Chapter One - He's Coming Back
Josh sat by himself at the back in Mr. Clarkson's lesson. He wasn't listening to whatever his dad was saying but was pretending to pay attention so he wouldn't get asked a question he didn't know the answer to.
He was daydreaming about Nate again, just the thought of him had his heart thumping in his chest. Nate had left after his dad pulled him out of the school, but they'd kept in touch and the sooner Josh could get back on his phone the better.
The bell rang, and Josh got up, almost reluctantly, it was lunchtime now and his dad didn't seem to be going anywhere. He sat back down and pulled his phone out of his pocket, starting to write a text he could send to Nate.
"Josh, what are you doing back there?" Tom asked, wondering why his son hadn't left the class yet. Josh didn't reply, instead he smiled as he stared at his phone, and Tom guessed he was probably texting another boyfriend.
"Were you on that during my lesson?" Tom asked.
Josh looked up, "what?"
"I said, were you on your phone during my lesson?"
"What?- No dad!" Josh replied.
"Just checking, who are you texting anyway?"
"I'm texting-" Josh froze, his eyes moved over the writing on his phone again, and again, and again.
"Josh?" Tom said, obviously confused.
"Oh. My. God." Josh whispered.
"What?"
Josh grinned, read the message again and then looked up at his dad. "Nate's coming back." He told him.
