My other story is Hayden's Story, it's here under the High School section. If you like this story then you should check it out because there are some similarities except this one doesn't have sex. So if that's what you were looking for I'm sorry. My shorter stories may have sex but this story will contain no sex, there may be references to sex, but I will not go into detail. If you like this story, contact me at wah.stories@yahoo.com. I strongly encourage it. Also, If you want to be on my e-mail list to find out when the next chapter comes out, please include that in the email! I forgot to ask that for Hayden's Story, but one of my epic fans reminded me to do that. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Spencer's perspective- "You're gonna have to tell me all about Dusty." Trey said. He and I were walking through the park. He wanted to meet up and since fall was coming soon, we decided to go to the park one last time before it became too cold. "He's cute. But straight as an arrow. He also has this cute southern accent! It's not that strong, so it's like perfect." "Well howdy there partner." Trey said in a deep southern accent. "It's nice to finally meet the man of my dreams. You wanna go hop on my pony and ride into the sunset?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Thanks but no thanks. I hate horses." "Really?" He asked. "Yeah. They're just like...scary." He laughed. "I love horses! My mom rode them when she was a little girl so she made me ride one in when I was five. I fell in love with him and soon the horse and I were inseparable. But then we moved here and since my dad thought that since we were moving to Cali, we should become Californians, so I lost the horse. My mom wasn't happy, but she stopped bitching when dad pulled out a new pair of diamond earrings." "Where did go live before here?" "Kentucky. I hated it though. I lived there until I was eleven but still hated it. Somehow I knew I was gay, and there everyone, even elementary kids, bash gays. I hated school and my friends, that's how I got close to the horse." "Please tell me you and the horse didn't get that close though." I said laughing. He hit me on the arm. "You are a pervert and a freak." He smiled and draped his arm on my shoulders. I looked at him and he looked back. "What? I'm cold." I said, "I bet your lips will be cold next." He then blushed and looked away. I laughed but also blushed. "Okay, so back to Dusty..." He said trying to change the subject. "He's a pretty awesome dude. I'll think he'll add some variety to our group." "A Mexican, a cute guy nerd, a flaming homosexual, a guy who no one is sure about, a cheerleader, a cute female bookworm, and a...well...Kurt. I totally don't think that's enough variety." "Daniel is straight." "He isn't. Everyone but you can see that." "I'm pretty sure my gaydar would have gone off by now." "You're gaydar must be broken then because I get like a full 10 when he's around you." "The scale goes up to 1,000." I said. He rolled his eyes. "You are stubborn." "I know, that's why you lo- like me." "That's true." He smiled and we continued to walk. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Where are Macy and Kurt at?" I asked as I walked up to the breakfast table with Lizzie by my side. "I don't know." Hannah said. "I don't think he likes the additions to the group." "Who do you mean by additions?" Dusty asked. Since he was the newest to the group. "Well, there's you and then there's Trey." Hannah said. I was about to say she wasn't and still isn't an original, but what good would that do since her head is stuck up her ass? "I'm pretty sure that isn't why they aren't here." I said. Just then I saw Mason and Isabella walk into the cafeteria. Mason looked as gorgeous as he always does and Isabella looks like the bitch she always is. Isabella looked over at our table and gave Lizzie the death stare, you could tell Isabella had makeup over her black eye. "Hey Izzy!" Hannah shouted. Of course, she would be friends with the queen of her kind. Isabella smiled and waved back at Hannah. "So, anything new with any of you?" Lizzie asked. "We have a project in US History, Liz." I told her. "Oh yeah!" She said. "Wait! That was due today?! I haven't even started that shit!"? I laughed. "We're getting our partners assigned today." "Thank god! I hope you and I get paired together." "So I'll do all the work?" I asked with a smile. "I'd write my name on it, but everything else you'd do." Everyone laughed because we all knew it was true. Lizzie never did projects, no matter how easy they were. The bell then rang so we all headed our separate ways. "I don't like Hannah." Jessie said. "She's a bitch." Trey added. "Congrats on finally seeing what everyone else sees." Lizzie said to Trey. "I've known it, just didn't want to hurt any feelings." Lizzie let out a loud laugh. "You seriously think any of us like cheer leaders? Cheer queers, yes, but cheer leaders, no." Jessie slapped her on the arm. "How many times do I have to tell you to not use that word!" Lizzie looked down at her phone. "I've actually recorded it!" She pressed a few buttons. "This will be...the sixth time this month." Lizzie had a big smile on her face. "I don't know why I love you, but I do." Jessie kissed Lizzie on the lips. When they separated, they held their foreheads together and smiled at each other. It's hard to believe they fight almost all the time. "Umm...I guess I'll see you later." Trey said, awkwardly standing there. "Yeah. Back at ya." We stood there and waited for Lizzie and Jessie to separate so Jessie and I could get into first period before the bell rang. I really wanted to just lean in and kiss him, but I wanted to take things slow. "I'll see you at lunch, babe." Lizzie said. They finally separated. "Come on, love boy number two, we gots to get to class." Just then Trey leaned in quickly and gave me a quick peck on the lips. He then turned a bright red, I did too. "Umm...I guess I'll umm...see you in second?" He was looking away to try to hide him blushing. "Yeah. You will." Jessie then pulled me into the classroom and Lizzie dragged Trey down the hallway to class. "You know you two act like you're dating. Why don't you two just make it official." "I honestly don't know. I'm just...not sure it would be right." We headed back to our seats and sat down. "Is it because of Daniel?" I rolled my eyes. "Why does everyone think I'm obsessed with Daniel?" "Because, you are." Just them, Daniel walked in, Hannah was right behind him. She kissed him on the lips and she then left. Daniel saw me and Jessie sitting back here and decided to join us. "Hey Spencer. We haven't talked a lot recently. What's up?" Daniel seemed like her actually cared about me, but I just wasn't sure. "Everything's okay. Just getting ready for English." He smiled. "Yeah. So how are you and Trey getting along?" "Slowly. We're still just friends." "Oh." I could see him relax a little more. "That's good. Right?" "Yeah." Mr Hampton walked in and I let out a quiet sigh. I don't know why but I wasn't ready to talk to Daniel. I know nothing has happened, but it just feels awkward now that everyone apparently knows I like him and they say he likes me. "Okay class, today we're going to be working in groups of three, today we'll be going over the pre-tests you took. First you will work in your groups to see what you think the answer is as a group, then we'll discuss it as a class and I'll tell you why each answer is right or wrong." The sigh of relief then went back in. I knew I'd be working with Daniel and Jessie. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Okay class! Who's ready to find out who their partners will be for the big project due at the end of the semester?!" Mrs. Hamilton said with a smile. She's mine and Lizzie's US History teacher. Nobody raised their hand except for the dorkiest kid in the class, I was only the second dorkiest so it wasn't me. "Well fine then." Mrs. Hamilton said kinda upset. You would think she would know that big projects are hated by every teenager, especially ones that are to be done outside of school. "I'm going to put the list up on the board with the projector. I put you in pairs of two, but since we have an odd number there is one group of three." She started fiddling around on the computer and then turned the screen on. Lizzie sat there with her fingers crossed, she was wanting the to be in the group of three with me and Sheldon, the nerd referred to earlier. Once the list was up there, I started to search for my name. There were the few yay's and aww's when people found out who their partner was, but nothing compared to what Lizzie done. She saw she was in the group of three with Sheldon and the smartest chick in the room. Lizzie legit got out of her seat and screamed and jumped with joy. When I finally found my name, I looked into the other column to see who was my partner. All I can say is I nearly peed myself with fear and happiness. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "I guess we'll be working together on this stupid thing." Mason said with a smile. "Yeah. I guess." Mason Glove was my partner! I'd be working with him this whole semester! I couldn't wait to be alone with him! I knew nothing would happen since he's straight, but a gay guy can dream can't he? "So, what were you wanting to do for this project?" He asked. He sat down at the desk beside mine. "I was thinking we could do the history on the American flag. I know it sounds boring, but we could make a flag or two on our own for the homemade part of the project." "That sounds good. But what about a synthesis essay on the way different races and immigrants were treated through-out time. That would give us an edge in this class since we'd talk about some of it in class, and then we'd also learn some other things for the essay." He actually sounded smart, unlike the rest of the football players in the school. "I actually like that idea. It wouldn't be that hard either. But you know it has to be at least ten pages right?" "Yeah." He smiled. "Believe it or not I have thought of things to do for this project. Oh yeah! My uncle works at this shop where they make paper, so we could talk to him and see if there would be any way we could do that and make the paper for the essay like the paper used for the Declaration of Independence." I smiled at him. "You have thought this through. I think we should also use homemade ink. I could look that up so we could make it. Do you have good penmanship?" I asked him. He laughed. "Not really." He looked down at the papers on my desk. "You're writing is a lot better than mine, so sadly you'll have to do the writing." "I'm okay with that." He laughed. "So, when and where should we meet up?" "How about Friday? I have a car so I can take us to the library after school. We don't have practice on Friday so that should work out." "Doesn't Isabella have cheer practice though?" "Yeah but she'll just get one of the other girls to take her home. She hates it when I pick her up and I'm not all sweaty and in my football stuff. She says she wants to make the other girls jealous." He laughs again. He forgot to mention gay guys. "I should have guessed." We laughed a little. "I'll ask my mom about Friday, but I should be able to." "Sweet!" He said. He actually sounded happy about me and him working together on this thing. I was excited because he seemed to be smart and he was extremely gorgeous. Why wouldn't I be excited to be near him more? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Lucky ass mother fucker!" Lizzie shouted as we walked to Lunch. "I bet you hope he bends you over and taps that ass of yours!" Thankfully Jessie was there to slap Lizzie on the arm. "Where did you get your mouth from?" I asked her. "Well I am Mexican..." Me, Lizzie, Jessie, and Trey laughed. Trey was standing to my left and everyone once in a while our hands would touch and he would smile. By the time we got into the cafeteria, we were holding pinkies. I know that's a little kid thing, but I thought it was cute. "So, you two make it official?" Macy asked as the little herd who just came in sat down. "We're not dating." Trey and I said simultaneously. "We're not dating!" Lizzie said mockingly. "We're only friends even though we secretly fuck like bunnies!" Kurt joined in on the teasing. "If we made it official would you two shut up?" I asked Kurt and Lizzie. "Yes! Lizzie shouted. "Duh!" Kurt shouted. "Fine." I then looked towards Trey. "Trey, would you like to be ... umm ... boyfriends?" He smiled. "Duh!" He then leaned in and kissed me. This time I actually kissed back. I could hear Macy, Lizzie, and Jessie aww and Kurt say eww. I really didn't care though, I was kissing Trey! We didn't kiss for long though, we knew the homophobes would say something if we kept going on. "Now was that hard?" Kurt said. "I think it was." Lizzie said. "But it wasn't harder than Spencer was during that kiss." I started to blush and the two idiots started to laugh. "I don't know how you have been able to handle them all this time." Macy said laughing. "I would have killed myself or them by now." Trey said. "Hey!" Lizzie shouted. "Kurt and I are great friends to Spencer. If it weren't for us, well his life would suck. I mean just look at us! I'm the sexiest and most awesome chick here and Kurt is...well...he's Kurt!" "Dude, not cool." Kurt said. "I'm the sexiest and most awesome guy." This caused us all to laugh. "What's so funny?" Hannah asked as she walked up to the table with Daniel right behind her. She sat down beside Trey. "It's nothing." Kurt says. He suddenly went from his normal self to his irritated self. When I looked over at Hannah, I could see hatred in her eyes too. Something must've happened between them. "We really need to go out as a group this weekend." Daniel said. "I can't. Mason and I are starting our project in US History this weekend." I said. "I'm really sorry dude. But you all can still go out and do something." "I'm completely free since the nerds are gonna do my project. Get this, they told me they'd do everything because they didn't want their grade to drop! I seriously love my group." "Hey, Spencer. Umm...could we like talk...privately?" Daniel asked. "What are you going to talk to him about?" Hannah said. "He said it's private, so butt out. Do people have to repeat things over and over so you'll understand or are you just that dumb?" Kurt said. Lizzie nearly choked on her mashed potatoes. Once that was no longer a problem, she started to laugh. She even legit fell into the floor. Everyone was staring at her while she rolled in the floor at something that wasn't even that funny. Kurt, Macy, Trey, and Jessie obviously smiled and giggled a little bit. Daniel gave Kurt the death stare. I got up and grabbed his arm and dragged him into the bathroom. It was the same bathroom I was nearly raped in and the bathroom Daniel offered me a shirt in. I knew something was going to happen. "What's your problem with me?! Every since the group date thing, you've avoided me! You always find excuses to leave and it's pissing me off! All I want is to talk to you and you keep avoiding me! Please tell me what I did to deserve this." I could see he was about to cry. "You didn't do anything. It's me." "Then what's it with you? Why can't I have my best friend back?" "I don't know. When I see you around Hannah and when I'm around Trey, it's just...I don't know. It just feels awkward." "Neither of them are in our first period and you still shunned me." "I didn't shun you." "Then what do you call it?" He asked me. "Being careful." "What are you worried about?" "I'm worried that I'll do something stupid and fuck up your relationship! I'm worried I'll fuck up everything I have with Trey! I'm worried I'll lose you for good if I'm not careful! Every time I see you with Hannah I get jealous. I get jealous because ... because I love you! I want to be the one that feels your lips! I want to be the one in your arms! I want to be the one who talks to you `til one of us falls asleep! I want-" He interrupted me by placing his lips on mine. At first I was shocked, but then I melted in his arms. I was barely able to hold myself up. Thankfully his arms were around me and I didn't go crashing to the ground. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
