The Truth on Love
Chapter 3

Blake sat there waiting for Devin's conscience to recover. He had a
stereotypical cool guy pose with arms crossed and an emotionless look. On
the outside it may have seemed that he could care less for this random kid
sitting in front of him. But on the inside, he sad a sort of caring
attitude towards him.

Blake shook his head in an attempt to ignore that mentality towards
him. 'You're starting to care too much,' thought Blake.

He was startled when he noticed Devin moving in the bed. The nurse came in
and gave him a quick checkup.

"Well it seems like someone finally woke up. How are you feeling?" asked
the nurse.

Devin looked around and spotted Blake looking over at him from a chair. "My
head kind of hurts," he said and redirected his attention to the nurse.

"I'm going to give you some pain killers and hopefully that will bring down
your headache. Although you might need some help going to and from class. I
don't want you falling again and hitting your head," said the nurse.

Blake looked up and said, "I can take you back to the locker room."

"Okay, here are the pills." The nurse handed Devin the pills.

Devin swallowed the pills and got to his feet.

"Be careful," said the nurse.

Blake walked close to Devin to be able to catch him in case he fell.

They reached the locker room and Blake prepared to change. Any other day,
Devin would steal occasional glances over at Blake, but he wasn't feeling
as well.

As Blake slid his shirt off, Devin started wobbling and fell backwards onto
Blake. Blake caught him and helped him regain his balance.

Devin faced Blake and laid his head on Blake's bare chest. His palms rested
on Blake's stomach. He could feel the six bumps guys tried so hard to
achieve. Blake's skin was radiating heat. He wished he could stay like this
until his headache went away. Devin could feel Blake's heart start to beat
faster. He shouldn't be doing this, it's not right.

Devin pulled away slowly, making sure he stayed on his feet. Blake looked
away and continued to change. Nothing else was said between the two and
when Blake finished dressing he said, "I guess I'll see you later. Hope you
get better" and left.

Devin sitting on the bench, got up and walked to the cafeteria. There's a
reason Blake didn't accompany Devin to the cafeteria, he had a reputation
to hold up.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" asked Carmen. Carmen was almost like a sister
to Devin. They had been best friends since the first grade and have never
gotten into fights between each other. The ideal friendship.

"Yeah, I just hit my head hard. I should be fine with some bed rest," Devin
responded.

"You should thank Trevor for beating the guy that threw the ball at you. I
felt so bad for him, but then I remembered what he did," said Caroline.

"Wait, did Trevor get in trouble?" asked Devin.

"Yeah, he's in the Principal's office. Wait where are you going? Devin, you
need to eat," yelled Carmen. But Devin was already out the door.

He entered the office and spotted Trevor. He had his head down. It reminded
him of that kid he saw at the library.

He sat down next to Trevor and said, "You really didn't have to do that."

"You obviously wouldn't have done it. You're too nice and would have put up
with it. You're my friend and no one should even dare lay a finger on
you. You're like a brother to me. It would be a sin to not care about you."

This brought a smile to Devin. He felt so loved with his group of
friends. He was lucky for having people that care so much about
him. Although he sometimes takes them for granted.

The principal came out of her office and said, "Alright, I'll let you off
the hook with a warning just because no one got hurt too badly. I don't
want to see it happen again. Understand?"

"Yes," said Devin answering for quiet Trevor.

As they got up and started to leave, Devin noticed the kid at the
library. He was in the Principal's office. `I wonder why he's in her
office,' thought Devin to himself.


Drew had heard about Devin's incident earlier. He had so much anger bottled
up in him. He wish he could beat the guy to pieces but he decided that it
would only make things worse. He took a deep breath and walked over to
where Devin's locker was.

"Hello, my name is Drew and I would be glad to be your assistant this
afternoon. Let me take those for you." Drew took Devin's books and walked
alongside of him.

"How are you feeling?" asked Drew.

"Good. And you?" Devin returned the question.

Drew looked at him weird. "Why do you ask that?"

"Just asking is all." Devin smiled.

Drew chose to let if go. He set Devin's books down on the desk.

"Thank you."

"No, thank YOU," said Drew with a smile. "I was wondering if you'd like to
hang out after school or something." Drew wasn't really expecting an
answer, but it was worth a try.

"I don't know. I'll let you know after school ends."

"Okay, see ya." There was that brilliant smile of Drew. Devin couldn'thelp
but to also smile.

"So are you going to hang out with him or what?" asked Carmen.

"Stop eavesdropping. Nosy," said Devin pointing his finger to her nose.

She shooed him away.

"I can't help but feel like he enjoys being with you. Which is weird
because it's out of his original social circle." .... "Fine don't answer
me," said Carmen, a little irritated.

"Sorry, my head just hurts." Devin lay his head down and passed out.
