I learned that David and John did not get along. David was not sure how it got started, but they gave each other the cold shoulder, though no harsh words were exchanged. I told David I liked John, and hoped he could accept this, as I still wanted to be friends with David as well. David was not all that keen on this, but in the end nodded and changed the subject. He invited me to come over to swim in the motel pool and then hang out for supper. I said I would have to get back to him on that. Well in class Noah gave me a dirty scowl, but the mark on his cheek showed the results of our last talk. I returned his stare for a second, then nodded to John as I sat down to listen for another day of Omen droning on. Not only was the teacher a bore, but one with hardly any enthusiasm for being a teacher. Just knew he had to be eking out the last days of his career till retirement. Best thing would just send this old fossil to the glue factory with all the other old cows and lame bulls. Lunch came just in time, as my stomach was rumbling. David and I got up to head to the cafeteria when John wandered on over. He gave David a cool and short nod and then smiled at me. " Hey Charlie, I had a blast Saturday and maybe we can hook up again. As long as we stay out of Sean's way, we can hang out at my place. You free today after school? " I felt bad some and caught in the middle, but I was not going to ditch David for John. " Sorry dude, I really would not, but David already invited me over to his place. Maybe you could join us? " I said the last giving David a glance, to see if he might break down and relent. I probably should have asked, but hey, had to try to take a chance and break down some barriers. The look David gave me was all the answer I needed. If he had actually bitten into a lemon his expression could not have been any different. His scowl showed it all. " No, sorry John, but I wanted to hang out with Charlie, as we have not seen each other in several days. Maybe... maybe some other time. " The last was lame and I knew it would most likely be a freeze in hell to have that happen. John seemed not to be fazed by David's look or missing out. He just looked back to me and continued. " Ok, then maybe another time Charlie. How about we play some kickball after lunch? I heard there was going to be a pick up game. " I wanted in and with a quick look to David to see if he would join, and seeing his shake, nodded to John. Sure sounds fun. Catch you after I eat. " John nodded back and left to go eat with some of his other pals. David and I were brown bagging it, so we sat together and talked some more. I was making time for both of my friends, though it might get awkward if I did not watch myself. Life for me settled down and the weeks started to pass me by. I was still bummed with all that had happened with Chris, and I did not want to be burned again. I spent several nights with John and David, but never together. I never did learn what was up between the two of them. I do not think it catastrophic, but for whatever reason, the two of them did not like the other. I think some of it was that David was quiet and introspective, where as John was much more outgoing and physical. David was jealous a little that I was with John, but he accepted it and in time the matter of my friendship with John became a non issue. Whoever I was with, I was having fun and it got me out of the house, especially when my sister was having her friends over. My sister and Ann Marie became friends and played together at times. I did not hate Ann Marie, but she had a stuck up attitude that seemed to raise itself when I was around. I hated people like that, so I stayed away when I could. I finally met Sean, John's brother and here was a guy that had all the arrogance of a 14y old going on 30 with the attitude of an asshole. I did not like one thing about the idiot, but John thought his brother was cool. I just ignored as much of Sean's banter and put downs, and tried not to get between the brothers. Sean was wrapped up with his GF, who I thought was a dog. Wonder if she barked for him when they got into it. John and I did nothing sexual, though I still thought he was nice looking. The experience with Chris had really hurt me and I did not make any moves or try to push things beyond the teasing John and I exchanged. I still dreamed and fantasized about John, even a few times about Chris. Yeah, I know he was a grade A butt wipe, but the sex we had together was still a happy memory and nice to get relief. David and I were just friends. I never once got hard around him, or thought of him as more then a friend. I wondered if I was to tell him how he would react, but I kept my mouth shut,. Just enjoyed our times together. David taught me how to play Dungeons and Dragons and we played many a night all the way through, sleep a few hours, and back at it. Made some of our own rules and never took it too seriously. It was the start of my love for gaming. Well Spring started to wrap itself up and it was getting closer to the end of School. I was doing pretty good in class, not withstanding Mr. Omen. I was really looking forward to the end of school and having the summer free. I was going to be doing some swimming up at Monterey Peninsula College, as the Y in town either was for the military only or did not have any pools or much of anything. The public Y was housed in the old French Embassy adobe and was not much more then an office. The Military one was bigger. I was also hoping to go down to LA at some time to see my cousins and other relatives. During all this time, I hardly saw Chris or Noah and when I did, no words were exchanged. Chris was really looking ratty, letting his hair grow long and snarly. His eyes were bloodshot most of the time. I wondered why none of the teachers ever said or did anything, as I heard that he left school several times, I would guess to get stoned or sleep off his latest buzz. I had nothing about getting high, but with Chris choosing to be friends with Noah and loosing it, I just felt sorry for the idiot. Noah I heard through the grapevine was getting into trouble with his Dad, as well as close to failing. Shame he would not drop out or go flush himself down the toilet. It was the Friday before Memorial Day and I was excited for the three day weekend. Just few more hours and I was out of here. I had rode my bike to school this day and with the sun shining and not having to be home before dark, I was set to go off by myself and just cruise. It was a shame that John was going out of town with his family for the entire weekend and David was going to be working at the motel. I would probably john him Saturday or Sunday, today, I wanted to be out in the breeze and enjoy myself. I was dreaming away with my ride when I heard the call. " Charlie? Charlie? CHARLIE!! " That woke me up quick. I shook from the shout and saw Omen staring at me, his face full of anger and exasperation from my ignoring his question. I quickly decided I better answer, " Umm, sorry Mister Omen. I missed the question. " The class started to crack up with my situation and having been caught not paying attention. Omen just shook his head and the next thing I knew, he had written my name up on the board with check marks. Damn, detention and on a FRIDAY! " I will hope seeing me after class and giving me your attention then will help to improve your listening to me when I call on you. " The sarcasm was thick and it cut me down some too. I was pissed and I muttered something like. " Oh joy asshole. : Guess I said it too loud, as several others cracked up again and snickered as the blood rushed back to Omen's face. It was flush from new anger and he pointed his finger at me." OUT! Go see Ms. Lee you ingrate. get out of here and when you come back, you can join me for an HOUR Sir. " ' Fuck you too shithead ' I thought, but I said nothing. I looked to David who shook his head and turned away, No support from him here. John gave me a wave as I left, but he was barely able to stop snickering from my really blowing it, I wanted to be pissed at him, but as I walked to the office to talk with the principle, I had to laugh at myself. Oh well, might as well get it out of the way. Had my " talk " with the principle. who tried to be nice about it all. She explained I could not talk like that around teachers here at school and I was lucky that she did not suspend me or send a note to my parents. Gave me a verbal warning and told me if I was going to say something like I did, NOT to. Not to let any words close to that to escape my mouth. I walked back chastised, and resentful I had to waste good biking weather to satisfy Omen's dictates. Class ended and I had to write several sentences during my detention while Omen sat back grading papers and seemingly exploring his senile prick of a brain. Finally my sentence of torture was over and I was excused. Omen told me next time he would not be so lenient. Yeah right asshole, lay on the BS. I went to go get my bike when I stopped. It was gone. Nothing! I ran to the bike rack and all I found was a cut link where I had my bike chained up. My good bike, which I had bought myself, had just been stolen! My bike was FUCKING gone! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I know its short, but I just was not up to writing more here. I will hope to have another chapter soon and get into some more fun with myself and the boys. : ) Keep the emails coming if you like, hate, or have criticisms to my style. I am open minded and am willing to listen to your opinions. Praise me, flame me, or just tell me where I may improve or screwed up. I am more then willing to reply and we can see what the future holds. Email me at cezmail1@yahoo.com. Also, I posted a new story. It is in the gay Science Fiction and Fantasy section, titled " Battered Barbarian and His boy. If your interested, give it a look over. Chapter 3 of that tale is posted and I will hope to have another chapter posted soon. If you do read it, please let me know what you think. Totally different from Monterey Delights.
