Worthington Manor - 10. Chapter 10

“Justin! Hunter! The bus is here!” yelled Julia from downstairs.
“I still don’t understand why we have to take the bus to school when you have a car.” said Justin to Hunter as the made their way down the stairs.
“Well, the high school has this policy where they don’t give student parking permits to any student under the eleventh grade and I am only in the tenth.” said Hunter
“Well that sucks.”

They put their coats on, yelled goodbye as they left the house and ran down the driveway to the bus. They sat in the same seat together. The bus was relatively silent. Everyone was sitting in their own seat, except for Hunter and Justin who sat in the same seat. All of the students around them were staring holes into their bodies. They could feel the eyes upon them.

Justin was especially nervous. So nervous that he had to grab Hunter’s hand and Hunter was glad to be Justin’s comfort. Justin made feel a lot more different than any other guy that he had been with. He knew this from the moment he set eyes on him. He knew that Justin was special, but he wasn’t quite sure how special yet, but he sure was really special to him. They got off of the bus holding hands. Justin spotted Luke and right away wanted to talk to him.

“Hey listen, Hunter, I’m going to go talk to Luke okay. I’ll meet you at lunch okay.” said Justin
“Okay, that’s cool. I’ll be looking forward to it.” Hunter gave Justin a peck on the lips.

Justin made his way over to Justin who was with Noah and Jessica.

“Hey Justin” said Jessica
“Hey Jessica, Noah” said Justin. “Luke, I think that we should talk.”
“There’s nothing for us to talk about.” said Luke quietly with his head down.
“I think that there is. Please Jessica, Noah; can you please leave us so that talk in private?”
“Sure” said Noah
“No! Don’t go anywhere!” yelled Luke. “I have nothing to say to him.”

Justin bent his head down and left Luke alone. He went to the office and picked up his classes. He walked into his first class of the day and it was already in session.

“Oh, you must be Justin. Hi, I’m Mr. Jameson. Welcome to English nine.” said the teacher.
“Yeah, where do I sit?”

Mr. Jameson took a look around the room.

“Let’s see, there’s only one seat left right over there.”

The desk he was pointing to was right next to Luke. Justin let out a sigh and made his way to the desk. He sat down and Luke leaned over to him.

“I’m sorry that I had to act like that, but I didn’t want them to know what happened.” whispered
“You could have done it without insulting me.” whispered Justin.
“I didn’t insult you.” whispered Luke
“When someone talks to me like you did earlier, I take it as an insult.” whispered Justin
“I’m sorry. The last thing I wanted to do is hurt you.” whispered Luke

“So how did it go with Luke?” asked Hunter as he sat next to Justin at the lunch table.
“It went okay I guess.”
“What did you two need to talk about?”

Justin was hesitant.

“It’s okay. You can tell me. I’m not going to freak out.” said Hunter
“I don’t really think that I should.” said Justin.
“What so now you two have secrets now?” asked Hunter
“No, it’s just a very touchy subject and I don’t think that Luke would appreciate it all too much if I told you his personal business.” said Justin
“Well, I understand that.”
“That’s why I love you.”
“What?”
“Ah, I”

Not only was Hunter caught off guard by Justin’s words, Justin was as well.

“That’s okay. You don’t have to explain. I know what you meant.’ said Hunter
“Good, because I didn’t know what to say.” said Justin.

Hunter really did want to say it back, but wasn’t entirely sure that he was ready. The bus ride there, for both of them, was extremely silent. They didn’t know what to say to each other. Justin went straight to his room and started his homework. He started, but kept getting distracted. Just as he started to get on a roll, Hunter came in and locked the door behind him.

“Okay, I can’t handle this.” said Hunter
“Handle what?”
“I can’t handle being apart from you.”
“We just left each other like twenty minutes ago.”
“I know, I can’t handle it”

Hunter walked up to Justin, pulled him out of his desk chair and placed his lips on Justin's. The kiss was rough and desperate, but passionate and loving. Hunter pulled at the bottom of Justin’s sweater and pulled it off of him along with the t-shirt that he was wearing underneath it.

“What are you doing?” asked Justin, breathing heavily.
“Making love to you.” said Hunter
