Ky stood by his locker. Two large muscular arms wrapped around him as He leaned into the tall frame of Jake. " I love you," Jake whispered, " You make me want to drag u=you into a closet for 24 hours in heaven."

Ky could feel Jake against his back and leaned his head back for a kiss. " Maybe tonight." He whispered, " If you win, I have a present for you." 

Ky couldn't help but tease Jake, even if it affected him just as much if not more. 

" Mr. Young!" The shrewd voice of Mrs. Brown cut through Ky's day dream. He sat bolt up right to the snickers of his classmates. She glared over her glasses at him, " I would appreciate it if you would stay awake in my class." 

Ky nodded, Slinking down in his seat as Mrs.Brown turned back to the board to continue her lecture on immigration and market values. Ky made sure to pay attention as she asked how the main character a young girl made a profit selling herrings. A girl from the soccer team leaned over palming him a note, that He took silently before opening it. 

'Hey dream boy- Don't looked to sad, I'm sure Jake will still be your friend even if he does have a new girlfriend.'

there were two things wrong with this note, Ky decided, one he is a FRIEND of Jake's and two, The thought hadn't even crossed his mind that Jake would ever choose a girl over him. Ky glanced at the girl who had given him the note. A blond girl with purple highlights, and The field hockey starting right forward,Bell; one of Ky's good friends. She hung out with him, Jake and Jake's cousin Drake, and now- Ky thought- Emma. A friend who flirted with everyone and thing and who was decidedly over confident, but a friend. He gave her his best, it's all good smiled before turning is full attention to the board.  But it was for naught because as soon as he got a good look at the board the bell rang, releasing them for their next class. KY picked up his pile of books, and stood to leave.

Bell grinned, knocking her shoulder into his on her way by in a friendly, if teasing, gesture. " see yah at the game, lovah boy." She joked. 

the game tonight... " Shhhhh..." Ky whispered following Bell out the door. 

At lunch Ky grabbed a tray of luke warm potatoes and ham and made his way to the freshmen science room, the same place they had agreed to have lunch this year. Bell was already there her feet on the table and chewing on a sandwich. Drake was on the other side Miming everything she was doing. Jake and Emma where MIA, which bothered Ky more than it should bother him. 

" Ayyye, Handsome," Bell grinned through a mouth full of food. Drake didn't mimic this but  took his feet off the table making room for Ky to put down his tray. 

" How you holding up?" Drake asked sounding genuinely concerned. 

" Against what?" Ky asked poking the mash potatoes with his fork. He was pretty sure they where still alive. 

" well your boyfriend did just get a new girlfriend..." 

" Passed up for the promotion again huh?" Bell added, taking another massive bite. 

Oh how close to the truth they where. Ky smiled in the face of their too close to home jokes, " Bell is that an actual sandwich or-?" 

" Yess Moom" Bell sighed.

" Ok- I can-"

" Its My LiFe MoM" She whined throwing her arms back and almost dropping her sandwich into a sink.

Drake gave her a sympathetic look before leaning back in his chair, almost tipping it over. Ky didn't bother to tell him to stop he wouldn't until he fell over and cracked his head open. Again. " You're going to give him a heart attack, knock it off." Bell ordered. In response He stuck out his tongue and leaned back further. 

" Look at what a lovely couple they make!" Emma smiled, just as Drake fell backwards breaking the chair in two.
