He was more like a beauty king from a movie scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Skylar Jones
Chapter 20

A long exhausted sigh left my mouth as I walked through the school corridors.

School, ugh.

There was nothing fun about it except for maybe seeing your friends again. But that was the problem with me.

The new kid, also knows as me, didn't have any friends here.

Except for Cam.

Honestly, I didn't have the right to be mad at him and think so negatively about him. I knew what I was getting into the moment I started crushing on his stupid cute smile with that stupid pretty face and that stupid godlike hair.

Crushing? More like loving..

Cam was straight and nothing or nobody could ever change that. He clearly was happy with his girlfriend. I wouldn't blame him, she was utterly beautiful after all.

So I didn't exactly know why I was angry. I wasn't in love with him, right? I just wanted for him to be my friend and now he kinda is my friend.

Why wasn't that enough for me?

Why did this feel like it wasn't enough for me at all?

I tried to focus on my work, but obviously without any success. All I could think about was that special face of his, how his chocolate brown eyes looked at mine and his messy hair that always seemed to fit so well with him.

It wasn't most likely that he smiled, but when he did.. I swear, he lit up the entire world with that damn smile.

My world..

Cam was finally happy thanks to that girl. Even though I never liked her, he was happy and that was what mattered the most right? Why couldn't I just be happy for him?

The thing that bothered me the most was.. Why her? From everyone on this earth, why her?

She was purely horrible and mean towards everyone who didn't deserve it! She always screamed with that high pitched voice of hers and wore too much make up that you would think that it was heavier than her own freaking brains. Also every boy looked at her body, because apparently she didn't know the meaning of clothes.

Ever since they were official, I haven't seen Cam as much as I used to and I totally get it, because why would he spend more time with me than his own girlfriend?

Maybe it was because I missed him. We hung out much more due to the assignment and now we saw each other less than before. That must have been why I felt so weird and why I thought so much about him lately. That was probably why I wasn't happy for him.

I was used to his presence. That's all.

Of course it was just because of his absence. Yeah, his girlfriend practically stole him from his own life. I heard around the school some stuff about that this was bound to happen and that they would get together eventually.

But how so soon?

Did they even know each other at all? He knew her from the party and that wasn't even three weeks ago. They haven't been on dates or been hanging out to get to know each other like Cam and I did. Another sigh left my lips, I felt like some jealous boyfriend.

Wait! No! Not boyfriend!

Cam is straight. I mean- nevermind. I can't take my worlds back, I screwed myself already.

This morning Sean texted me. He asked me how far I came until now and I felt so bad for making that deal in that moment. I have no idea how he even got my number so I never responded, because I felt guilty and he was slightly creeping me out.

The bell rang loudly which made me jump in anxiety. I saw everyone standing up, so I did the same, collected my stuff and slowly walk towards my next class.

Dick's class.

Shit.

I tried not to freak out, but I couldn't ignore the loud poundings of my heart or how shaky my hands became once I walked into the classroom.

I took place in the back and after a couple of minutes I saw Cam walking into the classroom. My eyes widened a bit and instantly I looked away even though that was not what my heart was telling me to do. Not long after that he sat down besides me.

You could feel the tenseness between us even though both of us wanted to play it off, but it was there and undeniable.

We weren't treating each other in the way we should've done.

"Okay class! I will announce your third exercise. We will evaluate the second and third exercise in the next class" Dick happily said as he walked around the room.

What is the point of this assignment? I didn't want to know other people and give a presentation about them, nobody here likes me.

"I want each pair to play a game together also with another piece of evidence. For example, you can play Domino together" He explained further.

Well, that's boring..

Right after that I basically zoomed out all over again until the bell rang.

Cam and I still haven't spoken to each other during the lesson.

I rushed out of the classroom when the bell rang, but this time I was for some reason unlucky. Because I ran into Tyler and Jesse.

They were the guys who wanted to punch me the last time.

"Hey look who that is, it's our little fairy boy" Tyler grinned loud.

I tried to walk past them, but they blocked the way so I wouldn't leave anymore.

"We still never punished him for his big filthy mouth the last time, how about now Ty? Cam isn't around to safe his ass this time" Jesse smirked.

I gulped in fear, because I wasn't exactly strong and they were with two so I could never stand a chance against them.

"That's a wonderful idea, maybe he will learn to stop sucking boys" Tyler snorted.

It was so unfair that all these naive dumb people couldn't let other people be happy.

What does it matter to them that I'm gay? It was just a simple preference, there was nothing wrong with that and it didn't mean that I like every boy all of a sudden.

I also don't say that all straight guys go after every single girl.

So when he said that, I couldn't help but get angry and yell at him.

"Shut up asshole!" Left my mouth before I knew it.

Shit, I'm dead meat.

"Asshole huh? That's what you like right? Couldn't you come up with something better than that?"

"Well-" I couldn't finish my sentence, because his fist connected with my jaw.

I moaned softly and wanted to grab my jaw, but they took me down to the ground and started kicking me in almost every place.

"S-stop! P-please" I panicked and felt a sharp pain everywhere they touched me.

"You should have thought about that before your gay ass said something" Jesse growled and punched me in my face.

At some point there was so much pain in my body that I couldn't feel anything anymore. I wasn't aware of what was happening.

After a while they finally quit, but of course not before threatening me.

"The next time you decide to say something like that again, make sure that you don't have any sharp objects with you" Tyler sneered in my ear and walked away with Jesse as they were laughing in glee.
