Ray sighed as his school books fell to the floor, some hitting his toes first, as he opened his silver locker door. He really needed to organize.
Oh well.
He bent down and began to pick up his books as he noticed a hand hold one under his nose to take. He looked up to see the owner of the hand using his free arm to hold the other more recently gathered books. This person had blood red oddly shaped hair that flew up like wings. If he'd ever ever seen this person before, he definitely would have remember him, but it didn't ring any bells. New boy.
The boy looked up and met Ray's staring eyes. The redhead grinned. " Uh, thanks," said Ray. The other boy nodded. " I'm Ray, by the way," said Ray, standing straight and sticking out his hand. The other boy stood and brushed off his knee caps before completely straightening and grasped the neko-jin's hand in his own. "Yu-, er, Tala. Tala Valkov."
Ray took his time to quickly run his eyes over Tala. He wore a tight black shirt and baggy faded blue jeans that if they hadn't been held up by the rainbow studded belt would have easily slipped off that slim waist, but they still were worn low thus showing much of his hip bones and the bottoms covered much of his black Vans. Also on his shirt were rainbow stripes going around his sleeves.
The two boys looked as a large group mixed with boys and girls walked passed, whispering to each other as they saw Tala's wardrobe choice. Tala watched them walk passed before turning to Ray again.
"I'm guessing there's not many people like me around here?" asked Tala. "What?" asked Ray, though he'd already guessed what it was. "Gay." "Oh...No, no there's not. Well, there may be, but they're not out of the closet quite yet." "I see."
Tala looked down both ways of the hall and then at his schedule which had been recently pulled from his pocket. "Um, you wouldn't mind helping me, uh, would you? I mean you don't have to..." "What? No, I don't mind at all!" Ray laughed nervously and took the schedule gently from the other's hands.
None of his other friends swung that way. Ray wasn't sure how to act. What if he was...looking, staring at him? Would he flirt with him? Was he going to try to pick him up? Oh God, what if he tried to rape him...
"Ray!"
Ray whipped his head around to see his friend Tyson standing there, grinning at him. "Hey, Ty. What's up?" asked the black haired teen.
Ray then noticed a slightly shorter, older teen standing behind Tyson. "Hello, Kai." The teen nodded his head at the neko before turning his head to Tala and looking him up and down, analyzing him. Blue met crimson and the two began an intense staring contest as Tala became curious of the eyes he'd felt on him.
"Oh, introductions! Tala, this is Tyson, and this is Kai. Tyson, Kai, this is Tala."
Tala smiled and nodded at them.
Ray gulped suddenly and silently. What if Tala fell for one of his best friends...
This Is How I Disappear: This chapter sucked because, like mose first chapters, I just wanted it to be over with so I could get to the interesting stuff.
