my stories look up "Restart" in the gay, male, young friends section on nifty.org. Also I have to thank my editor Mike Archer for helping me out with this section. Thanks for reading guys; I hope you continue to enjoy the story as new sections for it come out.
