Chapter Two

1486 Words
Who in the heavens is that? He is good looking. Bright blue eyes, pale skin, his lips are full and pink. With cross earrings on his ears. And he looks to be from a family with Asian descent. Maybe his mom or even his grandparents. Hell he's gorgeous. He gives me a disgusted look and I'm forced to look away. I know that look. You don't have to be warned by words, that look is able to tell you to stay the f**k away. " Did you even hear a thing I said?" Lana asks. Of course I didn't hear s**t, probably because I was ogling this very good looking guy who's definitely straight. So not fair. " Uh…" I raise my brows as I stare at Lana, my eyes involuntarily staring at this guy behind Lana. And this time he caught me before I even had time to check him out. He's with a girl. A redhead who's bored out of her mind since she's been looking at her phone like forever. Maybe his girlfriend. Lana looks behind her as she turns to look at me with a smirk. I nearly rolled my eyes. " Oh I know what's going on now." She smirks as the waiter brings our orders and drops it on the table. The waiter leaves. " So you've got the hots for Jakob Pierce, huh?" She raises her brows and smirks at me. " The f**k! s**t no. I don't know what you're talking about." I say and take a sip from my coffee. " I won't judge. He's pretty hot himself and he's attractive." Lana says. I shake my head and push my glasses against my nose. " I don't know what you're talking about." I lied. I sigh as I try not to look at him again. What happened to the promise I made to myself and my parents? Stay away from jerks and hot guys, and here I am staring at this hot straight guy. The reality that I'm gay is sinking into my skin. Shit. " Trust me I don't judge. Plus Jakob Pierce isn't the guy you wanna fall for?" Whoever this Jakob Pierce guy is, I want to tell Lana I don't even like him. He's hot, yes, and I need to stay away from him. But hearing myself makes me want to laugh at myself. I'm not sure I'll ever get bored of staring at Jakob Pierce. " Why's that?" I ask Lana, taking a bite from my pizza. " He's like one of the most popular guys in school. Hot, frat king. Owns the biggest frat house in college and almost every girl in school and guys wants to f**k him." Oh I see. I shrug, seemingly not interested in this Jakob Pierce anymore. He's definitely a jerk and maybe a Casanova. Without being told he changes girls like diapers since every girl wants to have s*x with him. " Trust me Lana, I'm not interested." I say, after chewing my pizza and downing it with coffee. I need a nap after today's hectic lectures. " So you've got a boyfriend?" Lana asks. I nearly choke on my coffee. Why would she ask that? Lana smirks in satisfaction at the look on my face. She knows I'm embarrassed and flushed. " I have never dated anyone before." I admit with a sigh. That's so depressing to say. " What! You're like one of the cutest guys I have ever met. Every person would fall for that dimple of yours." She smirks and I blushed. " Sadly nobody wants to date this guy. These guys love assholes plus I'm complicated. My parents are…" I sigh and look around the Café, asking myself if it's okay to talk about my parents with a total stranger. " I'm your friend now, Ashton. You can tell me anything. I promise your secret is safe with me as long as you don't want me to tell." " They're homophobes. They hate gay before and they believe the LGBT community is the reason we still have hurricanes." I cringe as I say it out loud. " That's the weirdest s**t I've ever heard in my life." Lana chuckles as she slurps her milkshake. " Agreed. It's f****d up. In highschool I did something I still regretted, I never knew I was coming out to the whole school. I didn't think that through. I was bullied throughout senior year. It was exhausting." " Let me guess. You had a crush on this super hot straight guy and he turns out to be a jerk." I chuckle. " Accurate." " Guys are jerks, Ashton, seriously. I've had my own handful of jerks throughout freshman year and even sophomore. It sucks." The bell at the Café rings and two other guys enter. Lana turns to look at them. They're both good looking and hot. They walk to Jakob's booth as they sit down. Jakob shakes the two guys as they whisper something to Jakob. Jakob laughs. He's got a beautiful laugh. I can sit and listen to that all day. Lana sighs and turns to look at me. " You don't look okay. Did you date any of the two guys that just walked in?" I ask her. " Fooled around, maybe. His name is Carter. He's the shortest one amongst the three of them. Short black hair, flirtatious smirk, and an asshole." Lana says. I turn to look at them. The shortest one amongst the guys, which is Carter, is talking with the redhead girl with a flirtatious smirk on his lips. Is he flirting with Jakob's girl? My eyes shift to Jakob, he's talking with the other guy. Dark brown hair that's pretty long, he's super hot. Jakob turns to look at me at once. His speech paused half way as he glared at me disgustingly. Great, he's also a homophobe. The dark brown haired guy whom he's talking to follows his gaze and both guys are now staring at me. With Jakob giving me a death glare. Look away Ashton. Look the f**k away. " What you f*****g looking at fag?!" Jakob yells as he glares at me with that same disgusted look. Lana, including other customers in the Café who heard his outburst, including his redhead girlfriend and Carter, turns to look at me. I've never been that embarrassed in my life before. He's not just a jerk and an asshole, he's also a homophobe with an attitude. A disgusting one. Shit. This is not good. The last time I was called a fag was in highschool and I hate remembering the event. I was almost traumatized by the bullying. But I was strong and I overcame it. I don't respond to Jakob's hateful words as I turn away. Who does he even think he is? Who calls a guy fag in front of other people. " Yeah, right, look away fag. You disgusting piece of shit." I hear Jakob mutter. The customers in the Café begin to murmur and it's getting loud. " You wanna get out of here?" Lana asks. Yeah, right away. I stand up, not bothering to grab my paper coffee cup as I grab my bag. Lana does the same too. We walk out of the Café with Jakob's glare staring at my back. *** It's almost 10pm and my roommate is not yet back. I cooked dinner and ate as I went back to my bedroom to study. My mind keeps thinking about Jakob Pierce. He looked good-looking. Hot and pretty much great. But the minute he opened his mouth, he spoiled everything. Staring mindlessly at my book and going through today's lecture, I hear the front door open. My head jerks up at once, alerted. Maybe my roommate is back. Listening attentively, the front door shut and I heard shuffling. I should probably introduce myself before he freaks out that a stranger had invaded his privacy. Getting out of bed, I grab my t-shirt and put it on, with my fingers combing through my blonde curls. I walk out of my room and down the hall. He's in the living room I think. I walk into the living room and he's not here, probably in the kitchen then. I hear shuffling and a silent humming, and the light in the fridge illuminated the dark kitchen. I walk towards the dark kitchen as I stop by the doorway. " Hey, man." I greet and that seems to startle my roommate. " Shit." He closes the fridge at once. " Who the f**k are you?" That voice. Why does it sound familiar? I reach for the switch by the door and turn on the light. No way. No way in hell Jakob Pierce is in my house. No way in hell he is my roommate. This can't be happening.
