Same Love
Sam
I sat in my history class, not paying any attention to what Mr.Ray was saying. I couldn’t help it, his voice made me want to fall asleep. It was always in that same damn boring tone. Plus, there was Kevin. The guy that I couldn’t help but stare at each time I could get a chance. God, he was beautiful, with those dark eyes and orange tinted hair. Just...gorgeous.
“Samuel Choi!”
I jumped in my seat and stared, wide eyed at my teacher. “Mr. Lee’s head is not the board. Pay attention,” he said bluntly. Who knew I could hate someone so quickly.
I slid down my seat, my face burning. Kevin turned to look at me. Why couldn’t Mr. Ray say, “Kevin” instead of, “Mr. Lee”? Seeing as to how there were three Kevins and ONE Mr. Lee in the class.
“Thanks, didn’t know that,” I muttered, earning a few snigger from those around me. I grinned with them. It felt pretty good to know that the class was full of idiots.
I sat up, giving a fake smile to those around me. I quickly glanced at Kevin, those dark eyes burned back. I gulped as I felt my face get hot again. “Damn it,” I groaned and wiped my sweaty hands against my jeans. Why did he have to make me feel like this?
Once the bell rang, I tried to hurry as fast as I could out of the classroom.
“Wait a second. Choi, Lee, come here,” Mr.Ray said. I turned slowly and walked to his desk. Kevin stood next to me, the top pf his head just reaching my chin. I my lips and tried to keep my attention on my boring teacher. “Now you’re here because one classmate is an idiot and the other has an A.” If my jaw could drop to the floor it totally would right now.
“Kevin, I’m asking you to tutor Samuel. How he is failing this class and managing an A in others...I don’t know. So I’m having you tutor him every day after school. And you are required to show me notes and any other work that you have done, Mr. Choi.”
I looked down at Kevin. His eyes were wide from the news. He put his head down and sighed. “Yes, sir.” he said softly. I rubbed my arms. I know that I shouldn’t be rejoicing the fact that I am failing, but, time alone with Kevin for a few hours...That is priceless. I forced myself not to give a stupid smile.
“But I have track,” I said trying to make myself sound disappointed.
“Think about that every time you are staring at a certain someone in my class.” Mr. Ray smirked. My eyes darted from him to Kevin, who was doing the same to me and him, obviously confused.
“I suggest starting those tutoring sessions today.”
Kevin and I slowly walked out.
“Today is Friday, right?” I asked.
“Yes, that was last period.”
“Meet me in front of the school in five minutes then.”
Kevin nodded and walked to his locker. I hurried to mine in excitement.
Kevin
I sat on the wall outside, waiting for Samuel. Shivering, I pulled my coat tighter around me. I should have just waited inside, instead of coming out to deal with the November weather. Knowing Samuel, he’ll probably just leave without me.
I checked my cell for the fifth time. It’s only been three minutes since he left me. Feels like an hour.
I stared at the door, waiting, when Samuel, shockingly, came out. He smiled at me, his black hair blowing in the wind.
“I thought you were smart, Lee. Should have waited inside,” he said in a sarcastic tone. I hate him. He was always sarcastic and rude. An idiot at heart. And an . Although, when I’m being called a, “,” it’s the only time that he doesn’t join in.
“Come on, before you freeze to death,” he said, walking away.
I swear the only thing that he is good at is track, and breaking girls’ hearts. He’s handsome, and a player. He must have gone out with all the girls in our grade and above by now. They all liked his height and slightly muscular form. I’ll be honest, I can’t help but look when we’re in the locker rooms. But...he always sees me looking.
“Come on, kid walk faster,” I looked up to see that he was walking beside me now.
“Not my fault I’m dying from hypothermia,” I muttered.
“Well, kind of is…” Smartass. I decided to ignore the fact that I heard his comment.
“Where are we going?” I had just realized that we had left the school grounds.
“My house is close by...I don’t own a car. Prefer walking anyways,” I watched as he rubbed his hands together. “Right…”
Ten minutes later, we were inside of his house, still shivering from the cold.
He immediately rushed to the kitchen. I followed closely behind, sighing.
“My room is the warmest in the house. So..um do homework in here or in my room?” he asked politely.
Politely…? I think I gave myself a mini heart attack there.
“Here,” I said bluntly.
This was a time when I really had no words to say. I was surprised, quite honestly.
He shrugged and put his bag down.
“Want s-”
“No.”
“I never finished my question.”
“The answer was still going to be no anyways.”
Samuel gave me a confused look. I pulled off my bag and sat down at the table.
“Get out your history stuff, the sooner we finish the faster you don’t have to look at my face,” I muttered as I pulled out all of my notebooks.
“Well someone doesn’t like people much,” Samuel said. I don’t know why this made me mad, but it did.
“Just do your work,” I snapped at him. If I didn’t know better , I’d say he looked offended. But knowing him, he was probably faking.
After hours of working, we made quick progress. I didn’t know Samuel was able to learn all of the sections in one day. I thought he was an idiot who just knew how to make jokes and get the girls. But even with our working, he was able to cram in a few jokes, causing me to smile with him. I looked at all the notes around us. How is he managing an F in this class…
“Hey...don’t give the notes in all at once...knowing Mr.Ray he’ll lose them…” I said.
Samuel nodded. “Already 20 steps ahead of you,” he said grinning.
“Then you can go back to doing track,” I said back. He just laughed.
“Nah. I like studying with you a lot more than track.”
Sam
It’s been weeks since we started our tutoring sessions. and the more we do, the more i like him and want him. He changed his hair too. To a crimson color. He looks really cool if you ask me. But…
“Hey! Hey Lee!” Kevin turned to see who was talking to him.
“Looking gayer than ever I see, huh.” I ing hated this bastard. Daniel, he always had something to say about Kevin. “Think you look like a flash. Right? Fa-”
I grabbed his shoulder. “One more word out off that ugly as mouth of yours, I’m going to make you wish you had never been born.”
The whole class became silent. I always did know how to make a person listen to me.
“Aw come on Sam. You g-” A first hit him square in the jaw. A fist that wasn’t mine. The whole class started to chatter.
I stared at Kevin, who was standing there, panting in fury, his fists balled up in front of his face. I let go of Daniel in shock. “Damn thats hot,” I muttered to myself. Then everyone looked at me.
“What?”
I blinked and stared at Kevin, who’s face was so red it almost matched his hair. I bit my lip and cleared my throat. I didn’t like having everyone’s eyes on me. But I said what I said, and they heard me. “I said, ‘Damn, that’s hot,’” I said louder.
I could see Kevin almost dying right there. He ran out of the room, laughter following him.
“Good one Sam!” Someone said, as I ran out of the room after Kevin.
“Kevin! Kevin! Wait! H-hold up!” I watched as Kevin continued to run.
I ran faster and faster, until my legs felt like they were on fire. Finally, I caught up to him. I grabbed him and held him tight. He tried to hide his face that was covered in wet streaks.
“W-why w-would y-you d-do that y-you a-,” he sobbed. But I couldn’t answer the question. All I could think was, his eyes look so beautiful when he’s crying.
Before I could think of anything better to do, I gently pressed my lips against his soft ones. I waited, hoping he’d kiss back, but he didn’t. So I pulled away.
“What was that for?” He asked. His cheeks were pink. I rubbed the back of my head.
“Well...you see Kevin…I-I’ve liked you since middle school…” I said grinning.
Kevin
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My lips tingled and I had butterflies in my stomach. So he was gay...this whole time...without me or anyone else knowing? But all those girls….
God why am I thinking about this right now? F it, I’m going to do it.
I flung my arms around his neck and crushed our lips together. I’ve never kissed anyone before, let alone a handsome guy. I felt his lips curl up into a smile against mine. I pulled away.
“I need to teach you lessons about kissing hm?” Samuel said with a little smirk. I smiled and nodded shyly.
“Well you gotta move your lips like this,” he said and once again our lips locked.
(How'd you guys like it? I was so surprised my teacher approved this is it good?)
