I'm Fine Now

Hi, my name is Zack and I live in the very small town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I'm currently in my second year of high school, but I found something out in my first year, something that has been ruining my supposedly happy high school life. The thing I found out was that I am gay. I know what your thinking, how do you know for sure you could be wrong, but no I thought that to. I tried to make sure by dating a whole lot of girls, but when the girls tried to kiss me, I ran. Every time I ran, I became less and less popular, not that I cared, but I lost all of my guy friends because of the rumors. The rumors said that I was gay and they were right, but I wasn't about to admit that! Now my only friend is Shelly.

"Crap! I'm almost late for the bus!" I yelled noticing the time while I was getting dressed.

I ran as fast as I could, which wasn't fast, but I made it on time.

"Sorry! I'm a bit late!" I said getting on the bus.

"Why'd you come at all, Gaybo?" yelled one of the guys and everyone laughed.

"Quiet." called the buss driver, not really caring.

I picked one of the seats in the front that was empty and far from the jocks and guys who believe the rumor. The bus ride was so long with all of the jokes about gays and me. When we got to school I went straight to my locker.

"Hey, Zack! Have another bad bus ride?" Shelly said as she came up to my locker.

"What do you think? Jocks and a bunch of others making fun of me because of the rumors, how would you feel?" I said feeling down in the dumps.

"Oh, come on! Cheer up and don't listen to those idiots, they're well, idiots." Shelly said to cheer me up.

"Stop trying cheering me up, nothing can cheer me up today, Nothing." I said mad.

"Well, I have to get to class and so do you so get going, don't let them get to you, bye!" she said leaving.

So I went to class and I thought it was going to be horrible as it all ways is, but I was wrong.

"We have a transfer student today, he's from California."

"Hi, my name is Kyle and like the teacher said I'm from California and I hope to get along with everybody!" Said the handsome transfer student, Kyle.

"So there's an empty desk next to Zack, the skinny boy with black hair and blue eyes." The teacher said even though he didn't have to say I have black hair or blue eyes, I'm the only skinny boy here!

"Hey, nice to meet you." Said Kyle as he walked to the desk next to me.

OMG. He so handsome don't fuck this up! "N-nice to meet you. I-I'm Zack." Crap totally fucked it up!

"Wow, you're pretty shy huh? Cute." Kyle said and I nearly passed out! He thinks I'm cute! Wait... Cute?!

" C-cute? Me? No I'm a g-guy, so c-cute? N-no." I said trying to keep calm a hot guy just called me cute, is he gay too? No probably not...

"Ha ha, no man your cute you just don't know it yet." Kyle whispered siting down.

"Ok, class is starting, quiet." yelled the teacher. All class long I sneaked peaks at my first love.

After class as I walked out the door I saw Kyle walking towards me from behind, but before he could catch up he was swarmed with a crowd of girls and some guys who want to be his friend. I just kept on walking.

"Hey, how was Math class?" Said Shelly as she walked up next to me. "Why is there a big crowd at that locker?"

"Math wasn't too bad and there's a crowd over there, because there's a new transfer student." I said trying not to reveal my crush on him right away.

"Oh, cool. What's the transfer students name?" she asked.

"...Kyle." I said.

"Hmm, well now that I can see him I'm not that interested he looks like a jock, so not my type." Shelly said. Kyle had a well built frame, unlike me he had muscles not huge bulky ones, but he was fit. It looked like he could lift 3 of me and I weigh 105 pounds.

"Yeah, so not my type..." I lied badly.

"Dude, your blushing." Shelly stated. Shelly is the only on who for sure knows I'm gay. "Don't look now, but your dream boy's heading this way."

"What?! Why?!" Crap why is he even bothering with me?

"Hey, Zack! Can you show me around? My next class is Gym and I don't know how to get there." Kyle asked as he got to my locker.

"W-why? Why don't you ask one of your other friends that are over there?" I said blushing because he actually came to me for that.

"Those guys aren't my friends. I don't even remember any of their names, but I remembered yours! So you want to be my friend and show me to my classes?" Kyle asked.

"S-sure, my next class is Gym too." I said kind of surprised at him and at myself for saying yes.

"Really? cool! Come on lets go." Kyle said as I grabbed my gym clothes and he dragged me from my locker to show him to Gym.

"U-um, this is the gym a-and um did you bring your g-gym clothes?" I said nervous, because Kyle still held my hand.

"Yes I did, Mr. Shy Guy." Kyle grinned and held up his bag.

"And u-um can you um let go of m-my hand, please?" I said blushing.

"Oh, yeah, sorry about that." He said letting go.

"It's ok.., but are you sure you want to hang out with m-me? I mean, you must have heard the r-rumors, right? So, you shouldn't h-hang out with me if you don't want rumors to spread about y-you, too." I said as fast as I could to get it out.

"Rumors? No... I don't believe in rumors I like to hear the truth from the people themselves, so are they true?" Kyle asked casually.

"N-no... o-of course n-not!  That's why they call them r-rumors right, haha..." Well, that was so...obvious! Crap, crap, crap!

"Oh? Ok, cool. Lets go, we still need to get dressed." Kyle said as he dragged me to the locker room.

When we got into the locker room all the guys took one look at me and dressed as fast as they could and fled the room. Kyle paid no attention to that and took his shirt off.

"Where do I put my stuff when I'm done?" Kyle asked and took my out of my daze, man he has great muscles!

"You can put them in my locker if you want." I said taking my shirt off too. I felt warm skin touch my back.

"Whoa! W-wha?"

"Hey, sorry, coming over you." He said reaching his arm over my head, I hadn't noticed how tall the was, he was at least 3 feet taller than me. I was about 5.3 and I wasn't growing anymore either!

"Wow... you're so tall." I said looking up at him and blushing at his face hovering over me.

"Yeah, I guess..." He said and his cheeks became a dark red. He was blushing, he's so cute!

"Ha, ha, ha! You're blushing!" I said still kind of enjoying the warmth on my back.

"Yeah? Well you are too!" He said then he did something really unexpected, he started to tickle me!

"Wha-what? Stop! Ha, ha! Sto- It, It tickles!" I cried and almost fell on the ground, but Kyle caught me and stood me back on my feet.

"You ok? Did I tickle you too hard?" Kyle said with a grin.

"W-why did you?" I said very confused and exhausted at this point.

"Well... I've always wanted a little brother and you were just so cute...so I just kind of...yeah." He said blushing and rubbing the back of his head.

"O-oh...ok I guess." I said a bit disappointed. When we finished getting dressed we walked out of the locker room and as usual Kyle was swarmed by girls and I just walked away to sit by myself on the bleachers.

When gym was finished I walked out the door as fast as I could so that Kyle would not catch up to me. Unfortunately, I am not athletic and Kyle is, so he caught up in less than a second.

"Hey! Zack what class do you have next?" He asked now walking beside me.

"English." I said trying to walk faster, but I was getting a little sweaty and tired.

"Aw. I have history." He complained and I sighed in relief.

"'Kay well, bye." I said walking away, still sweating from walking so fast.

"Are you ok? You look a little pale." Kyle asked staring at me.

I started to blush from that intense stare. "I-I'm fine... Just a little tired." I answered. Then I felt the world tip and my conscience slip. I can't remember if I hit the ground, but I woke up in the nurse's office. I sighed, my head hurt, I was dizzy and light headed. I tried to sit up when a strong hand pushed me back onto the bed.

"Don't. You need to rest, you're as pale as a vampire and are sweating a whole lot. Stay. In. Bed." Kyle said kind of pointedly. I hadn't seen Kyle this mad before, then again he just met him today. Kyle just didn't seem to be the type of person who would get mad ever.
