Tough Boy~ Chapter 1

"Jeff, are you ready for school?" Jeff's mother EJ shouted from the kitchen, as Jeff packed his English homework in his bag.

"Yes! I'm coming now!" He shouted back, quickly throwing his bag over his left shoulder, and making his way to the kitchen.

"Mornin' sweetie" Jeff's other mother Sue said from the dining room table as she sipped her coffee. "Your flies down by the way." She said with a playful smile. Jeff blushed a little and fixed his zipper.

"Ok, are you ready?" EJ asked. Jeff nodded. "Alright, well, let's go." She said, and kissed her wife on the lips as a goodbye.

They made their way to his mothers car, and got in. Chit-chatting and radio tunes filled the air as they drove to Aberdale HighSchool. Jeff was a Sophomore this year, and he was enjoying school so far. He had high honor roll, and was in a cooking class with Sumo. They had invited Clarence to join but he happily declined saying, "I can cook, but I really don't feel like getting graded for burnt pancakes."

Speaking of Clarence, he had dropped some weight over the years, and was currently on the Wrestling team. He wanted Sumo to join him, but he had joined Swim team. Jeff wasn't very good at sports, so he joined Theatre as a stage manager.

EJ parked in front of the school, and kissed her son goodbye. Jeff was always early to school, so it was still a little dark outside. Usually Sumo joins him about ten minutes after he gets there, then they have a little alone time before Clarence shows up. Jeff always looked forward to his and Sumo's morning hang-outs. They can talk and Jeff can help Sumo with Homework, and Sumo can show Jeff some of his artwork, and he just likes it. He likes being near Sumo. Speaking of the devil, here he comes now.

Sumo had grown out his hair in middle school and kept it growing for a little while, then cut it again freshman year. Right now he had an undercut buzzed from the bottom and gown out a little at the front. He was wearing fake leather black skinny jeans, and a dark blue baggy-ish shirt. He had multiple piercings on both his ears, and one "secret" tattoo of a skull on his left shoulder blade. Jeff thought he looked very nice in his skinny pants, they stuck to him in all the right spots, and his shirt brought out his brown eyes well.

"Are you done checking me out?" Sumo asked with a playful smile. Jeff's eyes widened, he didn't even realize he was looking at him so intently. Jeff laughed it off, and rubbed his eyes. Sumo sat next to him, against the outer wall of the school.

"Sorry" Jeff said, with a smile. "I'm very tired."

"Nah, I think you think I'm super hot. Like, so unbelievably gorgeous that you have to fight the urge to keep your hands off me at all times." Sumo played. Jeff laughed.

"As if! Sumo I've known you since fourth grade, I've seen you in so many embarrassing scenes that even if I did want to touch you -which I don't- it would be to clean up your act."

"So what I'm hearing is... You want to make a movie with me about you cleaning me up?.. Frisky, I like it." He said, and wiggled his eyebrows. Jeff pushed his side.

"Goodness, you know that's not what I meant! Oh geez." He laughed. Sumo laughed as well.

"So hey, are you doing anything tonight?" Sumo asked.

"Not really, no." Jeff replied.

"Sweet, do you wanna spend the night tonight? My parents are takin' all the kids out to our grandmas farm and their lettin' me stay here."

"Is it just gonna be you and I?" Jeff asked.

"Yeah, I asked Clarence yesterday but he's going out with someone tonight."

"Oh who?"

"No idea. He wouldn't tell me. So do you wanna?" Sumo asked with a small smile. Jeff looked at his lips, for maybe half a second to long before replying.

"Uh- oh yeah! Yeah sure." He said. "I'll have to ask my moms but I'm sure they'll be ok with it."

"Yes!" Sumo exclaimed, fist pumping the air. "Oh, and here comes Clarence!"
