High School Time Period

This relates to the College Series story, so you gotta read it!

Jeff turned upside down on the couch listening to Belson go on about how sucky high school is. The blockhead was bored and somewhat lonely, his main distraction had left him for a few weeks.

"Aye, Jeff, you okay there?" Belson asked seeing the blockhead wasn't paying attention to him anymore. A thought passed through his head like lightning,"Awww is Jeff sad that his baby left him?"

Jeff quickly got up from his position to look Belson straight in the face. "Sumo is not my baby! We're not even a couple!"

Belson had that creepy side smile back on his face. "Come on, you know you and Sumo have a thing!"

Jeff pulled his legs up to his chest while seating on the end of the couch. "No we don't. Sumo does like me but I told him no." Regret had punch him dead in his stomach.

Belsons smile faded. "Jeff, man, why?" it was awkward to say the least but his best friend needed to be real with him. "Dude, I know it takes you time for change..." the blockheads heart lingered for Sumo to come back.

"Its only gonna be for a few weeks! He'll be back and you guys can chat it up!" Belson tried to reassure his smart friend.

Jeff pulled his legs closer,"I miss him so much..."

It had only been few days and if Sumos leaving took this much toll on the boy, Belson would hate seeing if Sumo moved to another town. The larger boy moved over patting Jeff on the back awkwardly. "Woo,woo,woo?"

The blockhead turned to the larger boy with a confused face. "Woo,woo,woo?" he asked.

Belson shrugged,"Look, I don't know what to say! I'm new to this situation, woo,woo,woo is the best I got!" they both laughed.

"I'm never gonna forget that!" Jeff laughed falling on the floor.

A ring tone went off making the boys quiet down. Jeff checked his phone, shaking his head. "Not mine." Belson took out his phone then answered.

"Sup baby." Belson said,"Oh nothing. Just hanging with Jeff."

The blockhead automatically knew who was on the phone. Clarence. Jeff sighed getting back on top of the couch. "Tell Clarence, I said hey."

"Jeff says hey." Belson giggled."He says hey Jeff."

This is going to be a long day.

After being shunned by Belson, Jeff had went home to sulk by himself. He had tried calling Sumo but the tan boy wouldn't answer. He looked at his phone for any messages but found none.

The blocked tried again. "Pick up, pick up!" he begged. No one answered again. Was Sumo avoiding him? "He wouldn't ignore me... Would he?" Jeff crawled into his bed grabbing a pillow. "What are you doing that's so important that you can't pick up my calls?"

He tossed and turned trying to get comfortable but had quit when he figured he wouldn't get any comfort. "Suuuummmmoooo" Jeff moaned missing his rowdy friends companionship. He shut his eyes wishing the tan boy would appear to him but alas no one came.

The next day was worse. He had to help Clarence clean out his garage for some reason. Belson woudnt not help because he states "Hardwork is for the handy." and Clarence responded. "Your pretty good with your hands, if you know what I mean." Jeff rolled his eyes the entire time. They had finished a lot quicker than what he expected.

"Lets go to Rough Riders Chicken." Jeff said. He was so hungry he could eat a cow.

"I'll pay since you guys did all the work." Belson said getting up from the dirty couch. Clarence shot up, if he didn't have to pay it always makes his day. Beslon hopped into his car with the two teens in follow.

The short brunette turned to the blonde blushing. Belson started to fan himself,"My dear." he gasped taking another look at his sweat blonde. Jeff saw Belsons reaction then frowned.

"You better not be getting hard up there."

Clarence burst into laughter while Belson blushed like a tomato. Jeff was serious about this. He didn't want a boy with a hard-on to hand him his food.

They pulled up into the driveway in silence. Clarence still giggled a bit making Belson blush harder while Jeff sat smugly in the back.

"What do you guys want?" Belson asked.

"I want a spicy chicken sandwich, extra fries, a hot caramel mocha, and twenty peice chicken nuggets." Jeff answered. Both teens that sat in the front turned to look at the small blockhead.

Belson looked to Clarence,"Daaaaammmnnnn."

"Your paying not me." Jeff stated. Belson looked to Clarence for his answer.

"I'll get a chicken wrap with a soda." The blonde says.

"I'll get the same." Belson ordered the food and pulled up. The wait was killing them. Especially the blockhead. He was so hungry it was his stomach was eating his stomach.

An eternity passed and they finally gotten their food. Jeff eyed Belson as the sort boy handed him his food. Once he had double checked his food he started eating. Belson watched the small boy chug down his mocha and stuff his face with fries.

"Jeff, I'm no doctor, but I think your eating a lot of junk food to get away from Sumo in a way." Belson explained. "Like your getting some sort of comfort from food." Jeff shrugged while Clarence nodded.

"Yeah, you usually just get the fries." the blonde added.

Jeff rolled his eyes. "I'm just hungry, okay!" he stuffed some chicken nuggets in his mouth with fries.

"Your mixing foods, dude."

Jeff looked in his hands. He was mixing food. The blockhead hit realization that his friends were right. "Sorry, I just..."

"Why not just call him?" Clarence suggested bit Jeff shook his head.

"He won't pick up, I've tried already."

Clarence gave a look of confusion. "I talked to him yesterday." Jeff snapped his head over at the blonde. "Yeah, want me to call him for you?" The blockhead nodded like crazy. Wait a second. What is he suppose to say to the tan boy? 'Hi I miss you come back soon?' that was beggish.

It was too late, Clarence had dialed the rowdy boys number. The blonde pressed the speaker phone.

"Hey Clare, sup?" it was Sumo on the other line. Jeff felt his heart skip a beat hearing that scale like voice brought shivers down his spine. Clarence looked at the blockhead to speak. Jeff motioned for the phone, Clare handed him the phone smiling.

Jeff hands were shaking as he took the phone and put it on regular sound. "H-hey Sumo." he stuttered.

Clarence and Belson turned to get a better view of the nervous boy.

-Jeff?- Sumo asked.

"Yep, i-its me." Jeff completely hated himself, he was acting like a total dork in front of his friends. "Whatcha doing?"

-Nun, just hanging with some from friends.- Sumo says. Jeff could hear the tan boy whispering something to someone in the background. The blockhead heard giggling from someone else too. -What's up?-

"The usual, I've been hanging out with Belson and Clarence." Jeff felt a little awkward. He and Sumo always had a connection when talking to each other, what changed? "I-"

-Aye Jeff, I'll call you later. Kay? Bye- Before Jeff had a chance to speak Sumo had already hung up. Jeff watched the screen turn back into the home page.

"Soooo what he say?" Belson asked stopping at a red light. Jeff wanted to disappear, cry, and yell. He moved into his seat more and crossed his arm are turned around seeing his friends sad expression.

The blonde frowned,"My dear, Jeff, what is troubling you?" he asked in his wizard talk.

"My, he seems sadden." Belson added.

"Will you guys please stop trying to be in Lord of the Rings!" Jeff said. He was not in the mood to play Legolas. Clarence huffed with Belson. Those two were huge fans of the series.

Belson sighed,"Really, Jeff, what did he say?"

"He was busy so we couldn't talk that much."

The short brunette and blonde shared another look. "Well to get your mind off things we set up a study buddy!" Belson said happily.

A study buddy? A study buddy?! Jeff eyes widened madly. He doesn't do study buddy that means he'll have to tutor a kid. The kids he had to tutor we're always the ones that had him do all the work. He gave up on tutoring a long time ago he wasn't going back.

"Don't worry! I know what you're thinking and its not you doing all the work! Its Breen!" Clarence smiled.

Jeff blinked. "Why does Breen need help?" if his memory served him correct Breen was good inside school. Why would he need help? "Are you sure?" Jeff asked. Belson nodded for the umpteenth time.

The blockhead took a sip of his still hot mocha. Maybe this won't be this bad. "When am I suppose to tutor him?"

"Today." Belson pulled up in Breens yard. "Call us when its over!" Jeff looked around confused. How did he not see they weren't going in the right direction. Belson and Clarence smiled. The blockhead shook his head not getting out of the car.

The short brunette frowned. "No! I'm not getting out!" Jeff hated surprises like this.

Breen peeked out of his window then rushed outside. "Hi guys!" he made it over to the car.

Jeff gave his best fake smile,"Hi Breen." he had to come up with a good excuse to get out of this one. "Sorry but I can't help you today... I'm helping Clarence with his garage!"

"We finished that?" Clarence says. Jeff wanted to slap that look off of Belsons face once and for all but now he had no choice but to get out of the car.

"I'll see you guys later." the blockhead mumbled getting out of the car. Belson waved goodbye out the window then sped off. He was sure that Clarence and Belson wanted some alone time (wink, wink).

He walked into the red heads house surprised to not see the boys controlling parents. "So what do we have to do?" He turned looking at the nervous boy. He took a good look at the boy; Breen's hands were sweating, he was looking down, and he had tensed up a bit.

Oh. Hell. No.

"I actually don't have any work." the red head rubbed the back of his neck. "I want to tell you something."

Jeff's mind was working like clockwork. He needed a way out of this, quickly! What would Sumo do? The blockhead searched for an exit finding only one and that's the front door Breen is blocking.

Shit!

"Umm, and what's that, Breen?" he asked looking down.

"I kinda have a crush on-" here it comes. "-Percy!"

Jeff opened his eyes. "Say whaat?"

"I have this huge crush on Percy and when I found out that you were gay, I thought that you could help me! I really really like him!" Breen confessed. Jeff gave a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Breen, all you have to do is talk to him."

Jeff coudn't tell a lie. Today actually got better! Talking with Breen was so fun, he was with someone on his level and social status! The boy was too cool, he may seem submissive but he actually was funny and a little weird. Exactly like Jeff!

Time passed. They mainly talked about Breen's life and some algebra. "You need a ride home?" Jeff nodded.

The drive home was amazing! They listened to rap music the whole way. They both have an interest in urban music too. Both of them says it gave them this light air feeling.

"Ain't yelling cut when it shooting time!" Breen said matching the lyrics.

"Sign up its recruiting time! Big wigs with a suit and tie. Them big things got two inside!" Jeff rapped along.

They laughed looking at the rode. It was dark out but that wasn't killing their vibes. Jeff made it home safe and sound. His mother was probably in bed sleeping, that's mostly what she does now a days. He looked at the time then started his nightly cycle. Food, Bath, Brush, then Bed.

He fell asleep late that night, he was having really good dreams. He was on a beach with Sumo and they were acting all lovey dovey. The blockhead woke up to a noise on his phone. He had 3 new text messages.

-Lol we gotta hang more often- Breen

-How was tutoring Breen?- Belson

-Did you guys build a rocket ship:)- Clarence

Jeff looked for any miss calls but had none. The blockhead felt a little hurt that Sumo didnt bother to call or text him. He wanted to text back badly, it was a guilt that came over him, it would be rude to not text back . Jeff decided he was too tired to repond so he left the messages alone.

Another beep came from his phone. Jeff sighed, "Its probably Belson." he picked it it up staring at the screen. 1 new message.

-Wyd, blockhead?- Sumo

It was Sumo. Jeffs heart thumped in his chest, oh dear, what is going to say back. He started to panic. "Omg, omg, omg!" he tried started to hyperventilate. "Calm down, its only Sumo, your best friend."

-Jus woke up- Jeff typed hoping to sound cool.

He started waiting on a reply but nothing came. "What's taking him so long!?" he was laid back on his bed surrounded by pillows. "Uuhhhh!" he cried getting up. The blockhead walked to kitchen then fixed him so toast.

Every two seconds he would check his phone. He had 0 messages. He took out the bacon, skillet, and eggs. A breakfast sandwich! It consisted of all these ingrediants. "Makin a breakfast sandwich! Got my bread and bacon, gonna do some baking. Yeah I'm makin a breakfast sandwich." Jeff sung to himself.

After eating, the blockhead called Belson.

"Belsssssieee!" Jeff whined.

"Jeff I'm kind of in the middle of something." Belson said. Jeff could hear Clarence in the back ground. "Say, Jeff, what are you doing this weekend?"

"Nothing, why?"

"Your gonna have a boys night with me!"

Jeff giggled,"Yessss Bitch Yesssss!"

"Ooh, I love it when you curse." Belson said hotly. That made Jeff giggle even more than usual.

Jeff held in a few laughs,"So what are we doing?" he asked faking being flirtatious. He even twisted the phones cord.

"First we're going to movies to see TMNT, I know you have a huge crush on that Raphael character. Next we're going to meet up with Clare to go out and eat at that Chinese place. Lastly we're gonna get your ears pierced!"

"What!?" Jeff exclaimed pulling his ears.

"Just kidding! Lastly me and you are gonna talk it up! You know like how girls do! Yada yada yada!"

"I'll totally-" Jeff cut himself off when he heard his mom call him. "Sorry I can't make it." he quickly shared goodbyes then ran to see what his mom wanted. His life sucked like pacifier.

School.

74 Days out of the hell hole and now they were finally back. Jeff fixed his clothes and adjusted his back pack. Finally, they made it to be seniors! He walked the halls, searching through crowds of students for his friends. When he saw Belson he pratically threw himself on the boy.

"Bessie!" he hugged tighter.

Belson rolled his eyes and hugged back. "I told you not to call me that. Why are you acting like this? We've seen each other the whole summer." Jeff broke away laughing nervously.

"Its just we're seniors! We run this bitch!" Jeff jumped up and down.

"Oooh someone's hyped." Belson teased. "Don't look now but your boyfriends here." Jeff automatically looked. Sumo was talking up a storm with Clarence.

Jeff's face turned red just from seeing Sumo. All summer he hadn't seen the tan boy and now he was overwhelmed with emotion. He ran over, Belson tried to stop him but the blockhead was too fast to catch. "Jeff!" Belson said trying to keep up with him.

"Like I said-" Sumo was cut off when someone hugged his side. He looked down seeing Jeff. The tan teen gulped trying to remove the blockhead. "Sup...Jeff?" he sounded uncomfortable like he didnt want to be here.

"Sumo!~" the blockhead missed him so much. Why didn't Sumo answer his calls? Why didn't he ever text back? What so important that he couldn't take five seconds away to talk to him? "I missed you."

The taller teen felt guilty for leaving Jeff behind, his eyes turned to Clarence who was shaking his head and his arms were crossed. He looked back to Jeff and sighed. "I missed you too, Jeff."

Relief hit the blockhead,"Really! Come on lets go get our schedules and we can talk about our summers!" Jeff dragged the teen away from the blonde and brunette.

"Sure." Sumo's heart beat quicken in his chest when Jeff grabbed his hand. Shame filled his being. If Jeff knew what he did over this summer, the blockhead would never speak to him again.

"Hurry it up!" Jeff says happily tugging on the tan teen. Sumo smiled at least he knew he had someone to look forward to after his trip. He'd always have his blockhead.
