part 1
Boyd pushed the rubbish bin down his driveway, and placed it neatly on the nature strip. From a distance he could hear a familiar laugh. He scanned the court until his eyes met with Dylan and Sky, hand in hand, sitting on the hood of Dylan's car. He watched for a little while, noticing at how happy they looked, he knew that Sky had feelings for Dylan, but never realised that they were dating. He continued to watch the couple until Dylan leaned in for a kiss with Sky. It hurt to see his first serious girlfriend kissing another man. Stunned, he turned away and continued to walk up the driveway. He clenched his fists, bit his lip, and tried to dismiss the feelings that were consuming him.
Angry and frustrated, Boyd stormed into his bedroom and slammed the door. He collapsed on his bed, and lay there, staring at the ceiling. He couldn't understand why he had felt so bad when he saw Sky and Dylan together. 'Jealously?' he thought to himself. Boyd was confused, after all it was he who broke up with Sky, not the other way around. He became angry with himself, angry at the thoughts that clouded his mind. He had to get of the house, and quickly. "Where you going mate?" Called max from the kitchen. "I'm just going to sky's house" Boyd called back, "I won't be long."
Boyd noticed Ginae riding her bicycle in the court. He try to avoid her, but his attempt to do so failed. "Hey wait up!" Ginae called from behind. "Haven't seen you in a while." She exclaimed. "Well, I've been pretty busy, you know, school and family stuff." Boyd explained. "Well if you're ever free, we should try and catch up some time." Boyd tried to avoid the conversation, talking to Ginae always seemed to make him feel uncomfortable, there was no mistaking she had feeligns for him. "Look, I promise I won't try to crack onto or nothing, common just like old times." Ginae seemed hopeful, but Boyd had better things on his mind. "Look Ginae, I got to go." Boyd ran off and headed towards Sky's driveway. Ginae watched as he advanced towards the Bishop home, she knew exactly who he was going to see.
Boyd knocked on the front door. The door opened, and he was greeted with a confused Sky. "Boyd...Never thought I'd see you here." Sky didn't seem too pleased to see him, and Boyd began to feel as if he was chocking on his words. "Do you think we could talk or something, maybe we could go grab a drink or somthing...its just we haven't seen each other in a long time and I just thought..." Sky interrupted him. "Actually I'm pretty busy." At that moment, Dylan approached Sky from behind, and placed his arm around her waist. "Hey Boyd-sta, what do you want?" asked Dylan sarcastically. Sky turned towards her boyfriend, "Hey Dyl, can you give us a minute?" Dylan gave Boyd a look which made him feel very uncomfortable, but Boyd didn't seem to mind, at last he could have a minute alone with Sky. Sky closed the door behind her, and walked out onto the veranda with Boyd. She paused for a minute. "Alright...Tomorrow after school, I have to help grandad out at the store, so you can meet me there." Sky didn't seem too pleased with the idea, but Boyd of course didn't mind. He was going to see Sky again, and Dylan would be no where in sight.
