Chapter 1
Jeff lay on his bed reading The Hunger Games; it was the second day of the summer holidays and he just wanted to relax. But David, Jeff's best friend who was rolling around on the floor moaning about being bored, had other ideas.
"Jeff, please can we go out?" David whined, throwing his shoe at Jeff,
"You just have to wait until tonight, when all the mums come round here!" Jeff said, throwing David's shoe back at him.
"Fine," David huffed and got off the floor to find something to do.
Jeff's mum was part of a group of high classed stay at home mums, they called themselves The Eternity, which Jeff thought sounded like some cult. But Jeff's mum assured him that it just meant how all the women in the group would stay the same in many ways. The Eternity was a hard group to get into, you had to be rich enough and the women's husbands had to be important.
Jeff liked the group because whenever the women came to a social gathering or went to a social gathering he always got to see his friends. All the boys where home schooled because the parents where rich enough to higher private tutors and they believed it was the best way for their children to learn. Jeff was also home schooled, so the mums social gatherings meant he got to meet other children around his age.
David, Wes, Thad, Trent, Blaine, Kurt, Flint and Aaron where Jeff's closest friends, they all liked to hang out together whenever they could. They also had a large tree house in David's back garden where they would all sing together, as a group they called themselves the Warblers. All of them were gay except Flint, Aaron and Wes, that's how they all kind of found each other. Jeff and David's mum had been in the group since the beginning, and whenever a new member was brought into the group they would have to introduce who they and their family were. That would usually be when they found if a boy was gay and if they were they, would be accepted into the Warblers, which Jeff and David started by creating a group they could all be a part of.
"DAVID!" Jeff's mum shouted up the stairs, "Your mum wants you to go home and get changed, for tonight."
"OK!" David shouted down the stairs, turning to Jeff. "Argh, now I have to walk all the way home!"
"Dude you live next door to me!" Jeff said, rolling his eyes.
"Whatever," David mumbled, getting off the floor from where he was playing one of Jeff's video games. "See you later."
"Bye," Jeff said, waving at David, he then carried on reading the Hunger Games, and he was almost finished when his mum called up the stairs that it was time for him to get ready. Jeff put on a blue plaid shirt and a pair of skinny jeans and went down stairs. Finding David and his mum in the kitchen.
"Long time no see," Jeff said to David as he walked into the kitchen.
"Oh, haha, you are so funny," David said rolling his eyes. David and Jeff chatted for a little while, and as more and more guests started to arrive and when all the Warblers got there, they all managed to sneak off to Jeff's room instead of talking to all the other guests.
"Have you seen the new family who have moved across the street to us?" David asked Jeff, and the other Warblers listened.
"Nope," Jeff said.
"Well they are going to be invited to this… social gathering," David said. None of the Warblers knew what to call these things their mums met up at, but they didn't care as long as they got to see each other. "But when I got here they were still getting their stuff out of the moving van so they are probably still doing it now."
"I have an idea!" Kurt said, who was sitting with his head on Blaine's shoulder. Jeff was jealous that they had found each other and were in love. But he was also happy for them, and even though there where three other gay guys in their group he could never see them as being anything more than his friends.
"Well what is it?" Wes asked.
"I think we should go see who they are," Kurt said.
"That's just a better way of saying we should spy on them," Flint stated, Kurt simply hummed some sort of response.
"We might as well," Thad said, and the nine Warblers got up and went downstairs, when they got there they realised they didn't have a clue how they where going to spy on the new neighbours. Just as Wes went to say something, Jeff's mum came round the corner as if she was looking for something or someone and Jeff quickly got everyone out the front door. Thankfully Jeff's mum didn't see them.
"Well so much for spying," David said gesturing to the house directly opposite them where a women was taking a box out of the moving van, then a little girl appeared at the front door and took the box off of the women who was her mum because she called her it.
"We could always offer them help," Trent said. "It doesn't look like they actually hired anybody to help them with their stuff." A boy with short brown hair, skinny jeans and a loose t-shirt with a band name on the front came to take a box from the van, as the boy picked up the box, the bottom gave out and the condense which happened to be DVDs and CDs spilled out on to the floor. The boy swore loudly and dropped to the ground to pick them up.
"Maybe we should help," Jeff said, and the nine boys walked over the road just as the mum came out of the house.
