	This is the first story I've ever written, I wrote it over the
summer of last year and my writing skills have grown immensely. Although
this is my first story I've wrote, I have published other stories on here
and am currently working on one. Under the high school section, I have the
One or the Other, which is a current project; Hayden's Story; and GAvin's
Got Game. Under the college section, I have The After Party. The latter
three stories all contain sexual content.

you all!

	This is impossible! He's Avery! He's mean...but he's hot. He's
rude...but he has the cutest laugh. He's an idiot...but his smell is so
mystifying. He's just...Avery! I can't like him! No matter how many good
things he has, he's still Avery! And I just can't date him or think about
him like that!

	For the rest of the day I did nothing actually. Layla and Blake
texted me some. Tommy asked if he was able to come over. I told him my mom
said only Saturday because Amy and I have a dinner to go to on Sunday and
she likes to make every other Friday night a Family Night. He was happy
with just Saturday. I was too. Don't think I wasn't. But it's just ever
since him and I broke up...every gay guy in the school has been in my mind
too. But Tommy is the only one I would be comfortable with saying the `L'
word to though.

	The rest of the evening, I worked on mine and Tommy's project. We
had to build a tree, I was in charge of the trunk and he was in charge of
the leaves. I didn't feel like taking a stencil, tracing leaves, cutting
them out, and then drawing the little lines thingies.

	It was around 7 before I reached my halfway point. I decided I'd do
the rest tomorrow and then on Wednesday and Thursday, Tommy and I could put
the leaves on the tree. When I cleaned up all the clay and other shit my
mom called me down for dinner. I finished cleaning up, washed my hands, and
ran down stairs to enjoy some good ole dinner.

	"Why did your friend leave in such a hurry, sweetie?" My mom asked
while I loaded up my plate. "His face was red and he didn't even say
goodbye. He just ran by, got in his car, and drove off."

	"He forgot that his mom needed him home. If you want me to I'll
tell him he needs to apologize for being so rude?" I don't know why I was
offering. That would mean Avery would have to come back over.

	"No thank you dear. I was just worried."

	"Okay mom." For the rest of dinner we talked about the dinner that
was coming up this Sunday. We were going over to Mr. and Mrs. Franklin's
house. They were my mom's first clients as a real estate agent and they
were a newly married couple. My mom kept in contact with then and every few
months we go to their place or they come over here for dinner.

	The rest of the week wasn't that awesome. Considering I was trying
to avoid any feelings for Jay and Avery. I wanted to be focused on Tommy. I
want him. No one else. Just him.

	So far, mine and Tommy's project is going along great. It's now
Friday and we're putting the final additions on it. Like I said, I did
finish the trunk on Tuesday. I thought it looked very ugly but when we
started to put Tommy's leaves on it, it started to look a lot better.

	"We're a perfect team." I said.

	"Yeah, we are. All this time we've spent together has helped me
too."

	"Helped you with what."

	"Come closer to seeing if we're just friends or boyfriends."

	"And where are we right now?"

	"Well it all depends on tomorrow. Right now we're at the point
where it can go either way."

	I groaned and then sighed. "You know how much I hate you right
now?"

	"A lot?"

	"That doesn't even begin to describe it." I smiled at him and he
smiled back. We got back to work on our project. We soon presented it to
the class and got an A. Pete was absent but he left his and Tyler's project
there over night. Since Tyler did none of the work, he had trouble
presenting the project. It was kinda funny to see him up there talking as
if he knew what he was talking about.

	After school was over, I decided to stay after school and sit with
the twins in the library. Ginger was tutoring, like she always was, but the
twins were off today. We sat back and talked about random things going on
in life.

	Apparently, their mom had found a new house she was going to by
after their parents split. She was tired of her son having to be scared of
his father so they were getting a divorce. I was happy for them but also
sad. They did care about their father. He was always there for them until
Tommy came out. And Tommy has told me before he knows it's his fault they
are getting a divorce.

	"You know it's not your fault right?" I asked Tommy. He was looking
off somewhere else while Tye and I were talking about the new
house. They've only seen it once before.

	"It is, Shawn. They were all perfect before I came out."

	"They're splitting because of his homophobia. Not because of whom
you are. I bet that even if you weren't gay and I came out to him that one
time they still would be fighting. His hatred of gays would have shown
sooner or later."

	"He's right Tommy. Mom and Dad are splitting because of they're
differences. This is a serious topic and mom can't stand closed minded
people."

	"I know but if I never came out everything would be perfect right
now."

	"If you never came out I would have never invited Shawn over. You
and he would just be friends still."

	"You're right Tye."

	"I always am, little bro." Tye is like 5 minutes older than Tommy.

	"Shut up, you're going to die first so HAH!"

	"You're going to die 5 minutes after me so HAH!"

	"I'm going to die if you two don't shut up so HAH!" The three of us
started laughing. I love hanging with Tyler and Tommy. It makes me kinda
glad that all the things that happened to get me at the mall that one day
were worth it.

	"Come on you guys." Ginger said. "I need to get home so I can do my
own homework."

	"I could do it for you, Ginger!" Tyler said.

	"No! Last time I let you do that you got me an F! I thought you
knew what you were doing!"

	"I had no clue. I just bubbled things in." Tommy and I started
laughing as Ginger scolded Tyler.

	I was soon dropped off at my house. I went inside and told my mom I
was home. She then told me there was someone here to see me. I asked her
who it was but she only said he was up in my room. Well that ruled out
Layla and Jen since she said he.

	I went upstairs and stood outside my door. The door was shut and I
was scared to open it.  What if it was Leo? Or Cole? I put my hand on the
doorknob and slowly opened the door. I was shocked to see who it was. But
at the same time, I expected it and wanted it.

	"Hey Shawn." Avery said. "I thought you would have been home a long
time ago. I was going to leave but your mom forced me to stay here and
wait." I could tell he was nervous.

	"Sorry. I stayed after school with Tommy and Tyler."

	"Oh ok." There was an awkward silence. Avery and I have honestly
never really talked so I didn't know what to say.

	"What did you come over for?"

	"I wanted to tell you something."

	"And that is?"

	"You know how I missed out on my chance with Leo right?" I nodded
my head. "Well I didn't want to miss another chance... You see I never
hated you because Leo liked you. I hated you because I liked you. From the
second I saw you I wanted you. But I didn't want to hurt Leo and it made me
angry that you could cause me to ruin my relationship. When I found out you
and Leo kissed, I freaked because I was mad at you. I wanted to be the one
you kissed. And then when you told us about the rumor about you and Tommy,
I was mad because you kissed Tommy. And now I'm going to come clean and get
it out. I really like you Shawn. I want to be your boyfriend so bad! I
don't expect you to say you like me back though." I was stunned. I just
stood there. "I'm going to go now."

	I could see tears in his eyes. He wasn't joking. He seriously likes
me. Since I was standing in the doorway, he had to pass me to leave. But
before he could leave, I grabbed him by his wrist and turned him around. He
looked at me with tears in his eyes. I didn't know what to say to him so I
pulled him in for a long deep passionate kiss.

	When we finally separated, I barely managed to say, "Avery, I don't
know what it is about you but I like you too. Despite our rivalry and
everything. And with that said. I WILL be your boyfriend." We smiled at
each other and I pulled him in for another kiss.

~ IMPORTANT ~
	There are two chapters that were written by a friend of mine and I
will tell you if when the chapter is written by her. Please DO NOT contact
me and tell me how different those chapters are from the rest of the story
and they are written completely differently. If you do I will most likely
insult you. :D
