Summary: Evan is one of the most talented kids in his school, but nobody sees that, except for Randy. But when Evan comes out, how will Randy react. What'll happen between these two?
A/N: Hey guys! So, I decided to write a story, loosely based off my life. Everything factual about Evan is all true about me except for my age. Also some events are true too. But most of this is fiction and is loosely based on my life. Also is partially based on a movie, "Were the World Mine." Also this I'm trying out a different writing style. So, read on!
Evan's POV
The bell rang, the incessant ringing bounced off the tiled hallways and diffracted into every classroom. Moments later, the sounds of students chatting, lockers opening and closing, and shoes scuffing the ground were heard.
"Okay class, you're dismissed." Mr. Lawler said, looking up from his stack of homework.
Everyone got up except for me. I stayed in my seat and jotted down tonight's homework. I decided a long time ago that it was futile for me to navigate my way through wave upon wave of kids at my school. Too many people taller than me. Just as the last person left, I packed up my things in my messenger bag and left too.
So…where do I begin. I think I should start with my name. Hi, my name is Evan Bourne. God that sounded cooler in my head. It doesn't matter I guess. I'm a sophomore here in St. Louis. I'm 16 years old. I'm an all 'A' student with a 5.0 GPA. I take a lot of extra curricular and AP classes so they get my GPA way up. So I'm a nerd.
I play football, basketball, wrestling and soccer. Three sports for all three seasons but wrestling I'm in all year round. So I'm a jock that is also a nerd. Surprisingly I don't have many friends even though I'm in almost 10 clubs and groups. Drama, choir, band, anything artistic really.
I'm one of those kids who just stand out and drift between groups. Like one day I'm with the popular kids, then I with the jocks, then the nerds, then the outcast, and so on. Everyday, its like I'm able to "read" who people are. I'm not being prejudice here, it's just that, I already know.
My school is one of those kind of schools where a lot of people are prejudice. Thankfully, I'm not picked on too often because nobody has any real beef with me. Plus, last guy who did ended up with a broken leg. It wasn't my fault he tripped down the steps by the entrance, he let go when I tried helping him up after I kicked him in the face.
So here's the part where some readers might turn away from. I'm Bi. *cringes.* Huh, I expected more hate, but yay! I'm not out fo the closest yet though.
And of course, I have a huge crush on some guy. His name is Randy Orton. If his last name sounds familiar, it should. His dad is "Cowboy" Bob Orton.
Also, Randy is probably the most popular guy in the entire high school. He intrigues me. Randy may be the most popular kid in school, but, there's something more to him than meets the eye. And for some reason, that mysteriousness has caused me to fall in love with him. Although, his looks aren't half bad either. Who am I kidding, the man is a god!
So, that's all you need to know about me at the moment. So… back to the story.
By the time I was walking towards my locker, most of the students were either already off to their next class and/or on their way to their next class. I unloaded my history stuff and left my bag in my locker. My next class was choir/drama so I only needed to bring my set list of songs.
I got out my portfolio with my songs and started humming the lyrics to a song. Today was solo day and I was remembering where I should really emphasize the emotion in the song. I'm a very deep person so this was easy to do. I flip to the page where my piece was and hummed over it again while walking down the hallway.
I would have plenty enough time because the hallways here are as long as football fields. It seems like a reasonable size for a building that needs to fit more than 10,000 teenagers. The choir/drama classes were in the concert that was just down the long hall and across from the cafeteria.
In the midst of my reading, my ears perk up to a very deep and sexy voice. I look up for a split second and spot him, Randy. He was surrounded by his usual posse. John, who was equally as popular as Randy but acted like a black guy sometimes. Then there was Mike who was a major bully and jock and Riley, who was Mike's bitch. The two were the
I decided to keep my head down, waving my right hand in the air to keep my tempo and my left to hold open my folio. In my mind I kept telling myself, "Play it cool. Act like you don't notice them. Just sing and you'll be fine!"
Just as I passed by the popular group I was singing the chorus, Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. "We'll ca-a-rry o-on. We'll ca-a-rry o-o-on! And whe-en you…" I sang as I briskly walked away, feeling achieved that I wasn't noticed. I walked around the corner of the long hallway.
"Hey Evan!" A voice called out. "Shit!" I thought. I turn around slowly. I was shocked to see Randy run back to me holding a paper in his hand.
"Ms. Stratus asked me to deliver this to you." Randy grinned as I took the paper, "It's about the school play coming this Spring, 'A Mid-Summer Night's Dream'. She was hoping for you to audition for the role of Puck."
I made a mental note to complain to Ms. Stratus later in class. She's the only teacher I've come out to and knows about my little crush on Randy. I wiped away the thought and realization hit me.
Randy was looking at me.
I blushed when he look at me with those piercing icy blue eyes. I struggled out the next sentence, "I-I, um, thanks Randy…" I bit the bottom of my lip trying to find something to say, "I think you should audition too." I mentally slapped myself. Why did I say that?
Randy raised an eyebrow, "You think? I don't know who'd I'd play, but sure, I'll audition. Might be fun." Randy shrugged. Randy looked at me right in the eyes. My heart literally skipped a beat. I was so nervous. Right when Randy was about to say something,
Just then the bell rang. "THANK GOD!" I screamed in my mind.
"Oh, well, I got to get to class. See you around I guess." Randy smiled, before turning away. I grinned and nodded. God I must've looked stupid. I looked down at the ground and walked away.
"Oh wait Evan!" Randy yelled. I turn around with a confused look on my face.
"Yeah?" I respond.
"I'd really like to hear you sing some time. I think you're really good!" Randy complimented. I heart stopped right there. A shock went up my spine and bliss exploded my brain.
I smiled a toothy grin, "Thanks," was all I could muster up to respond. Then he was gone. I turned around and looked forward. The world suddenly seemed….brighter, and i walked off to my next class.

A/N:So thats the first first chapter. I'll be updating more often since these chapters are like 1500 to 3000 words. It'll also be easier on my social life cuz football practice starts again next week. And the county fair is in town! ALPEN FEST! STOP BY SOMETIME! I'll be hanging around. Look for a shirt that says, "Trust Me I'm A Ninja" or a Domu Shirt with glasses. XD!
PLEASE REVIEW! DO IT FOR THE PUPPIES!
