“GET UP!” he yelled from the living room. Dad always had that voice that can be heard from all the way across the house. I moaned loudly, tossing and turning in bed. I did not want to go to school.
It was the middle of senior year, it was cold and raining outside which isn’t a nice way to wake up in the morning, to make matters worse, my car broke down a couple days ago and I had to get up extra early so my mom could make it to work and drop me off.
I got up, looked in the mirror and what stared back was a 6’1, dark haired, slim man, and that man, was me, Daniel. I jumped in the shower quick and skipped breakfast so my mom wouldn’t be late.
I got out of the car, hood over my head, by now it was pouring rain. I looked at the clock on my cell phone, it was 7 a.m. and class didn’t start till 8:15! No one was at school yet, just teachers. I ran to the only place I could to avoid the rain where I knew I could stay, Mrs. Medina’s class.
“Why, you’re here early!” she said, as I walked in the classroom.
“Yeah, don’t remind me.”
Mrs. Medina was the coolest teacher there at Foster High, and the only one who knew I was gay. I sat down in front of her desk and shook my sweatshirt a bit to get rid of the water it soaked in. “I watched the new episode you put on your site, it was hilarious, my husband was laughing for about fifteen minutes I thought he was going to pass out.” I laughed. “Yeah took me a whole month to finish it.”
I was a nerd, and I knew it. I worked on an animated comedy series I called “Devils Battalion” It was based on the World War Two game Call of Duty which I played all the time in my spare time. Me and my friends would always have fun doing it, even though only a few people watched them. I always knew I was gay, and I never really thought about it. I wasn’t the most popular in school, I was known as “TJ’s cousin.” TJ was the star of the football team, big and buff, always got all the girls attention. I myself wasn’t that buff, but I worked out with my dad a lot to stay in shape; he tells me that if I sit on the computer all day I have to get out sometime.
“Did you see that Joe guy on the football team? You two would look cute together!” She said. Me and her always joked about the fact I was gay, of course, when no one was around, and I was OK with it, I always laughed. “Yeah he’s a bit cute”, I said as I laughed.
It was 7:30 and now some people began arriving at school and the rain was letting up a bit. “I’ll see you later Mrs. Medina.” I said walking out. She smiled and waved.
And then I saw him, the guy who I’ve been constantly thinking about…Tom. He was on the Football and Soccer teams, he wasn’t as buff as TJ but he was just right. He had short dark hair, and big brown eyes. He was about 5’9. He was also my best friend, ever since 6th grade. He had always caught attention from the girls, practically always got a number everywhere he went. I’ve liked him for years, and I’ve gotten close to telling him, but I always stop myself and, as far as I know, he has no idea.
The rain was still coming down as he walked toward me, he looked particularly hot all wet, he didn’t care about the rain. I had to tell myself over and over not to pop a boner because these school pants do a bad job of hiding them.
I stopped, as I saw who was behind him, his little brother, Nick. Nick was only a junior, but he succeeds in making my life suck. Like his brother, he was pretty popular, and he hated me, and I never found out why, I never did anything to him, he’s hated me ever since I started hanging out with Tom.
Nick scowled at me and waked off in the other direction; I didn’t think much of it. I just wanted to talk to Tom. He was all wet, with rain running down his face. “Don’t you care if you get wet at all?” I asked. “Not really, feels kind of refreshing.” I couldn’t get over him, to me he was just so perfect, and then when I thought about it, the chances of us ending up together were probably slim to none. It brought me down a bit. “Dude, you OK? You look like crap to be truthful.” He said. “I’m fine” A split second after I said that the bell rang. “OK dude, I’ll see ya in class” and he walked away. I was looking at his perfectly shaped butt through the uniform pants, I sighed as Monica came up to me.
“DUDE, you need to stop staring at his ass, someone’s going to see you”
“I wasn’t staring, I was admiring!” we both laughed, she knew I was gay, she guessed it a long time ago and she’s fine with it. We ran into Mrs. Medina’s English class to avoid the rain, I was beginning to dread it because I sat next to Tom, who sat next to Michelle, the girl who has obsessed over him since 8th grade. He gave me a high-five and sat down next to me, I could see Michelle out of the corner of my eye looking at him.
“Dude, did you do your homework? I am so screwed I didn’t do mine.” He said to me. “Yeah I did, I always do” I said smiling at him. “Tooooooom, what’s up buddy?” Michelle said behind him, in a tone that just got me boiling inside. “You OK dude? You look mad.”
“BOYS, I don’t want to give you two a after school detention, be quiet!” Mrs. Medina snapped. I was biting my lip. “I’m fine.” “TOOOOOOOM, talk to me dude” Michelle said. Thank god because right after that, the bell rang for a break before next period.
I met up with Monica later on at lunch, after I was feeling a bit better. We both sat down in the yard where no teachers ever walked by because it was in the corner of the school. “Where’s everyone else?” I asked. “Getting lunch, you OK? I saw you in Medina’s class, you looked pretty steamed.”
“I just wish I didn’t like him so much, plus that Michelle kept flirting all throughout the class, she’s so annoying.”
“Have you tried telling him?” My voice got a bit more serious. “Yeah Monica, and commit Social Suicide? No thanks. I guess ill have to settle for friends.” The rain was pouring down, but luckily we were under the hallway. “Well, if you need anything….” She stopped. “I know I know, your there. It’s just, he’s just so…hot and he’s so nice and so….” Then I stopped, Tom was walking up. ‘Oh Crap’ I thought to myself.
He looked serious. “Monica, give us a sec.” he said. Monica walked off, leaving the two of us.
With the rain coming down, it was hard to tell, but I could swear behind Tom I saw a bush move, but before I had a chance to look, Tom picked me up and pushed me against the wall. “Either you tell me what’s going on with you now or we’re gonna get pretty wet out here until you do” “I…uhh….” I couldn’t get the words out. I looked behind him, I could swear that bush behind him was moving, but the rain was making it hard to tell.
“You better start talking Daniel, NOW!” “Uhhh…ummm” I couldn’t say it, those three words were in my head, but I couldn’t spit it out. “Come on, talk now.” That was it. “I love you, you idiot!” He stared back, big eyed.
I could feel the tears coming. “I have since I met you, moron you haven’t realized!?”
I began to walk away, tears rolling down my cheeks, but he grabbed my hand, and he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me from the side. “Ohhhh, you think your gonna run away now?” I was surprised; I thought I was dreaming, my eyes were wide open. I looked at him; he had that big smile on his face. I looked at him, and then he kissed me. My eyes got big and it felt so good. I couldn’t believe it, the best moment of my life, his lips were soft and warm, even in the rain. He looked at me with those big brown eyes, and smiled.
He was still holding me, and the rain was still pouring down. When I looked behind him, and there was the one thing that can go possibly wrong, the one thing that could ruin the moment. It was his brother, Nick, coming out from behind the bush, staring wide-eyed and mouth open.
