Megan shouted up the stairs. "I'll be down in a minute! We still have an hour before school starts!" I looked around on the floor to see if I could find the necklace Lizzie bought me for my birthday last month. It was just a chain necklace but it had my name written in it. "Yeah but we have to pick up Lizzie!" I got down on my knees and looked under my bed. There was something shiny under there near the middle. Since I have a queen-sized bed, I'd have to get under it a bit to reach it. "I said I'll be one minute! Stop rushing me woman!" Just as soon as I grabbed the necklace, my door swung open and I hit my head on the underside of my bed. "What the hell are you doing under your bed?!" Megan said as I wiggled out from under it. "I had to grab the necklace Lizzie gave me. I promised her I'd wear it today." Megan rolled her eyes, started to exit my room, and mumbled, "If she wasn't a lesbian I would swear you two were dating." She closed the door and before she went down the stairs, I heard her yell to hurry up. I put on the necklace and stepped in front of the mirror. Looking back at me was the same blue eyes I've grown to hate. In my opinion, I am far from cute. I have short brown hair, which is usually spiked, and ocean blue eyes. Right now, you may think I'm cute, but it gets worse. I have glasses and acne. It's not like the acne is so bad that it looks like my forehead is the Rocky Mountains, but it's bad enough to be noticeable from a distance. I also don't do any sports so I'm way out of shape. I'm not fat at all though, I'm like 130 something pounds. So yeah, I look like your average nerd. I grabbed my backpack on the bed and ran down the stairs. "Finally, I thought you'd take forever." Megan said when I reached the bottom of the stairs. She rolled her eyes, something she does all the time. Megan looks just like me, excluding the glasses, the acne, the awkwardness, and people say she is "hot." She's my sister so I have no clue what she is. People have compared her to Megan Fox though, ironic huh? But she isn't as slutty when it comes to appearance. She used to be a cheerleader but was banned from the team because she and Isabella got into a fistfight one year and the principal and coach sided with Isabella. "It's my first day of high school. I have the right to be slow." "No, you have the right to hurry the fu-" "Megan Marie McAlister! Don't you dare say what I think you're going to say!" My mom said, entering into the kitchen with her apron and oven mitts on. She is the oddball in the family. Mom has blonde hair and is short while everyone else has black hair and is tall. "I wasn't going to say that, Mom. I was going to say fudge." Mom stood on her tippy toes and kissed Megan on the forehead. "Be good. I don't want any problems this year. Make your senior year clean." Megan groaned and mumbled, "Yes mom." Mom then kissed me on the forehead, "You two need to head out now before you are late for school. I'm sorry you all couldn't have any breakfast." "We'll get something at school." Megan said. She then headed towards the door and I trailed behind her. "I love you two!" Mom shouted. "Love you too!" Megan and I shouted back simultaneously. Megan shut the door and sighed a sigh of relief. She hates that mom is so...lovey dovey. I don't really mind it, but that's because I'm a "mommy's boy." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "I can't wait 'til we get to school! I wanna see Jessie!" Lizzie shouted when she hopped in the car. Lizzie is my best friend. She and I have been close since preschool when she asked me if she could have my cookies. Now you could never tell that we were friends or even talked to each other. Lizzie is more beautiful than beautiful. She is Hispanic, she speaks both English and Spanish, and has long, silky hair. Like Megan, she used to be a cheerleader. But she quit the team because she couldn't attend any of Jessie's matches if she cheered this year. Jessie plays volleyball. Jessie is a dork, the kind of girl Lizzie likes. I don't mean dork in the bad way by the way. Jessie has brown hair and blue eyes. She has glasses and braces and is really smart. She is probably the smartest chick I know. Jessie wouldn't be considered one of those hot dorks though. She is okay looking, in my opinion. She wears sweatpants and a t-shirt everyday. The only time I've seen her in a dress was when she and Lizzie went on their first date, it was a double date in the sense that Lizzie and Jessie each brought a friend and made it awkward for the two brought along. "I don't know why you're excited, you see her every single day." I said. "Just like how you don't get excited when you're around your crush." Lizzie shouted; she shouts a lot. It's the only thing that makes her a turn off to guys, or well, since she's a lesbian, girls. "Who do you like, Spencer?" Megan asked. Her eyes were focusing on the road but her ears where focusing on me. "I can't say. It's a secret." I like my best friend. Not Lizzie though! She's too... female, yeah, I'm gay, but I'm closeted. The person I like is named Daniel. And yes, it's Daniel, not Danielle. He has short dirty blonde hair and has light blue eyes. Daniel is kinda like me personality-wise, but appearance-wise he looks like something from an A&F magazine ad, in my opinion. But others, like Lizzie, say he looks average. But Lizzie is a Lezzy so she can't judge guys. "Then why does Lizzie know?!" "Because I'm Spencer's best friend!" Lizzie wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me. "But you couldn't keep a secret if your life depended on it!" Megan said laughing. "No I'm not! I never told anyone that I was Jessie's first!" Megan and I started to laugh. "You did just now." I said laughing. "If either of you says anything to her..." Her and Megan then started to threaten each other playfully over the whole secret thing. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ When we finally got to school, I felt like I was going to die. This is the first school I've attended with more than one floor. This school has a total of four. I feel so sorry for the fat kids. The three of us entered the school. Megan left us to go find her group of friends while Lizzie and I went to find Daniel, Kurt, Jessie, and probably Macy. Kurt is Daniel's identical twin. The only difference is that Kurt has green eyes and not blue. He is also athletic and loud, sorta like Lizzie. Macy is Kurt's girlfriend. They just recently got together though, like a week ago. She has bleach blonde hair and light blue eyes. She is really short but really cute. She seems really nice but I've only talked to her a few times though. "There you guys are!" Kurt yelled from behind Lizzie and I. He ran up and hugged me, he does that to me a lot despite the fact he's straight and he thinks I'm straight. "We've been looking for you guys." "Megan's slow ass just got us here. We would have been here a lot earlier if she would have ran a few red lights." "But if she ran them she could have been arrested and then you would have had to walk." Jessie says as she walks up to Lizzie and kisses her on the lips. They only kissed for a second but kept their foreheads together and kept looking into each other's eyes. "If that happened, I would have ran here just to kiss you." They smiled at each other and kissed again. They separated again but with their foreheads touching, again. "I love you babe." They kissed again for the millionth time. "Please stop!" Kurt said. "I don't want to get sick!" "You're just jealous that you can't have this hot piece of ass." Lizzie squeezed Jessie's ass and she yelped. "I have this beautiful girl," Kurt let go of me and pulled Macy into his arms. "She's enough for me." "That would be a first." Daniel finally jumped into the conversation. We all laughed, excluding Macy and Kurt. "So, when are you two going to find girls?" Jessie asked me and Daniel. "I don't need someone to be happy." I answered. "I haven't found anyone special." Daniel answered. "I'm sure there are girls out there for you two!" Mac said, being her cheerful self. Lizzie then said, "Well...one of them." "Shut up!" I yelled. Her and I were the only ones who knew what she meant, everyone else thought I was just a hopeless romantic and there was no one out there for me. "Let's go on a triple date!" Lizzie shouted. "Me and Jessie, Kurt and Macy, and then Daniel and Spencer can go as friends." I gave Lizzie the death glare. I should have known telling her was a bad idea. "Sounds like a plan!" Kurt said. Daniel and I looked at each other and smiled. He waved hi to me and I waved back. I then had to turn away to keep myself from blushing in front of him. "It can be a quadruple date." Macy says. "I'm sure Hannah and Tiffany would be willing to go out with you two." "Daniel! You are definitely going with Hannah!" Kurt said. "She's the second hottest girl at our school!" "And who's the first?" Daniel asked. "Isa-...Macy obviously!" We all laughed at Kurt's stupidity. Macy huffed and walked off. Kurt went chasing after her. "So, do you guys want to go to the gym and find seats for the pep rally?" Jessie asked. "You guys can go ahead. I'm going to go get something to eat." I said to the three of them. "I'll go with you." Daniel said. I looked over at him again and smiled. It's hard not to smile when looking at him. "Well we'll be near the top. One of you two text Macy and Kurt and tell them to meet us up there when they finishing making up." Jessie said. "And out." Lizzie added. They both laughed and Jessie kissed Lizzie on the cheek as a reward for the "great joke." They then left Daniel and I by ourselves and headed towards the gym. "So, how was the last week of your summer?" Daniel asked as we walked to the cafeteria. "Hectic. I had to do my summer reading report! I thought that the posters in middle school were hard, that shit is tough!" Daniel laughed. "I know what you mean. I wish I started it earlier too. It took me forever." "When did you do yours? I don't remember you complaining about it the other night when we were on the phone." "The week after we got the list of books." "You know you suck right?" I looked at him with a serious face. I couldn't hold it long though and started to laugh. "I know I do. But that's why you love me." "That's true." Just then I bumped into the person in front of me. The next thing I knew there was orange juice all over my shirt and I my ass was in pain on the ground. "Watch where you're going!" I heard a familiar voice shout. I looked up to see that Isabella was the person I bumped in to. She's the girl who Megan hates with a dire passion. Like always, she had a guy by her side. He helped her up. What he did next surprised me. He helped me up. "I'm so sorry, Isabella. It's all my fault." "Do I know who you are?" She asked in her bitchy tone. "I'm Megan's younger brother." "Oh, I see the resemblance now. Can't believe that bitch has civilized relatives. Well, less barbaric than her." Isabella wiped the crumbs from her skirt into the floor. I swear if I wasn't gay, I would have been so turned on by that. Isabella is pure Italian so she has long black hair and dark green eyes. Her skin is also tan and she is the epitome of beauty. She's known that her life too. The few times I've seen her or heard her, she's always been using her looks to get what she wanted. "My sister isn't that barbaric." I said kinda defensive. I usually was on anyone's side who was against my sister. "Trust me, she is. And thanks for spilling my food you klutz. I'll be right back Mason," she kissed the guy who she was with. "I have to go get more food." "I'll be right here waiting." Mason said. Isabella then walked off to get more food to probably have something else to bitch about. "I'm so sorry for her." Mason said once she was out of ear shot. "It's okay. I was the one who ran into her." I said. Just then realizing I was covered in orange juice. "No it wasn't." Daniel mumbled. "She is also to blame because she wasn't watching where she was going either." Daniel seemed to get defensive over me when people hurt me, the thing is he usually kept it to himself and insulted the insulter once they were out of ear shot. "Do you need a new shirt?" Mason asked. "I'm sure I have an extra shirt in my football locker that would fit you." Mason is much bigger than me. He looks to be half Asian-half white and is ripped. I can't really see his chest or abs because he has on a loose fitting jersey, but I can just tell. One of his shirts would be a dress for me probably. He also has the same colored eyes as I do. His hair is short and coal black, which I find very attractive. "I have a shirt that would fit him better in my locker." Daniel said with somewhat of an attitude. I don't know why he's acting like this though. He's never been this way before. "Oh, ok." Mason said, looking as confused as I did. "Well, I hope to see you guys later." He smiled and then walked off to where Isabella was. "God, they're asses." Daniel said as we walked off. "That Mason kid seemed to be okay. I don't think he's anything like the other jocks or preps at our school." "That's what he wants everyone to think." I stopped dead in my tracks. "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing. I just don't like it when people try to push you around and then act all nice. Anyone who dates Isabella is as conceited as she is." I rolled my eyes and started to walk again. "So, you have a shirt for me?" "Yeah. I have gym today and during the back to school nigh coach said to bring dress out clothes because we will be started today. But I'd rather take a zero for the day than have you be made fun of." "All you're doing is postponing the insults. It happens every year." "And that's why Kurt and I decided to change that." He entered into the guys restroom and a strong smell of smoke entered out nostrils. My sister told me about the smell but I didn't think it would be that bad. I was sure as hell wrong. "Damn, people and their smoking." Daniel said as he pulled the shirt out of his backpack. I started to pull of my shirt, "I know what you mean. I don't know why we can't have a normal high school." "This is...normal" Daniel said. When I took my shirt completely off, I looked to see why he trailed off. He was starring right at me. I grabbed the shirt in his hand and quickly put it on. "Looks good on you." He said with a smile. The shirt was too big in my taste and Daniel knew it. By the end of the day I would be ready to walk around naked. "Shut up." I said laughing. He and I then left the bathroom and headed to the gym. We went to the top of the bleachers and saw Lizzie, Jessie, Kurt, and Macy waiting for us. "What took you two so long and why are you wearing a different shirt than earlier?" Lizzie asked. "Why is he wearing your shirt, Daniel?" Kirt asked. "I ran into Isabella, like legit ran into her, and her orange juice went all over me." "So I let him borrow my extra shirt for the day." "That's so sweet." Lizzie said. "You'd give your best friend the shirt off your back." "Out of my backpack." Daniel corrected her. We all laughed and Daniel and I seated ourselves. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Who is happy to be here!" The principal shouted into the megaphone. Very few people yelled back. "Okay then, who is happy that summer is over!" Even less people cheered to that. "Who is happy that school is only a half day today!" This time, everyone started to cheer. There were even people who got up and jumped, meaning Lizzie and Kurt had to do so as well. The other four of us sat there and clapped. Macy did shout some, but not a lot. "We have a surprise for you all!" The principal shouted again. "This year, we have the one and only, Mason Glover!" That's when the Mason I say earlier, the one who helped me, ran out to the principal. Majority of the crowd cheered for Mason. "For those of you who don't know who Mason is, he was named the BEST high school wide receiver in the state of California! The best part is he is only a Junior this year so we have him for two whole seasons!" This time there was more cheering. I even clapped some. Daniel sat there with a death glare staring down at Mason. "But we all know that a team doesn't only consist of one person! So welcome the rest of the Harrison Central High School Eagles!" The whole football team ran out onto the court just then. Almost everyone was up and screaming. Our school revolved around sports. Football was our favorite of all of them though. It's our only time that has won state more than ten times since it was opened. The only player I could concentrate on down there was Mason. I know he's dating Isabella and is most likely straight, but I still find myself very attracted to him. I'm the kind of person who falls for personality and not looks but damn, he is gorgeous. I have a thing for Asians and a thing for blue eyes. The only thing is that most Asians don't have blue eyes so I usually settle for one or the other. Lizzie then elbowed me in the side and winked. I rolled my eyes and pointed down to Macy at the end of our row and winked at Lizzie. She smiled and shrugged her shoulders, which meant she would be with Macy. Lizzie is your average stereotypical lesbian when it comes to liking someone. She likes every girl in sight no matter what they look like or how they act. The only girl I know she wouldn't get with would be Isabella and that's because Megan hates her and Lizzie looks up to Megan. "I hate how our school is so obsessed with football." Daniel said with his arms crossed. I have never seen him act like this. It's kinda a turn off. I know some guys find jealousy hot, but if this is it, I don't like it one bit. "What's your problem?" Kurt asked Daniel. "Ever since you and Spencer came up here you've been pissy." "I'll tell you later, okay?" Daniel said still pissy. "And none on your other best friends are suppose to know?" Lizzie asked. "I see what kind of friend you are." "You know I can't say it to everyone, Lizzie." Right now I am so confused. How come the three of them have a secret and I'm excluded. "I need to go to the bathroom." I got up and left. I heard Kurt say something, but I'm unsure of what he said. I didn't want to be around any of them now. Lizzie is one word from outing me, Daniel is pissy, and they are all keeping secrets from me even though I'm suppose to be one of their friends. I walked into the bathroom and headed to the sink. I splashed some water on my face. When I looked up, I saw the one guy I hated more than anyone. Ricky. "Hey there cutie." He said as he came up to me. "Leave me alone Ricky. You know I don't like you at all." "You don't have to like me to fuck me. Even straight guys like it when they get action from me." Ricky is the school slut. He and I have never been friends. Ever since 6th grade he's been very flamboyant and very slutty. I don't have a problem with the flamboyant part, but I have zero tolerance for sluts. "I don't care who or what likes your ass, Ricky. I'd rather not get three or four STDs." I grabbed some paper towels and started to dry my face. "You know everyone is going to figure it out soon. It may be just because I'm gay and I have a very good gaydar, but I know you're gay." I froze right there. I didn't want Ricky to think he was right, but I didn't know what to do. I then felt a pair of hands turn me around and pin me up against the wall. "You know you want me, Spencer. Just say the word and I'll rock your world." He was grinding into me. It felt so good yet so wrong. I closed my eyes and tried to picture myself somewhere else. Just then I heard, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" and I felt the crotch and the hands that kept me to the wall disappear. I slid down to the grown. When I opened my eyes I saw Mason standing there. He had Ricky by the collar. "ANSWER ME!" He shouted in Ricky's face. Ricky just smiled. "All I was doing was trying to get a little action." He then stuck his hands out and rubbed Mason's chest. "You know...I like big muscular guys too. I'm sure Israel or whatever her name is would enjoy watching her boyfriend fuck my brains out." Mason pushed Ricky back into a wall. He didn't do it too hard, just enough to get him off. "Sorry but I don't go for sluts. Now get out." Ricky shrugged. "Fine then, I'll be waiting for you sexy." He wiped off his shirt and exited the bathroom. Mason then turns to me and holds out his hand for me the second time in an hour. "Are you okay?" "I guess so. It's the first time he's tried that though. Usually he just says vulgar things and them moves on if the answer is no." He pulled me up from the ground. "So he's harassed you before?" Mason asked looking concerned. "All through out middle school. I was hoping he would get AIDS over the summer and die." Mason laughed. "Well if you need me, I'm here for ya. By the way, I'm Mason." "I'm Spencer." "My best friend's name was Spencer. He was pretty awesome. You kinda remind me of him." "Is that good or bad?" "Yeah. I did say he was my best friend." He smiled and I nearly melted. "Yeah. Sorry. I'm still not here." "It's okay. Well, I'll see you around Spencer." "See ya." Just as he was leaving I remember something. "How much did you hear of mine and Ricky's conversation?" Right before he shut the door, I heard him say, "All of it." At that moment, I knew my life was over. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Every time I read a story of Nifty, I never read the top part, so just in case you are like me and only read the bottom portion if you liked the story, here is my email again: wah.stories@yahoo.com.
