-Boys Love Too-

Jake couldn’t help but smile as he stared into the eyes of the person he had just collided with. Slowly he handed back the books to their rightful owner.

“Nice to meet you Jake, I’m Paul” He felt that familiar lump in his throat.

After a few seconds and a heartbeat later both boys stood back up. Jake looked over Paul carefully. Tall, handsome, great clothes and a prize winning smile. Paul smiled slightly as he felt Jake’s eyes scanning him.

The bell rang.

“So, I guess you have Biology as well?” Jake asked.

Paul nodded in response. “Yeah, Mr. Strapple”

Both boys smiled as they heard the teacher from inside begin to speak. Slowly they slipped into the classroom, trying not to draw attention to them. Unfortunately it was one of those classrooms where the entrance was at the front of the room where the teacher was standing, so all attention was shifted to them.

“Find a seat boy’s.” Mr. Strapple’s voice was low and thick, coming from a tall and slender man; most unexpected.

The boy’s split directions and found seats on opposite sides of the room. Paul dropped his books down onto the long table, used as a combined desk. They were old and metal with numerous scratches and doodles all over them. Some were home to foul and vulgar sayings and other were initials and hearts, and so on.

Paul was happy to see that the person he was sitting beside was one of his great friends from last year; Daren Huis.

“Hey man!” Daren said excitedly, putting up his cupped hand for a high-five-handshake. Paul met Daren’s hand with his own and smiled, sliding into his chair. The boys began to chat randomly about their summer…

Jake slipped into an empty chair beside a young brunette headed girl. It was Kim Barlow. Of course he was not aware of her status in the school.

“Hi, I’m Jake.” He smiled and placed his books down onto the old metal table, waiting for a smile and a response. There was one; it came after a quick full body scan and a flip of the hair. Slowly biting at the end of her finger she spoke up.

“Jake is it? You’re cute, have a seat.” Kim smiled crookedly at him, and then quickly turned to squabble with her friends behind her. A confused nod and quick flush of color in his cheeks was his only response.

“Now, let’s get right into the course students. We will begin with a little refresher from last year.”

Jake’s attention was re-directed to the teacher.

The lunch room was packed with students running, yelling and meeting up with friends to exchange the rest of the summer stories, which were rudely interrupted by the… classroom teachers.

Slowly Paul carried his tray through the crowd of people hovering around the canteen and stepped down into the area that all the tables were set up in. Each table was filled with five or six people. A few of his close friends waved at him and hollered for him to join them. Picking up his pace he headed towards them.

“Hey guys!”

Paul passed a large group of students by the window, when his focus was directed to someone sitting outside. He smiled and turned to walk towards the door leading outside, forgetting entirely about what he was originally doing. He could hear one of his friends calling for him but he kept walking.

The warmth from the rays of sun felt great. He had to squint a bit to see, but even so he could see that the other person was looking back, smiling.

Jake placed his tray down next to a frantically waving Kim at one of the round tables in the lunch room.

“Jake! He he.” She tossed her hair over her should again and perked up her breasts. “Girls, meet Jake. Jake this is Tessa, Jessie, Melanie and Tosha.” Kim pointed to each one of her friends and she called off their names. “Jake and I are in Bio together.”

A polite nod was offered to each girl before he responded. “Yes, it seems that we will be sitting together for this semester.”

The girls all giggled together and prodded at one another like a pack of animals you would see on the discovery channel. More like a pack of over painted/perfumed and hair sprayed animals however.

Jake held back a laugh. “So, are you all happy with your classes this semester?”

Tosha was the first to pipe up and answer, receiving a devastating glare from Kim.

“Heh, like um… Actually I got fashion design with this one girl Katie… Oh my god, I can’t stand her and I can’t focus on counting the stitches in the skirt I want to make. She’s a total skank and would like, sleep around with anyone. I heard one time she woke up with a condom stuck in her hair at a party.”

Jake was quite taken aback by Tosha’s response. It was funny to watch each girl look to the other for confirmation before they all nodded and made disgusted faces. He picked at his lunch while they all broke out into whisper and gasps, gossiping about the other girls in the school.

“So, Jake what are you doing this weekend?” Kim curled her hair with her finger as she seductively looked him up and down.

“Uh, I’m not sure yet. I didn’t really have any plans.”

“Wanna like, maybe go see a movie or something. I can rid of these pests if you want…” Kim raised an eyebrow and titled her head in the direction of the other girls at the table.

Jake raised his finger to them, slightly confused. “Aren’t they your friends?”

Kim nodded frantically as the girls focused back to her. “Oh god yes, I don’t know what I would do without any of them.” She smiled and blew them each kisses, which they received gratefully and seemed the pass back and forth within the group. Obviously some sort of herd ritual.

“So how about that movie Jakey?” Kim smiled and continued curling her hair with a finger.

“Uh, sure that sounds fun.”

The other four girls broke out into giddy laughter. Kim smiled widely. She had downed her prey.

The bell rang.
