Absolute Obsession: A BL Romance

First Day

It's Monday morning and I'm sitting in front of the living room window, looking out. The sun is bright and shining in and I find myself squinting from the glare. I should get up and get myself ready to leave for school but I just can't yet. I'm too nervous. See this is my first day to start at this school. And it will be in the middle of the school year! God I can't cope with this! My mom is too cruel making us move now! How am I suppose to make friends here now? I don't have the courage to just go up and start talking to people! I'm going to be the school nerd again and this time even worse because I won't have anyone to hang out with this time!
I hang my head briefly then I slowly stood up from the chair I had placed in front of the window. I looked towards one of the bedroom doors that was closed and frowned bitterly. Mom. My first day starting a new school and of course she couldn't be bothered to get up to see me off. What did I expect anyways.
My mom was a piece of work. Just last year we were living across town when she had a windfall. All of a sudden she had a lot of money and I don't know where she got it, she wouldn't tell me. You see we're really poor. You know holes in the clothes and wearing holey shoes where your big toe is pointing out poor. That was us last year. I mean we're still poor now but not as bad as before. I still wore clothes with holes in them but I got brand new shoes now , so no holes in them!
So anyways, my mother got a bit of money ( she wouldn't tell me how much), and what she spent it on still makes me cringe just thinking about. Plastic surgery! But not on her! On me!!
Now you obviously wouldn't know but I'm a guy. Not only that but I'm seventeen. What kind of mother would drag their child kicking and screaming to have laser eye surgery so he can look better? A couple of years ago I was a bit overweight. Ok.....maybe....somewhat chubby? Alright alright I admit I was fat, there I said it! I was fat with glasses and I was a nerd because I watched lots of anime and read manga galore with my other nerdy friends. But I had fun!
My mother clearly hated it cause she put me on a diet, which makes me mad every time I think of because she had put a chain and lock around the fridge and locks on the cabinet doors. I have no clue how she had it done because we had no money to spare then ( probably one of her many boyfriends did it). All I know is I came home from school one day and they were there. My mom was actually home that day (which is rare), waiting for me.
She explained about the diet I was going on and she showed me the menu I would follow and that every morning before school and after school I had to go and jog for an hour. I was so angry I could have spit, because first you gotta understand something. I would be the one cooking these diet meals! I swear my mother was either a queen or a princess in her past life because she doesn't do anything in the house. As far as I can remember I was the one who had to do the cleaning and the cooking. As soon as I came home from school I had to do my homework and cook dinner, which had to be enough for her (from when she came home from her late job) as well, and for my lunch to take to school the next day. Not to mention cleaning! I couldn't believe I was being forced to diet and cook the bl__dy food that already looked unappetizing!
Even though my mother scares me to death I somehow found the courage to argue with her. In the end though I naturally gave in after she hit me a few times on the side of my head. My mother can hit really hard!
So it took me a little over a year to lose all that weight I was carrying. Then it wasn't long after when she got that money and made me have the eye surgery. Then suddenly a month ago she sprang on me that we were moving!
Now here I was dreading my debut at Chaow High school. I went to use the bathroom quickly, but found that I didn't really have to go. I guess my nerves was in overdrive! I looked at myself in the small mirror hanging above the sink. I tried to see what my mother saw. She seemed quite pleased with herself once I lose the weight and didn't need glasses anymore. She said I looked like her now. My mother was very conceited. Ya she was very pretty I had to admit. Some people even called her beautiful. So if I looked like her then I must be the ugly version to her beauty because whenever I looked in the mirror I still saw that fat kid with glasses.
In case your wondering I'm Chinese and I live in Thailand. Although my looks are different than what a Chinese person normally looks like. For one, I don't have the single lid that most Chinese people have, I instead have the double lids that none Asians have. Although I do have that almond shape to my eyes, it still looked different as well. Also my nose was straight and small, and I had really high cheek bones. My mother said if I was taller I could've been a model because of my cheekbones. Ya right!
With my looks, sometimes I wonder if I was maybe half Chinese and half white. I figured white since I was really pale in colour. I never met my father, since he wasn't around by the time I was born, and my mother doesn't have any pictures of him.
I asked her once when I was younger but she wouldn't answer. Knowing her she probably wouldn't know who it was anyways with the amount of men she's been with. So many men came and went throughout the years that I can't even count.
I left the bathroom and looked at the time. My stomach clenched. Time to go. I grabbed my lunch bag and put it in my backpack. After putting on my shoes I looked at the closed bedroom door one last time then I left the house.
I was walking down the street towards the train station in order to get to school when I thought I heard someone yell something. It sounded like a male voice so I knew they weren't talking to me cause I didn't know any males here, so I just kept walking.
"Hey!" I jumped and looked behind me at the same time. Whoever it was was loud and right behind me.
I backed away slightly and saw he was only a boy like me. He was panting like he was running.
"Sorry if I scared you but I was trying to get your attention for awhile." He smiled at me.
I was taken aback. He was? That was a first. No one ever tried to get my attention before.
"I'm sorry, I did hear you but I thought you were calling someone else."
"That's ok," he smiled at me again. "My name is Lei Chan, what's yours?"
"Jun Jie," I answered. I looked at him to see if he thought my name was strange but all he did was switch his backpack to his other shoulder.
"Are you going to be attending Chaow Highschool?" He asked me.
"Yes."
"Then we better get going before we miss our train." He smiled at me again. He sure is cheerful.
I peeked a look at him as we both turned towards the station and started walking. He had a Chinese name but he looked more Japanese to me. His hair was black of course ( we are Asians after all), but it was a little bit long than was required for attending school. How does he get away with it? Plus he was really slim and quite pretty actually. I didn't know guys could be pretty! Wow! I was a bit taller than him, and I knew the upper part of my body was probably slim like him but my lower body was another matter.
I cringe remembering my mother describing my body. She said how I had such nice slim hips and yet I had a little meat on my thighs and butt, which was good because it gave me a sexy look. What mother would say that?!
Wait a minute....the way he asked me about going to school was like he knew today was my first day. How'd he know? I was thinking of asking him but I was too shy to, so I looked off to the right of me while we were walking since he was on my left side.
"So you're a quiet one, eh?" He nudged me with his elbow.
"Huh, ya" I looked over at him, embarrassed. Really? That's all I have to say? Come on say something else. But for the life of me I couldn't think of anything! Great, now he's going to think I'm weird and never try and talk to me again.
I looked over to my right again trying to think of something to say. Should I bring up the weather? Comment on how sunny it is today? What do I do?!
"I saw you moving in on the weekend."
I turned and looked at him again. Oh thank God, he brought something up I can talk about. As you can see I suck very bad at small talk. He he.
"Ya."
"I live two doors down from you so I watched through my window. I would've came by to say hi to you but I was busy helping my dad paint."
"Oh that's ok." I smiled tentatively at him. So that's how he knew today was my first day.
We arrived at the train station and we only had to wait for a few minutes before our train came.
There was a lot of people on the train but I didn't pay attention to my surroundings because I was getting more nervous about school since we were getting closer. Lei didn't say anything to me while we were on the train ( I guess because there were so many people on), but once we got off he started talking again.
"Do you know your class schedule yet?" He asked me.
"Yes." I then told him about it.
"What?!" He yelled quietly. "That's great!"
"Huh?" I looked at him.
"You're in my grade and you're in the same first period as me, how awesome is that!" He exclaimed.
"Ya," I smiled. I really didn't know what else to say. Loser! Can I say Loser!!
I continued walking beside him quietly.
There was a male teacher in front of the school watching everyone enter. I felt apprehensive like he was going to stop me, but he didn't (I don't know why I had that feeling) and we entered the school.
"Come on I'll take you to the office."
Lei tapped my shoulder and I followed him through the throng of students, grateful that he was helping me because I realized I would have been overwhelmed if he hadn't been here to help.
We arrived in front of the office and he turned to me.
"I'll have to leave you here or I'll be late. I'll leave an open seat beside me so we can sit together alright?" Was he asking me?
"Ok" I answered.
I then watched him walk away disappearing within the mass of students trying to get to their classes.
I smiled slightly to myself. Did I just make a new friend on my first day here?
Was this a sign that maybe I'll have a good year at this school?
Then I thought of my mother and for some reason felt a chill go up my spine.
I shook my head slightly, turned towards the office and walked in.

Hi everyone! This is my first attempt at writing so this chapter is just a tester. If you like it let me know then I'll continue the story. Thank you! （＾∇＾）
