Subject: Spike and I Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Don't read this if you don't like stories about teens in love
and occassionally having sex. Don't read if you aren't of age for your
country to read this kind of material.

I knew I was attracted to guys all my life, I just never quite understood
what being gay was, or that it was anything different, until the 5th grade.
That's when all the guys were running around telling everyone else that
some other guys was gay to annoy that other guy. That's when I started to
come to terms with my sexuality. I knew I like guys, I would check them out
when no one was looking, and I knew that girls would never do, for me, what
a good looking stud does for me. After I realized I was different and
wouldn't fit in with the other guys my age. I decided to become somewhat of
a loner. That's the way it stayed until I started going to High School.

I had just started high school when my mother told me that we would be
moving. I didn't really care. I had no real friends at my school to speak
of and wasn't looking forward to going to high school with them. After only
going to high school at Cheyenne for a quarter, we moved, I didn't like the
school much from what I saw of it when I went there to register. It was a
big two story building with a rattlesnake painted on the front of it. On
the inside it was dirty, trash was thrown everywhere, and a few seniors
were in the hallways. The school had a weird schedule for classes instead
of going to all six classes; they went to four of their six classes with
alternating classes. There were green days, orange days, and silver
days. (Their school colors. Ugly huh?)

It was my first day at my new school. The news said it was going to be a
nice day. I woke up at 5:30am to my alarm clock. I sat up on the
airmattress I had slept on. Turned of my alarm and got out of bed. I went
into my closet and picked out my clothes for the day, a pair of baggy blue
jeans, a pair of boxers, and a gray T-shirt. Then, went to the bathroom to
take a shower. I pulled the shower curtain closed and turned on the
water. I slipped out of my red and blue boxers, and took a long look in the
mirror. The young teen I now saw in the mirror was not that lil' boy I saw
5 years ago went I looked in the mirror after realizing I was gay. This
young teen was kindda cute actually with short light brown hair, and dark
brown eyes. I stood about 5 foot 8. I silently told myself that today I was
going to go to that school and make friends if it killed me. I then went
over to the shower and got in to take a shower. After I finished my shower
I got out clean and refreshed, got dressed, did my hair, brushed my teeth,
and went out into the living room.  As I sat there, I was wondering how the
kids would like me, and if I would get lost. The time to go to the bus stop
finally came.

When I finally got to school, I had to go to the counseling office to get
my schedule. So, I found my way through the herds of kids going every which
way. When I finally got to the office after getting lost twice and having
to ask someone where to go. I walked up to the front desk and told the lady
there that I was Chris and I was told to come pick up my schedule here.
She said," Ok, you're Christopher. Your Counselor is Mr. J. He's busy right
now and hasn't made it up yet, so can you just have a seat and wait for him
to finish?"

I said," Sure, not like I'd know where else to go." She smiled at me and I
sat down. I knew that this was going to be one of those days I wished I
could stay in bed. After waiting about and hour a short thin man with brown
eyes came out of a room and said," Chris?"

I answered," Yea, that would be me."

He said," Ok, come in to my office." I got up and walked in to his office.
He told me to sit in a chair opposite of his desk, and then proceeded to
sit down himself. He pulled out a lil' slip of paper and started writing on
it. He told me," Since you have already started the school year at Cheyenne
I'll leave you in the same classes. Okay?"

I replied," Sure." With that he handed the piece of paper over with my
schedule on it. He asked me," Would you like a tour of your classes?"

I answered," That would be great. Thank you." At that he got up, opened the
door to his office and asked for an aide. A tall black student walked in to
his office wearing a letterman's jacket. Mr. J told the student to show me
to all my classes. The boy then walked over to me and asked for my
schedule.  I gave it to him and he looked it over, and then turned around
and told the counselor that he knew where the classes were and that he
would take me to them. I gathered my backpack and jacket up and the student
lead me out in to the lobby. He then asked me what my name was. I replied,
"My name is Chris. What's yours?"

He quickly replied," I'm Josh. Welcome to the worst four years of your
life." he chuckled and we then proceeded to my first class, which was
English. Josh then explained to me how the days and classes work out. On
green days we have classes 1,2,4, and 5. On orange days we have classes
1,3,4, and 6. On silver days we have classes 2,3,5, and 6.  All the time
while meeting my teachers I kept thinking about how this was going to
suck. After I went to my sixth period class (P.E. good grief I hate that
class) and talked to the teacher I went back to the office and they asked
me if I wanted to go to my first period. I looked at the clock and
replied," Yea, it's almost over anyways." And then when to my first period
which was English. I walked into a silent class it was almost like time had
stopped seeing me walk in. I walked up to the teacher and asked where I was
going to sit. She pointed to a desk next to a blonde haired boy with blue
eyes, then she said," Next to Edward. Edward please raise your hand." The
blonde god raised his hand up. I walked over and sat down without a word.
I thought to myself," Wow this day is starting to look up."

That's when he stuck his hand out and said," My name is Ed, but everyone
calls me Spike.  What's yours?"

I took his hand shook it and told him," Hi, my name's Chris." (That's
sounds so stupid. Huh?)

He grinned and said," Nice to meet you. I'm fairly new here myself."

I replied," I'm glad to know that I'm not the only new person here. How
long have you been here?"

Spike said," Just a few days. What classes do you have?" I handed him my
schedule and he looked it over. After looking at it for awhile he stated,"
I have P.E. 6th hour too. I'm glad we don't have it today though. Mr. G is
a real tight ass." And started to chuckle.

I replied," Yea, that's what I've heard." Then the bell signaling that
first hour was over rang. We jumped up and started on our way out the
door. When we got to the door we stopped. He said," Hey I'll see ya at
lunch, ok?"

I answered," Yea, Bye."

Spike said," Bye." And walked in the opposite direction I had to go. I got
into my second hour class, which was Biology, and asked the teacher where
should I sit. After getting a seat and a book assigned to me I asked when
first lunch was. Mrs. S told me that first lunch started at the end of that
class. I was overjoyed at the news. I only had to suffer through this one
class before I saw Spike again. As the bell rang, signaling the start of
second period, I started to look around to see if I knew anyone and to look
at who was in the class. When I looked into the back right-hand corner of
the room I saw a familiar face, but was not happy to see it. It was Joe, a
former friend who had always been kind of slow if you know what I mean, He
was about 5 foot with stringy black hair and ice blue eyes. He was a real
pain in the ass near the end of our friendship. As I sat there in class
looking at the new faces of my new classmates I soon met eyes with an angry
Biology teacher. She must have been mad at me for being turned around in my
seat. Mrs. S scolded," When the bell rings that means that you are in your
seat doing you work, and FACING FORWARD."

I replied hesitantly," I'm sorry ma'am. I didn't know."

She growled," I can tell you're going to be a problem child already." And
at that she turned and walked away form my desk. I turned around in my seat
and started to do the work that was written on the board, as I thought
about what a bitch Mrs. S is. I looked at the board and read the first
question. At my old school I had went through a chapter a day.  Apparently
at this school they went slower, because they were only on chapter 5, so of
course I knew the answer to the question. After about 10 minutes the
teacher asked us to bring our papers to her desk, and we all did so. Mrs. S
then assigned us to do the chapter review. I headed to work on the review,
and soon after felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Joe, he said," Don't I
know you?"

I replied," I don't know. Do you know me?" He then gave me a weird look and
rolled his eyes. Joe then turned around and returned to his desk. I
thought," Thank God he didn't remember me. That's the last thing I need; is
some jerk talking to me." I then returned to work. It wasn't long before
the bell rung, signaling that it was time for lunch. I gathered up my
things and left to go find Spike. I left the class and went downstairs to
the quad. There I saw him. He looked so good. I just wanted to run up to
him and give him a big hug or something. I held myself back and walked over
to him. I said," Hi, how are you doin'?"

He replied," Hi. I'm fine. What's crackin'?"

I replied," I'm fine. My biology teacher is a bitch though."

He goes," You have Mrs. S, don't you?"

I said," Yea, how'd you know?"

He said," I have her for biology 4th period and she's a real bitch."

I asked," So, what are we going to do now?"

He quickly replied," Well, we re going to get something to drink and go sit
down. Is that a problem with you?"  I chuckled shaking my head, and we left
for the soda machine. When we got to the machine we both got Sprites, and
left the Cafeteria to go find a seat outside. When we sat down, we got to
talking about our old schools, teachers and parents. I sat there listening
to him talking about how he has been to 4 different schools in the past 3
years and that he has lived or been in almost every state. I watched his
mouth as he talked he had the best lips, small and oh so kissable. He must
have noticed I was staring. He asked me," Dude, what's the matter why are
you looking at me like I have a booger hanging?"

I laughed and replied," Nothing. I just thought I saw something on your
face." He went on with his stories of his life. After we talked about how
his mom moved from California, because he ditched so often to go to the
beach, he asked me about my parents. I told him that my dad died when I was
young and my mom is rarely home, because she has to work 2 jobs. He laughed
and this weird smirk came across his face. Then he asked me," Where do you
live?"

I replied, "Over in the new houses by the Eldorado Houses."

He said," Cool, I do too. Hey can I come over?" I nodded yes. Just then the
bell rang signaling the end of lunch. I walked with Spike until we had to
split up. Then I went to Spanish. Dr. Herbluis was an ok teacher. He told
me to sit in the first row three seats back. I was ahead of this class too
though. I knew how to conjugate verbs, and they were just learning. So,
that class was going to be fairly easy. I sat in the class watching the
hours pass until the bell rang, signaling the end of 4th period. I gathered
up my stuff and ran outta class and got to my fifth hour, which was
Careers. Mrs. Oranchak was really good at teaching. She let us work in
groups and stuff. I couldn't wait to get out of there and go down the hall
to see Spike again. It wasn't to long after I thought that did the bell
ring, I shouted," Oh Boy! School's out!!" (Is it just me or do I seem to
get cheesier throughout this story?) and ran out of the class and down the
hall to wait for Spike to get out. He walked out of his class and he looked
better than the last time I saw him. I walked up to him and said," Hey!!"

He turned around and said back," Hey!! Come on let's go." We walked out to
our bus and hopped on it. We talked about different things on the way home,
like how many pets we had, what our families were like, how we liked our
new houses, stuff like that. We took the bus to the first stop and got off.
I was shocked to find out that he lived directly behind me. "How ironic!" I
thought to myself. We walked up to my house, and I said," Excuse all the
boxes; we haven't had time to unpack them."

He replied," That's alright; neither have I." We walked in and I gave him a
small tour. I pointed out the kitchen and told him to help himself to
whatever he wanted. "I wish he would help himself to me." I thought to
myself. I turned around to ask him if he wanted a soda.

He said," Can I be forward with you?"

I replied," Sure man, what's on your mind?" That's when, without any
notice, He leaned over and kissed me. Seeing him come at me that fast
startled me and I stepped back hitting my head on the wall. He pulled back,
and started turning red, and trying to apologize. I walked closer to him,
and said," Don't worry about it. Just the suddenness of it all startled me.
I like you too." That's when I leaned over and kissed him. We spent the
rest of the day on the couch making out. When my mom got home. I introduced
Spike to her. Then, Spike said that he had to leave. I walked out with him
and told him I had to ask him something. He turned and asked," what's your
question?"

I replied," Why did you just kiss me without knowing I was gay?"

He said," Cuz, I saw ya staring at me and figured it was worth a shot.
Well, I gotta go, so see ya tomorrow. Bye."

I said," Oh ok. Bye." I turned and went inside. My mom gave me a funny look
and asked me if I would help her unpack some tonight after dinner. I said,"
Sure. What's for dinner?"

She said, "Spaghetti." I walked into my room and laid on the bed. As I lay
there thinking about how good of a kisser Spike was I suppose I dosed off,
because the next thing I know my mom is banging on my door telling me that
dinner is done. I woke up, walked out into the kitchen, and ate dinner.
After dinner I helped unpack the boxes until 10pm. At 10pm I went to bed.
That night I dreamed of Spike, and how this might be the beginning of a
beautiful thing.


That's it for this chapter. Stay tuned for the rest of the chapters to come
