The Only Exception

     "One question though." Nick said.

     "Whick is?" I questioned, bringing my arms back to my sides.

     "You're not like... Ugh... Crushing on me. Are you?" He questioned. I couldn't help it. I laughed.

     "No, you're not my type, and you're striaght." I replied.

     "What the hell's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

     "Exactly what I said. Well see ya later Nicky." I then walked away.

PRESENT

     The luch bell rang and I had to pee bad! I told Nick I'd catch up with him and ran to the bathroom. Lucky for me Ardon's favorite hangout was on the way back to the cafeteria. You know, if you take the long route, but whatever. I stopped around the corner and pressed my back against the wall and listened. Some people call this evesdropping. You people are idiots. I'm obviously getting my information straight from the source.

     "So Ardon, did you talk to Ashton this morning?" One of Ardon's friends asked.

     "Yea. He stuttered like an idiot. That kid is so hilarious." Ardon replied.

     Oh no he didn't! I knew he was just messing with me! Okay, I was hoping he secretly like me. But seriously? Before I could even think, I had jumped out of my hiding spot, giving Ardon a good view of my fury.

     "I'm glad to be of entertainment, you col-hearted bastard!" I yelled.

     Ardon's jaw dropped and his eyes almost fell out of his head. His friends had pretty much the same expressions on thier faces. I scoffed at them before turning around and walking away. I can't believe him! That self-centered, cold-hearted, sexy, tan, muscular. No! Stop Ashton! He's straight and he doesn't like you. It's better this way. By this time I was at the lunch table and I sat down.

     "Ashton, you okay?" Nick asked cautiously. I guess I have that murderous look in my eye I sometimes get.

     "Just peachy." I spat.

     "Wanna talk about it later?" He asked.

     "Yes." I replied.

     Nick gave my shoulder a pat as I angrily stabbed at my food. This is why I love my best friend. But ONLY in a friendly way. Nick is so not my type. Sure he's hot and all, but he's also captain of the football team. That is drama I so do not need, plus he's straight. The bell rang, interupting my thoughts, so I headed off to class.

     If you're wondering, my parents knew I was gay right after I found out. They felt bad for me because I was depressed and didn't want to tell anyone, so they bought me a car. My dark red chevy camaro is a beast. I take it everywhere and treat it like a baby.

     The final bell rang and I skipped down the hallway to my locker. I was about to grab my keys when I remembered I have a detention. I can't believe Mr. Bern didn't believe me when I told him I wasn't the one to put the condom in his drawer. Of course I did it. It was hilarious! But now I have detention for playing a harmless joke.

     I got into the detention room and there was only one other student present. Guess who it is. If you guessed Ardon, you're right. I rolled my eyes and sat as far away from him as I could. Guess who was the detention teacher. Mr. Bern! Halfway through Mr. Bern said he had an erand to attend to. Personnaly, I think he's gonna put that condom to good use. ;) Wanna know why I think that? He told us if he wasn't back by 4:00 we could leave. Wooo! Way to get some Mr. Bern! Okay that put an unwanted image in my head.
