Chapter 2.

           "Ok, can you stop now I need to get to class!..........Alex."
When I said his name he let me go. Of course it was Alex you thought I
didn't know who it was. I turned around and looked at him. He was smiling
at me. God he's so gorgeous and fine as hell. Alex was my very best friend
from the start before I even met Lucia. He's 6 foot 2, muscular, nice
natural tan, and a pair of hazel eyes that just makes me melt. He black
hair was spiked which looked very good on him.  My eyes were the same color
but not as light as his and my hair was naturally curly which I didn't like
when it got big so I always had it short. I was looking at him and he was
looking at me which just that gave me a hard on.

"Okay you gay lovers. Are you two gonna kiss now?" said Carlos.

"Fuck you puto." replied Alex. With that he moved away from me. I was so
happy to see him.

"Hey! I thought you weren't gonna be here today."

"Nah, couldn't have miss today. S'up ese!"

"Uh...not much how about you?" I was smiley like a little kid.

        Hey if you're a guy who's gay and you had a fucking gorgeous ass
guy as a friend what else could drive you nuts. Anyways, Alex, Carlos, and
Lucia were all Hispanic like me except they were pure. Lucia is from El
Salvador, Carlos from the Dominican Rep., and Alex of course was from my
country, Nicaragua. It's nice to have friends from the same race even
thought I'm half but I grew up with the Hispanic culture so I consider
myself to be more Hispanic then white.

"So what class you got first?" asked Alex.

"English."

"me too" said Carlos.

"You?"

"I got math." replied Alex.

       Before we could say anything the bell rung. A teacher came up to us
and told us to get to class. We said bye to each other and me and Carlos
went to class. The morning class went bye quickly and I didn't get any
homework because it was only about how the class is and what we gonna
learn. By the time it was lunch I walked with Lucia to the cafeteria. It
was big and packed with people. We got our food and sat at a table near a
window.

"So how were your morning classes?" asked Lucia.

"Oh boring!"

"Ya, mine too we did whatever in gym."

"So did you see any hot guys around?" I asked.

        Now Lucia was the only person in the world who knew I was gay and
no one else. Alex didn't know because I never told him. I was kinda scared
to tell him.

"Yeah, some guys not a lot." she replied.

"Yeah, I saw a few guys myself but not as good as Alex!" I started to
laugh.

"You know, your best friends with him and he doesn't even know about you
that you know....you are." she said with a concerned look on her face.

"Well I ....I ...." I said.

"You know. Okay lets be honest here, ...do you like him...hmm?"  I didn't
know what to say to that. Actually , I myself didn't even know if I liked
him or not.

"Well?" she said.

"I don't know."

What do you mean you don't know?"

"Well I don't know. I never really thought of it." I said. "Well if I did
tell him I don't think he would take it lightly because I don't even know
if he's a hater or not. I never asked him how he feels about people like
me."

"Well here's your fucking chance!" she said and with that she pointed and I
saw Alex coming our way. He was holding a tray with food on it. My heart
started to beat faster. Did I like him? I don't know only time will tell.

"Hey you guys!" he said as he sat right beside me. Lucia was sitting in
across from us on the other side of the table. I was looking down at my
food waiting for him to say something.

"Man, you gotta fight your way through to get something over there." he
said.

"Well it's lunch time and bye the amount of people here it looks like they
are hungry..right?"  Lucia said sarcastically.

"You trying to be smart..bitch." he replied.

" it's a cafeteria dumb ass!"

"You know, sometimes you get on my last nerve...hoe!"

"Fuck you"

"OKAY...so anyways..." I interrupted them. They always arguing over the
littlest things.

"You know, you two sometimes fight like a married couple. What is up with
that?" I asked.

"Shut up!" said Alex.

"Well you do!"

"So, that don't mean we're married! Besides we like arguing...ain't that
right bitch?"  Lucia gives Alex the finger. No these two don't like each
other in that way. Why would Lucia ask me if I liked Alex if she liked him
as well.

         Alex was cute. Plus those muscles on him made him look so
sexy. Ooooh what a man, what man, what man, what a mighty good
maaaaaaan. That's from Salt'n'Pepa. I have pictured him naked and man did
it turn me on. But he was straight...was he? Me and Alex go way back, way
back. When we were younger me and him were always together. We always
hanged out and had our backs for each other. He was like a brother I never
had. When we were in grade 7 something happened to me. I started to feel
weird. In grade seven you're still a kid so I didn't know what was going
with me. Whenever I was with Alex which was like all the time I would
always feel weird. I would get this feeling of something running through my
body. I was freaking out. I would get depressed sometimes. The time when
Lucia saw me and came up to me and started to talk with me. Everything
changed.

          In grade 8, well that time I truly found out who I really was. I
started to feel sexual towards guys. I didn't act gay or anything but I
felt it in my mind and soul that I was gay. I wasn't bothered by it. Just
many times I questioned myself why I didn't feel sexual towards girls. Oh
well. But what was really strange was that one time I was in class and I
had a vision. This vision had a lot of white flashes and behind those
flashes came a scene where I was walking with some one at night in the
pouring rain. I didn't see who it was but I was holding hands with that
person and just walking along a side walk. Kinda creepy but that was it.

        "Ben........Ben......., fuck BEN!!!" I was startled.

"Yo man ...were you daydreaming!" said Alex. Lucia and Alex were staring at
me with weird looks.

"Oh sorry you guys I was just thinking." I said.

"About what?" asked Lucia.

"Nothing. It was nothing. Did I miss anything?"

        Lunch was almost over and I was scratching my head from all that
thinking. Lucia was giving a look saying to look at Alex. I think she
wanted to ask Alex the question. I nodding no and she gave me another look
saying come on but I still nodding no.  Then she smiled with a grin that
looked kinda sneaking.

"Alex....can I ask you something?" she asked.

"Sure...what is it?"  Oh my god she was gonna ask.

"What do you think about gay people?"  When she asked that I immediately
looked at Alex and waiting for his response. He just stared at her for a
moment.

"Uh....well....I don't know. I guess it's ok." he answered. "Why you ask
about that?"

"Well no reason just curious." she replied.

"Ok."

"But what if you had a friend and you two were really close and then one
day you find out that he's gay. What would you do?"  When she asked that my
eyes widen as I looked at thinking what the hell is she doing.

"Uh well.....if I was really good friends with him then I wouldn't do
anything. If that's his sexual preference then.....then whatever. I'm
cool." he responded.

"Well there you go." Lucia says as looks down. If she looked at me when she
said that Alex would of probably looked at me. *sigh* Lord have mercy.
 "You know, you could be really weird sometimes Lucia." said Alex.

"Well get used to it"

"I mean really weird."

"Well uh..thanks I think. Oh ya....one more question."

"Ugh....what?!"

"............are you gay?"

"Okay......what is this interrogation your putting on him Lucia?!" I said
with anxiety. Before Alex did anything the bell rang. Time for afternoon
classes. Ugh!

          We all start to get up. I go to the garbage bin and throw out my
trash. After I put my tray on a counter beside the garbage bin I turn
around and Alex was standing right behind me. That startled me.

"Heheheheh....did I scare you?" he said. I'm thinking like ......whaaat?

"Oh no just that you shouldn't stand behind me so close."

"Sorry."

"It's okay. Heh..Your funny sometimes."  He throws his trash away and so
does Lucia.

"Hey where's your locker?" he asked me.

"On the second floor"

"cool mine as well. I gotta talk to you about something so I'll walk with
you."

         We all leave the cafeteria at the same time. Lucia part ways with
me and Alex. We head up to the second floor and continue walking to my
locker. We walk side by side while looking at people that pass us by. I
decided to look at him for a second and when I did I saw him looking at
me. He was smiling. Man did he have a nice smile. I smiled back at him and
then he looks away.  We finally get to my locker.

"So what did ya want to talk about?" I asked

"oh ya ...uh...." he was thinking and then, " ya...why did Lucia asked that
about me?"

"About what?" I said.

"You know...why did she ask me if I was gay?"

"I don't know...probably she really wanted to know."  Why did she ask. I
told her not too.

"Why do you care anyways?....you're not ..right?" I said.

"Well...no."

"well then problem solved ok."  There's no problem. Just.....I wanted to
know." he said. I looked at him and I saw him looking at me. He looked like
he wanted to say something but what? I wanted to ask him if he was but I
think that I probably already knew.

             I looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for class
to start. I get my books close my locker and say good bye to Alex. Half way
down the hall I turn around and saw that he was still standing at my locker
looking at me. Damn man. He could be so mysterious sometimes.  My afternoon
classes were diverse society and visual art. Diverse society was the study
of families and well know you what visual art is about huh.

            When it came to art class I was definitely looking forward to
what we was gonna learn and do. When I entered the art class I sat at table
near the back. I loved art it was my big talent and plus in the class
there's tables to sit at and no uncomfortable desks. Anyways, during the
class the teacher begins to talk about the coarse which I already know but
I kinda don't pay attention because something was bugging me. I kept
thinking about Alex. I couldn't get him out of my mind. Ok maybe I did like
him. Maybe I liked him a lot. But I felt strange and feeling strange made
me think about my dream.

          After a good 30 minutes into the class there was a knock on the
door. The teacher opens the door and in comes walking a guy that I never
seen before. He looked very good and tall about 6'1. He had a nice light
brown skin, from his body shape he looked muscular, and had brown hair.

"Why you late?" asked the teacher.

"Oh sorry I couldn't find the class." he responded.

"Well I guess you were the only person who was missing from my list. Take a
seat please."  She said and with that he started to walk towards a table.

    I was looking at him as he was getting closer to my table. This guy was
really good looking.  He almost looked like a model and as he was close
enough I saw his eyes. They were the color of a dark green. They were
piercing and that made my heart beat faster. Oh my god was he gonna sit at
my table. There was only one other person at my table. As I thought that he
was gonna sit my at table I was thinking , great a hot guy is in my class
and he's coming over here. But no he sat at a table across from mine. Oh
well.

           Our teacher gave us our first assignment which was to write a
one page essay on why did we choose this class. When we get our papers and
instructions I decided to steal a little look at the guy. Dang...was he
fine. But he probably was straight. Some people say that , ' oh he's too
fine looking to be gay'. Ugh ... I say who cares. When I was done staring
at him I decided to read the course outline and other papers. The
assignment is easy I've done it before. You have to do it at every level
for art. This was grade 12.

          After several minutes of reading my paper I felt a light tap on
my shoulder.

"Excuse me, do have an extra pencil?"  I look and then I got startled. Oh
my god it was the guy and he was standing so close that my face was looking
at his stomach.

"Uh....y..yeah. Hold on." I said. My heart instantly beats faster as I
search in my pencil case for an extra pencil. DANG!! What a man and cute
but disorganized...now that's some character.

"Here you go" I said.

"Thanks."  He smiled and went to back to his seat. I felt a little hot
because he was standing so close. The rest of the class went by
nervously. I think I'm in love.....not!!! just very attracted.

            School ends and it was time to head back home. I leave class
and I get my stuff at my locker. I say good bye to friends.  When I get
home I say hi to my mom and head up to my room.  When I'm in my room I
throw my bag down , take off my shoes and collapse on my bed. I sighed as I
just lie there. I start to think about school and what happened. I think
about when Lucia asked Alex if he was gay and when the guy in my art class
came up to me. Man was I a little overwhelmed. I look up at the ceiling and
imagine the guy in my class. I smile and start to fantasize about him. I
get a little hard on just by thinking about him and damn was he so hot.

          Beside my bed was a night stand and on top of it was a red rose
inside a glass vase. Did I tell you that I love red roses. Yes I Ben who's
a guy have a rose in my room. I love them a lot. I always wanted to make
out with someone on my bed and there would be rose peddles all over.  That
would be so romantic...really.  It was about 5 o'clock in the evening when
I get a phone cal1 . After a few rings I answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hi Ben." it was Alex.

"Hey Alex! What's up?"

"Nothing much ...you?"

"Just chillin."

"Cool. Man school was boring and I got some hard teachers." he said.

"Oh really. Well mine ain't that bad except for English."

"Heh."  It was silent for a moment and then he asked me to go over at his
place.

"Hey do you wanna hang out?"

"Sure!" I responded.

"Hey by the way....what were you gonna tell me at my locker today?" I
asked.

"I already did. I asked you about what Lucia asked."

"Well is that all you was gonna ask. You weren't gonna tell me
something. You seemed serious when you said that you wanted to talk to me
about something." I said and anxiously waiting for his response.

"Damn man what are you a fucking cop!" I started to laugh when he said
that.

"So are you gonna come or not?"

"Ya sure. I'll be there at 6. Ok?" I responded and he said ok and with that
we hanged up. He was funny sometimes but I just had a feeling about
something.

            When I got to his house and walking to the front door it
started to rain. I don't like the rain. When I was standing at the door I
turned around and looked up at the sky. I looked at the stars and saw how
amazing they looked even though they were far away. All of a sudden, while
looking up at the sky I see a huge white flash. It was blinding so a close
my eyes for a few seconds. When I open my eyes I get a vision. In my vision
I see a street inside a city. The street is completely empty but it's
raining really hard. We I see it, I see it from far away but then it get's
closer and closer. Soon as I'm close enough it disappears. I shake my head
and blinks about a thousand times. What the hell was that? That vision
reminded me about something and for some reason it looked like my dream.

          I turn around to face the door and feeling a little nervous. I
knock on the door and wait.  After a minute I decided to knock again but
before I did the door opens quickly and I see Alex.

"Finally!" he said and he lets me into his house. "Hey." I said as I take
of my shoes at the entrance. We head up to his room and your not gonna
believe what happens. When we're in his room I sit on his bed and he sits
on a chair in front of his computer. He has cool stuff. A stereo, big tv,
computer and a PS2.

"So....what's up?" I asked.

"Nothing I was just bored out of my mind."  Oh thanks!"  What?"

"Nothing." I said. Here it comes that heart beat again. Okay I know we're
best friends and yes I do like him.. more than friends but if he was to be
gay and we happen to talk about that and anything else happens well ....I
wouldn't just jeopardize our friendship.

        We start to talk about stuff and life and whatever...girls! We play
video games and watch tv at different times. I was having an ok time
until....

"So Ben....can I ask you something?" he said.

"Yeah what?"

"Have you ever really had a girl friend?"  That question got me off
guard. Did I ever? Please!

" uh.....um.....uh.." I didn't know what to say.

" what ....no!?" he said.

"No not really."

"Oh....why?"  Why....because I don't like girls...hello!

"Um...I don't know. I guess I don't got much luck." I responded.

"Oh. Well it's all good. One day you'll have one."  One day. Oh god if only
he knew. That day when I have a girlfriend, it'll will be when the worlds
over.

"Well I mean your not ugly unless you know...you were...gay. Which your not
right?" holy shit.  When he said that I just looked at him. Oh boy what to
think.  Sooo...how's the weather!?" I said changing the subject. I gave him
a really good sign that I didn't want to answer that. Man I wish I could
tell him but something just didn't let me.

"What's the problem?" he asked.

"N..nothing. ..............what?!" I said as he kept looking at me.

"I don't know. Well I mean if you are ....it's cool no problem. We're best
friends and I'm not gonna hate you for that."  When he said that it felt
really good and I was relieved to hear that. But I still wasn't gonna tell
him....until.....

"So are you?" he said waiting patiently for me to answer.

"Fuck. Alex stop asking me!!" I yelled at him with much frustration. I was
so frustrated and thinking too much. A part of me part wanted to tell him
yes and another was saying no don't tell him. Fuck.  Okaaay man chill out!"
he said.  It was silent for a moment. I should be able to tell him but I
just didn't know when to say it or how.

"Ooooh..man..*sigh* I'm gonna changed my shirt I'm burning in this."  He
said and with that he got up and took his shirt off. I completely stopped
what I was doing and just stared at his fine ass body. It was so nicely
done with the nicest abs I ever seen. He's like a dream. Oh my. I started
to breathe a little heavier as I watched him walk around topless. My mind
was going out of control.  I got horny and I just wanted to jump on him and
kiss him so badly. I couldn't take it anymore I just couldn't. With a few
moments of anxiety I ran out the door.

        Alex saw me walk out his room. "Yo Ben where you going?!" he said.
I ran down the stairs and into the living room to sit on the couch. Thank
god nobody was home. After a few moments Alex came down still topless and
sat next to me on the couch. He saw me crying.  Yo Ben ....what's wrong?"
he asked in a soft tone. I had my head down with tears pouring out of my
eyes. What was I gonna say to him now.

"Ben. Please tell me what's wrong?"  He put his hand on my shoulder. I took
a few moments before I answered him. This was it...time was now.

"Alex. *sigh* Alex ...there's something that I need to tell you. It's
something that I've been wanting to tell for a very long time."  He was
looking at me with all ears.  Yeah?" he said.

"There's been something about me that you simply must know." I said still
crying.

"Okay say it."

"Yes." I said.

"Yes what?"

"Alex listen to me. Yes I'm .....gay." there was silence then...

"Oh ...oh ...I see." he said. I started to cry harder because I was not
finished. While cry I said.

"There's something else as well. .....*sigh* Alex......I like you.  I like
you more then friends."

        When I said what I had to say to him I put my hands over my eyes
and cried even more.  Now what was he gonna say to that. It was dead
silent.  All I could here was my heart beat. After along moment I felt an
arm go around me and sit on my shoulders. I looked up at him. He was
sitting so close to me with his arm around me. I looked intensely in his
eyes and he was doing the same to mine. I looked at his full lips so
lustful and kissable. Then.....

"It's okay." he said.

"Huh"

"shhhhhhh......don't cry." he said.

       Still looking at each other he moved in closer and as his face was
so close to mine we both closed our eyes at the same time. With that we
kissed passionately. It was like a slow motion kiss. After ours lips let go
we opened our eyes slowly and looked at each other. It was so intense and I
had to get more of those lustful lips of his. He licked his lips and bit
his lower lip as he moved his front teeth backwards on his lower lip. Soon
we were kissing and caressing each other. It was so intense and passionate
that he did something else....

(Well that's the end of chapter 2 . Hoped you liked it and look forward for
chapter 3. It gets better trust me.
