Liberty High School

10:00 AM

Mr. Horner pulled his excitement back and replaced it with a practiced stern, uncaring look. It was still early but he imagined the kids needed a break before lunch and he didn't want to be disturbed after 11 while his favorite t.v. show was on.

"Who needs a bathroom break?" he asked.

All 5 sets of hands shot up just to have an excuse to walk around the school since there was no bathroom in the library. They all got up at the same time, stretching and feeling the aches from several hours confined to hard wooden chairs, well except Brian of course, who had moved at will during the morning.

"Grab some wood" Horner ordered and several boys laughed at the double meaning, "Sit down. We will go one-at-a-time" he clarified.

"Mr. Horner" Brian said raising his hand in a mocking way, "Can I be first, I'm gonna piss on the floor if I don't go soon"

"You" he said pointing at Ted, "You go first"

Ted stood up, followed by Brian who unzipped his zipper and arched his back slightly getting ready to piss on the floor as promised. Horner relented at the plausibility of him actually peeing on the floor and he hated for Vic to have to deal with the mess.

"Fine Kinney", he added reluctantly, "you can go too"

Brian zipped up and strutted to stand next to Ted like a proud peacock. "Let's go" he said tempering his strut just a little since he actually did need to go pretty badly.

Brian and Ted walked to the nearest men's room and entered. Ted, as per men's room custom, stood at the urinal to the far right. Brian, breaking the custom, stood immediately next to him forgoing the four options further away.

Brian's nearness gave Ted pause, looking over at Brian simply out of surprise but ending up catching a glimpse of his dick as he pulled it out. This was Brian's intention all along. Not that he wanted Ted; he just wanted to discourage him from any thoughts of competing with him over Justin. It was childish but Brian still held out hope Justin might be his.

Ted quickly corrected his eyes to the spot on the wall in front of him but he smiled at his memory. Brian had the thickest one he had ever seen and he wasn't even hard. His eyes closed as he released his stream into the urinal and thought about getting on his knees in front of such a delicious cock someday.

Brian smirked knowing Ted had the desired reaction. He allowed himself a glimpse of Ted's dick when he was sure his eyes were closed and he rocked back on his heels checking on his ass as well. Ted was a wound a little too tightly for Brian's taste. Even the fantasy of taking him in the men's room during detention at his school wasn't that appealing. He finished his task, shook off and zipped up before turning to the row of sinks.

Ted quickly followed and the boys stared at each other in the mirror. Ted broke the stare nervously.

"Are you gay?" Brian asked Ted calmly.

Ted stammered, "What? No! You just surprised me when you stood so close"

Brian laughed as he washed his hands, "Relax, I'm not a Neanderthal. I don't go around beating up fags. I was just curious"

"Are you a cherry?" he asked.

"No" Ted lied again. "Are you?"

"Hardly" Brian quipped.

"So who is this girl?" Brian persisted, "I don't recall seeing you with anyone."

"You wouldn't know her, she lives in Canada" Ted responded casually "I met her at Niagara Falls"

"Really? Canada?" Brian laughed not buying any of what Ted was selling. "You ever lay anyone around here?"

Just as Brian was about to harass Ted further a creek at the door distracted him as Justin appeared and walked to the urinals without a word.

"So does this Canadian twat have a name?" Brian asked staring in Justin's direction admiring the ass he had so wanted to see all morning.

"Shh" Ted mouthed accompanied by putting his finger to his lips and pushing his hands down in a "let's cool it" gesture. Ted did not want Justin to hear Brian call him out on being a virgin. Brian however pretended to misinterpret the gesture.

"Oh, I'm sorry are you saying you and Justin…."

"What?" Justin whipped his head around hearing his name, "What are you saying?" he glared at Ted as he zipped up.

Ted stood speechless so Brian answered for him, "Theodore here was just telling me that in addition to the numerous Canadian women he's deflowered, that you and he…."

Justin shot Ted a nasty look, "I really don't appreciate that Ted"

"That's not what I meant" Ted stammered at Brian and then turned to Justin and repeated, "That's not what I meant at all. I just didn't want you to know…."

"Know what?" Justin asked.

"I didn't want you to know I'm a virgin" he admitted completely humiliated placing his head in his hands.

Justin sighed seeing how Brian was impacting them both, "That's okay" Justin brushed past Brian to the sink. "There's nothing wrong with that" he added thoughtfully as he washed his hands.

"We better get back" Justin said to Ted placing a hand on his shoulder, all but ignoring Brian who was gutted from Justin's slight but still playing it cool.

As the three boys reentered the library and returned to their seats. Horner nodded at Ben and Michael, "Ok, now you two and hurry it up"

"Mr. Horner" Ben asked politely raising his hand respectfully, "Can we get some milk from the cafeteria or something to drink?"

"I have a really low tolerance for dehydration" Justin added to the suggestion.

"I've seen him dehydrate sir, it's pretty gross" Brian confirmed for good measure, "I'll get it" he offered standing back up.

"Ahh ah a" Horner cackled, "Sit down Kinney. Do you think I was born yesterday, that I'm going to let you roam these halls?"

Horner considered the request. A soda would prevent numerous drinking fountain requests down the road, "Fine" he answered, "When you are finished using the men's room you can enter the teacher's lounge, there's a soda machine. One each"

Ben and Michael jumped up excitedly for different reasons; Ben just at the opportunity to move around but Michael to be around Ben alone.

As they approached the men's room, Ben caught Michael's lustful stare for the first time and he grew malcontent. He shook the emotion off in his head. He wasn't gay, he repeated like a mantra to himself. He liked attention but he wasn't gay.

"So what did you do anyways to get sent to detention?" Ben asked Michael.

Michael racked his brain for an answer more interesting than the truth. The truth was boring and he wasn't sure himself it was even worthy of detention. "I got caught with liquor" he offered, "Vodka" he added.

"No way" Ben said impressed; he didn't think Michael was the type. "How'd you get caught?"

"Um, I guess, Mr. Horner must have smelled it"

Ben laughed at Michael's lie, "Have you ever even had a drink? Vodka doesn't smell"

Michael cringed at his mistake. The truth was he had gotten detention for nothing other than being honest with the school counselor about his depression.

Ben and Michael proceeded to use the restroom and head to the teacher's lounge in uncomfortable silence. Ben walked behind Michael a few steps as they navigated the hallways. He towered over the much smaller frame of his classmate and enjoyed mentally comparing their bodies' physiques. Michael was boy-next-door adorable but still toned and fit. His shirt was tight enough you could see he worked out although nothing like Ben's strenuous regimen. He doubted Michael had an ounce of body fat either and he had a great….ugh! Ben banished the thoughts again, I'm not gay, I'm not gay he repeated in his head.

"So what did you do?" Michael asked as he entered the teacher's lounge for the first time, "I mean for detention."

"Um, I'm here today because my coach and my father don't want me to blow my ride" Ben said growing serious and leaning against the wall "See I get treated differently because they think I'm a winner. I'm not a winner because I want to be one. I'm a winner because I have strength and speed, kind of like a racehorse. That's about how involved I am in what's happening to me."

"Yeah" Michael offered slowly feeling Ben was feeding him a line of undeserved self-pity. He couldn't imagine that Ben would have even an ounce of a reason to feel sorry for himself, after all, he had everything Michael could ever want. "Now why don't you really tell me why you're in here?" he asked unfeelingly.

Ben couldn't believe he had opened up to Michael only to be mocked; he expected a sympathetic ear or at least a more sensitive response. He spurted out "Forget it" and grabbed the sodas from the machine leaving Michael to follow behind him quietly.

Back alone again in the library, Justin leaned against the post as Brian perused a medical book sitting on the stairs neither willing to sit back in the torturous chairs. Ted sat on the railing to the ramp nearby watching the hilarity of the dynamic play out.

"Justin" Brian called, "Do you want to see a picture of elephantiasis of the nuts? It's pretty tasty!"

"No thank you" Justin responded displaying his weariness at Brian's antics. He looked down and picked at his cuticles as he spoke.

"Would you ever consider dating a guy like this?" Brian continued needling until he wore Justin down completely.

"Can't you just leave me alone?" Justin asked exasperated.

"I mean if he had a great personality, was a good dancer and had a cool car?" he added presuming that was the type Justin would be into if he was gay. "Although you probably have to ride in the back seat cause it's nuts would ride shotgun"

Justin ignored Brian's barrage, "You know what I wish I was doing right now?" he asked changing the subject but speaking to no one in particular.

"I wish I was on a plane…to France" Justin said dreamily, "I want to go to the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre". He closed his eyes wishing himself among the works of the Masters.

Brian studied Justin's far off stare from the piercing blue eyes and caught the light bouncing off his hair from the windows. He noticed the way his jeans molded to the curve of his ass and the faint outline of his package; the rows of muscle hidden just beneath his fair, smooth skin. He imagined no French museum contained a more perfect picture than the one he was staring at right then and there.

A/N: We will start moving along quickly after lunch. Please review, it keeps the chapters coming quickly.
