But I decided to wrote something new so I wrote this I hope you like and please e-mail me to historias46@hotmail.com Pumpkin 1 - I'm starving- Gill said- I have to eat, if I don't eat I'll never survive to the stupid chemistry test... - Don't worry, I'll go with you outside and you'll buy a nice croissant, I just want to say one thing to Michele- I said Me and Gill were near the library waiting for Michele to come, Michele was an African girl that I was always bothering, there were people that thought that I liked her, but they were all wrong, she was really annoying and I liked when she started to get pissed off. But I didn't want to stay there for too long. Right next to the library was the football field, and that's were Gill's crush went during the school's breaks. Who is Gill's crush you ask? Well, Gill's crush is a guy, yes you heard me , it is a guy, Gill( a guy) likes another guy, so that makes Gill gay( duh). We were both gay but we never dated because we preferred staying as friends... I didn't like when Gill saw his crush it always made him sad, because Gill had some strong feelings for him, and he always stayed sad after seeing Mike... - Finally, what were you doing? Dating the Math's teacher? - I asked Michelle - Matt, please, don't start, not today, this is the last week before the one week vacations starts so, please just tell me what you want..- Michele said - I just want you to borrow me your chemistry book, cause I forgot mine and I need to see some things... - If I do what you are saying, you won't bother me again today? - she asked suspiciously I pretend to be in deep thought" Sure" I said, she gave me the book" Oh, and by the way, nice haircut, you look almost human with it..." I said smiling She was mad, but I was quick, I grabbed Gill and we ran away from her" Now can we go and get my croissant?" "Sure" I said, starting reading the book We were walking side by side and when we were almost leaving the building, I went against someone, I didn't fall or anything, I just went against the person "Oops, I'm sorry" I said looking up to see who it was "Pumpkin..." the person said Of all the people in that dammed school, I had to go and crash into Pete, he was from my class and he was pretty cool, but he was always calling me pumpkin, like if I was his girl or something, I didn't like it at all... "Pete, how are you?" I said smiling" And don't call me pumpkin:" "I'm fine, and you know that you are my favorite pumpkin" he said smiling I just showed him my finger (you know, the one in the middle) and walked away, he just laughed "You know, you shouldn't take that so seriously, he is just kidding, you know?" Gill said "I know, I just... I don't know... it's like everything that that guy does... I just don't know..." I said "Maybe you like him, and you don't even know about it..." Gill said smiling "NO WAY" I shouted" Don't even start it..." "OK, ok, lets just go and buy me some food, I'm starving..." ... - So, if you have this situation you just putt a two behind the Na- I said trying to explain Pete some chemistry "And if it was like this, I would have to put the 2 behind the H2O..."he said "Right, see it isn't that hard..." I said smiling "I'm good, I should be a teacher" he said "and all thanks to my pumpkin..." We were all at the school's bar( a place like a normal cafeteria), and when I say we, I mean me, Gill, Pete, Sara, Kimb., Kat, Susy, David and Lara, they were all my friends... and they all laughed at me because of Pete, I just groaned, Pete smiled and got up to buy something. I looked to the rest of the people that were at the table and everyone was studding: Gill was doing some exercises with Sara, Kat was explaining something Lara, and Susy was talking to David. I looked to the door to see Mike and Anne entering, Mike was Gill's crush, they never met, but Gill liked Mike a lot. I immediately looked at Gill, to see him turning around -Gill, could you tell me where you are going to be next week? - I know that it's lame, but that was the first thing that came to my mind to make Gill don't look at Mike - I already told you, I'm going to stay home, maybe go to my grandparent's house...- he said While he was saying that, Mike passed behind him, and I just breathed, I hated seeing Gill sad" Ok, thanks" I said smiling" Just curious..." He looked at me strangely and just continued his studying, I just smiled and looked at Susy, a great girl, it was her first year in this school, and she was a great girl, she would do everything to a friend, and she was a great friend, thinking of this I started to get deep in thought... I was thinking about how the hell I was going to survive that stupid test, when I felt a hand on my leg; I looked to see Pete rubbing my leg "Pete, if I didn't know that you were after everything that had a pair of breasts I would say that you had other interests..:" I said taking his hands of me He just started laughing, and started talking with Anne...ups, if Anne was here than Mike should be near, I looked up at Gill to see him blushing, he looked like a tomato and everything because Mike was sitting near him. I had to fix things up, but wait a second, Mike isn't even paying attention to Anne, he is trying to look at Gill, oh my... It couldn't be...no, it's just me imaging things...I was starting to get ready to say something to make Gill leave the bar, when Pete talked to me - Isn't that right pumpkin?- he asked smiling -Huh...wha...oh...yeah, you're absolutely right...- I said without thinking After I said that I wish I was invisible, everyone at the table stooped talking and looked at me" Mike, you are going to dance with Pete at tomorrow's party?" Kimb asked surprised "WHAT?" I screamed "Don't worry pumpkin, I don't want to dance with you, I have a lot of girls waiting for me, I don't need you" Pete said smiling Did you ever wished to have a gun, but the gun never appears? Well, this was one of those moments; if I had a gun I would have killed Pete "Well, don't forget that you have to wear a costume, and don't forget that no one can recognize you" Anne said" Lets go baby, I want to smoke a little bit" Mike just nodded, they both got up and wet to the football field smoke a little "Pete, what's wrong with you, you're always annoying me with that pumpkin thing... I hate that..." "Aaaa, poor Mikey, but you're my pumpkin; you're my favorite pumpkin... You see I have a lot of pumpkins here in this school, but you're my favorite" he said smiling" But you'll excuse me cause I need to go and find Laya." he said getting up When he left I turned to Sara "Sometimes I think that he is talking seriously..."I said with a sigh "That's what you wish honey" Sara said with a grin" You just want him to like you..." "I do not!" I said quickly "Like if you don't like him..." She said looking right into my eyes God, I hated when she did that, I was forced to tell de truth when she looked at me with those eyes... "I don't like him" I said nervously, and then in a whisper I continued" I mean he is kind of cute and all, but I don't think that he is..." She just grinned" You never know honey" ... Damn exercise 5, I hadn't a clue about how to do it, so I just made something up, and finished the test. Thank God Sara was next to me, she was the best student of our class, and she gave me some answers, you know how it is during a chemistry test... After I finished I looked around and everyone was still doing their test, I just sighed and started thinking. Now that I'm deep in thought I remember that I haven't introduced myself, sorry. My name is Michel Peterson, I'm 15 years old and I'm in a boarding school, but this boarding school have students that sleep in the school and others that don't, I'm one of those, I live in the city and I come here every morning. I'm in the first year of high school, and most of my class is people that I already knew from earlier years. Gill is my oldest friend, I have know him since we were 5, and we are like brothers, Sara, Kimb and Lara are like my best friends, we have know each others since we were 10 and they also know about me and Gill. Kat, Susy and David are my newest pals, they came to this school this year and we have become friends really quick. Sara is the best student of our year (and possible the best of the school) and she is a great friend, she is very close to Kimb and they look like sisters cause they are always together. Kimb is the 2nd best student, she is also a great person and she plays hockey, yeahp she likes that and she is always trying to make me go with her. Lara is the quiet one, we don't talk to much, but if one of us two needs someone, the others goes right away and helps, she is a very sweet person. Kat is a girl that is very mature, she is probably the most mature person of us all, and she knows and likes to talk. Susy is the next princess Diana, she is always worried about someone and she is very sweet. David is the guy that is always smiling and loves to tell jokes, he is very smart but he doesn't like to be smart (if you know what I mean). And then there is Pete, he came to this school when he was 14 years old, and he is one of those guys that sleeps here, he is cool, but since the beginning of this year that he started calling me that stupid name that I hate, he is pretty good with the girls and he is always annoying me... "You can give me your tests now" Miss Piggy, I mean our chemistry teacher said ... "Where's Gill?" I asked Sara "I don't know he said that he had something very important to do in this break and to tell you not to worry!" She said" So, how did the test go?" "Pretty well, thanks again for you know what" I said smiling" But I didn't know how to do number 5..." "Number5, number5...oh neither did I, I just made something up..." Suddenly I felt a pair of arms closing around me; I grabbed them and took them away "Pete..." I sighed He just laughed. He hugged Kimb and just stayed behind her hugging her" So, how did the test went?" he asked "Good" I said simply, we where in a big balcony, and I just started looking at the sky "When I looked at you, you seemed to be deep in though! Were you thinking about someone?" Pete asked with that smile "I wasn't thinking about nothing special..." RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG "What are we going to have now?" I asked Kimb "English" I just groaned and went to the classroom ... The teacher had already arrived and Gill still hadn't arrived, I was starting to get worried, I looked at Sara and she just whispered" He's late" Now I was worried, just when I was going to ask to go to the bathroom, Mike arrived "Can I come in, teacher?" he asked out of breath "Sure, what happened?" He whispered something to the teacher, she smiled and he went to his seat, unfortunately his seat wasn't next to me, so I had to wait for the lunch break to talk to him ... "What happened?" I asked dragging Gill to a quiet place "Well, you remember when we were at the bar this morning..."he said nervously I nodded" Well, you know when Mike come and sat next to me..."This was getting interesting" Well, he sated next to me, and when he left he gave me a piece of paper" Gill was nervous" I read it and it said that I was supposed to meet him on the next break because he had something to tell me.." Now he was blushing? What the hell happened?" Well I went to the meeting place and... well he was there and... and when I got next to me...he...well...he...hum...kissed me..." I was surprised" Don't worry because we were alone, he then told me that he wanted to do that since he had saw me and that he would like to start something with me..." Now I starting to understand everything" I don't know how, but I managed to say yes, and well we...hum...got carried away and I got late to the class" he said bright red I was speechless; I really didn't know what to say..." Are you sure that you want to start something with him?" "Yes, you don't know how I felt after he kissed me, I felt like I was in another world, Mike, I like him, I like him a lot..." He said "But how are you going to make it work? I mean he sleeps here, you don't. He isn't from here..." "I know, but at least I have to try..." "OK, as long as you're happy..." I said with a sigh" Now, I'm the only single one..." He just smiled" You'll find someone..." he said " But don't think about that, think about tomorrow and the party, we are going to have a blast..." ... This was getting weird, every day me and Gill lunched together, but this time it was me, Gill and Mike... I never talked to Mike but from what I was seeing he seemed to be a cool guy, and he liked Gill, I mean they were looking at each other and they hadn't eat anything... "Hum...excuse me, but if you guys continue starting at each other like that, your food will get cold, and school's food is worst when its cold..:" They both blushed and started eating. "So, Mike, for how long have you had this crush?" I asked trying to start a conversation; we were in a private place so there wasn't any danger "Well, since the first time I saw him at the bar... I looked at him, he was looking at em and then..." he said smiling "Well, I hope that this work..." I said starting to get up" I'll leave you two alone, I bet that you will stay better if you guys are alone... I'll see you in Math's class Gill." "Thank you Mike" Gill said smiling I just nodded, I grabbed my food and left the cafeteria, I didn't know where to go, I mean I always went with Gill to somewhere and we would talk, now I was alone...
