Chapter 15 "Coming Back From Vacation Special Part II"

	"Hello? Oh hey mom... Mhm, yeah."

	While Chris is talking to his mom on the phone, let me quickly
bring you guys up to date on what's happened so far. It's been about a week
since Clair and Betty's blowout. Ever since then, the tension in that house
is unbearable. Whenever Chris and I go visit, we feel this pressuring vibe
pressing down on us from every nook and cranny of the house. The feeling
gets worse whenever Betty or Clair enter into the same room we're in. I
feel bad for al the guys living in that house. And yes... even poor
Patrick.

	As for school, it's been quiet lately. Too quiet... Well, "quiet"
in quotes. Homecoming's coming around the corner, so like any other high
school, ASB has been planning events vigorously for the past week. That
means Carrie and Heather are working overtime trying to get everything
before deadlines.

	So why did I say quiet? Simple: Brandy. I haven't seen nor heard
anything regarding her since our last confrontation. But if I know her well
enough- and I think I do- she's planning something. What is it? I don't
know. But rest assured, when she does strike, I'll be ready.

	Oh yeah, some good news. Steve replied earlier this week; the two
gang wannabes have been sentenced to 50 hours of community services each or
risk being thrown into juvenile hall for a few months. In addition, the two
are now banned from all nearby public facilities, including, but limited to
libraries, beaches, gyms, and parks for the next three years. Talk about
harsh... but I guess this is the only way for them to learn.

	Even more good news. Chris's sexual adventures have expanded
tremendously. I can finally say that he has finally graduated from the
school of perverted-ness as he can now detected even the smallest of
innuendos. I'm so proud of him... and myself for being such a great
teacher, but mostly him. My little Chris is growing up right before my eyes
and can officially be considered as a horny teenager.

	"Oh ok... Yeah, I understand... Love you too. Bye."

	"So... what happened?" I ask as he hangs up.

	"Aunt Clair and my mom had another tantrum. Having fed up with the
stress and arguments, my mom left the house and is staying at a hotel until
my extended family leaves."

	"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that..." I comfort him. "But look on the
bright side, there won't be any more arguments."

	"Yeah... but I feel extremely guilty... Especially since this whole
thing started because of me."

	"Chris..." I scoot up to him and wrap an arm around his shoulder,
"It's anything but your fault."

	He sighs deeply, "You're just saying that to make me feel
better..."

	"Come on..." I poke his sides; he squirms away.

	"...Stop it!" he giggles, still trying to get away from me. I pull
him in and warp my arms around his body. He sighs deeply and sulks.

	"That bad huh?"

	"Yeah..." he sulks.

	"Well then, I guess you need something special to cheer you up."

	"What do you mean?" he asks with his head tilted a little.

	I scoot off the bed and go to the secret box inside my closet. I
put sex die in my pocket and go over to lock my doors.

	"Usually, we'd take turns, but judging from your sulky mood, I'm
going to give you a Dylan special," I grin at him. "Now let's get these
clothes off of you and show me your sexy body."

	Before he can say anything, I pull off his shirt and push his back
onto the bed. I toss the shirt aside and swiftly unbuckle his pants and
peel them off along with his boxers, exposing his boyhood for me to gawk
at.

	"Mmm... Your tan is still sexy to look at Chris..." I coquet as I
glide my hands across his body.  "I can just... eat you up..."

	"Uh..." he softly moans, twitching his body slightly.

	I pull out the sex die and set my phone to timer mode. I roll the
numbered dice off to the side. I get a four, meaning I have to successfully
use the dices four times.

	"Alrighty then. Let's see what we get to do first..." I roll the
three dices onto Chris's lean, milky stomach. "Oh, it's your favorite
Chris."

	I set the timer for four minutes, remove the die from Chris's
tummy, and turn him so that his stomach's on my lap. I press start on the
timer and spank one of his round cheeks.

	"Uh... Oh!... Hmm!... Oh harder!" Chris moans as I alternately
spank his full moons. "Mm...  Harder Dylan!... Phmf!"

	I fulfill his wish and spread my palm faster onto his now red
buns. I still have no idea why he loves being spanked... Oh well, as long
as he's happy, and enjoying every moment of it, I guess. In any case, the
timer soon beeps, signaling that time's up. I spank his ass one last time
and squeeze it hard, causing him to sigh deeply.

	I roll the die onto his back. "Man are you lucky today Chris," I
comment at the outcome. I remove the dice again and flip him over.

	"What'd you roll?" Chris asks as I set the timer for five minutes.

	"You'll see," I grin at him and get in between his knees. I press
start on my phone and lean down towards his face. He opens his mouth,
expecting a kiss, but that's not that the dice said. Instead, I go down a
bit further and gently bite his little bud. Being careful not to press my
lips on it, I lightly nibble on his rosy nipples. He takes in a sharp
breath and tenses up.

	I ignore his body's plea and continue to chew on the pebble shaped
orb. I glance up at my phone and notice that two minutes have passed. I
slowly dance over to his other nipple and chew on that a for the remainder
of time.

	"Uh... Dylan... Oh..." Chris groans and squirms around like a
worm. Just as was I about to bite harder, the timer beeps and I scoot up to
meet Chris's eyes.

	"Feeling better?" I smile earnestly.

	"Much... can I cum now?" he asks jokingly.

	I lean down and give him a quick kiss. "Not yet snuggle bug, not
yet... We still have two more rounds to do."

	I push myself up and grab the dices. I toss them down onto Chris's
lean belly again and grimace.  "Re-roll..."

	You see, the dice sometimes gives you a bad combination that either
hurts someone, is physically impossible, or is just plain silly. My last
particular roll told me to blow on his ass for two
minutes. Yeah... re-roll.

	"Ah, much better Chris... I think you'll enjoy this one."

	I set the timer for a minute and spread Chris's legs apart even
more. I rest on my stomach and kiss his wrinkled-covered chestnuts, causing
Chris to shudder and tense up a little. I press my nose up to his shaft and
inhale deeply, taking in his sweaty boy musk all to myself; it's so erotic
and hot. Going back to my job, I engulf one of his testes and suck of it
gently.

	"Oh... Dylan... You lied..." Chris agonizes, "You said I'd enjoy
this..."

	Although it sounds like he's hating it, I know him better than
anyone. He's loving every moment of this. I switch eggs and give the other
side some quick attention. I then swallow the entire leathery pouch in and
lightly tug then outwards, causing Chris's rigid shaft to bounce back and
forth.

	"Oh!... Uh, uh..." he moans and jerks his legs up slightly.

	I swirl my tongue around his magnificence boy pouch, passing by
every single wrinkly fold.  Chris half-moans-half-sighs and mumbles
something along the lines of 'fuck yeah.'

	The timer beeps suddenly and I let go of his soaking wet
goodies. My fingers slowly dance their way up my lover boy's milky body,
dragging along my body up towards his face. I press one hand on his cheek,
the left back down by his hips, and lean forward to give him a passionate
kiss.

	"Mmm... you didn't roll the dice," Chris points out.

	"Intermission," I grin before giving him another kiss.

	"For how long?"

	Our lips interlock again.

	"...For a while."

	Another kiss, and another after that as my fingers go back dancing
around his body. I graze across his chest and stomach, grope his ass,
squeeze his legs, anything I could get a hold of.

	"I think you should roll the dice now," Chris whispers.

	"Fine... ruin my little fun time," I pout, but giggle to break my
glowering mood. I get off of Chris and look around for the dices. Grabbing
all three, I toss them onto Chris's stomach for the last time and smile
wickedly at the outcome.

	"You're buying me a Lotto when I turn 18 Chris."

	"Huh? Why-Hah!..." he gasps as I dive down and swallow his cock
whole. "Nnn... you didn't...  even set the timer... Ah!..."

	I would've replied, but my mouth's a little busy milking his
beauty. For those who haven't caught up yet, I rolled 'suck cock for six
minutes.' Since I was going to do that anyways for him, I didn't even
bother setting up the timer. Talk about lucky, escaping one more round of
agonizing foreplay.

	"Uh! Uh!... Shit!... Mmm... Guh Fuck!..." Chris moans as I slurp up
his tasty cock all for myself.

	As I'm bobbing my head with his hot tool in my mouth, I spread his
legs apart just enough and bring them over my shoulders. As soon as his
legs set down, he crosses his ankles and presses his smooth, tanned legs
down onto my back.

	"Hmm... Dylan... Ohhhh... suck harder..." he
pleas. "Oh... oh.. uh... uh! Uh! Pmmf! Mmm! Oh god yes-Ah! Fuck!"

	I reach under and grope his both ass cheeks with each hand,
squeezing and massaging them.

	"Ah! Sss! Dylan!... Oh!... Ah!..."

	I move up and circle my tongue around his foreskin, causing him to
gasp and squirm uncontrollably. I pull my mouth back and flick his penis
gently. After the tenth slap with my fleshy muscle, I engulf it whole
again, only to give it air again after one session. I then dab my tongue on
his pee slit and continuously lap it, hungrily eating up his delicious
pre-cum.

	"Pmmf! Dylan!" he quietly screams, in fear of my parents hearing
and barging in. He bucks his hips forward and rams his 6.5 pleasure tool
all the way down my throat. Thank god I'm used to his fat cock in my
mouth. Otherwise, I think I would've gagged and choked.

	"Ah! I'm... I'm gonna cum!" he warns me as he fucks my face in his
awkward position. A few pumps after his warning and he explodes furiously
in my mouth while screaming my name (not too loudly of course).

	Wave after wave, shot after shot, I happily swallow everything
down. Damn was his orgasm intense. Each time he cock squirts out his boy
seed, his legs would squeeze onto my back.

	Just when I think he's finished with his little orgasm. "Gah!
Shit!" he hisses, "Oh fuck! Here it comes again Dylan!"

	Shit! His dick exploded again! That's never happened before! The
move surprises me and I choke a little, but regain my composure and swallow
the second helping down. I wonder if he has the potential to cum multiple
times... Man, that'd be fun to watch, not to mention eating more of his
delicious juice.

	 Chris squeezes me with legs really hard one last time and splurts
out his last rope of thick cum.  After that, he drops dead and breathes
heavily, trying to cool himself off with his sweat. I swallow the last drop
of his tasty cum and begin cleaning up his dick covered in spit. I slurp it
up one last time and push myself up to meet Chris. He lifts his head up and
I kiss him tenderly on the lips.

	"The vampire's still not satisfied," I pout out my lower lip.

	"What? I cummed twice in a roll for you and that's still not
enough?" he scolds, but fails his acting by snickering.

	"Yeah that was fucking hot," I tell him. "You've never done that
before."

	"I don't know what came over me," Chris tries to explain.

	"Ha..." I trail off.

	"Oh..." he realizes what he just said, "But yeah... I blame your
sexiness and foreplay."

	"...I wonder if you can cum again," I tease as I grab his cock in
my hand. He twitches and pushes my hands away. "Too sensitive?"

	"Yeah..." he sighs.

	"Did you enjoy the Dylan special?" I poke his sides.

	"Yeah... but it's still not done," he responds.

	"Oh?" I raise an eyebrow. "What's there left to do?"

	"You have to fuck my face and give me a cream pie for the Dylan
special to be complete," he grins.
	"Nope. The Dylan special was meant for Chris to have a
no-strings-attached sexual experience."

	"Oh come on... You know you want to," he taunts as he reaches for
my package.

	"Oh god... I've created a monster..." I say as I push his hands
away.

	"Oh come on Dylan... isn't the Dylan special made to please me? If
I don't get to suck you off, then I'm not pleased," he argues. I look at
him and see him give me his puppy eye look.

	His reasoning did sound logical; the whole point was to cheer him
up and pleasure him...  "Fine..." I give in, partly cause I'm extremely
horny from all that foreplay I gave him. "You can give me a blowjob..."

	"Yes! I knew my puppy face would work!" he says to himself.

	"Don't flatter yourself. I'm just extremely horny from all that
foreplay I did to you earlier."

	"Sure it was," he replies with a sarcastic tone.

	We scramble around and eventually, I find myself naked on my knees
with Chris's mouth in front of my 7 inch wonder. He gives it a little kiss
and takes in the entire thing no problem. I moan softly as I start to rock
my hips back and forth, jabbing my piece of steel into the back of Chris's
throat. I use my stomach to push Chris all the way onto the bed cushions
and grab hold his head for a better grip. I start to pump faster and can
hear slurping sounds Chris is making.

	"Ah... fuck yeah... suck it Chris... Mmm!... Suck it good..."

	At the same while I'm fucking Chris's scalding mouth, he grazes his
tongue around my special spots. I gasp softly at the touch and feel the
tingling feeling emerging.

	"Oh god Chris!... You have such a hot mouth... Oh!
Ah... Mmm... it's coming soon Chris..."

	He gives me a thumbs up sign, signaling that he's ready. I spread
my legs apart some more, close my eyes, tilt my head back, and turn my
humping into auto-mode. My rocking's speed picks up as I moan and groan in
pleasure.

	"Uh. Uh. Uh... Oh god! It's coming Chris! Ugh! Brach yourself!" I
shove my penis all the way in and explode wildly in my boyfriend's throat.

	One...two...three shots with more to come.

	"Fuck!... Shit!... Phmf! Mmf! Mm! God your so hot Chris! Sss!
Shit!" I whisper in a raspy voice.

	Four... five... and the sixth shot comes out, each one just as
powerful as the last. The seventh and last shot fires out and down into
Chris's stomach as he eagerly swallows it all. My fucking is still on
auto-mode as my dick brushes along Chris's soft, plump lips.

	Each time it goes in, my dick pulsates from the oversensitivity. I
wanted to stop, but it felt so good... yet so bad at the same
time... Unable to overpower the tickling any longer, I pull out and slump
down onto Chris.

	"Is the vampire satisfied?" I joke.

	"Yes, he can now go on for another day since he's gotten his share
of food."

	"That's good. I don't want my boyfriend dying on me just yet."

	We both giggle at our little act and share another kiss.

	"You feeling better?" I ask.

	"Mhm," he cheerfully replies, "Thanks Dylan."

	"Don't mention it snuggle bug," I reply. "Speaking of
snuggling... I think it's time to go to bed.  Tomorrow is the dreadful
Monday..."

	"Alright..." he yawns, causing me to yawn also (and you too. Don't
lie, you yawned didn't you?)

	I pull up my boxers and walk back into my closet to hide my sex
toys. Can't have my parents finding these on the table now can we? While
I'm at it, I should probably unlock the door. Don't want them getting
skeptical about two boys in the room now do we?

	Coming back, I reach over Chris and shut off the ceiling
light. Using only the lamp light next to me, we adjust ourselves onto bed,
trying to get comfortable under the blanket. Feeling content with the
layout we have, I disconnect the wires on my lamp with a push of a button
and turn back to snuggle with the snuggle bug.

	"It's getting colder Dylan..." Chris comments.

	"Yeah... this is the last week of October, with November starting
on Wednesday."

	"Dylan? Do you like the cold weather?" he asks nonchalantly.

	"Of course I do," I exclaim. "Without the hot, sticky weather, I
can now cuddle as much as I want with my little snuggle bug. And he won't
mind the least bit since he'll enjoy us sharing our body warmth with each
other."

	"Huh, I haven't thought of that," Chris say. "Now that I think
about it, I think I'll enjoy the colder seasons now."

	"Glad you see it my way. Also, I get to see you in those cute
autumn outfits you have again," I smile, even though he can't see it.

	"...You think I look cute in those clothes?" he asks timidly.

	"Oh course I do, but I gonna miss seeing you in that brown sweat of
yours. It makes you look extremely cute," I whisper into his ear.

	He giggles at my breath. "Why didn't you tell me before? I'll have
to wear it more often for you to make up for the lost time."

	"That'd be nice, especially since you can't wear it when it gets
colder," I reply warmly.  "Anyways, it's 11:00, and I think we should get
some sleep."

	"Ok... good night Dylan... I love you," he whispers the last part.

	I give him his goodnight kiss on the forehead and settle back down
behind him. "Good night my little rays of sunshine... I love you too..."





	"Dylan! Chris! It's time to get up!" my mom screams while walking
into my room. "Honestly, if that alarm clock isn't going to work, then
don't set one..."

	With my eyes still closed, I reach over and shut off my alarm. With
that annoying sound turned off, I flip back around and hug Chris under the
covers so that my mom doesn't see.

	"Five more minutes Mom..."

	"Don't make me pull off the blanket," my mom warns.

	"Chris..." I mumble, "Can you show her your puppy eyes?"

	"Nnn..." he complains while rolling over. "I'm too tired... Can we
just skip school today?..."

	My mom sighs heavily. "Well I'm going to go wake up your sisters
Dylan. I expect you up and ready by then." She slides out of my room like
running water. At least she remembered to close the
door... somewhat... Don't you just hate it when your parents shut the door,
but leave that tiny crack?  Yeah... your OCD senses must be tingling!

	"Dylan... " Chris mutters as he turns around.

	"Yeah Chris?" I kiss him on the forehead and pat his back.

	"I have a weird feeling about today..."

	"What do you mean?" I whisper.

	"I feel... uneasy... You see, I had a dream last night about being
in a dark room. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't move my body, as if
something, or someone was holding onto me."

	I sit up and give Chris a concerned look.

	"But," he continues, "I managed to call out your name in my dream
and that somehow allowed me to break free from the bonds."

	"Then what happened?" I question.

	"Nothing. I woke up to your mom's heavy foot pounding... What do
you think the dream meant?" he asks quietly.

	"Hmm... I'm not sure..." I trail off, "I doubt it means anything
though. I mean, I saved you somehow in your dream right?"

	"Technically, yes."

	"Then it shouldn't mean anything bad," I reassure him. "Now come
on, we should get up before my mom grows more wrinkles on her face."

	Chris giggles at my smack talk and scoots off the bed. I open my
closet and pick out a sexy outfit for my sexy boyfriend. I toss him his
black V-neck, dark blue jeans, and black ankle socks. I settle with a blue
Quicksilver T-shirt, black baggy jeans, and the same dark ankle socks.

	"Dylan? Do you have a jacket I can borrow?"

	"Umm... let's see..." I poke around my vast closet for something
his size. "Aha! This'll look extremely good on you."

	I take off the coat hanger and toss a dark grey crewman jacket to
him. Setting the coat hanger back onto the rack, I pull out my usual jacket
and put it on in one swift, fluid motion. I turn around and gaze in awe at
the sight.

	"Just when I thought you couldn't look any cuter," I compliment
with a whistle.

	"Aww... stop it Dylan. You're embarrassing me," he blushes.

	"But it's true!" I protest. "You have to model for me sometime."

	"Maybe later..." he yawns and walks out the door before I can say
anything. I smirk and shake my head. That sneaky bastard... think he can
just get away with that move.

	I pounce out the door and see him down the hall. He sees me and
makes a run for it, giggling along the way. He gets to the bathroom first
and tries to shut the door, but I manage to reach up and stop him. I
squeeze in through the crack and use my body weight to shut the door.

	"Think you can just get away huh?"

	"Mhm," he smirks and turns on the faucet.

	"Oh don't you mhm me," I say with a tone as I walk up to him and
jab his ribs a couple of time.

	"Stop it!" he giggles while retracting from my hands. I sigh and
let go of him, but not before stealing a kiss from him.

	He takes it as if it were nothing and starts brushing his
teeth. Feeling the morning urges coming through, I lift up the toilet seat
and whip out my cock to let loose the eight hours worth of golden nectar.
I swear, relieving yourself in the morning is both the greatest and worst
feeling ever. You get to sigh a breath of relief, but you can't completely
relax since you have to bend over and concentrate on your aim.

	I shiver a little and my dick does the all-natural pulses to squirt
out the last few drops of piss. Of course, as any man would do, I shake the
fleshy tube a thousand times, making absolutely sure that every last drop
is off. I'll never understand why our dicks always have to hold onto that
tiny droplet. I mean, why bother? And of course, after you've finished and
zipped up, it has to then come out and wet your pants a little... but I
digress...

	Chris and I quickly change places and in no time, we finish our
morning business and head on out to breakfast. Well, if you call toast with
jam breakfast. At the table, I see my two little rascals already eating
cereal.

	"Morning boys, what will it be, toast, cereal, or Pop tart?"

	"Toast is fine," Chris announces for the both of us. While my mom
pops in bread, Chris and I sit down next to Jasmine and Teresa.

	"Morning..." the two mumble.

	"Morning," we reply back. Like I said, we aren't that close, being
roughly four years apart from each other.

	Mom comes back with four pieces of toast, strawberry jam, and a
knife. We quickly spread the warm, crunchy yet fluffy, yeast with jelly and
wolf everything down except the plate. We finish simultaneously and rush
back into my room to grab our stuff. On the way out, I can see my sisters
rolling their eyes at me. I scoff at them and say goodbye to my mom.

	"Ready for school?" I ask as I pull onto the street.

	"Since when was I ever ready for school?"

	"Fair enough."





	The first half of school came and went without any trouble. I mean
come on, it's school. Nothing interesting ever happens. As usual, I escort
Chris to his classes after the bell rings since his schedule and mine
basically make us neighbors. The classes before our shared one were easy
enough for the most part. Just boring lessons and listening to teachers as
usual. God I can't wait until I get out of here.

	Ok, I lied. Everything went smoothly until 4th period. My
pre-calculus teacher decided to have a pop quiz on the wonderful foundation
of triangles... Fuck. You. Mrs. Powell. First off, you didn't teach us
crap, and now you're giving us students a hard time with a quiz?! Bitch!
You better be glad I know how to do this!

	And you know what the worst part is? I couldn't warn Chris ahead of
time since he has her first thing in the morning. Wait... he didn't warn
me! God damn it! So, for being such a great teacher Mrs.  Powell, I
personally made sure to be the first one out the door before you can say
anything. I meet up with Chris along the way and we continue to his English
class.

	"Thanks for the warning Chris."

	"Huh? What do you mean?" he asks as we enter the room.

	"Mrs. Powell had a pop quiz today..." I remind him.

	"Huh? She didn't give us a pop quiz today," Chris states.

	"That bitch!" I forcibly hush out. "Ok, then beware of a pop quiz
in the near future Chris."

	"Oook?" he replies, even more confused than before. I tell him to
drop it and we sit down in our adjacent seats.

	"Oh yeah. Before I forget Chris, here." I pull out my sketch book
and toss it at him. "Turn to page 5."

	"...Wow... is that me?" he gazes in amazement at the sketching of
him.

	"Mhm, I finished it a few days ago in class after I turned in my
test. If you want, I can tear it out for you."

	"...Nah... it's yours. I can always just look at it whenever I want
to. But wow... this is so cool! It looks almost exactly like me," he point
out. "What am I looking at in this?"

	The sketch is a penciled work of my beautiful angel sitting by a
window with his left arm resting on the seam. The head is tilted out a
little, gazing out the opening with his soft-boiled eyes at something.

	"That's the best part. There's two ways to look at this. One is,
you can see the sadness in the eyes, as if he's gazing out towards
something that he longs for," I explain to Chris.

	"Oh... yeah, I kinda see that... Then what's the other end?"

	"Satisfaction." I state, "He's finally got what he wanted all
along. And now, he's staring aimlessly into the outside world, reflecting
on his life."

	We stay in silence for about... five seconds before the bell
buzzes. What is it with us and perfectly beautiful moments being ruined? I
roll my eyes and shake my head at our moment being destroyed. Chris giggles
and hands back my book.

	"Welcome back class. Now then... are we missing anyone..."
Mr. Fledging trails off while looking around the room. "Everyone's here,
good. Now then class, today, we're-"

	"Happy Monday everybody," the speaker projects across campus. "This
is Frank with your daily bulletin. Student section, Monday, October
30th. With homecoming, well, coming in just three weeks, the ASB team would
like to congratulate the five princesses campaigning for homecoming queen!
These five brave souls have managed to pass the gruesome trial of obtaining
fifty signatures!  Now, these five princesses will now be holding campaigns
to win votes from yours truly... With that in mind, the deadline to submit
your vote is November 12th. I repeat, November 12th. Simply login onto our
school website with your ID and click on 'vote for Homecoming Queen' to
cast your vote for one of the five princesses: the majestic, Mandy
Ellington, the brave, Brandy Parr, the glorious, Gloria Fenn, the amazing,
Alice Eve, and finally, the cunning Carrie Taylor! Choose wisely as
everyone is only allowed to vote once, and only once!"

	The rest of the bulletin was boring. Frank read off the list of
stuff for students to be aware of, like college app deadlines, lost items
found, when the next rally is, etc. You know, regular school stuff that
never interests people. As tradition goes, the announcement ends with a
crappy joke, followed by some force laughter from the ASB team.

	"As I was saying," Mr. Fledging rambles on after the click, "Today,
we're going to discuss..."

	I would like to take this moment to thank my iPad. Thank you for
always being there for me in times of boredom... However, instead of using
you for games today, I'm going to actually do something productive, like
typing up my college applications. Oh joy... what were the prompts for UC's
apps again?...





	"...And that class, is why he is always so sad," Mr. Fledging
finishes just as the bell rings. As soon as everyone hears the joyous
sound, all hell breaks loose as everyone jams everything into their
backpack and rushes out the door. "Remember class! Read Chapters 11 and 12
by Wednesday!" the teacher shouts over the commotion. Psh, like anyone will
remember. I close my iPad, place it gently into my bag, and wait for Chris
to finish.

	"Ok, ready to go!" Chris announces with a backpack over his
shoulder. We head out of the door and venture towards his locker.

	"Hey Dylan!"

	I turn around and see Bryan waving at me. "Sup Bryan," I greet with
the bro fist, "What brings you here?"

	"I'll go on ahead Dylan," Chris says to give me some space, "Wait
for me here yeah?"

	"Sure thing Chris," I respond back. "So Bryan, you were saying?"

	"Oh, I was handing something into ASB. You know how Carrie is
sometimes. Give her something busy to do, and she'll drag everyone she
knows in."

	"Yeah I know. It's a good thing I said no when I had the chance."

	"Oh yeah, she asked me to ask you. Can you help her with her
campaign?"

	"You know I can't do that Bryan..." I sigh.

	"Yeah I know, but I promised her I'd ask, so..."

	"No worries, I don't blame her. It's just that-"

	My sentence gets cut off by a sudden, loud bang coming down the
hallway Chris was in. Bryan and I look at each other and rush over to see
what happened.

	"So... rumor has it that you're a little fairy who's been dancing
around too much," I hear a voice jeer at someone.

	I turn the corner and see Chris pinned up against the locker with
his arms held together above his head by a jock. Surrounding the two are
two more lackeys, closing in on Chris with evil written all over their
faces.

	I feel my eyes turning malicious and take a step forward, only to
be stopped by Bryan's hand on my shoulder. I look at him and he raises a
brow. I sigh deeply and nod to Bryan, telling him that I've regained my
composure. He nods back and we continue forward.

	"Hey!" I shout down the hall. "What do you think you're doing?!"

	The guy holding Chris turns his head to face me. "You stay out of
this Dylan," he spats, "This is between us and this fag."

	Evan I think was his name. Yeah... Evan, our star quarterback. That
makes his two friends Thomas and Robert. These three are your typical
jocks: stocky in build, obnoxious at times, and not the brightest of folks.

	Evan, as I said before, is the star quarterback of our
school. Well, "star" in quotes. His football season isn't... going too well
this year. It's not bad, but it's not the greatest. We're barely making it
through the season. One more loss, and we're basically out of semis, let
along state.


	In any case, you never see these three separate. Wherever Evan
goes, don't be surprised to see Thomas and Robert following close
behind. Some say that the two are just in it for the popularity, while some
think that the two are friends with Evan because he has more
money. Personally, I think they're just friends. No more, no less. What?
Can't a couple of guys be friends just because they wanted to?

	Bryan raises an eyebrow again. "What the fuck are you talking
about?"

	"Ah Bryan... always in the dark I see," Evan taunts.

	You see, our school has this little rivalry between sports. Every
year, every team has an unofficial competition to see who did best during
their particular season. The prize? Bragging rights.  But... the biggest
competition last year was football and track. Yep, you've guessed it, Evan
and Bryan...  the team captains of each team. So as one can imagine, the
two don't get along well.

	"What do you mean?" Bryan asks again.

	"What do you mean?" Evan mocks in a falsetto pitch. "I'll tell you
what it means. Rumor has it that this fag's been going around asking other
dudes for blowjobs. I'm only here to show him what happens to these types
of people when they do that around here."

	What the fuck?... Don't tell me Brandy decided to spread the rumor
anyways. "Where did you hear this rumor?" I ask cautiously, trying to buy
me some time to think of a plan.

	"A little birdie told us," Thomas smirks. "In any case, we're just
here to see for ourselves if the rumor is true."

	"Well he's with us, so you answer to me if you so much as misplace
a hair on his body," I warn the trio.

	Evan forces Chris, who's struggling to escape, into Thomas's
grasp. "Oops," he taunts.

	"Stop moving you queer," Thomas grunts as Chris flails his arms and
legs.

	"Let. Go. Of. Me!... Help!" Chris screams.

	"I'm giving you one last warning Evan," I sneer, "Do not anger me
and let him go. Or else."

	"Or else what?" he snaps back. "What are you going to do about it?
I mean look at you! You're a scrawny-ass pussy who's all talk! You seem to
be all that, but in reality, you're not... All you do is hide behind your
friends and run away from girls!"

	"Hey Evan..." Robert butts in, "Maybe we should you know... let
this go. Remember the rumors about Dylan?"

	"What? Are you pussying out of me too?" Evan barks. "Rumors are
just rumors. I mean look at him! All bones and no meat."

	"All I'm saying is that is she really worth it?" Robert
asks. She... Ding! Bingo, my hunches were correct.

	Evan scoffs at Robert and grabs Chris again from Thomas. He slams
him back onto the locker in the same position. "Now if you don't mind, we
have a lesson to teach his queer boy."

	He reaches his hand down Chris's pants and fondles with certain
parts he's not suppose to be touching. Chris responds with a gasp and
squirms around, trying desperately to get away. Big mistake.  All I see now
is red in my eyes as I look upon the sight. My hands ball up into fists and
sigh deeply.

	"Bryan... I'm sorry..."

	Before Bryan can reply, I dash forward with my right fist behind me
and launch it square onto Evan's face. He staggers backwards and tries to
regain his footing. Taking the opportunity, I grab Chris by arms and
forcibly push him towards Bryan. No time to make sure that he's ok; Bryan
will catch him, I hope...

	I spin back around and roundhouse kick Evan in the face just as
he's standing up. His eyes grow big with fear as he realizes what's
happening. The heels of my shoes connect with his cheek, causing a couple
of teeth to fall out of his mouth. With blood gushing out of his nose and
mouth, Evan falls to the ground unconscious.

	"What the fuck?" Thomas breathes out as he lunges forward. He
attempts to grab hold of me, but I crouch down just in time and head butt
him in the stomach.

	"Argh..." he grimaces as he stumbles. He looks over at
Robert. "Don't just stand here! Help me catch his son of a bitch!" Robert
looks frightful and shakily points his finger. "What?" Thomas asks. He
turns around, only to feel a stabbing pain on his stomach again as I force
the sole of my shoes into his gut.

	He bends over in pain and I punch him hard on to the back of his
head, knocking him out too.  With two down, I turn my sight onto the last,
Robert. He looks at me, down at his two friends, and back up to me. With
fear in his eyes, he flips around and forces his legs to move away from
me. I get into a crouching position and pounce onto him like a jaguar going
in for the kill. My arms wrap around his waist and I pull him down onto the
ground.

	"NO! STOP! PLEASE!" Robert screams as he claws the floor, even
though it was futile. I flip him around and straddle his waist with him
body. He pulls his hands up, trying to block his face from my lightning
speed punch.

	Just when I'm about to make contact, Chris screams out to
me. "DYLAN!"

	Hearing his voice, I force my fist to stop just in time, with only
a few millimeters away from Robert's face. Breathing heavily, I look down
on Robert, who's trembling and shaking uncontrollably. I get off of him and
see a big wet spot in his pants.

	"You run away and I'll hunt you down," I warn him in a low
voice. Fearing his voice might betray him, Robert nods his head in between
tremors and tries to get up, only to fail since his hands won't listen to
him.

	I stomp back to where Bryan and Chris are and make left to the
nearest locker. Feeling extremely frustrated over myself, I punch a random
locker. Fuck that hurt! I remove my hand and see a big dent along with some
red marks. Fuck! I look at my hands and see blood all over it.

	I sigh, slam my back onto the lockers, and slump down below the
locker I just broke. There goes my money for the week... Bryan sees the
blood works and rushes to the nearest classroom for the first aid kit.

	I glance over at Chris and see him looking at me. I quickly look
away and close my eyes, unable to meet in my current state. He scoots up to
me and places one of his hand on my cheek.

	"Dylan..." he whispers.

	"What?!" I jeer back, refusing to look up since I'm still
angry. Angry at the fact that I couldn't save Chris in time. Angry at the
fact that I just beat up three guys. Angry at the fact that Chris had to
watch all this!... He was never suppose to see this side of me! Now he's
going to live in fear everyday whenever I'm near him! I feel my eyes
starting to swell up and my cheeks puffing.

	"Dylan look at me," Chris urges.

	"I can't," I sniffle.

	"Dylan!" He grabs hold of my face and forces them forward. He looks
deeply into my eyes and sighs. "Dylan... thank you... for saving me..."

	"You're not scared?" I ask, holding back the tears of emotion.

	"Of what? Your eyes?" he asks. I nod, afraid that my tone might be
too harsh. "Dylan... I already saw those eyes of yours back when Brandy
first attacked me. They were scary at first, but then I realized that you
only showed them because you cared for me."

	I sigh and try to look away again, only to have Chris force my face
back into position. "Dylan look at me. These eyes aren't scary to me. They
might be to everyone else, but to me, they look normal to me. So again,
thank you for saving my ass," he says tenderly.

	Before I can say anything, Bryan rushes back with a first aid kit
and a teacher. At the sight, the adult gasps and pulls out his cell phone.

	"Here Chris. You attend Dylan's hand. I'll go see what I can do for
the idiots over there."

	Chris grabs hold of some moist towels, gauze, and tape. He holds
out my hand and tears open the package of towels. He gently strokes my
bloody hand, wiping away the sweat, grime, and blood off my skin. I wince
at pain and tell him to be gentler. After cleaning my wound, Chris wraps my
knuckles completely with gauze and seals the loose end with tape, stopping
the germs from invading my body.

	"Looks like you'll need some help for the next few days," Chris
giggles as he kisses my bandaged hand..

	I glare at him, but couldn't help laugh at his comment. "Well, it's
a good thing you're here right?"

	I look to my right and see Bryan helping a groaning Evan up while
Robert's helping Thomas into a sitting position. On my left, I see the
school dean coming over alongside the teacher and the school nurse. Oh
boy... this is gonna take a while to explain... The dean speaks into his
radio, telling whoever's on the other end to phone our parents. Ah
jeeze... way to make things even more complicated.

	"Alright, those who can stand up, follow me to the principal's
office. And those who can't, stay where you are and the nurse will attend
to you," the dean states to everyone. Bryan, Chris, Robert, and I get up
and followed the dean to the office while the nurse crouched down to check
out Evan's cracked face.

	The five of us walked through the maze and eventually find our way
into the principal's office.  The dean instructs us to sit down by the
bench and wait for further instructions. Bryan and I automatically sit in
between Chris, as if something's going to jump out and attack him
again. Robert, on the other hand, sits across from us and constantly stares
at me uneasily. It's as if he's afraid I'm going to jump out and attack
him. Good, he deserves this fear.

	About 15 minutes later, everyone's parents show up. Since Robert's
on the other side, his parents briskly dash over to see what
happened. Bryan's dad follows close behind and drags Bryan aside,
bombarding him with questions as to what the hell happened. Chris's mom
enters next and comes over to us, not looking too happy. She pulls Chris
aside too. Finally, my mom walks over and sits down next to me.

	She says nothing, but instead, sighs deeply.

	"You mad?" I ask her.

	"Should I be? Yes. Am I though? No," she replies calmly. I look at
her and raise an eyebrow.  "Dylan, this is the first time ever I've been
called to the principal's office. So whatever you did, I'm sure you had a
very good reason."

	"Should I tell you now, or keep it for inside?"

	"Why don't you save it for later? Although I'll hiding in the back
of the office when we go in," she states.

	"Huh?"

	"I know you better than anyone else. Once you enter in there, all
hell will break loose. You know what I'm talking about don't you?" she
reminds me. I nod my head, understanding what my mom said.

	For a guy who doesn't usually care about anything, my mind can be
extremely stubborn sometimes. Once my mind is made up about something, no
matter how many times I fail, even if it kills me, I will do anything to
fulfill that something.

	"In any case, I'll go warn Chris's mom about you. If she's smart,
she'll heed my words and be next to me when we go inside." She gets up and
scurries over to where Betty and Chris are standing.

	I sigh and look up at the ceiling. I hate it when my mom's
right. Nonetheless, she's right; my mind's already been made up. No one's
going to get into trouble for this stupid incident, not directly at
least...

	The principal's door opens and calls everyone in. Robert, Bryan,
Chris, and I walk forward.  Once we all enter, the principal motions the
remaining adults to follow.

	"So... this isn't the first time you've been in here Robert,"
Mr. Gray, the principal comments.  "You three... I've never seen before."

	Big man, Mr. Gray. He weighs about 250 pounds with muscle, is 6'4"
when upright, and speaks in an affirmative voice, just like a principal
should. His best characteristic? His handshake. Firm, simple, and hurtful
at times if you see it coming.

	"So..." he begins, "What I've been told is that there's been a
fight here on campus. I'm sure you know that means Robert." Robert doesn't
speak, only nods his head. "Oh where are my manners.  Everyone find a seat
and sit." Mr. Gray stands up and gestures at the comfy chairs in front of
his desk.

	Being the bold one, I break the ice by sitting down first, followed
by Chris, Bryan, Robert, and finally, his mom and dad. The rest? Well, they
all managed to squeeze into back bench, the further away from me, the
better.

	"So, as I was saying, this school has a zero tolerance for
fighting, but I'm willing to let you guys explain yourselves. If the
circumstances are right, I'll be able to give you a lighter punishment,"
Mr. Gray explains. "So, who wants to start?"

	"I will," I speak for all of us as I unfold my legs and lean
forward.

	Over the next ten minutes, I explain with excruciating detail about
what happened from the start of lunch to now. However, I tweaked the story
a little. First tweak, I told the principal that I had no idea why the trio
bullied Chris. By the time I arrived at the scene, they already pinned him
to the lockers.

	Second, I told him that Robert didn't fight back, which was
true. The reason why was because he told his friends to knock it
off. Again, not a complete lie. Him peeing his pants? He saw how horrifying
I was fighting the other two and let it loose out of fear. The fact that he
wasn't hurt solidifies my claim even further.

	The fight itself? The two attacked me first, and I acted in self
defense. Evan "lunged" forward at me, so I punched him in the face. Thomas
then attacked me, so I crouched and head butted him. Mr.  Gray questions
the other three, to which they all agree with my story. Thank god Robert
caught on fast.

	"Ok, you're story seems believable," Mr. Gray states after reading
over his notes again. "I'll have to search your records and determine what
kind of punishment all of you will go through."

	"Not so fast," I interject quickly. Everyone turns their eyes to
me. "I want everyone off the hook for this."

	"On what grounds?" Mr. Gray sternly asks, "Need I remind you that
everyone here was involved in a fight?"

	"Ok first of all, Bryan and Robert played no part in any fighting;
that was all me, Evan, and Thomas. So you can't blame someone for something
they didn't do," I argue, "and don't give me any of that 'they were at the
scene' crap."

	Mr. Gray raises an eyebrow at my choice of words.

	"Yeah, I know what your thinking. I swore in your office. So what?"
I scoff.

	"Ok..." he begins slowly, "but like I said before, this school has
a zero tolerance for fighting."

	"Bullshit. How would you feel if the police arrested you because
you were standing next to a fight?" I challenge. Mr. Gray tries to answer,
but I interject, "Exactly. Unfair and uncivilized."

	"But-"

	"But nothing," I finish for him. I glance over and see Bryan sigh a
breath of relief. "Next, Chris is also innocent of this incident."

	"You've got to be kidding me," Mr. Gray groans. He looks over at my
mom. "Is this how he acts at home."

	My mom simply smiles and shakes her head.

	"Hey," I call out to him by snapping my fingers, "I'm over
here... Anyways, Chris's been through a lot in this fight
already. Punishing him when he's the victim seems ridiculous to me."

	"Rules are rules Mr. Wolfe. I can't give somebody the slide. And
the fact that he was directly in the fight doesn't help either."

	I sigh... time to use my trump card. "I seemed to let out one small
detail from before. The reason why Evan and Thomas attacked me first was
because I told them to back off from Chris."

	"What does that have to do anything?"

	I glance over at Robert, and then to Chris. "...One of them had his
hands inside Chris's pants."

	Chris's face blushes bright red and looks away in shame while
Robert tenses up and shivers a little. The color from Mr. Gray's face
completely disappears at my words.

	"Look," I continue, "All I'm asking is that you let us off the
hook."

	"And if I don't?" Mr. Gray tests cautiously.

	"Do you really think I'll stay quiet? Rumors are already spreading
like wildfire around this school. I can be the gasoline and say that rape
was committed at this school. That means the school's, and the principal's,
reputation will plummet down the drain."

	"Who...ahem. Who um... fondled with Chris?"

	"I wasn't clear who had his hands in Chris's pants, so I can't tell
you who the culprit is. It could be Thomas. Or it could be Evan; I'm not
sure," I reply with a sly. I got this in the bag! If he were solid on his
zero-tolerance shit, he wouldn't have asked me any more questions.

	"...What about the rumors spreading? Won't that catch a drift to
parents?" Robert's dad pitches in.

	"Rumors are just rumors. The school can't prove anything, and I'm
sure Mr. Gray can make an announcement to disperse these so-called rumors."

	"...What about Evan and Thomas?" Mr. Gray brings up. Again with the
questions...

	"Call the nurse. I'm sure nothing major is broken; just a couple of
teeth that fell out of place," I wave aside nonchalantly. "And I'm sure
Robert will tell them exactly what happened. Right Robert?"

	"Um... sure..." he responds. I can see the look in his eyes that
he's glad that he's not in trouble.

	I turn my attention back to Mr. Gray and hold out my hand. "What do
you say? Do we have a deal?"

	He looks at me, at Robert and his parents, and then back at my
group. "Alright fine..." he sighs, "But I don't ever want to see any of you
guys here ever again you here me?"

	"Deal."

	Done and done. See, that wasn't so hard now was it. On the way out,
Chris rushes over to his mom and bear hugs her while I venture towards my
mom.

	Robert walks over to me and pulls me aside. "Look... um... I'm
sorry," he grunts while rubbing the back of his head. "And
um... thanks. For... you know... saving my ass from being expelled."

	"Sure..." I trail off, "Although I didn't do it for you; I did it
to save my ass."

	"I know, I know... but still, thank you... if there's anything I
could-'

	"Actually, there is..." I complete the thought for him. I motion
him to come closer and whisper, "Your little birdie, was it Brandy?"

	Robert tenses up again and breathes in sharply. "Yes..."

	"Lemme guess, she promised you guys something in exchange for
messing with Chris a little."

	His head droops down and sighs. "She promised Evan that she'd be
his date to homecoming and help Thomas and I get dates if we did something
for her. Brandy told us that she caught wind of a rumor about Chris going
around, getting on his knees..."

	"Ok, that's all I need to know. Thanks Robert, consider us even." I
give him a wink and leave him with his thoughts.

	"Ok, well if there's nothing left to be said, I'd like everyone to
head back to class," Mr. Gray announces to everyone. "We are currently
halfway through 6th period, so please, be on your way.  Parents, if there's
nothing else I can help you with, I'm asking that you guys leave the campus
as it is still school hours."

	"Who's up for some afternoon tea?" my mom asks everyone. "I think
we all need something to cheer ourselves up. Not to mention Betty and I
have some catching up to do."

	The parents wander off-campus, discussing what they should do for
the rest of the afternoon.  Meanwhile, us students start heading back to
class. On the way out, I pull out my planner and walk up to the secretary.

	"Excuse me Miss, but I have a favor to ask."

	"What is it?" she asks, annoyed at my presence.

	"You see, I found this lost planner on the ground, and I was
wondering if you can tell me what room Brandy Parr is in for 6th and 7th
period? I'd return it to the lost and found, but I imagine she'd be needing
this right away."

	The secretary punches in some numbers and letters, and the screen
pops out a picture of Brandy. "She's in room 415 right now, and she doesn't
have a 7th."

	"Thank you," I say and head off towards class, well... "class."

	Bryan decides to head off back to class, so he splits after
reaching his class room. With just the two of us, I lead Chris down the 400
hall and make right at the nearest locker hallway. Picking a spot where
there weren't class room doors on both sides, we sit down and relax. No
point in going to class since we're already 45 minutes in.

	"Chris, I have some unfinished business to attend to, so you go on
ahead to study hall without me. I'll be there momentarily," I speak softly,
just in case somebody walks by.

	"Ok... I'll just tell the teach that you're in the restroom taking
a dump or something," he giggles.

	I sigh deeply and scoot up next to him. "You feeling ok?"

	"Yeah... even though Evan um... fondled with me, I think I'll
manage. It's not like he did any permanent damage..."

	"Ok... if you ever need to talk about it, let me know ok? The last
thing I wanna see is you being depressed over this."

	"Sure..." he replies as he wraps his arms around me. "...Dylan?"

	"Yes snuggle bug?" I whisper. He gives me the look; I just grin at
him.

	"Two things... First, Patrick and his parents are leaving
Thursday."

	"Oh? What made them decide to leave?"

	"My dad," he states. "You see, he's going on another business trip
for about a week, and since my mom is refusing to go back home, there
really isn't a point for Patrick and his parents to stay at my house."

	"...Did they explicitly say it like that?" I ask for clarification.

	"Yeah, my mom told me that my dad had this conversation
already. Aunt Clair wasn't too happy about it... But it's for the best I
guess," he smiles.

	"Ok."

	"Yeah... but that means I won't be able to sleep with you everyday
now..." he states sadly.

	"Well, let's make the most of it then," I smile back and give him a
hug. "So uh, what's the second piece of news?"

	"...I realized what our dreams meant..." he whispers.

	Suddenly, it hit me. So that's what the dreams were about... To
save Chris from this! Oh my god, greatest epiphany ever! Oh my god!... I
turn to Chris with my mouth open. "Oh my fucking god Chris! It all makes
sense now! Protecting you, to save me, oh my god!"

	Chris points his finger up, attempting to speak, but gets cut off
by the bell. Man, what is with us and timing?! I look at Chris and snicker
a little; he joins in too.

	"We'll talk about it later," I reassure him. We stand up and go our
separate ways; him towards study hall, and me towards room 415.

	I arrive in front of 415 (it was only 5 classrooms down), and rest
my back up against the wall, waiting for Brandy to come out. About two
minutes pass by before the obnoxious girl reveals herself with a slightly
smaller group than usual behind her.

	I unfold my arms, stand up straight, and glide over towards
her. "Hello Brandy..."

	She turns around and looks at me, surprised. "Oh, hello there
Dylan. What can I... do for you?"

	"It's not what you can do for me... more like... what you already
did," I reply coldly. I take a step forward and brush her chin with my cold
hands. "As if middle school weren't enough Brandy..."

	She jumps a little and slaps my hand away. "What the fuck are you
talking about?"

	I sigh deeply. "I know what you did... and let me just say, you've
unleashed this upon yourself."

	"What ever do you mean?" she prances.

	I ignore her and turn my attention to the group of girls behind
her. "To those who follow Brandy, I have a message for all of you. Brandy
has waged war against me by hurting one of my dearest friends.  This is
your first, and last warning. Do not get involved. I will not hesitate to
make your life miserable if you continue to follow in Brandy's footsteps."

	I hear whispers among the crowd. Some of the more prominent ones
include, "What is he saying? Did something happen? Just what did Brandy
do?"

	"In any case," I continue, "I've said what I wanted to say to you
girls." I return my gaze to Brandy and mutter in a low, evil voice. "Brace
yourself... I'm going to make your life miserable and unbearable to live
in."

	"And just how do you plan on doing that?" she growls.

	"I think I'll start off with homecoming. I know just how much you
hate losing to Carrie," I sneer back.

	She gasps as I turn my back against her. As I'm walking away, she
shouts loudly at me, "You and what army Dylan?! I'd like to see you try!"

	All I do in response is flip the bird at her with my back still
facing her. Phase one: complete.  Now onto Phase two. I turn the corner and
hear her start a tantrum. "Think you can fuck with me? I'll show you what I
can..."

	Her sound gets covered by the surrounding noises as I make my way
towards the ASB office.  Hoping that she'd be in there, I fling open the
door and look around the room for Carrie.

	"Ah, there you are," I state as I walk up to her.

	"Huh? Oh, hey there Dylan..." she greets while scurrying a paint
brush over a poster.

	"Did the rumor catch wind yet?" I ask.

	"You mean about your fight? Yes, what about it?" she questions
while writing something in big letters.

	"...Brandy set the whole thing up," I state after a brief
pause. Carrie stops what she was doing and sets down the brush.

	She looks at me. "What do you mean?" she hushes softly so that the
other members of ASB wouldn't hear.

	"I mean, she made the first move already by attacking Chris," I
reply back. "Carrie... usually, I wouldn't do this, but this time, she's
gone too far. If it's a war she wants, it's a war she'll get."

	"...Just what do you plan on doing?" Carrie asks slowly.

	"I don't know. What do you think I should do? Homecoming queen?" I
smirk.

	Her eyes light up and grins gleefully. "You mean?"

	"Yep. This year, I'm going out with a bang. I think it's time we
put my skills to the use."

	"What do you need me to do?" Carrie asks.

	"I'm going to need a list of everything ASB is involved in with
homecoming. And I mean everything..." I stress.

	"Sure! Heather!" Carrie calls out.

	"Yeah?" Heather replies while walking towards us.

	"Guess who's going to be a queen?!"

	Heather's eyes grow wide this time and opens her mouth. She grabs
hold of Carrie's hands and the two start jumping with joy. "Oh my god-oh my
god-oh my god!"

	"Ahem!" someone coughs.

	"Oops! Sorry Andrew," Carrie whispers back, and then continues to
giggle. "Ok. Serious face time." She grabs some air in front of her face to
try and contain her excitement. "What do plan on doing?"

	"Hmm... let's see..."

I know how long some of you have wait for this. So sorry for the delay. I
hope you guys are enjoying what I've been writing so far. It isn't easy,
but it's so rewarding when you see yourself finish a chapter. I don't know,
it's like you've reach a goal before a deadline, even though there really
isn't one (a deadline).

The original plan was to submit three chapters all at once, but chapter 16
is a bit of a dooey. So I'm holding onto it for a day or two to fix the
errors and get everything down. Trust me, a lot of you guys are going to
like the next chapter. So please be patient and bare with me... Jet lag and
whatnot.
