Cody sat in class staring at Dustin. He was surrounded by a group of kids, they were all joking around, even Dustin, and he seemed to be having fun. He was amazed at how much of an instant hit he was at school. Cody couldn't help but smile watching his boyfriend actually enjoying being at school. Cody was happy for the most part, the only problem was the ominous aura of malice that covered the far side of the class. He knew it was Zack and that he was jealous Dustin, after all Dustin had been there less than two days and he had already outclassed Zack in almost everything. He had even beaten him in basketball which made him furious, it was a close game but Dustin had pulled a three point shot out of nowhere causing Zack's team to lose.

Cody stood up and walked to the door. It was the end of the day and they were all getting ready to leave, as much as Cody would've loved to stare at Dustin more he couldn't. As he left the classroom Dustin saw him and stood up

"Guys I'm sorry. I just remembered I have to go home" Dustin told the group surrounding him.

"Awe common Dustin" one boy whined "it seems like every time Cody gets up to leave you follow in hot pursuit" he joked. Dustin laughed a slight nervous tone in his voice.

"Yeah common Dustin. We're all going to the mall to hang out. Why don't you come with us" a girl chimed in. All the kids stared at him. He gave a sigh

"Ok fine just give me a minute to run to my locker" he said. As he left the room he quickened his pace to catch Cody at his locker. Cody looked around quickly before he spoke

"Hey babe. You ready to go home" he asked.

"Cody I'm sorry without thinking I said I'd go to the mall with them. Do you think you could go home without me today" Dustin said apologetically.

"Oh...um ok. That's fine I guess" Cody replied with a sadness to his voice.

"Thanks babe" Dustin said leaning up and giving Cody a quick peck on the cheek before heading back to the classroom. Cody sighed grabbed his stuff and headed home.

"Ok guys you ready to go" Dustin said as he entered the classroom.

Dustin and the group entered the mall. They walked around for a bit visiting stores and the arcade. Dustin made sure that whenever he bought something he hid his wallet to avoid the other kids seeing his cash amount as well as the picture of Cody. Dustin was having fun being able to hang out with friends once in awhile. He knew he'd have to make it up to Cody for ditching him though. After a few hours the group found a secluded spot in the mall to sit and talk.

"It's fun having you come with us for once Dustin" one girl said.

"Yea it's nice to be able to hang out for once" Dustin laughed.

"What do you mean" another boy asked "did you not hang out with friends at your old school"

"The kids at my old school were dicks. There egos wouldn't let them get over my age so I got bullied a lot"'Dustin said

"Wow your old school sounds horrid" a boy said "but you know I know how you can forget all about it"

"How" Dustin laughed. The kid looked around for a second then pulled something out of his pocket.

"A little with our friend here makes everything all right" he said lighting the blunt. He took a puff then passed it to the girl next to him. It made its way around the circle until it got to Dustin. Dustin looked at it cautiously

"I don't know" he said.

"Awe common Dustin don't be a stick in the mud" a boy said. The rest of the group chimed in with agreement. Dustin took the blunt and took a hit. As soon as he finished the group heard a voice.

"HEY. WHAT ARE YOU KIDS DOING"
