Subject: Dork Chapter 11
Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy chapter 10 and 11. I know it's been a while
since I've been writing but I hope that these two chapters will suffice for
the time being. Hope to hear from all you readers. ENJOY! :D P.S. if you
want this series to keep on going, tell what you like about this story!
Chapter Eleven: Androgynous
"Can you believe were almost done with our junior year? We only
have three more months and we'll be done for the year. Then we have summer
vacation. Summer beach house, here we come!" Declan yelled pumping his left
fist in the air. "And if I get Fang's permission, Ryan and I can have the
best summer of our lives! Have you told Adam yet?"
"I don't think I'm going to last with Adam," Riley sighed.
"Whoa, what do you mean? I thought you said you two were soul
mates," Declan asked stopping right in front of the gym doors.
"Adam and I haven't had sex in months. I know a relationship
isn't just about sex but to tell you the truth, without sex, we have
nothing in common."
"Riley what are you talking about you two have all sorts of
chemistry."
"You obviously know me and Adam then I do so tell me, what do
Adam and I have?"
Declan stood beside his best friend, arms crossed, as he tried
to come up with some sort of similarity that Adam and Riley shared that
wasn't based on just their physical traits.
"Okay maybe you two don't have any similarities, but don't you
love him?"
"Yes I love him but I don't think I'm in love with him. I think
what got me so drawn into him was because he looked so innocent and I just
wanted to have a little boy toy of my own."
"Hey now, Ryan is not my boy toy; he's my boyfriend."
"You know what I mean. Maybe I'm not even bisexual, maybe I'm
just one of those guys that like to fuck ass."
"You kissed a guy though."
"I know, that's why I'm so confused. Maybe if I had another
guy, then maybe I could figure out if I really do have a thing for men. But
I'm telling you right now that Adam isn't doing anything for my cock or
me. But I don't want to break up with Adam knowing that he has nowhere to
go."
"Maybe you can get him and his parents back together? I mean
when Fang came in and took Ryan away from me it made a strain on our sex
life because we weren't together all the time but it made our relationship
stronger because we weren't together all the time. Maybe all you need is
space."
"You don't want me to break up with Adam, do you?"
"I just don't want you to break up with him and then realize
that you really do want to be with him. And then maybe he wouldn't want to
be with you anymore because you broke his heart."
"Have you been reading those sappy romance novels again
Declan?"
"No, I'm being dead serious. Just give it a second thought."
"So how are you and Riley?" Ryan asked sitting at his usual
chair by the lunch table.
"We're perfect! I can't believe that someone like Riley could
ever fall for someone like me but here I am with a man built like the
Gods!" Adam said as he stretched his back.
"What about your sex life?"
"Riley and I have come to an agreement that we don't need sex
to be in love."
"Riley? Riley Munroe, no longer needs sex? You've got to be
kidding me, he's a sex fiend."
"He understands that after my experience with my first man that
I can't handle the type of sex that he likes and—."
"He understands or you think he understands?" Ryan asked.
"I don't need to tell him that, we just have that kind of
relationship. Do you really think that Riley would want to have sex with me
after everything that happened?"
"Wait, are you saying you two have never had sex?"
"Precisely, every single time I've tried to have sex with him I
simply cannot. And every time I tell I can't, he's completely
understandable and that's what I love about him. We have never had sex and
we're still in love with each other. How can you have sex when you yourself
had sex with—."
"At first, I couldn't then after awhile I got over it. I can't
let something like that tie me down forever. Plus being with Declan is a
completely different feeling than being with Drake. When I'm with Declan, I
just feel like nothing can bring me down, not even Drake. Maybe if you just
try again with Riley, you won't let your experience with Drake tie you
down."
"I already told you Ryan, I don't need sex to be happy and
neither does Riley."
"Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent. Now can we move on to a different
top—?"
"Can I sit here?"
Ryan and Adam turn to the person behind the voice and there
stood a light-skinned Asian guy with white hair styled into a pompadour. He
wore an oversized Joan Jett t-shirt with faded black skinnies. He also had
black high-top sneakers with white laces and black and white DJ-style
headphones resting on his neck.
"Um y-yeah s-sure," Adam stuttered.
"I'm Ryan and this is Adam," Ryan said as the guy took a seat.
The guy looks at Ryan and then looks at Adam, both of them
staring at him. The guy sighs, rolls his eyes, and puts on his headphones.
"Did he just ignore us?" Adam asked.
"Aren't you the detective or was my brother right when he
called you `Ace Defective?'"
"I was just trying to strike up a conversation, jeez," Adam
sighs as he stares at the guy. The guy looks up and glares at Adam. Adam
tries to look away but notices that the guy's left eye is completely whited
out like he was possessed.
"Is there something I can help you with?" the guy asked with
his headphones still on.
"Hey guys!" Fang said with Blaine right behind him. "Who's your
new friend?"
"We don't know, he keeps ignoring us," Ryan said.
"I can understand that," Fang laughed. "Well Blaine and I are
going to class, later losers."
"See ya!" Blaine said as he left with Fang as he grabbed Fang's
right wrist.
"Hey Adam, did you see Blaine just now?"
"Sorry I'm busy," Adam said glaring back at the guy.
"Hey guys," Declan said as he and Riley got to the
table. "Who's this?"
"We already accomplished this with Fang and Blaine, we don't
know!" Ryan explained.
"Fang and Blaine were here?"
"They're always here in the middle of lunch, but anyway I saw
Blaine grab Fang's wrist. I think you were right when you asked if they
were dating."
"Well what did Fang do?"
"He didn't do anything, he just let him do it."
Riley rolled his eyes at Ryan and Declan's conversation and sat
in-between Adam and the guy. Riley turned to the guy. He squinted his eyes
and moved closer to the guy. Suddenly his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"Tony?!" Riley yelled.
The guy's eyes widened and looked at Riley.
"It is you! Tony, it's been so long. The last time I saw you,
you were—!"
"Shut your fucking mouth, Riley Munroe," Tony said slamming his
hands on top of the table.
"You're name is Tony?" Adam asked.
"Riley, if we were ever friends, you will shut your fucking
mouth. You better not tell anymore who I am or I swear I will make you
regret it," Tony said as he stood up.
"Hey don't threaten my boyfriend!" Adam yelled.
"Adam shut up!" Riley yelled.
"But Ri—."
"I said shut up, Adam! I don't want to hear you yell at Tony
ever again, you hear me?"
"R-Riley, I—I'm sorry," Adam said looking down at the
tabletop.
Suddenly everyone in the cafeteria turned their attention
towards the group's table. On the girls from the cheerleaders nearby stood
up and yelled, "Andros! Oh my god, it's Andros!" Tony looked around and all
eyes were on him.
"Fuck!" Tony yelled as he ran through the crowd.
"Andros? You mean that popstar turned actor that disappeared
from the media two years ago?" Declan asked. "And you know him?"
"When we were kids, I knew him as Tony Nguyen not Andros. Back
then; he was the sweetest kid I've ever met. He was my best friend before
you Declan."
"What happened?"
"His parents wanted him to pursue a music career so he moved
away just at the start of middle school and I never heard from him again."
"How come you never told me you were friends with Andros?"
"Hold on a second, why is his name Andros? You said his name is
Tony so I don't understand how Andros comes from Tony," Ryan asked.
"Andros is short for his stage name, Androgynous. His manager
gave him that name since it would sell more than just Tony Nguyen and it
also makes sense because he can pass for a boy or a girl depending how he's
dressed up. Declan, the reason I never told you about Tony was because it
wouldn't have mattered if I told you that I was friends with a popstar
before I met you. It's not something guys usually talk about anyway."
"So why are you so protective of him?" Adam asked with his arms
crossed.
Riley looked back at Adam who was biting his lip.
"I guess that's just how I am around him. Speaking of which, I
think we should go look for him before those fangirls and fanboys find
him."
"Fuck him, he can take care of himself," Adam said placing his
feet on top of the table.
"How can you sit there and act like that, Adam?"
"You care more about an outdated popstar than you care about
me. You yelled at me just because I yelled at him. Do you love him more
than you love me?"
"It's not like that, Adam. He's my friend that I haven't seen
since I was a kid."
"Why don't you just break up with me, since you love him so
much, more than you love your own boyfriend."
"Fine, if that's what you want, because to tell you the truth,
I was going to break up with you anyway. Go take your stupid detective
shit, your fucking sex starved ass, and your crazy fucking jealousy
elsewhere!"
"Fuck you, Riley!" Adam said as he grabbed his briefcase and
ran off.
"Um I'm gonna go after Adam, make sure he's okay. You two go
look for Tony," Ryan said as he ran after Adam.
"Are you okay?" Declan asked Riley.
"I'm fine. Adam was just getting on my fucking case. I feel
relieved that I'm no longer with that tease anyhow. Now are you going to
help me look for Tony or not?"
"Yeah, I guess so, I'll go to the right, and you go to the
left. Text me if you find him," Declan said as he ran off.
"Tony, you better still hide in the same place as when we were
kids," Riley said to himself as he ran outside.
Once outside, Riley ran through the parking lot and into the
football field. He looked around and noticed that all the fans were
searching tightly around the school and from the windows, inside also. He
also noticed that no one was paying attention to him not even his usual
flock of girls. Riley let out a gentle exhale and walked towards the end of
the empty steel bleachers. Lifting up his heels, Riley tiptoed through the
grey gravel. Once he neared the bottom of the bleachers, he jumped and
said, "Boo." But Tony wasn't there, just more grey gravel. Riley let out a
slow sigh and walked towards the crowd of trees on the far right side of
the field. Riley sat under the trees enjoying the gentle breeze and the
nice shade provided by the bunch of trees surrounding him.
"Fuck, Tony where are you?" Riley said to himself.
Riley looked up and was suddenly struck with a dozen of
acorns. Riley rubbed his head and looked up again and saw Tony sitting
above on a branch.
"Tony!" Riley yelled.
"Will you be quiet for once in your life?" Tony said as he
climbed down then slipped, fell and landed on Riley's lap. "Thanks for
catching me."
"I didn't really have a choice, now did I?" Riley laughed.
"Why are you here anyway?" Tony asked as he hopped off of Riley
and landed beside him. "Are you looking for a piece of Andros too?"
"I could care less about Andros, I came here looking for Tony
Nguyen; or does that guy not exist anymore thanks to fame and money?"
"Trust me, I'd do anything to be normal again. I bet you're
wondering why I'm even back."
"Well it wouldn't hurt to know why my popstar best friend would
just come back here. There's nothing really here except trees and more
trees."
"Then why do you stay? You can easily go anywhere with the
money your dad makes."
"Well I guess it's because I like the people here. I like the
feel here. When I'm at my vacation home, it's nice just to get away from it
all but I know I wouldn't like staying there the entire time cause it just
doesn't have that homey feel to it," Riley explained. "So are you going to
tell me your reason why you're back?"
"Well do you remember how strict my parents were with me?"
"Oh yeah, I remember that they got mad at you because you were
hanging around me too much. I guess it didn't help that you came out to
them after fifth gra—."
"That's when I moved away. They said you were making me
gay. But they finally accepted me in eighth grade."
"Well that's good to hear, well that they accept you but not
because they thought that I was making you gay. Why would they say that?"
"Because at that time, I told them that—that I—," Tony
paused trying to form words.
"Because you what?" Riley asked looking at Tony.
"Stop looking at me with those eyes Riley. Just f-forget about,
okay?"
"Oh come on, just tell me Tony," Riley said as he scooted
closer to Tony, his left hand accidently landing on top of Tony's right
hand.
"You shouldn't be this close to me. You have a boyfriend,
Riley. Which I guess my parents were right when they said you were making
me gay, to a point."
"Adam and I aren't together anymore and I'm not gay, I'm
bisexual."
"Why aren't you two together anymore? It's cause of me isn't
it?"
"Well—."
"I knew it. I always was trouble for men."
"You're getting the wrong idea. My relationship with Adam had
already flat lined a while ago, it was just taking me some time to break it
off with him. I didn't want to come off as an ass when I did, he's
fragile."
"You, gentle? I remember as a kid you were always the mean one
and I was the shy one. How things change. Well I guess not entirely since
well look at you," Tony smiled. "I'm pretty sure you'll get a guy or chick
any time soon."
"You wanna feel?" Riley asked taking off his shirt.
"How can I say no when you're offering so willingly?" Tony said
as he sat on Riley's lap and rubbed his hands on his chest and abs. Tony
looked at Riley and blushed.
"What?" Riley smiled.
"Nothing, I just—I hope you don't take this the wrong way,
but I missed you Riley," Tony said looking away.
"Really? You missed me?" Riley asked shocked.
"My first album was all about you. I developed somewhat of a
boy crush on my best friend. The reason why my parents decided to move so
suddenly was because I told them that I was in love with you and that we
were going to get married. How foolish was I, Riley? Thinking about it now
is beyond laughable."
"Why is it funny?"
"Well I could never see you having feelings for me. I mean we
were so close as kids, but now it's like we're completely different
people. I just—."
Riley stopped Tony's words by kissing him on the lips. Slowly
parting his lips, Riley pulled away and smiled. Tony sat still, star stuck
as he looked at his childhood friend smiling right at him. Tony could feel
his blood rushing to his fair skinned cheeks as he slowly smiled.
"To tell you the truth Tony, when I saw you sitting right next
to me, I couldn't believe it at first. It's been so long and you still look
the same, just taller and more toned. But right when I saw you, I
immediately couldn't stop having sexual fantasies about you."
"Normal people would probably call you a creep after that, but
after sitting on your crotch for a while, I know what you're packing. I
guess you can say I'm flattered."
"Sorry about my crotch, I just can't stop thinking about you."
"My car is in the parking lot. If you want, we could—."
"I don't want you to force yourself just so you can—."
"It's alright. I haven't had sex in a long time. And I've never
had sex with a guy that I wanted to have sex with. The offer still stands,
Riley."
"Where's your car?"
"In the red lot, where apparently everyone avoids according to
the principal."
"Perfect. We can have all the time we want."
