Chapter 3 School

A/N Okay here is another chapter. Sorry for the late update I have been having writers block. Hope you enjoy!

Evan's POV

It was Monday morning and I was getting ready for school. I was starting to become nervous. I walked downstairs

"Evan breakfast is in the dinning room." Hunter told me. The dinning room table had cereal, eggs, bacon and pieces of toast. I grabbed some honey nut cheerios and poured me some orange juice. I quietly started to eat my cereal. Hunter was reading the newspaper and eating cereal. Shawn was eating from his plate of eggs and bacon. I wondered where Randy was. I didn't have to think for long because he walked into the dinning room and served himself some food.

"Randy do you think Evan can tag along with you to school?" Shawn asked. I knew that Randy had his own car and drove to school every morning.

"It's okay I don't mind taking the bus." I said. I didn't want to get in Randy's way.

"No." Randy quickly said. "I mean I don't mind Evan tagging along." Randy finished saying.

"Okay, well both of you finish up with your breakfast; you have ten minutes before you have to leave." Shawn said. I quickly finished my food and grabbed my bag. I really just wanted to stay home today.

"Here take this for lunch." Hunter said handing me some money.

"Thanks, I'll see you after school." I said.

"Shawn will be here when you get out of school but I won't be home till a couple of hours later." Hunter said.

"Okay." I said. I saw Randy walking to his car. I walked out to Randy's car. Randy opened his car door and I did the same with mine.

"The school is not that far away from here." Randy said. I nodded. I hope for a longer car ride than it actually was because I needed to calm myself down.

Randy pulled into the high school parking lot and got out of his car. I followed him and we walked up to the high school.

The high school was huge. I followed Randy into the school building.

"You have to go to the school office to get your schedule." Randy told me. I didn't know where the office was.

"I can show you where the office is." Randy said.

In the office Randy told the secretary that I was a new student and she immediately handed me my schedule and warned me not to be late for my classes.

"I'll take you to your first class." Randy said. Randy dropped me off at my first class which was English.

"Don't be scared to ask anyone here where your classes are." Randy said before walking away.

Morning classes were going okay. I didn't really talk to anyone except this boy who wouldn't shut up during class. He was nice though. I had two classes with him so far. He had colorful dyed shoulder length hair. His name was Jeff. I walked into my history class, it was right before lunch.

"Hey Evan." I looked up to see Jeff standing next to me. Make it three classes.

"Hey Jeff." I said. I opened my note book, getting ready to take notes

"Don't worry about taking notes, this teacher doesn't really talk. He mostly makes us do work in our text book." Jeff told me.

I looked in my bag but couldn't find a history text book.

"The teacher will give you one if you ask." Jeff said. I nodded. I hated having to walk up in front of the class to talk to the teacher. The teacher walked into the room and I sighed.

"I'll get it for you." Jeff suddenly said. Jeff walked up to the teacher, talked and pointed to me. I looked down at my desk. I saw a text book drop on my desk.

"Thanks." I said. Jeff shrugged and the teacher started talking.

The cafeteria was crowded. I didn't know where I was supposed to sit. I took a look around and was walking slowly when I bumped into someone.

"Hey, you okay?" I was asked. I looked up and saw a boy looking down at me. He looked a little older than I was. He wore a baseball hat and had blue eyes.

"Yea I'm okay." I said.

"You look lost." the boy said.

"I guess I am. I'm new here so I don't really know what to do." I admitted.

"Oh well your in the cafeteria so I guess for starters you can get some lunch." the boy said with a smile.

I smiled "Yea that makes sense." I said.

"I'm John." the boy said.

"I'm Evan." I said. John nodded but then his eyes widened

"Your Evan? Do you know Randy?" John asked.

I nodded "Yea he's my brother." I said.

"Yea I know. Randy is my friend. He told me about you." John told me.

"Okay." I said.

"Come on Randy has the same lunch, you can sit with us." John said and started to walk towards a table. I saw Randy sitting there and a few other boys were with him.

"Hey Randy, look who I found walking around." John said.

Randy looked up and his eyes fell on me.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" I asked. I was afraid Randy was going to say no.

"It's not a problem, go get some lunch." Randy said. I followed John to the lunch line.

"So how do you like the school so far?" John asked me.

"I like it, but its kinda big." I said.

"You get use to the size don't worry." John said smiling at me.

I couldn't help but think John's smile was cute. I didn't know why I was thinking like that. I went to pay for my lunch that was on my tray but John stopped me.

"It's okay, I got it this time." John said giving the lady some money. We walked back to the table. I sat next to John who was sitting next to Randy. I looked at the food on my tray which was tacos.

"The food here is pretty good." John told me. I looked up at him then to Randy who nodded. I took a bite of the taco and John was right, it was pretty good. I finished eating my lunch and watched as Randy and John talked to their friends. I didn't want to interfere in their conversations. I was just happy that I had somewhere to sit.

John's POV

Damn Randy's adopted brother was cute. It took all that I had in me not to start flirting with him at lunch. I had to take it easy because Evan was a year younger than me but also Randy told me he was shy and wasn't sure if he swung that way. I offered to pay for Evans lunch in hopes he would think I was friendly enough to talk to me. I don't think it worked all that well, Evan was silent at lunch. I tried again to talk to him when he was lost after lunch and couldn't find his class. All he said was thank you for showing him where his class was. I was now on my way to my class. I walked in just in time before the bell rang.

"Where have you been?" Randy asked me. We were both in the same class. I sat down in the seat next to his.

"Evan was lost so I showed him where his class was." I told him.

"What's going on with you and Evan?" Randy asked.

"Nothing, I didn't want him to be late so I helped him out." I said.

"I saw you paying for his lunch and you were staring at him all through lunch." Randy said.

"I was being friendly." I said. Randy raised an eyebrow, not really believing me.

"Okay I'm not going to lie, Evan is cute. I want him to know I was interested." I truthfully told Randy.

"John just be careful. I don't know Evan and I don't even know if he likes boys." Randy said.

I nodded "I know, I'm going to start by becoming his friend and then maybe he will start to like me as more than friends." I told Randy.

"It sounds like you have this all planned out." said Randy.

"Yea I had a lot of time to think over lunch." I said laughing. Randy shook his head and we both turned to listen to the teacher.

I had another chance to see Evan after school ended. He was waiting by Randy's car which happened to be right next to mine.

"Hey Evan," I said.
"Hey John." Evan said.

"I'll call you later." Randy told me.

"Okay, too bad I cant come over for a little bit." I said looking over at Evan who was still standing by the car.

"See if you can come by later." Randy said. He unlocked the car and before I could say bye to Evan he was already in the car. I walked over to my car and drove home.

I got home and saw one of my dad's cars in the driveway. My family was just like Randy's. I had two dads except I wasn't adopted when I was older; I was adopted when I was an infant. I went inside and to my dad's office. I smiled when I saw him working on some paper work.

"Hey dad, your home early." I said.

"I decided to come home early and do some paper work, your papa has been complaining that I have been staying too late at the office." dad told me. I laughed, he was right papa was always complaining that dad did so much work.

"Go do your homework. After dinner me and your papa need to talk to you about something." dad said.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked worried.

My dad shook his head and walked over to me "No John, unless there's something you want to tell me?" dad asked. I was always getting into some kind of trouble whether it was by my self or with Randy. That is why I was currently on punishment of coming straight home from school and doing my homework before anything else.

"No." I said. My dad patted my shoulder.

"Okay then go get your homework done and straightened your room up." he told me. I walked up to my room and started to think about what my parents could want to talk to me about.

I didn't have to wait long for dinner to come around. By the time I finished my homework and cleaning my room papa was calling me downstairs for dinner.

"How was school today?" Papa asked me.

"It was okay. I got to meet Randy's new brother Evan." I told them. They knew about the adoption because they were friends with Randy's dads.

"How did he like his first day at school?" dad asked me.

"I guess he liked it. He doesn't talk that much. I helped him out at lunch and to get to one of his classes." I said. I left out that I thought Evan was cute. I didn't know how they would respond to that.

"It was nice of you to help Evan. It must be hard to have to go to a high school and have never been to a real one before." dad said. Dad was right, maybe that's why Evan was being so shy. He didn't know how to act around high school kids. My mind went away from Evan and wanting to know what my parents needed to talk to me about.

"Papa dad said you two needed to tell me something." I said.

"Yes we need to talk to you about a few things." papa told me.

"Finish dinner and we will talk in the living room." dad said.

We finished eating and I helped to clean the dishes.

Once we were in the living room, I was sitting on the couch next to dad and papa was sitting in his arm chair. I looked at both of them waiting for one of them to talk.

"John your dad and I have been talking and we are thinking about adopting again." Papa told me. I smiled, I liked the sound of having someone else in the house. I was my dads only child and they didn't want to adopt another one because they wanted to give me all their attention.

"We have been thinking about adopting someone close to your age. Adopting another baby will be too much for us to handle and we think it might be easier if we adopted closer to your age." dad told me.

"How do you feel about this?" papa asked.

"I'm okay with it. Do you have someone in mind yet?" I asked them. I think my parents were in shock but finally dad shook his head.

"No, like we said we are just thinking and talking it over but if we do decide to adopt then it will be from the place where Evan used to live." my dad said.

"Okay I think it's a good idea." I said.

"John you taking this too easy. Are you sure your okay with this?" papa asked.

I smiled "Yea I was actually wondering if your guys were ever going to adopt again. I don't mind being an older brother." I said.

"Okay, we are happy to hear that and we will let you know of our decision hopefully soon." dad told me. Dad hugged me and I walked over to papa to hug him.

"Can I go over to Randy's for a little bit?" I asked.

"Yea just be back before eleven you have school tomorrow." dad told me.

"Make it ten." papa said. I shook my head, they could never agree on anything. I grabbed my keys and messaged Randy telling him I was on my way to his house.

Randy's POV

I walked into the living room to see both my dads talking with their two friends Adam and Christian. They were laughing about something.

"Hey sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to let you know that John is coming over." I told them. Papa nodded but dad frowned.

"Randy you know you're supposed to ask first especially if it's after dinner." dad told me.

"Sorry but he really wants to come over. I won't do it again." I said to him.

"Okay but next time ask us before telling John its okay to come over." papa told me.

"I wonder if our child is going to give us trouble?" Adam said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Adam and Christian decided that they want to adopt." dad said to me.

"Are you kidding? You two taking care of someone. I find that hard to believe." I said laughing.

"Randy that was rude to say, apologize to them." papa said starting to get angry.

"I'm sorry for what I said. I just find it hard to believe that you guys are going to be parents but good luck to you." I told them.

Adam and Christian were like uncles to me and they were not that strict. I remember when they used to watch over me if my parents were out of town. I pretty much did what ever I wanted. Before anything else was said the door bell rang. Saved by the bell. I walked over to the door to let John in. John said a quick hello then I dragged him upstairs to my room.

"So what's up?" John asked sitting on my bed.

"Adam and Christian decided they want to adopt." I told him.

"Really it must me something in the air because my dads are thinking about adopting someone too. They are thinking about adopting from the same place Evan used to live." John said.

"Is it going to be a kid or what?" I asked.

"They want to adopt someone around my age. They can't handle a kid at their age." John said laughing.

I laughed "That's true."

"So what is Evan up to?" John asked.

I glared at John "Is that why you wanted to come over so you can find out what Evan was doing?" I asked.

"Chill Rand, I was just asking." John said. I sat next to John

"He's in his room, he's been there since we came home and after dinner." I told John.

"Really? Maybe you should see if he's okay. He's probably still nervous about living here." John said. Nervous was an understatement, Evan was more like a scared little puppy. I guess I should go see if he was okay.

"You wanna come with me and check on him?" I asked.

John grinned and walked out my room. I walked up to Evan's door and knocked. A few second later Evan opened the door.

"Hey Evan, what are you up to?" John asked. John was standing in front of the door and was blocking me from Evan.

"Huh nothing just reading." Evan said softly. I could barely hear what he was saying. I pushed John out the way so I could see Evan better.

"Do you want to come with me and John and hang in the game room?" I asked. Evan hasn't been in that room since I showed him the room when he first got here.

"Okay." Evan said and walked out of his room. We walked up to the game room

"You can pick out the game we can play." I said. I watched as Evan walked towards the video games and pulled out one of the grand theft auto ones. Both John and I nodded and grabbed controllers. Evan was a good player, better than me. There was no talking while playing.

"Do you want a snack or something?" I finally asked Evan and John. John nodded and Evan looked down. I rolled my eyes "I will be right back with snacks." I said.

I walked down to the kitchen and papa was eating some ice cream.

"Papa I think there's something wrong with Evan?" I said.

"Why do you say that?" Papa asked.

"He's always in his room and he hardly talks." I told him.

"Randy that's normal behavior for Evan. Do you remember how you were when we first adopted you?" papa asked.

I nodded, I did "Yea but I was lucky to meet John at school." I said.

"Okay well we need to give Evan some time, maybe he will make a friend at school." papa told me.

"Okay. I'm taking some snacks up to the game room. Me, John and Evan are hanging in there." I said.

"Okay but don't make it too late." papa said. I grabbed a bag of chips and three cans of soda.

I went back into the game room and saw John and Evan laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked. They stopped laughing and Evan looked away.

"Nothing just telling Evan some jokes." John told me.

"Oh okay." I said. It was nice to see Evan laughing with John but I wasn't surprised that John was the one to make him laugh.

"Lets finish this game." I told them. I was going to listen to papas advice and let Evan adjust on his own.

Okay like it or not please review!

A/N okay I hope everyone that reads this chapter likes it. Now I want to know if anyone can guess who John's two dads are? Who is going to be Adam and Christians new child? Are John's dads going to decide to adopt and who are they going to adopt? So many questions!
