Free period

After getting a part in the next school play Mike went to the library where he sat in the very back. He was told by his teacher to get caught up on what there were working on. As he was about to start he saw a few guys walking toward his table. He noticed one and that was Jayden and he was with two other guys. They came over to where he was sitting and sat down. Mike locked eyes with Jayden and smiled "Hi Jayden."

Jayden just smiled "Mike" he looks over at his friends "This is Kevin and Antonio, guys this Mike." The two waved at Mike and he waved back. "So what are you doing here all alone? Where are Mia and Emily?"

Mike shrugged "They had to do something but I'm meeting up with them later. Is there something I can help you with." He says looking right at Jayden.

Jayden shrugged "No but maybe I can help you with something." He says in a low voice.

Mike smiled "I doubt it but thanks for the offer."

Jayden chuckled "Ok then maybe I can help you with whatever you're doing now."

"I'm sure I can manage." Mike says smiling "But since you're offering I would love some help."

"Alright" Jayden looks back at his friends "Guys I'll see you later." Mike looked down at his book and missed the wink that Jayden gave to his friends. Jayden got up and sat next to Mike. "So what are you doing?"

Mike sighs "Since I missed half the school year here my teacher gave a packet of work that has to be done by the end of the week."

Jayden looks down at the packet. "Wow that's a lot of work are you sure you can handle it."

Mike scoff's "Oh please at my old school I was a straight a student. I can handle anything my teachers throw at me."

Jayden smiles "Yeah maybe at your old school but this school is pretty tough. I mean it is the number 1 school in the county. You're here with the big dogs Mike and so far you're just a little pup."

"Oh really well this little pup can take you any day of the week." Mike says leaning in a little closer.

Jayden sollows "Are we still talking about school work here."

Mike looks down at Jayden's lips then back in his eyes. "You tell me you're the expert."

Jayden just stares at Mike. His brown eyes drawing him in closer and closer, so close he can feel his breath on his own. Jayden wanted to kiss him so bad and without thinking he closed the distance between them. As soon as their lips touched Jayden felt the air in his lungs close.

Mike, taken by surprise placed a hand in Jayden's chest and pushed him away softly. "Why did you do that?" Mike asked his face going red.

Jayden shrugged "Because I want to." He tries to kiss him again but Mike stops him. "What is it?"

"I have to go I'm going to be late for class." Mike quickly got up and left the library. He left so quickly that he left one book behind.

Jayden picked it up and went after him but when he got in the halls Mike was gone. He then cursed himself, why did I have to kiss him. God I'm so stupid now he will never like me the way I like him. No…wait now that I will never get my money. Come on Jayden you can't be falling for this guy. That's not you and it never will be. He was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't hear Kevin and Antonio calling his name until he felt a hand go across his face. He snapped out of his thoughts and glared at Kevin. "Dude what the hell."

Kevin smiled "Dude we've been standing here for almost five minutes calling your name. What were you thinking about?"

Jayden pushes himself off the lockers. "Nothing"

Kevin and Antonio jogged up behind him. "Come on dude what are you having second thoughts about the new kid."

Jayden stops and turns to him. No alright I just have a lot going on."

"Oh don't give me that bull. I saw the way you were looking at him in the library. Dude you like him." Kevin said chuckling

Jayden pushed him "Shut up alright I don't like him. See look this is his book and I'm going to give it to him and ask him out."

"Awww you going to ask him on a date that's cute." Kevin says

"Dude you can't sleep with this guy. He's different from the other guys I've been with. I might have to take him on dates and stuff if I want to sleep with him. It's going to take time but I'm still in on this bet and I'm going to get my money."

Kevin shrugs "You've got two week dude. If it's not done then we'll have a problem."

Jayden smiles "Kevin I'm not afraid of you."

"No but you're afraid of you family and you don't get it done in two weeks. I'm going to tell them everything." Kevin walks off before Jayden can say anything else.

Antonio walks up to him. "Would it be so bad if you do like the kid?"

"I don't like him so drop it. I said I'll do it and I will now lay off." He pushes pass Antonio and walks off.

Antonio just stands there for a minute then he turns to see Mia at her locker. He goes over to her. "Hey, Mia can I talk to you for a minute."
