Everyone was crazy now that it was the end of the school year. I was at school, and everyone was at lunch. Me and my best friend, William Peterson, Will for short, were sitting at a table with some girls. We were both popular with the girls. Oops! Let me describe Will. Will is a very hot guy. He has dark black hair, blue eyes, great smile, nice chest, really nice tan, nice abs with a 6 pack on the way, and he was the average height and weight for a 16 year old. We were both in 11th grade in high school. One word that describes Will is "HOTT". I never told a soul, but he was the main person I jerked off over and wished to be with. Now, back to the story. We were eating lunch (I was eating fries, Will was eating pizza) and one of the girls sitting next to Will took out a pen and said; "Hey Will, let me see your hand." He gave his right hand to her and she wrote "Zap" on it, and underneath it, she wrote "3 days". For those of you who don't know, 'Zap' is a game that the girls play. They write 'Zap' on your hand and then put a time period underneath it. If a girl 'Zaps' you, then whoever says your name, you have to tell them "I love you". You keep telling whoever calls your name that you love them until the time period is over. So basically, whoever said Will's name, he'd have to respond by saying "I love you". I was unaware that they "Zapped" him because I was lost in thought. I was daydreaming about what it would be like to be dating Will. Every girl's dream guy. Girls liked me too, but they went totally crazy over him. I snapped out of my fantasies and said; "Hey Will, what time is it?" The girls were giggling and Will was smirking. The girls were looking back and forth at me and Will, and Will was starting to blush a little. "What's wrong? I never thought that asking for the time would be so funny." I said. There was silence, exept for a few more giggles. Then what happened next blew me away. "I love you. It's 11:47." he said. The girls cracked up and I was just sitting there staring at Will. Did he just say he loved me? He had a look on his face that I couldn't figure out. "I zapped him! You were clueless!" the girl next to him said. "As always!" another girl added. There were some laughs, and I just shot a playful look at the girl who said it. then the bell rung. Time to go. Since it was a half day, and we were getting out of school at 1pm, we only had one more class. Fortunately, I had the last class of the day with Will. *** We got to the classroom and the teacher announced that we were gonna watch movies until time to go home. The teacher let us sit where ever we wanted, so naturally, me and Will sat at a table together. We sat next to each other in the back of the classroom, and there was a brief silence before Will broke the silence. "So what do you wanna do today after school?" he asked. "I dunno," I replied, "what do you wanna do?" "Well, we could play basketball for a while." "I dunno about that. It's burning up outside! I don't wanna die of a heat stroke! And besides, I'd kick your ass in basketball!" I laughed. "Whatever, man! But you are right. It's too hot to be outside. I could come over to your house and we could play the PS2." he suggested. "My mom is gonna be at work until 4:30, and she wouldn't care if I came over anyways." "Ok. My mom isn't gonna be home until late, so we'd have the whole house to ourselves." I said. "Cool. So it's a plan then?" "Yeah, I guess so." "Aiight." he said. He slumped down into his chair and started watching the movie. They played Snow Dogs. I watched a little of it, but was mostly thinking about how I could find out if Will was attracted to me or not. *** It came time to leave. I just got my beginner's permit, and my dad got me this dark red jeep. My dad works for a firm, and he's been moving around alot. He's in another state for all I know, but I can never be sure exactly where he is until he calls or sends a postcard. Anyways, me and Will were making our way to the parking lot. We were talking about non-important stuff on our way there. We hopped in, me in the driver's seat, and started to leave. "HEY!!!" Will screamed. It almost made me jump out of my skin. "What the hell?" I asked, still a little stirred. "You pulled out of that park a little too fast, ya know! I don't wanna die, ya know! Let me out! I'll hitch-hike!" he broke out in hysterical laughter, and after I calmed down, I laughed a little. We were silent for the first few minutes of the drive, and then I glanced over at him. He seemed to be lost in thought. I wondered what could possibly going on in that beautiful head of his. "Whatcha thinkin' 'bout?" I asked. "Me and you." he blurted unconciously. I looked over at him a little bit more and he, obviously realizing what he just said, tried to correct it. "I-I mean, what me and you are gonna play on the PS2." He just sat there silently, looking straight ahead. My heart told me that he meant what he said the first time. We finally pulled into my driveway and walked into the house. I have an average, 2 story house. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, den, and that sort of thing. It was only me, my mom and my older brother living there, so we had an extra room. That was the guest room. It consisted of just a bed, a desk, lamp and TV. My older brother, Chad, was at the beach. Anyways, we played a little football on the PS2, him kicking my ass, then me kicking his ass. Then we played a little 'Twisted Medal: Black'. He was practically the expert of that game. Out of the 20 or so rounds we played, I bet I only won 3 times. He made sure I didn't forget it, too. After a while, we got tired of playing games, so I fetched us a Sprite and we watched TV. I was thinking again, and decided to push my limit. "What do you think it's like, to.. ya know, be... gay?" I asked. He turned to me and said, "It must feel good, considering that alot of people are." "How would you feel if a guy were in love with you?" I asked, taking another step into my 'plan'. I read on this website that if you are gay and want to find out if another person is, the best way is to ask questions with the word "gay" in it and listen to their responses. "I don't know. What's up with all these questions, anyways?" he asked. "I, um, I was just wondering, that's all." Great, just great. My best friend of 3 years has just gotten the idea that I was a no good freak. We sat in silence, watching more TV, when Will said; "Hey, let's go to your room." So, I got up and he led the way to my room. He'd been over plenty of times before, but nothing ever happened, exept for playing games, eating snacks or watching TV. We went in and he closed the door behind us. I sat on the bed and he came over and sat next to me. He was quiet for a few moments, looking confused. If anyone was confused, it was me. But finally, he spoke up. "Um, Adam, you might hate me forever after I tell you this, but this has been on my chest for 2 years now." His voice was getting quieter. "I could never hate you, Will! Nothing could be that bad." I said. "This could!" he said. "Just tell me. You'll feel alot better." "Ok. All day, I've been thinking about what I'm gonna say, and I can't seem to figure out exactly how to say it, so I'm just gonna say it." he said, not exactly looking at me. "Ok, try me." I said. "Well, I think I'm... well, I think I'm ...gay." he revealed. I was overwhelmed with joy! I sat in silence, not knowing how exactly to reveal to him that I was too, and that I loved him. "I told you this because you are my best friend and I can trust you with anything and the questions you asked me downstairs really got me thinking and I thought it was the right time to tell you." he said. A tear dropped from his eye. Before I could say anything, he started up again. "Adam, I need to know something." "Sure, anything." I said, shocked. "Are, well, do, I mean, um.... Do you like me?" "Yeah, sure. I won't stop liking you just because--" "No, I meant, do you... like me in another way, like, more than friends?" he interrupted. My heart skipped a beat. I've been waiting for this moment for 3 years, but now that it was happening, I was suddenly choked up. "Well..." I started. I looked into his eyes and saw the hurt, pain, love and the hope he had. I had to tell him the truth. "Yes, I've liked you ever since I first saw you. I've been wanting to tell you that I felt this way since forever, but I was too scared." I had my head down. When I looked back up, he was smiling. t "At lunch today, when you said my name and I said I loved you, nobody knew it, but I really meant it." he said. I smiled. He leaned over and his lips met mine in a kiss I'll never forget. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Revenge ---ch.3-------------Andre COMING SOON! like this chapter? have any questions? comments? suggestions? i'm just an email away!
