"Charles Dickens was born in London. Who here can tell me names of his books?" Several names were shot out. "Yes, thats good. So, everyone write this down in your notes." Everyone quickly pulled out a piece of paper. "Here's a tip kids, if I'm talking, you're writing, unless I tell you otherwise. Now, 'It was the best of times, it's was the worst of times.' Does anyone know what that is. You."
"A sentence."
"Good, what kind of a sentence."
Another girl yelled out, "A hook."
"Good, what's your name."
"Brittany."
"Brittany, eh? Now, when you read last night, assuming you read last night, were you hooked in by this sentence?"
"Sure."
"Sure?"
"Well, yea, I guess. It doesn't help that it was assigned."
"Alright, listen, I assign reading. I don't assign reading logs, reading journals, vocabulary logs, any type of writing homework."
~~~~~~~~~~
"How's school."
"Pace, it's so great."
"What's so great about it?"
"The kids are so much more open with everything, and I'm able to be open without worrying about parents complaining because there isn't only 20 students, i have 160 total."
"Well, it was good here too."
"Pacey, what is up with you wanting me to come back?"
"I miss you man."
"You call me all the time. Face it, I wouldn't be able to get rid of you if I tried."
"I dunno. It's just different with only Jo and me here."
"You'll get used to it."
"I don't know."
"Look, you'll see me when Jo has the baby. Which will be soon, I'm sure. So, if you want to, you could come up this weekend, or something, and we could do lunch."
"Sounds good."
"Alrighty."
"I'll ask Jo and I'll call you up."
"Alrighty. Talk to ya." Jack saw Tobey knock on the open door. "Bye." He hung up and walked over to Tobey. "Hey. Kiss me sexy."
"Can do." They did. "Hey, my roommate's coming back tommorow, and i want you to meet her."
"Sure. But tonight, your apartment is empty."
"Yea, but look, I think we outta set up your bed. Get us nice and...sweaty."
"You're sick."
"Yea, and?"
"And that's good."
So they set up the bed, both talking about work and friends, and how things were going in general. And when the bed was set up, they got to it. But something happened that neither had anticipated. A knock on the door.
Tobey and Jack were only kissing at the time (they had gotten the good stuff over with). The loud knocking surprised them. Jack let go of Tobey and looked up. "Shit, who the hell is here this late?" He pulled an extra sheet out of a box next to his bed and wrapped it around himself. The person at the door surprised him. "Pacey?"
"Hey Jackey, sleeping naked, are we? Look, I need to crash here. Jo is in a bad mood and kept kicking me out of bed, so I called Bess to stay with her tonight. Oh Amy looks so precious"
"Look, Pace, now is really not a good time." Pacey looked past Jack and saw Tobey standing with a sheet around him, like Jack.
"Who's this?"
"Pacey, you should have called."
"Who's this?"
"This...this is Tobey."
"Well, look, I'll just stay at a motel six."
"No, no, just wait here for a second." He turned around and pushed Tobey into the bedroom and closed the door. "I'm sorry. He ruined our night."
"It's fine."
"Okay, look, just get dressed and I'll walk you upstairs." So they both got dressed, and exited the room. Pacey had grabbed a beer and was sitting on the couch. "Look, Pacey, I'll be back in a half an hour or so." Pacey nodded, and gave Tobey a cold stare. Jack closed the door behind him, and leaned back onto the wall, sliding down. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect him."
"That's fine. It isn't your fault."
"This is so awkward."
"Why? Didn't he know? Oh geez, I outed you?"
"That's Pacey. YOu probably don't remember him." On the other side of the door, pacey was eavesdropping on the conversation. "He is Doug's brother. Doug, my ex. I don't know he keeps wanting me to go back to Doug."
"Well why did you break up with him?"
"At first, I thought it was because he wouldn't come out. Then I realized I just didn't love him as much as he loved me, and that would come back to haunt me if I kept lying to him. I knew how much it hurt for him to lie, and I just couldn't go through that." Tobey grabbed his hand.
"Jack?"
"Hmm?"
"It's gonna be okay. I'm here now. I'm here with you, you're here with Amy, and we're both here with each other. So I think we'll both get over our lost ones. You're helping me with mine, I'm helping you with yours. But more than anything, Amy is helping you with yours, and will always be there to remind you of her. I only have pictures. I want you to know, that I'm upstairs, everyday until we part ways. You can come up anytime."
"I know."
"Jack?"
"Hmm?"
"Is it sort of weird to say that I feel like I'm falling in love with you?"
"Not at all, because I feel the same way."
"Alright. I feel like I'm falling in love with you."
"I feel the same way." The kissed, and Tobey pushed off the ground and walked away. Pacey sat back down, in the other room, just taking it all in. Jack walked in. "You could have called, you know."
"I didn't know you would have some trick over."
"He's not some trick. He was my first boyfriend."
"No, that one guy...what was his name..."
"Tobey."
"Yea... oh, well, you haven't seen him in like 8 years."
"So? Pace, it's really none of your buisnuiss."
"It should be."
"Explain to me why it should be." Amy started crying in her crib, in the other room. Jack left Pacey pondering.
