Email me at lalcar@hotmail.co.uk Enjoy! Not a typical boarding school chapter 5 I was walking down the stairs to the third floor where all our lockers were, when I saw Kyle leaning against mine, giving me a small smile as I came up to him. Instincts came over me as I took his books out of his hand and leaned down to kiss his cheek. I saw people around us staring and whispering to each other. `Great' I thought while Kyle just chose to smile at them. `Which lesson do you have now?' I asked while grabbing my own books from my locker while holding his with my other hand. `Math like you' he said smiling. I sighed. Now I would have no chance to talk to Leo alone. `Standard level, since I hate math as much as pussy' he said with a sheepish grin earning a laugh from me. We reached his classroom which was right next to mine, I gave him his books. He leaned up and kissed my chin and then sauntered off to his friends who were staring at us with excited eyes. As I walked into my class next door I noticed that the teacher still hadn't arrived. I looked around taking my time to see where he was. Sitting by the window, completely absorbed by what was outside, he didn't notice me until I plopped down next to him. He jumped slightly and gave me an annoyed glance, which I of course ignored. I then leaned in close to him and smiled softly, uttering my first words to him since we met. `I'm Nate' He looked at me for a few long seconds and then gave a small smile that made me ache to touch him in ways that could make him smile silly whether he could help it or not. `Leo' was all he said but it was enough. His voice was soft but at the same time firm, silky but boyish. He tried to distract me by pointing at the arrival of our new teacher but I was having a hard time as I drowned in two green pools. I snapped out of it as he called my name. I quickly turned to look at the teacher to see a short bald guy with a bugs bunny tie. He must have had a lonely childhood. `So you studied here for how long? 2 years?' I asked while looking at him from the corner of my eye, embarrassed slightly that he must think I'm a complete spaz. `Yep, how's Mount for you so far? You seem to be fitting in nicely.' His last words said with some emotion. I inwardly smiled and bit the inside of my lip from openly grinning. `Yeah people here are really friendly, except for a few exceptions' I gave him a look and he gave a small grin, knowing who I was referring to. `You'll learn to suck it up' and with that he turned his attention completely away from me and to the fat balding teacher I smiled to myself for the rest of the lesson and thought just one word Progress. ** The rest of the lessons went on smoothly, a few with Kyle where we both flirted to such an extent that even our teacher told us to leave it out the classroom. A few more with Leo where he decided to ignore me and my long stares. Ignoring me didn't mean he didn't react as he blushed several times when I caught his eye. When my staring was getting too intense Spike would elbow me motioning at Jake's cronies who were staring at me with a death glare. I found this quite amusing but Spike didn't seem to, so my attention went back to the lesson. Lunch time arrived and I headed to the cafeteria. Spike and I chose to sit outside to eat without the crowd. We were just about to take a bite into our food when Kyle plopped down into my lap. Spike looked at him with an annoyed glance. Kyle also saw this and picked a fry off his plate. `What's up cuz?' Kyle asked `You tell me' Spike replied curly `And what is that supposed to mean?' `Kyle you need to tone it down, it's only been two days coming back and people are talking' `And let them talk, I don't care and neither does Nate' h looked at me and got a nod of confirmation. Spike shot me a look and I decided to shut up and eat. `Well I care alright? I don't want people coming up to me to talk stupid. This semester your really going to get me suspended.' `How is it my fault that you use your fist instead of your brain when you hear bullshit?' `Again it's only been two days Kyle. What do you think Uncle Phill would say if he was here? Kyle gave him a look that could have made me fear my life and he got up and left us but not before I saw his eyes glass over. I frowned at Spike. `Nate don't give me that look alright? I know what I'm doing.' `Dude what the fuck was that? I cant believe you man.' I said with anger. `Yeah and why do you care? Are you his boyfriend now?' `Uh well I don't know, we haven't been on a date yet but we're in that stage Spike. And I really like him.' `Nate you're my friend and even though I've only known you for a few days I can tell you're a good guy, but until you stop chasing Leo's pants, then I might consider to believe what your saying.' I gave him an annoyed glance and decided not to take it further. So who was that guy you were all over this morning? The one with the eyes' Spike gave me a sheepish smile and all his features softened suddenly. I arched my eyebrow at this; surprised by just mentioning his name had this kind of effect on the big guy. `His name is Calisto but everyone calls him Cal and he's the only Greek guy in our school. I'm the only one allowed to call his full name since it's too damn hot to shorten. You see I was going out with this guy called Shane last year and apparently Cal had a crush on me for a long time which I had no idea about. Kyle told me this over the summer. And yeah I really like him man. `That's cool man, he's hot. But are you two going out or...?' `Nah man we're still in the first stage but yeah I want to step it up. Not screw around.' He said with some emotion in his voice. `Why do I get the feeling that there is some story behind this?' Spike actually blushed this time which shocked me even more. `Well over the summer he came to visit Kyle who was hanging out with me and my sis. By that time I had already known he had a crush on me. Well basically it was a disaster. We'd been flirting and teasing each other for a couple of days so I finally I asked him out. We went to the movies and it was all going great, I brought the drinks and popcorn and the tickets. We had just sat down and the movie started playing when my phone started to buzz. I took it out and saw it was a text message. Shane who was still trying to get back together with me sent a picture of himself in an uh interesting position with no clothes on. And underneath it was a complete description of what he missed me doing to him in that um position. I quickly deleted it and put it back in my pocket right? That's when I turn over to see Calisto wide eyed and staring back at me with I don't know if it was shock or disgust but whatever it was, it caused the rest of the date to go downhill. And after that we didn't know how to act around each other.' I couldn't help it and finally let out the laughter I was holding in when I heard about the text picture. I probably laughed hysterically for a good whole minute while Spike looked at me glaringly and at the end he also couldn't help but give a small chuckle. I wiped the tears off my eyes and gave him a big smile. Some people had even started to sit a little closer to us to see what I was laughing about. `Dude, that must have been the funniest date story ever! Its better than the ones you see on TV. So what changed?' He shrugged and gave me a big smile, `We both got over it'. ***** The week past by rather quickly which meant Kyle's birthday was coming up. Friday night Spike and I were hanging out in the student lounge. He was waiting for the arrival of Cal and so was I. Because Cal is best friends with Kyle I thought he'd be the best choice to ask what to get him. He walked into the room in some tight jeans and a blue shirt which read in pink `Barbie is a slut'. Spike was also looking at it to and had a big smile on his face. As Cal was coming upto us he kept his eyes on Spike with a small smile on his face. When he reached us he just sat next to Spike and they looked at each other for awhile not talking. I had to cough four times to get their attention. `Cal I need to ask you for a favour' I said while leaning forward on the arm chair to catch his eye. He looked long enough to raise an eyebrow at me and then looked back at Spike. `Calisto babe my Nate needs to buy something for Kyle and since you and him are pretty tight we thought we'd ask you' Spike replied for me while playing with Cal's curly hair. `Ok here's the deal, Kyle is expecting something really personal from you so stay away from perfume or clothes and shit like that. Try jewellery or maybe something creative. But make sure it's good. Now Spike I have only 2 hours before the sleepover, so...' he trailed off while giving Spike a certain look. Spike had a big shit eating smile plastered across his face while he got up with Cal in tow and gave me a thumbs up. I shook my head and smiled at him in return. I was just about to enter my room when my phone started ringing. I read the screen and saw `Eddie' written across it. I picked it up and had a brief talk with him about when to pick me up tomorrow and asked if he knew any good jewellery shops. He also informed me baby was here and not even a scratch was on her from being shipped over. Before I could say anything he told me that he would have it parked in front of the school at 6pm before the party started. Really cool guy I thought to myself as I entered my room only to find one of Kyle's friends standing in the centre staring at Spike's beachboy poster. `Um hi?' he jumped at my voice and turned around smiling at me shyly. `Hi I'm Kyle's friends, Luke. He had to go home to celebrate his birthday with his parents so he wanted me to pass on a message.' The small redhead mumbled this all out which made me repeat it in my mind and de-code before answering the shy kid. `Right and the message is?' I replied after a long pause that made Luke blush like a tomato. `Oh, haha, right. Um he wanted you to pick him up tomorrow at 8.30 for the party. And he wanted you to wear something red. Since you know the theme is `black tie'. `Then wouldn't that mean I'd have to wear something black?' the kid sighed dramatically and looked like he wanted to leave. `Yeah but that's for the guests, the birthday boy and his escort get to have an exception duh! So see ya tomorrow.' I watched his back as he left, suddenly feeling allot of pressure on my shoulders. `It's just a birthday party, why does it sound like we're getting married' I asked myself. I shrugged to myself dismissively and climbed into bed after changing. I was up for awhile thinking about tomorrow and the depth it really held. I fell asleep, my dreams once again taken over by shiney emerald eyes. *** Once again thank you all who have emailed me even after such a long period. I will try to make new chapters sooner.
