Chapter 2. (939 Words) "Ok you know I like you," said Jake, "But will you please listen to me. I have something to tell you and it might be a bit of a surprise, I should have told you sooner, but I've never been brave enough to tell you, and this has to be sorted out now!" Hamilton just looked confused at this ramble, "Ok here goes... I'M A GIRL!" "Ugh, what? How? I don't understand," rambled Hamilton "I know your confused about this, so I'll tell you the whole truth in short: my mother has never noticed me, so I've done some wild and crazy things to get her attention... this is one of them, the thing is it didn't work, she didn't notice! I was meant to be discovered, but I actually like it here! I have friends! I... have... you!" she said hazardly in a quiet voice. "Oh... I'll have to think about this", Hamilton said and then walked out of the room quickly. "Hamilton wait, we need to talk about this" she called down the corridor, and he started to jog quickly down the corridor, she pulled the door closed after her and followed him, by the time she had caught up with him, he was already heading into the woods. "Isn't this what you want?" Jake asked inquisitively, "Yes and no... you had me thinking I was gay! I've only just accepted that and now you say it's not true! That screws with your head, if you know what I mean" he replied. "Yes I know, if I knew this was going to happen I wouldn't have done it, but then we wouldn't have met! So it was wrong whatever I did, and we can't change what happened. So here we are!" A long silence followed, as both thought about their unusual meeting. "Ok, I know what you mean and I agree, but this will take a while to work through, my brain is already in overdrive. And before you ask, I'll not tell anyone that you're a girl!" Hamilton said hesitantly, "Does this mean we're dating? we'll have to pretend to be gay! if we tell anyone, does that bother you?" asked Jake eagerly. "Yeas were going out and no I don't mind being gay as long as I'm with you! but I don't think we should tell anyone yet, I want some time to adjust to the idea first." and he leaned forward and kissed her! -Every time we kiss, you bring out the women in me.- "This is going to be a very confusing relationship! you do know that don't you?" said Jake in a mock serious voice. "Yes, but I wouldn't miss it for the world! As long as I'm with you everything will be ok," replied Hamilton in a gentle voice, that made Jake's knees weak.

Things carried on as normal, well... everyone on the outside of the relationship thought so, but things couldn't have been more different, every moment alone they had together was special, they'd talk, cuddle, kiss... but as soon as they were with anyone else, they became just Hamilton and Jake, the best friends! But things were about to change... --about 6 weeks later-- It had been almost a whole day without even one of their 'special' moments, Hamilton hadn't arrived for the early morning wake-up call he usually gave Jake, and they hadn't had a moment to themselves all day, so when Finn called an extra training lesson, they weren't very happy! "Why did he have to do it now! straight after class, he could have at least given up ten minutes," complained Jake. "I know, I'd much rather be holding you, kissing you..." whispered Hamilton into her ear. "Hey stop your making me blush!" "ok ok I'll stop but I know you don't want me to!" and he slyly pinched her bum! "Hey" and she punched him playfully but hard in the arm. "Now now gentlemen I don't want any of you with weak arms, so will you please NOT beat each other up! Please?" said Finn, whilst looking directly at Jake and Hamilton. The practice wasn't going well, Jake kept getting the timing wrong, and Hamilton seemed like he had lost the ability to row! "concentrate! CONCENTRATE!" hollered Finn from the speed boat, "Ok ok I give up, you are obviously not in the mood, so row back to shore, and practice is finished!" he said exasperated. Jake and Hamilton, ran from practice and headed for Jake's room, when they got there, they stumbled through the door, letting it close behind them. "I've missed you Jake, I may have been with you all day but it's not the same," "I've missed you too Hamilton," and they kissed passionately. They hadn't heard the footsteps in the corridor or the very light knock on the door, until the door swung open. There stood Ryder, his jaw hanging open, Jake and Hamilton flew apart, both turning red! "Ooooh, wait till everyone hears about this! We've got gays on campus!" and at that Ryder went running off down the hall to fiend his friends. A long silence ran through the room. "Oh shit we forgot to lock the door!" muttered Jake "Well its a bit late now don't you say" "We knew it would happen some time, but I didn't think it would be this soon, I should have prepared for this!" "What about? not locking the door?" "Stop making jokes, you know exactly what I mean," "I was only trying to lighten the mood, I'm sorry" "He's going to tell everyone! What are we going to do now!"
