The start of boarding school, my favourite. I strolled onto the bus with my older brother Quinn, who was 1 and I, 3 years younger, we got on I noticed my boys at the back of the bus, they whooped and yelled my name and so did Quinn's friends. I also noticed a few newcomers who were quietly checking me out along with all the girls on the bus. I had just arrived back from Santorini and Quinn and I had gone from snowman pale to golden god. We spent most of our days basking in the sun playing football or working out at the gym, however Quinn spent most of his days with a different girl every week. I grinned at the thought as I see his girlfriend Veronica lean in to kiss him on the mouth. She didn't know what was coming.
He ruffled my hair and sat in the middle with his mates while I made my way to the bus too be wildly greeted by all of my friends, who practically yanked me into the spare seat they always saved for me. "Ready for another term Cohen?", my best mate Zeke brought me into a hug, and we grinned widely. " Woah my dude, you are looking hot, how the fuck did you tan, I'm sure Aiden is jealous" we howled with laughter as we glance at Aiden, one of the nerdier kids at school who had fallen asleep with sunglasses on and now had a bright red sun glass tan.
" I hope we get a room together" Zeke muttered, we had been together all the past years, because my dad owns a large business of industry and he manages to scare the principles into anything he wants. I avert my eyes; I was pretty sure I would not get a room with Zeke since we had gotten in huge trouble for lighting fireworks outside the dorm in the hallways and it led to a suspension. My dad had gotten really angry and he refused to let me be in a cabin with Zeke again also because my grades had dropped immensely. "Yeah, I hope so too" I mutter back to him. "Yo is it just me or does your bro have a different chick every week", Dimitri nudges me. " sign me up" he whispers while winking. Zeke bursts into laughter " you know you want Quinn, such a faggot" he roars as we all burst into howls of laughter again. My stomach was aching so badly and I was clutching at my sides as I wheezed and tried to catch my breath.
I looked in front of me to see a guy the same age staring back at me, he was frowning at us and when he caught me glaring back at him daringly, he froze and turned back to the front. " Who is that dude, what is his problem" I mutter to myself. " Who?" Zeke frowns trying to see where I was looking. "The guy right diagonal from us near the bus driver, he was frowning at what we were saying" I roll my eyes. " Ohhh, that dude!" Zeke elbows Luke who is on the other side of him and they mouth the word fag. My eyes widen, "woah there's an actual fag at our private school? How do you know?" I whisper back. " He is always around girls and he isn't dating any of them" he replies back quickly. " Oh shit, boys we have ourselves a fag" I roar with laughter as they joined in. "He must make money from sucking cocks" Luke replies and it just sets us off again.
I make eye contact with my brother who has Veronica straddling him on the bus, he winks at me as he slides his hand up her shirt, I shoot him the finger and he shoots me one back, cracking me up gain. The bus came to a halt right outside Brisbane Grammar and everyone remained seated as usual allowing us to pass and get off the bus first, except the same guy, gets off the bus right in front of us and Aiden, who is behind him mutters quietly to the rest of us, " faggots get off last", the rest of the guys laugh and the guy looks straight at me and I avert my gaze, eventually laughing with them as he gets shoved back into his seat and we all stroll past, high fiving the senior girls at the front and shaking the drivers hand with a "pleasure doing business with you, son", making him laugh and snort. We jump off the bus and I get blinded by the sunlight almost straight away. I pull my duffel bag over my shoulder as we make our ways to the boys' dorm.
When we enter the familiar musky hall, I breathe it in, it still smelt smoky from when Zeke and I had set off fireworks and almost burnt down the school, as though he is thinking the same thing, he grins back. The smell of fresh lynx wafted up my nostrils. " boys, home sweet home" I grinned as we all pumped fists and raced down to the hall until we reached the stairs and staggered up them. We always got a larger suite than regular students, Zeke thinks it's because, "the principal is scared of out parents" and honestly, I had begun to agree. The dorm doors had 2 names on each and we squinted at the small print. Aiden and Isaac, Dimitri and Luke, Zeke and Joshua and finally, Wilder and Phoenix.
