When Teddy came back to the lunchroom he couldn't spot Vern anywhere. He grew panicked but then calmed when he saw Vern holding a red tray, exiting the lunch line. Teddy kept his eyes locked on the other boy, feeling regret for being so mean. Vern then looked over to where Teddy was standing. Vern's eyes locked on Teddy's and Vern rolled his eyes and turned down another direction, shaking his head. Fine, Teddy thought. Let him be a douche then. He stomped back to where his lunch remained, plopped down next to Gordie, and ate his lunch in silence.

"Everything okay, Teddy?" Chris began after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Fucking terrific," Teddy mumbled in response. Gordie and Chris stared at each other for a moment before slowly turning their attention back to their hamburgers. They didn't want to get their heads bit off by Teddy. It was best to just shut up and forget about it when it came to Teddy.

"Hey, Teddy…wanna walk home with me, Chris, and Vern?" Gordie questioned, placing an arm around Teddy.

"I-I don't know."

"Awh, come on!" Gordie pleaded. "We never get to walk home all together anymore!" Teddy sighed because Gordie was right. They never did walk home anymore; they usually had rides or just rode on the bus like everyone else. But Teddy didn't really want to deal with Vern. Who was he to say that Teddy was some queer? If anyone was gay, obviously it was Vern! He could just ignore him and all his bullshit, though. Gordie and Chris would be there, right?

"Fine," Teddy finally responded. "I'll be out front…come and get me when you're ready to leave."

"Alright, man, be there in a few minutes," Gordie said and rushed off in another direction. Teddy exited the school and found a giant rock to sit on, while he waited.

Chris was the first to arrive and sat down in the grass in front of Teddy. There had always been an odd bit of tension between Chris and Teddy, it wasn't anything serious but every now and then it would show it's ugly head. They sat in silence until Gordie slowly appeared, looking pissed off.

"Hey, Gord-o…what's wrong?" Teddy called out.

"Vern's blowing us off…" Gordie stated.

"What the hell, man?" Chris yelled out into the air. Gordie just shrugged and shook hid head. Teddy didn't want to say anything but he was slightly relieved he wasn't going to be showing up.

"Fuck face," Teddy scoffed as they began their way home.

Teddy scratches his head and pushed his glasses back onto his face. He stared hard into the math book and squinted. When the hell would he ever use math later in life? He couldn't do shit without Vern's help. He slammed the book, threw it across the room, and screamed, "FUCK THIS! I'd rather be thrown into the retard class than do that load of crap!" He removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes, which had a few drops of water in them. He was so upset. He couldn't do any of this without help. If only Vern hadn't messed everything up. Teddy groaned and fell onto his back, kicking his backpack so he was able to extend his legs. He sighed loudly and covered his face with his arms. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"What?" Teddy grumbled. The door opened and in stepped his mother.

"May I come in, honey?" she asked, calmly.

"Fine." She entered and sat down on Teddy's bed, studying the books scattered across the floor.

"Oh, are you doing homework? I'm bothering you, aren't I?" Teddy shook his head and sat up.

"No, I can't do any of it anyway so you're not really bothering me…" Teddy answered.

"But weren't you having help with homework…it was with Vern, right?"

"Not anymore."

"What happened?"

"It's too complicated, Mom," Teddy sighed.

"Oh, okay, well I just came in here to tell you I'm going out with a few friends tonight and won't be back 'til late so help yourself to dinner." His mother explained, standing and kissing the top of his head.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye, sweetheart." Teddy's mom then Teddy's room and he fell back down on his back. Fuck homework, Teddy thought, closing his eyes and eventually falling asleep.

Vern entered Teddy's room and laid a hand on his neck, sitting down beside him, grinning big. He then pressed his lips to Teddy's. Vern's lips felt warm against his and he felt Vern's tongue slide against Teddy's lower lip before Teddy let it inside his mouth. It felt really good Teddy didn't want to stop. Teddy felt Vern's hand traveling down to his waist and forward to his belt buckle. Vern began to loosen Teddy's belt and pulled it off, yanking down Teddy's pants, revealing his underwear. Vern smiled against Teddy's mouth as Vern's hand moved up his thigh, slowly making it's way to his—

Teddy opened his eyes quickly and looked straight up to the ceiling. It was dark and he was still on the ground. He felt an odd sensation in his pants, a tightening around his crotch. He looked down to see a large lump in his pants. No fucking way. I did not just get a hard-on from a dream about Vern. Teddy closed his eyes and laid his head back down, exhaling loudly. The creepy thing was, Teddy wasn't going to lie and say he hated it. He enjoyed it actually. But this couldn't be. He couldn't be gay for his best friend, could he?
