chapter three

the boy with his head in clouds

[LANCE POV]

I turn the dial up on the radio that sits next to my bed and pondered my thoughts endlessly. The silence only made the whole thing worse, I mean what kind of ladies man would I be pondering my thoughts about not a girl but a boy.

A boy who took my heart with his emo music and his sweet voice that I could listen to hours on end, god I'm such a mess. I look over at my desk; sheets covering the entirety of the small rectangle. Classes go by without a hitch but yet here I am not focusing on school but on a stupid radio personality who I never meet and will just pine for after my entire life.

Oh yeah the physics teacher said we'd be getting a project tomorrow. This is just too much on my plate at the moment maybe I should just give up, I look at the radio hoping that maybe I would be able to hear his sweet as all god voice but nope; just a monotone voice saying weather is great forecast for the week is different everyday and that this month will be a shit storm just like Veronica on her period, what a fucking bitch she was.

I don't even remember why I started dating her, pretty sure it was her popularity with the other guys on campus. I've always liked to experiment, I wonder what KEI-KO would be like; dominate? Submissive? Or flexible?

I could feel the smirk forming on my face, idea. Let's find out who this sexy hunk of meat is so that I can find that out for myself. Picking out different coloured string and pieces of card, writing randoms things I knew about him like; male, super gay, university student, likes emo bands.

This continued until the early hours of the morning where I'm pretty sure the things I was writing weren't even making sense anymore, the clock's numbers were blurred and before I knew it the last of my energy died.

[KEITH POV]

Walking down busy hallways full of students talking to girls or boys and even teachers made my head spin. I duck my head towards the floor before continuing up the crowded hallway to make it to my physics classroom. I take my usual seat in the front row and set up as others walk in and take their places at their desks.

The lesson starts as soon as the teacher walks in, she takes her place at the front of the class and starts talking about the material we would be learning in this lesson as well as the task she would set later.

About halfway through the lesson she starts to explain the assignment task, setting the outcomes and the potential risks as well as the fact that it is a fucking partner assignment. She starts to read out names one after the other until she stops;

"Lance Mcclain, care to explain why you are 45 minutes late to my lecture?" I let my eyes follow to where she is looking to she a clearly sleep deprived Lance and a bundle of sheets nearly falling out of his bag. A small laugh comes out of my mouth as I see the confident boy look for an excuse.

"I was up late studying until early this morning and Hunk is on leave with his family so I didn't have anyone to wake me, I'm very sorry Ms it won't happen again." He was rubbing his neck looking super anxious, I would be too if I was up against Ms.

"I would hope so, please take a seat. To ensure this won't happen again Keith will be your partner because he at least can be early to my class." She stalked over to his desk smashing sheets of paper and walking back to the front.

"So from what I was saying the task is due in 4 weeks it should include a theoretical, practical and a completed model." Her voice drowned out of the scene as I looked over to the tan boy 3 rows back, looking perfect as ever. I'm a pining mess but I love it nevertheless, I just hope that maybe he would look at me the same way he looks at all the girls he truly liked and not like the ones he used for bragging rights or personal gain.

He's such a jerk on the outside but something just draws me to him for some reason, maybe it's fate or utter demise but I don't give a fuck just give me a day with that boy by my side and I don't care what happens to me, because at the end of the day I would be in complete and total bliss.

[A.N]

Hello my dudes! I'm really sorry for the delay on this chapter I just have a bunch of shit going on at the moment but I'm on holidays now so I guess I'm coping better than before.

I'm hoping to finish this entire book by the end of the holidays and have it pretty well planned out about where I want it to go in the end. I'm not gonna lie it will be on the short side but I know that if I make it too long I'll lose interest in writing it like I have with past books.

This is a project I want to see through and help re-inspire my thoughts on creating and writing books so I hope you'll stick with me till the end!
