The Broken Werewolves: The Human Mate (LGBT)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Nigel Quintin Ulysses

Seeing Blaine Maximus with the new guy in the school is kind of pissing me off; I don't even know the reason why I'm getting annoyed by the fact that I'm seeing them buddy-buddy together. It's not the fact that Blaine Maximus is an openly gay guy who is always being bullied by some of my teammates in the basketball team. No it's about Mark Pierson being comfortable immediately with Blaine Maximus, whom he just met not even thirty minutes ago.

Before I was annoyed that Mark kept following me, but then I knew that he has the same classes as mine, so that quickly went away. Then there were times that he wasn't really paying any attention to me, even though in the third period, where he decided to ignore me, I accidentally (the actual word would be purposely) threw him my pen, but it landed on his table instead. I got it, hoping that he'd give me a glance, but he didn't. He was completely engulfed in the lesson that the professor was spewing to us while I was busy trying to capture his attention. When he didn't give me even a brief glance my way, I figured that I had already pissed him off. Somehow.

Blaine and Mark keep talking, hands motioning in the air as they talk about something rather interesting. Because if Blaine isn't talking about an amazing stuff, Mark will not be amused as Blain tells him the story. Suddenly I'm interested to know what Blaine is sharing with Mark because it seems so entertaining, considering that Mark will chuckle every so often. His table is just four tables away from me, but it's enough to see what they are doing from here.

I'm not really fond of Blaine because really he's basically an outcast of Northern High School. As I said before, people here don't have a problem with the other people being gay or lesbian or transgender, but there are some people, like some of my teammates in the basketball team, who don't like them but they aren't really the type to bully them – like shoving them, telling them disgusting stuff, calling them names. No my teammates are far better than being a complete assholes. To be honest, they just don't like Blaine. At all. According to one of my teammates, Reymar, Blaine just gives him an off vibe. I don't know what that is, but it's not a good thing, according to him. Blaine only has a few friends, but they are not from Northern High School. So seeing them together will make people wonder what's up with Blaine. People know better than to hang-out with him.

"Hey Nigel," Reymar calls out to me, tapping my forearm with his index finger. I turn to look at him and he jerks his chin towards the direction of Blaine and Mark, who are still engaged with a deep conversation. I look at them again over my shoulder and see Blaine leaning down and whispering something in Mark's ear. Something flares up inside me that makes me want to go there, tear Blaine from him, and yell at him for being so close with Mark but I quickly flush it away. I try to, though. "Tell that new guy that he shouldn't be hanging out with Blaine. Blaine screams trouble, we all know it."

"Why do you guys hate Blaine again?" I ask them, turning around to give them a confused look.

They all just shrug, munching on burgers and fries they have ordered. June speaks up. "I don't know; there's just something about Blaine that radiates bad vibes. Can't point it out though." He reasons out, taking a huge bite of his cheesy bacon burger. "I mean, we have no bad blood with him. We really don't. It's just that yeah, he screams trouble. He's weird. In a way. I don't know. God, I'm confused now."

"You're confused now?" Noel asks teasingly; they all snicker at that except June, who frowns at them and gives the bird. "Just kidding, June. But you know, if you ever go gay, we'd accept you. In fact, we already do." June throws him a piece of his fries, and the guys laugh at that.

I tune them out, turning around to watch Blaine and Mark again. But they are no longer in their seats. My eyes search frantically, scanning the whole cafeteria; I find them walking through the isle of tables, to the direction of the hallway and something tugs in my chest again – it's not a good feeling. In fact, I feel like my heart is burning in a bad way.

Forcing the feeling out of my system, I do what I usually do when I'm stressed – I eat a lot. I take huge bites of my burger, then grab some fries from my friends and I hope they don't mind because I'm semi PMSing. My mood goes cranky, forcing the image of Blaine and Mark together. In a matter of days, Mark will know better than to hang-out with Blaine. In the next few days, Mark will hang-out with different people rather than Blaine. I can't wait for that day to happen. Smiling to myself, feeling a bit better, I begin to eat normally – and by normally, I mean eat fries and burger at the same time. I just eat more when I'm kind of stressed out.

Okay, I don't feel better again. When the six period comes, both Mark and Blaine enter at the same time. Mark barely gives me a glance; he only gives me a nod as he brushes past me while Blaine is talking about Yu-Gi-Oh. Surprisingly, Mark listens to him, completely interested to the story. I tune Blaine out, ignoring his words and focusing on Mark. There's an available seat beside me, but Mark chooses to sit beside Blaine, which is at the very back of the classroom.

Deciding that I should change seats, I choose the seat that is two seats away from me just so I can hear what they are talking about. Students are starting to fill the room up, entering the room one by one. The other nerds are now getting their book out from their bag, but I refuse to do the same, choosing to watch the two persons behind me (and I hope they are not aware).

Somehow their conversation gets quieter, as if they are whispering to each other rather than talking out loud. I steal a glance just to confirm my assumption and when I do, f**k I am right as hell. Blaine is leaning forward again, whispering something in Mark's ear and a smile tugs into his lips as he nods at whatever Blaine is saying to him.

"Hey, I'll just go to the restroom. We still have 5 minutes before the warning bell rings." He says to Mark and Mark nods. After stating that to Mark, Blaine stands up and goes outside in a rush, practically running.

I take that as a chance to talk to Mark about Blaine. Because as much as I don't want to admit it, I want to inform Mark to stay away from Blaine because he screams trouble. I stand up from my seat and sit next to him. Mark eyes me suspiciously, his eyes squinting at me and I resist the urge to roll my eyes at him. Mark rests his elbow on his desk and his face on his palm, watching me with an expression I can't point out. But I enjoy the look he's giving me.

"What's up, Nigel?" he asks me, my name rolling out of his tongue like he has said that a million times. It makes something inside my stomach twist. I ignore the feeling.

"Stay away from Blaine. He's not good. People here stay away from him because he's weird." I reason out, making it sound like he really needs to stay away from Blaine.

Something in his eyes flash and his lips twitch; his eyes flicker between me and to the door, as if expecting that Blaine would immediately go back. Mark shrugs. "I don't know. Blaine seems really like a cool person. He tells me interesting things that I hadn't heard until he talked to me about it. Like Yu-Gi-Oh."

"Really? Yu-Gi-Oh? I can talk to you about anime stuff. Better than Yu-Gi-Oh." I reply, looking at the door.

"Mark has already told me about anime," he says to me, shrugging, looking at me with a bored expression. I look at him, as if expecting for him to say that he's kidding. To be honest, I only know some of the anime like Ah! My Goddess, DN Angel, Mirumo, and Maburaho, but other than those, I don't know much more. Plus Blaine seems to know that stuff better than I do, which means I need to offer something.

Thinking for a few seconds, I tell him what I really like. "Movies. I know a lot of movies."

"That he hasn't told me about... yet," he comments, eyes twinkling brightly, indicating that I've captured his attention, which makes me feel happy somehow. Because Blaine hasn't told him about everything yet, which means I still have time. I just hope that it's enough.

"That's it," I say, smiling smugly. "Meet me up later after school and I'll tell you everything."

"Okay," he says. That's my cue to stand up and leave him peacefully. I feel lightheaded, happy that I've convinced him. Little does Mark know that I really love movies, love watching them. From local movies to foreign. When I get back to my seat, Blaine enters the room and when he sees Mark, his eyes brighten and he hurries. I frown at that, rolling my eyes.

After Blaine takes a seat, the teacher goes into the classroom and all of the students shut their traps, including Blaine who began talking to Mark again. To be honest, his voice is now irritating me. I've heard Blaine's voice a million times, but this is the only time that I'm getting irritated just because of hearing it when I shouldn't be hearing it in the first place. Whenever he talked before, I would just tune it out. But right now, to be honest, I'm trying my best to ignore his voice but it haunts me like a b***h, going straight into my right ear but it never leaves out the left. How come? I don't even have a freaking idea.

The teacher begins to talk and it's the only voice that got muted out. Blaine is whispering again; I want to seal his mouth with a duck-tape so he won't talk, or open his mouth, again but I'm pretty sure that I'll be guided to the principal office once I do that. The last thing I want to happen is for the principal to talk to my mom about my rude behavior.

I don't want my mother getting stressed out just because of this so I try to remain calm and collected for the love of God. There are million thoughts running inside my head, all at the same time, and it's making my world spin. I want to throw all the curses at Blaine because he should learn to know his place! He shouldn't be talking with Mark and Mark shouldn't be listening to him.

Then it has me thinking: why am I being like this? After meeting Mark, I feel like everything has gone downhill. Then I realize that I shouldn't be thinking this way; I shouldn't be blaming the people just because I'm encountering a scenario that I don't like. Everything happens for a reason, right? So right now, the best thing to do is to brush off whatever I'm feeling towards Blaine and yeah, Mark.

But Blaine should stop talking now to Mark or else. Because I have this feeling now that I'm going to explode. Really. I'm serious about it. And if I do explode, I hope that God will forgive me.
