Subject: Evan and Jacob Chapter 6

I just want to say thanks to my new editor. And to all the nice comments
that I have been getting.



Chapter 6

	You ever have the feeling that burning this mother down seems like a great
idea?
Seeing her all over him I over come with this intense feeling that he was
going to...
contract crabs or worse, actually like her. (Sluts...)
	I hurried to me next class and sat down quickly, wanting nothing more then
to be
done with this horrible day. And then of course he came in, and sat down
next to me and
was his wonderful self.
	"Let me explain", he said before even putting his book bag down.
	"You don't have anything to explain, I don't own you. And besides having a
girlfriend like Amy could be fun. People love living life on the edge and
nothing is
scarier then her", I said rather bitterly, and regretted it almost
immediately.
	"But I do, I want you to know that I... well I like you", he said rather
shyly
against my bitter words.
	"I think you are swell too, maybe when you get the crabs I can administer
the
special shampoo". I did not know why I was so angry, but the thought of
anyone,
especially her, touching Evan just pissed me off.
	"No you dork, I really like you. Like I want to pay to take you to a movie.
Today
after school. And about Amy, she kinda just claimed me and I did not know
what to say.
But she is not all that bad, once you get to know her", he said giggling and
turning
extremely red.
	"Movie-said-you", damn my inability to speak around him.
	"Yes a movie, you know, over priced everything, sticky floors and that same
person that sits in front of you every time that could not have a bigger
head if their father
was an elephant," he laughed out loud this time and people started to look
over at us.
	"Please I am that person with the big head, and I would love too. But don't
think
that I am easy though. For a movie I kiss, for popcorn... you are going to
have to find
out", and I giggled seductively. (Or what I thought was seductively, but
apparently it was
just with a hack. Sexy and I get along about as well as sluts and I get
along)
	The bell rang and for the rest of the period Evan and I laughed and joked
the
whole time. It was a perfect moment, not filled with worries about later.
The questions
that plague my day, those questions without answers, they melted away in his
sweet voice
and musical laughter. I was content to sit and listen. I knew what I had
been missing in
life. And that was Evan.
	The period ended much quicker then I would have liked and I went on to my
fifth
and final one for the day. I was so happy I almost forgot where I was, that
was until I
heard "Fag boy", and reality came crashing down around me again. I hurried
along head
down but smiling to the last hour and a half before I could be with Evan.
	I walked in the door and to my surprise and relief Kenny was sitting in sit
in the
back row. He looked up and waved me over.
	"Dude what's up?", he asked before I had sat down.
	"Evan is not who I thought he was, he is wonderful", I said in a dreamy
voice.
	"You're in love, aren't you", Kenny stated rather than asked.
	Love, no it could not be, I did not believe in love, did I. Love is
something from
the movies, not real today. Love is something binding between two people,
deeper than
either of them can explain. And more powerful then anyone realizes. Love is
a dream, but
I am not a dreamer. At least not before I met Evan, as I thought all this
Evan's face kept
popping into my head. I was in love, and I knew that with love comes pain,
and I was
afraid.
	"I take it by your silence that you are. Be careful dude, I don't want you
getting
hurt", said Kenny in his most sincere and caring voice.
	"Oh come on you make it sound like I am going to come out to the entire
school.
Wait I already did that", I said with a laugh. Kenny was not laughing so I
added, "Thanks
for caring Kenny, but if this is love I don't have a choice but to see it
through until the
end. And then I eat the pain away.
	"Alright well you know I am here if you need me", and with that he turned
his
attention to the teacher who had apparently been talking for a while now.
	The period went fast and with a quick goodbye to Kenny I headed off to
where I
knew Evans car was parked. As I neared the car I saw Evan already sitting in
the car, but
he was not alone. Amy was in the passenger's seat and she was all over Evan.
	"Am I interrupting something?", I asked with more bravery then I usually
had.
	"Yes you are, as a matter of fact", said Amy with a lot of venom behind the
words.
	I just smiled and replied, "That was more then a one word come back, do you
need a nap after that one".
	Evan snorted trying to cover the laugh and then turned to Amy and said, "I
am
taking Jacob home, so you might need to get out".
	She looked like she might explode. "What do you mean you are giving him a
ride,
you know who he is don't you".
	"Evan looked at me and smiled, "Yes he is my friend. And that's all I need
to
know", I was so touched I almost missed the expression on Amy's face.
Almost. (She
looked like a combination of smelling something bad and biting into a lemon.
	Amy regained control quickly and even smiled. "Of course baby, you can be
HIS
friend, as long as you are MY boyfriend". And then she reached over, turned
his face
toward her and laid a big wet one on him.
	I almost reached over and punched her like she was a man, and if Evan had
not
pushed her off I might have. "Well that was... disturbing does not quiet
cover it", I said
with a shiver.
	"Yah well bye Amy", was Evan's startled response.
	Amy slowly got out of the car, blew Evan one last kiss, gave me a look that
would
have dropped the toughest lesbian and walked away. I stood there for a
moment unsure
what to do, get in the car or get Evan some medical help.
	"That was nasty", said Evan as he started spitting outside his window. "Can
we go
now or do you want her to come back?".
	"Of course we can go, if you are still feeling up to it. You are not
looking so
good", I said with a giggle.
	"Oh ha ha, that is not the worst of it, earlier today she kissed me and I
found her
gum in my mouth. I almost threw up in her face".
	I climbed into the passenger sit and Evan looked at me in that special way.
We
pulled out of the parking lot and his hand found its way into my lap again.
It was warm
and I was in heaven. I did love him, and I was more afraid of that than of
coming out. A
date with the boy of my dreams and all I can think about is, my fear. I am
an idiot.
