Recap:
"I didn't cheat, you dumbass. Why don't you just cry home to your stupid fucking daddy?"
Jack had enough. He shoved Evan; Evan flew across the pool table onto the ground.
"Don't EVER talk about my father, you stupid little dumbass fucker!" Jack yelled before walking off towards the dormitory.
Evan sighed. Would he and Jack EVER be able to get along?
Chapter 4: You Can't Stay Mad At the One You Love Forever…
Two weeks had passed since Evan and Jack's altercation at the pool table. Classes had started and Evan was sitting in Philosophy Class with Cody.
"He hasn't talked to me in two weeks, Cody. I thought we might be getting somewhere with this 'accepting each other as roommates' thing," Evan sighed.
"What exactly did you even do, Evan?" Cody asked, finishing his assignment with ease and handing it to the professor.
"Well, two weeks ago, I asked him to play pool with me and he accepted, so we played. I ended up winning, but he insisted that I cheated. I told him I didn't, but he continued to rant on how I cheated. So then I told him to go cry to his dad and he pushed me across the table and cursed me out. He hasn't said a word to me since."
"Maybe it was the dad part that got him all riled up," Cody said.
Evan shrugged. He hadn't thought of that…
"So how are ye n' yer roommate doing?" Drew McIntyre asked his best friend.
"I hate his guts," Jack responded, taking a bite of his burger.
"What could he have possibly done?" questioned Drew.
"He talked crap about my dad," Jack spat.
Drew instantly knew why Jack disliked his roommate. He'd known Jack since they were little kids, and he was the one Jack talked to about his dad. Jack didn't talk to anyone else about what happened to his dad, not even Drew and his other friends, David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd. Speaking of David and Tyson, the two took a seat at the lunch table.
"What's up dudes?" Tyson asked excitedly.
"I hate my roommate's guts," Jack slurred, drinking some soda from his cup.
"You two are so lucky," Drew said to DH and Tyson, "you two got to bunk th'gither while me and Jack get stuck wi' fools."
"Jack still doesn't like his roommate?" DH asked.
"Unfortunately, na he doesn't," Drew responded.
Jack sighed. He just wanted to be over with this day and go to his room and sleep. "I'm leaving," Jack said.
Drew was getting worried. He only wanted the best for his friend, and if his roommate kept it up, he'd probably have to pay him a little visit.
Evan and Kofi nearly vomited from walking in on Cody and Ted making out in the bathroom.
"I thought this was for excretory purposes," Kofi said. "Not…horny boys sex party part 3: In the Bathroom!"
"Real funny, Kofi," Ted said, releasing Cody's lips from his.
"Thank goodness that's over," Evan exclaimed, wiping his forehead playfully.
The four boys were interrupted by none other than Jack Swagger, who entered the bathroom with nothing less than a tired look on his face.
'Damn, he is so sexy,' Evan thought to himself, 'wait, I don't like this guy, do I?'
"Hey, Jack!" Evan shouted, trying to get Jack to talk to him. He was met with a slammed stall door.
"Wow, he hates you," Kofi whispered in his ear.
"I've noticed," Evan said sarcastically.
Jack flushed, quickly washed his hands and left, closing the bathroom door behind him and scurrying outside. Jack sat down under a tree and took a deep breath. He wanted to talk to Evan, honestly, he did, but something inside of him still resented him for the comment about his dad. Was he falling for the short brunette boy? Maybe he was.
'Wait, I do NOT like Evan,' Jack thought. Despite his trying to deny it, Jack was developing feelings for Evan. Ever since they started rooming together, he noticed how in shape Evan was, how cute he was when he smiled, the twinkle in his eyes…
Jack punched the tree behind him and stood up. Damn his feelings!
Evan walked across campus and was entering his dormitory. What a day it had been; he was extremely tired.
Unfortunately, he couldn't quite make it to his room because a certain "Awesome" jock blocked his way.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Air Bourne?"
Evan recognized the person instantly without even paying attention to his face. Mike Mizanin. Evan had horrible high school experiences with Mike, and he really didn't want to have to go through him right now.
"Get out of my way, Mike," Evan said, trying to pass by Mike.
Mike held Evan by the hair. "You're not going anywhere." Mike snapped his fingers, and instantly, Alex Riley and Zach Ryder appeared out of nowhere.
Evan stood back, ready to defend himself when he heard a familiar voice he hadn't heard in a while.
"Back off, Mike."
Jack stepped up and shielded Evan from harm's way. Mike prepared for a fight, but stepped back and told the others to do the same. "Sure, Jack, protect your boyfriend." Mike and the other jocks left.
Evan jumped in joy. "Thank you Jack!"
"Don't think to highly of it," Jack responded, retaining his serious look.
"Your voice! I almost forgot what it sounded like!" Evan shrieked before near-tackling Jack in a hug. Jack hesitated at first, but gave in. A smile wiggled its way across his face.
Evan was blushing wildly now that he realized what he had done. But he still hugged Jack; Jack felt so warm and comforting. He didn't want to let go. After a while, he looked up into Jack's eyes, who he noticed was doing the same to him. Evan thought he saw sparks fly, because both he and Jack leaned in for a kiss. They were less than an inch from each other's lips when they both separated instantly, finally coming to their senses of what almost happened.
"Um…we should probably get back to the room…" Evan suggested nervously.
"Uh-huh…" Jack stuttered. He followed Evan back to their room where they both silently entered and sat on their respective beds.
"Jack," Evan said, breaking the dreadful, awkward silence.
"Yeah," Jack responded.
"I'm sorry for what I said at the pool table…" Evan apologized. He truly did feel bad about it.
"I'm sorry for pushing you across the pool table," Jack replied.
"I deserved it," Evan sighed. "But why did it anger you so much?"
Jack's head popped up. He debated in his mind whether or not he should tell Evan; only Drew knew of it. But he decided to tell him, he felt he could trust Evan.
"My dad was shot and killed in a convenience store protecting me from a robber," Jack told Evan, who looked in pure shock. Evan felt immensely bad now that he knew.
"That's terrible!" Evan exclaimed. "No wonder you wanted to punch a hole in my head."
"I was only a kid, too, and me and him were really close…it was weird graduating from high school without him there," Jack opened up.
Evan sat up and took a seat beside Jack on his bed. "I'm really sorry Jack."
Jack smiled at Evan and ruffled his fist in Evan's hair. "It's nothing, really, it feels good to be talking to you again anyway."
"I agree," Evan beamed. "I agree."
Evan and Jack smiled at each other, both happy that the door to friendship was finally opening up for them both…and maybe the door to something else.
