The Boarding School

Chapter 8- Five words sworn to secrecy

Once they were inside, Vince flopped onto his bed. Naboo had the Shaman crew do some sort of hoodoo on the room so it was tidied almost instantly.

"Howard, ya know tomorrow yeah?" Howard wordlessly nodded and stared at him from his bed. "Can we please go to the market? We could sneak out and no one would know until we get back and that would only be Naboo." Howard looked over at the wall and shrugged. Naboo was softly snoring in his bed and Vince and Howard couldn't help but smile.

"Well I suppose we could do with some fresh air." Howard sighed when he saw Vince give him to puppy dog look. He tried to glance at the floor but it was too late, he was already held in a stare of pure vulnerability.

"Oh yes! Genius! Night Howard." Vince smiled and closed his eyes before he began to drift into the world of imaginings.

"Night Vince." Howard said, an affectionate smile creeping onto his lips. Leaning back into the covers, Howard sighed happily and also drifted away into the world where anything could happen, anything he wanted to happen. The next morning, Howard began his routine. He woke up, brushed his teeth, got dressed (seen as it was a weekend, they could wear what they wanted) and listened to some morning jazz. Vince woke up to hear some sort of bebop and instantly rushed to the bathroom. Soon, Howard's ears were inhabited by the sound of his best friend throwing up last night's dinner. He walked in and sighed before kneeling down next to him and holding his jet black hair back.

"Vince, are you alright?" Howard's words held furtive hints of worry and care for his friend.

"No, it's the jazz. I'm allergic!" He wheezed and Howard looked away and patted his back.

"I'll go and turn it off." Howard smiled and left his sick friend to finish up. Skidding out of the bathroom, Howard fell over his brown suitcase, stood up and ran over to the record player to turn off his record. Vince soon appeared after brushing his teeth. His hair had just been brushed and had a slight curl to it and his eyes were at their natural state.

"Oh I feel horrible. I'd better go and get ready, straighten my hair." He sighed before Howard wrapped his hand around Vince's wrist and smiled.

"I think you look fine as you are." Howard smiled and let go of his wrist. Vince turned away to hide the cherry hints which were becoming clear on his cheeks. Looking back at Howard, he smiled and nodded.

"You think so?" Howard wordlessly nodded and chuckled at the proud look on Vince's face. Naboo woke up and smiled.

"What's up with you two?" Naboo asked as gleeful chuckles escaped from the two teens.

"Nothing, I'm gonna go get changed." Vince smiled happily before skipping off to his room. Howard bust into uncontrollable laughter when Naboo screamed and walked out of the bathroom with whipped cream on his face.

"Who did this? It was you two weren't it? You're in for it!" Naboo shouted and chased a scared Howard around the room before Vince opened the door to the closet where they kept their clothes to be confronted by an angry shaman. "Vince, explain."

"Oh yeah, Howard and I got bored so we put cream in your hand and tickled your nose and then ya know ya sneezed and… yeah." After a game of shaman and schoolboy (cat and mouse to us) Naboo gave up and went to shower. Vince had applied a tiny amount of eyeliner and lip-gloss, so little that it was barely noticeable.

"Are you ready?" Howard asked and grabbed his coat." Vince nodded and followed him out of the room and onto the street. "Right, where d'ya wanna go?" Howard asked and followed Vince into a hairdresser.

"Alright, I was hoping if you could do maybe a backcomb structure with framing, root-boost and a fringe?" The guy smiled and placed a cover over his chest.

"Maybe something a little different yeah?" He smiled and cut his hair a little shorter, dying it light brown and adding in some copper, red and blonde streaks. "Well?"

"Wow, this is amazing I… wow. Thanks mate. How much?" The man shook his head and let them off for free. "Check me out Howard it's unbelievable." Vince's amazement about his hair was so overbearing that he couldn't watch where he was going and walked right out into the road. A car was zooming down the road and Howard wrapped his arms around Vince's waist and pulled him back onto the pavement. "That's second time you saved me." Vince smiled and Howard smiled along side him.

"Yeah, imagine that." Howard sighed. He would always be there for him. 'I'll be there for you', five words which would always be sworn to secrecy.

"Let's go 'ome." Vince smiled, tangling his fingers in with Howards.
