Subject: Love for Cyn

The bell rang shrilly in the near distance. I swore angrily, tucked my
books under my arm and broke into a sprint. Looking down at my watch I
swore again. I'd been caught day dreaming once again as I walked to school
and was still nearly a mile away. To make matters worse my first class
today was English, and the teacher Mrs.Lenax wasn't one of my biggest
fans. A few minutes later I skidded to a halt outside the classroom and
tumbled into the room. A few people sniggered as I bent over panting,
trying to gasp out an excuse for my tardiness between breaths. Mrs.Lenax
quelled the classes amusement with a glare then turned to me "Late again,
Mr Mcgrathy. And to what improbable series of events do you blame this
latest delay to my class?" I took a deep breath and stood up straight, at
over a foot and a half taller then Mrs.Lenax and she still managed to
intimidate me until I felt like a wriggling pile of slugs. "Sorry ma'am, I
was taking it slow because of my injured ankle and didn't realise I was so
short on time" hastily I made a show of putting as little weight as
possible on my right ankle and adopted a wince as I took a step backwards.
The class laughed and the corners of Mrs.Lenaxs' mouth twitched in
amusement "Oh very well, I can hardly put you in detention after such an
admirable effort to make up lost time, even though you suffered terrible
pain after such a run on your injured ankle" she remarked dryly, then
directed me to my usualy seat towards the back of the class. I let out a
relived sigh and headed towards my desk, careful to limp slightly as I did
so.

As I walked down the isle a couple of my class mates threw me a quick wink
or gave me five as discreetly as possible. I neared my desk and my best
mate Cyntiusz gave me a quick grin. As it had every day since the day I met
him, my heart seemed to skip a beat as he smiled at me. I tried to ignore
it as I grinned back and tossed him a wink, ruffling his hair as I stepped
behind his chair and sat down in mine. He leaned to his right and whispered
out the corner of his mouth "You cut that one abit close Jase, noticing
pretty shapes in the clouds again as u dawdled to school huh? Your lucky
you can pull off that puppy-dog-eyes trick even when your panting like a
dog, it's the only reason she didn't stick you in detention" he chuckled
slightly as he sat up straight again, I tried to think of a biting
come-back but was distracted as Mrs.Lenax cast a look in our direction, her
30 years of teaching lending her some sense that we were misbehaving. I
quickly pulled out my books and sat up listening to her intently.

I suppose instead of boring you with Mrs.Lenaxs' English lesson I should
give you a bit of background info before we continue with the story. My
names Jason Mcgrathy, though no body calls me that unless I've been a bad
boy, which isn't too regular. Everyone calls me Jase, I'm 16 and in year 10
at Saint Joseph's College on the Gold Coast Australia. I'm just under 6
foot 3, have short blonde hair streaked with light brown, dark brown
eyebrows and long black eyelashes that look unusual with my blonde hair and
green/grey eyes, a decent tann from spending so much time swimming and
playing sports, strong jaw, rather thin pink/red lips and a thin straight
nose with abit of a bump in the middle, evidence of a minor break from a
hokey ball to the face. Broad shoulders narrowed down to a slim yet well
defined chest, slim waist, firm flat stomach with a decent 6-pack, leanly
muscled arms and long runners legs. The over all effect meant that I was
above-average handsome, have a good attitude friendly nature and tend to
get along with most people. I'm a fairly normal 16 year old guy in most
ways. I love my sports, usualy win every swimming comp I join and do fairly
well in most other events, hang out with my mates whenever I can, and oh
yea, did I mention I was in love with my best friend?

Cyntiusz (pronounced Sin-ti-us) Valarious, or Cyn as I call him, the cutest
boy I'd ever met. He moved to Australia from Poland when he was 13, and
joined our school at the same time. I guess that means I've known him for 3
years and roughly 2 weeks and a day. He's been my best friend for roughly 3
years 2 weeks and 3 quarters of a day, and I've been in love with him for 3
years 2 weeks and a day. He's 5 foot 6 with soft blonde hair with a slight
silver tint, just long enough to reach his eyes and thicker at the
back. Lightly tanned perfect skin with thin light brown eyebrown, waxed to
a slightly exotic angle, long eye lashes slightly enhanced by a light
amount of mascara, eyes the colour of ice with a tint of grey/blue, fine
slightly upturned nose and full lips over perfect small white teeth. A slim
neck shoulders and chest and flat stomach, small fine hands and a fit
body. He was without doubt the most gorgeous guy around, and openly gay.

Now I can probably guess what your thinking about now. He's openly gay, and
also happens to be single, and I love him. So I guess your thinking..DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT DUDE! Yes well I can't realy explain why after 3 years I
haven't. Until the moment I met him I would have vowed I was straight as a
ruler. And when I was just getting to know him, the feelings I felt left me
extremely confused. I think for the first few weeks after we met he must
have thought I had an eating disorder or something 'cause being around him
generaly left me with a feeling like I had lead weights in my stomach and I
could rarely bring myself to eat near him for the better part of a
month. Anyway after trying to convince myself for nearly half a year that
my attraction to him was understandable, after all for a guy he was as
stunning as they came. But obviously the feelings did not go away, and
after a time I just convinced myself that I had no chance with him, and
even if I did, his friendship meant more to me then anything else in the
world, and I didn't want to risk it. After all he might say "no", or we
could get together and then break up and our friendship would be lost. So
here I was 3 years 2 weeks and a day later, still his best friend, and
while I wished for more, I was very happy and fairly content with things
the way they were.

SMACK! The sound of Mrs.Lenaxs' ruler slamming down on her desk brought me
rudely out of my thoughts. "If you would kindly answer the question Mr
Mcgrathy?" question?QUESTION!? shit! I looked around wildly wondering what
she had just asked me prior to the ruler-snapping. As I opened my mouth to
ask her to repeat the question(a sure death-sentence)I noticed Cyn
scribbling a word on the corner of his note pad. I blurted "Shakespeare!"
She frowned at me, then her eyes flickered towards Cyn. He stared back at
her innocently. "Yes you are correct, Shakespeare was the Author of that
particular quote, and that will be your homework this evening. In 500 words
or more describe exactly what Shakespeare meant by it, and the reason that
particular quote did not gain much fame, as meaningful as it is. Class
dismissed." With a collective groan over the homework and a great scraping
of chairs the entire class got to their feet and made their way towards the
door. For the second time today I sighed gratefuly."You know I can't always
save your ass Jase, you might want to consider paying attention in English
from time to time" I rolled my eyes as I slipped my books in my bag and
swung it over my shoulder, "Yea yea, you and I both know that anything
involving my ass, you'll happily do!" Cyn blushed furiously and I laughed
loudly and caught him in a headlock, ruffling his hair once again. Cyn
laughed and yelled at the same time, then cursed in Polish. "And what
exactly did you just call me!?" He switched back to English "I said your
zipper is open!" I quickly let him go and looked down...no it wasn't. Now
it was my turn to blush as he ran off ahead laughing tauntingly back at me,
I ground my teeth, furious at myself for being taken by such a stupid
trick, and sprinted after him vowing I'd throttle his cute little neck when
I caught him.
