				The Rose Garden
			  Chapter 5: Something worthwhile

I stared out into the beautiful summer sky as i sat on my desk, listening
the birds chirping their songs, the sun's heat soaking through my skin to my
bones, feeling the warm summer breeze against my face, my thoughts about
Chad, i was in complete tranquillity.

Maybe i should visit Chad again i thought as i stood up and headed towards
the door, one thing also seemed to never to leave my mind, what Ryan did to
me at that party yesterday. I know that i shouldn't think of it but what if
he raped me, i hope not, but why should i just assume that he is gay? for
all i know he's probably not.

I grabbed my shoes and put them on quickly and soon headed out from the door
and walked towards Chad's room. I just stood there as i looked at the door.
I slowly brought my fist up and for what seemed like forever i finally
knocked on the door, after a couple moments, A familiar face answered the
door. It was Chad, the stranger who i think that is an angel from heaven, he
was just wearing blue jeans with a grey sweater, he looked pretty good.

"Oh.....hi....Alex is your name right?" he asked, man his voice was so sexy.

"Yep...so wassup?" i asked in a cheerful tone.

"Um...nothing..........you?" he quietly replied.

"Nothing much either....umm can i come in?" i asked, i was pretty sure that
he was gonna say yes, man was i getting so excited, me with this hot guy in
his room!

"uh....i guess" he quietly said, boy, was my smile reaching to ear to ear, i
was so happy and excited, then the thought of him being not gay kicked in,
my excitement went down to +2, what a bummer, i walked in and my eyes went
wide open, there was  hundreds of candles(and I'm not being sarcastic too),
different shapes, sizes,  different colours from  ocean blue to flaming red
to  rose pink to forest green, they looked like they never been used.

"wow, you must like candles" i said in awe.

"yeah...i have been collecting them since i was 12" he quietly said.

"that's cool...so how old are you now?" i said, very curious to know what
he's like

"I'm 15, turning 16 in August" he said, his volume of his voice a bit
louder, he must be loosening up to me.

"oh...I'm 16, gonna turn 17 pretty soon" i said, being proud i was the older
one (hey i kinda like to brag you know)

"oh...that's nice" he said as he sat down on his bed.

"so...you party?" i asked hoping that he might have been at that party last
night.

"no...i don't party...I'm not part of that cool group" he said, his voice
quiet again himself slowly crawling back into his shell, i kinda knew that
this conversation is not going his way.

"oh...that's cool...i guess" i said.

He just shrugged and just looked at his feet which he was wearing white
socks.

"So...what do you like to do?" i asked.

"i like to draw. read and write stories, I'm currently writing this online
story called `Petals of a black rose', it's not really popular right now but
someday it will" he said barely making a smile, i found his smile a very
beautiful thing like a sunrise.

"oh....cool" i just replied with a big smile on my face, i knew this smile
was  making look like an idiot.

"umm...do you have anything else to do?" he asked, i guess this guy didn't
really wanted to talk to me because i kinda got a hint that we're from
different places in the social world.

"yeah...i guess" i said, looking down.

"umm...ok....maybe tomorrow you can go somewhere with me" he said trying to
make up for what he said a second ago.

"yeah sure that would be great, i got nothing else to do anyway" i said as i
stood up and headed for the door, he just sat there on his bed deep in
thought, then he looked at me as i walked out of the door. I let out a big
sigh of defeat with some happiness in it as i walked towards my room
knowing that it might work out into a friendship hopefully something beyond
that, i was really looking forward to tomorrow...
