Chapter 2: The Drama class

Tala sighed. The teacher was babbling about mathematic formulas and how and when to use them. Besides him, Kai was leaning back in his chair, with his arms crossed over his chest and eyes closed, apparently sleeping. Tala glanced out the window. The rain hammered heavily on the window sheds. It had been raining for the last few weeks, since Tala arrived at the school, and it was no sign of it stopping anytime soon.

"Mr. Ivanov, am I boring you?"

The teacher's hard words surprised him a little and he stared at the man behind the desk.

"You're not new anymore Mr. Ivanov. You know the rules, keep your eyes on the blackboard."

"Yes sir," the red haired teen replied, before the teacher went back to explaining the formulas.

Kai glanced over at Tala. They were sitting in the library finishing the history homework. The red head was reading one of the pages with a frown. Then he sighed heavily and leaned back in his chair.

"Why do we have to learn all this, it's not like we'll use it later anyways."

He crossed his arms behind his head and closed his eyes, still frowning. Kai grinned, but didn't answer, he just kept looking at Tala.

"Why are you staring at me Kai?"

He opened his eyes and returned the blue haired teens gaze. For a moment they looked at each other, before Kai closed his eyes and shrugged. Tala kept on looking at him as he returned his attention to the homework.

"Kai…can I ask you something?"

As the purple orbs once again meet his ice blue ones, the red head had to swallow before continuing.

"How do you know that you're gay?" he felt his cheeks warm up and he guessed he was blushing a little. Kai stared at him for a few long minutes.

"Boys taste better than girls, it's that simple," he answered then turned back to the books once again.

It can't be that simple, can it? Tala asked himself before hesitatingly returning to the books as well.

"More emotion Mr. Ivanov! More emotion!" a short and chubby, blue eyed man in his mid 40's walked hastily up on stage. His curly patina blond hair was a screaming contrast to his tanorexic skin. He wore a lavender shirt, beige khaki pants and white moccasins topped with a silver silk scarf and a light coloured wool jacket. In his right earlobe hung a single silver earring.

"Mr. Ivanov, have you no passion? You're madly in love with Garland and have decided to tell him. You're exited, nervous. Have you never been in love boy?"

Tala stared at his drama teacher. Ever since it had been decided that they were doing a Christmas play he had felt uneasy in every drama lesson. That it was a play about gay boys and Christmas didn't really bother him. What bothered him was that he had one of the lead roles with Garland, the school's most popular guy and boyfriend, that was defiantly troublesome. The red head glanced over at his roommate. Damn Kai is so lucky he got an easy role, as one of Santa's elves.

"Mr. Ivanov, Tala, listen to me," the teacher placed an arm around the teens neck, "If this gay thing is bothering you…"

"It's not!" Tala quickly said. For some reason he didn't want anyone to think that that was the problem, especially not Kai.

"It's just…I haven't been in a play before."

He stared down at his shoes, suddenly afraid to look at anyone.

"Sir, why don't you go through some of the other scenes we're not in, and I'll talk with Tala," Garland's voice cut through Tala's thoughts, and a little later the two of them were sitting in one of the back rows talking.

"You really never been in a play before?" Garland asked. Tala just shook his head.

"Well then I understand why you're nervous. But just relax. We'll take it slow okay? By the time we're performing, you'll know all your lines and you'll do great," his voice was confident and friendly, making the red haired teen feel more relaxed.

"Sure. I'll just have to rehearse a bit more," he said. As he looked down at the stage, he found a pair of purple orbs glaring in their direction. The moment Tala looked at him, Kai quickly turned away like it was nothing.

What was that about? Tala wondered, and decided to ask when they were back in their room.

"Kai?"

"Umph," was the grumpy reply he got when they were back in their room.

"Why were you glaring at me and Garland when we were talking in drama class?" Tala sat on his bed watching the blue haired guy take off his uniform.

"Because I know what Garland is after, that's why. And you don't want that," he growled as he removed his shirt, showing his well trained body. Tala caught himself staring at the muscular back of the other teen and quickly looked out the window instead.

"We were just talking about the play. He said he would help me get into character."

Kai threw his shirt down on the bed and turned towards Tala,

"You don't get it do you? I'm not the only gay guy in this school. Garland is known for changing boyfriends constantly. When he gets tired of one he finds a new one, and now he has his eyes on you."

Kai was mad, his eyes burned with hatred. Tala looked surprised,

"Kai you know I'm not gay, so relax. I only agreed to be in that role because the teacher will give me extra credits for it. Seriously, you're acting like a girl that just got dumped." The redhead couldn't help but smile at his own comment. But it only seemed to make Kai more irritated.

"Fine, if you're going to be that naive." He turned around again and quickly changed before getting into bed. Then with his back towards Tala he pretended to be asleep. Tala sighed. He had no idea why Kai was acting like this. Did he really think Tala was that naive and that he would get together with Garland? The red head shook his head before undressing and getting into his own bed.

The hell I will!. Was his final thought before he turned off the light and went to sleep.

AmTheLion: That was chapter 2. What's up with Kai? And his he right about Garlands intentions?
Will Tala manage to do a good play when that time comes?
Either way continue to review or I might have to put up a limit again.
