Truth or Dare?

Chapter:12

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the concert everyone went to their third period classes. Fortunately for Charlie,him and Adam were in science together that period. When Charlie got to class he saw Adam sitting in the back and went to the back as well,and took a seat next to Adam.

"Charlie," Adam began,"what are you doing?"

"What?" Charlie asked,"I can't sit by my boyfriend?"

"I just don't know if I'm ready for everyone to know that I'm your boyfriend," Adam said.

"Did you see the hallway?" Charlie asked. I think they already know." Before Adam could retort to that snood remark,their teacher walked in the room. As the teacher was reintroducing herself,Charlie was writing a note to Adam. He quickly passed it to him while the teacher had her back turned. Adam rolled his eyes and took the note,wich read:

Hey,

I know you don't want to let people know that we're a couple,but I do. Tell me why you're so uptight about this. Did I do something wrong?

Adam looked at Charlie,who was pretending to pay attention,and then replied to the note. He then waited until the teacher's back was turned and gave it back to Charlie. His reply read:

Charlie,

I'm sorry I've been acting crazy lately. I really do want people to know we're a couple,I guess I'm just afraid of what they might say if we tell them.

Before Charlie could reply back,the bell rang for lunch. This was his chance to talk to Adam.

lunchroom

In the lunchroom,Charlie sat down with Adam and the Ducks for lunch.

"So,who else,besides me,liked the concert?" Connie asked.

"I have to admitt that was pretty cool for a girl band," Ken said.

"And the cool thing was I know most of those girls from my classes," Guy said.

As the rest of the Ducks continued with their conversation,it was like Charlie and Adam were in their own seperate world. The two of them kept exchanging looks until Charlie finally couldn't take it anymore. He leaned over and whispered something in Adam's ear and left the table. Adam waited until Charlie was out of the cafeteria,and he left as well.

"Where are you going?" Ken asked.

"My dorm," Adam said,"I left one of my books there." He then went up to his dorm like Charlie had asked him to. When he got there,he saw Charlie sitting on his bed.

"You wanted to see me?" Adam asked.

"Yeah," Charlie said,"everyone in school probably knows that we're a couple,or they think we're a couple. I need to know if you're comfortable with them knowing because I can't keep this a secret anymore."

Adam felt as if he was hit with a huge stone,but Charlie did have a point. This secret was tearing them both apart.

"I think I'm ready for them to know," Adam said,"but I'm only ready for them to know. As far as parents go,I'm just not ready for that yet."

"And I can live with that," Charlie said. Let's go to class before we're late." So the two of them headed to class. As they turned the corner,Riley stepped out from behind another corner. Somehow,he had managed to hear their entire concersation.

"So Banks," he whispered,"afraid of your old man are we? Well,you're gonna have a whole other reason to fear him when I'm done with you."
