My phone kept vibrating in my pants, it was probably just my dad bugging me about my calculus grade for winter quarter. I wasn't in the mood right now to be lectured about spending my winter break at the library or whatever. Of course when he found out about my C in math, he finally decided to acknowledge my existence by going ape shit and lecturing me 24/7 about spending my winter break at the library. Eff that, my last winter break before college will be spent on shopping and getting drunk with friend's thank you very much.

"I have a Grande pumpkin spice latte with extra whipped cream" A guy says as he puts the coffee that I ordered on the table.

I was about to take my drink when someone else snatched it first. "Hey what the fuck that was my drink!" I snapped.

I turned to make eye contact at a girl who looked to be about my age. She had blonde hair, big blue baby blue eyes and her skin was like pale, not like Gwen's Elmer's glue pale but like a porcelain doll. She was really pretty for a coffee thief "Excuse me, but this is my drink, I ordered a Grande pumpkin spice latte with extra whipped cream." She defensively snapped back in a Russian accent.

I was just about to bitch her out when the same coffee guy puts another coffee out and yells," I have another Grande pumpkin spice latte with extra whipped cream."

I quickly grab it, just in case if anyone else ordered the same drink. I looked at the girl apologetically. "I'm sorry about that crazy fiasco back there."

She just laughed and waved it off. "Oh no worries, I understand. So is the pumpkin spice latte your favorite too?"

"Hell yea, but the best part is-"

"The extra dose of whipped cream!" We say at the same time before giggling. "I'm Anastasia." She introduces herself and puts her hand out.

I smile and shake her hand. "Jasmine."

I could not be happier right now, here I was with the sexiest girl ever, one that I think I was in love with, sitting on my lap giggling with each other in nothing but our underwear. She slowly started kissing me, biting my lower lip that caused me to growl. She giggled so I retaliated by grabbing her ass and squeezing hard, I smirked in triumph when she let out a sharp gasp. I flipped her over so now I was on top our slow kissing session quickly got more heated, our tongues starting to battle for dominance. I started running my hands up and down her curves.

After a while, I pulled away to look down at her big brown eyes. I caress her face with my thumb and smile down at her. "You're so fucking beautiful." I leaned down to kiss her soft, luscious lips. "I love you." I gently whispered to her.

"I lo-"

I was quickly woken up by one of the flight attendant's. "Sir, wake up the plane just landed." As she walked away, she giggled and muttered "Ah, young love," to herself. What did I say in my sleep?

I realize that I have a big dopey smile on my face and quickly snap out of it, I also had a boner that I tried to hide by crossing my legs together, I could feel my face heating up, well this was embarassing. I looked over to see a fat guy that was sitting next to me smiling. "Oh can it." I tell him before he could say anything.

Not even a second after I grabbed all of my luggage, I was bombarded by someone hugging me from behind. I was about to go in self-defense mode and kick some ass until I suddenly realized it was just ma. Eh, what the hell. I gave my ma a huge hug back, I really did miss her. "Hi Ma."

"Oh Duncan, honey!" she cooed. She finally released me and took a good look at me. "We've missed you so much." She grabbed one of my duffel bags and gestured me to follow. "C'mon, I made you your favorite for dinner, cheesy mashed potatoes with sweet potatoes fries." Hell yeah!

Dinner was super uncomfortable at first, everyone kept staring at me in silence. I knew they all had a lot of questions like have I gotten suspended, grounded, blah-blah-blah. It was like none of them wanted to be the first to speak. After ten or so minutes of uncomfortable silence, my ma was the first to speak. "So honey, how is your new, made any new friends?"

"A few." I replied before taking a bite into one of my fries

"Any of them delinquents?" My dad rudely asks.

Ma gave him scowled at him. "Russell!"

"What, I don't want him getting into more trouble over there." Ma only rolled her eyes at my dad's response. "Duncan, sweetie, why don't you tell us about the girls."

"Well Jasmine's a really chatty lesbian that loves the theatre and is directing a school play that she wrote and Courtney's an uptight prep that wants to be a lawyer."

"That'll be useful for us in the future when your ass lands in jail again." My dad mumbled. My dad was such a fucking prick, he just looks at me as a criminal with no future.

"Russell. A word." Ma spat through her teeth. Before my dad could say anything else, ma grabbed his ear and dragged him off to the kitchen.

While my parents were arguing in the kitchen, my older brother, Zane, nudged me and whispered, "So have the straight one yet?" I smacked his shoulder and glared at him. "Jeez, no need to get so pissy about it."

"Does she not put out?" My other older brother, Waylen asked.

"No, She's not that kind of girl!" Shit, that wasn't suppose too defensively.

"Aww, does someone have a wittle crush?" Zane mocked in a baby voice. While Waylen made little kissy faces at me.

"I don't like her at all, I just want to sleep with her and that's it…yea!" They both looked like they didn't believe me and laughed. You get so much shit when you're the youngest. "Oh fuck you guys." I stood up and headed for the door, tell mom and dad I left to kick it with Scott." It hasn't even been one night and I'm already done with my family.

"Do you think I should try getting laid in this?" I jokingly asked Anastasia as I showed her a big ass wedding dress that looked like it was from the 70's, it had the huge shoulder pads and long sleeves and there were yellow stains splatted everywhere. Not to mention, it smelled like my grandparent's basement.

"I will seriously give you $50 bucks if you do" She then put on a brown leather beret with a porn stache. "How hot do I look?"

I laughed. "Good luck getting laid looking like a creepy pedophile porn filmer." We both started laughing really hard. Anastasia was super cool, she was also really into the arts as well and is going to be a part of my play even though she doesn't go to my school. She goes to that one art school that I really wanted to go to but my parents wouldn't let me because I won't get into a good, prestigious college with a high school that mainly focuses on art. I hate my parents sometimes. I was both happy and sad at the moment because Gwen and I used to come to the thrift shop every weekend and do this kind of shit. I tried to avoid all thoughts of Gwen as much as possible. Plus, Anastasia is a hot Russian girl who's bi-sexual, so…..

God it felt so good to ride my motorcycle again. My dad said he would send it with me to Calgary if I stayed out of trouble for the first half of the year, which I did. I missed my baby so much, it always brought out my inner badassness. I parked next to Scott's barn and was about to head in until I heard a girl moan Scott's name while Scott sounded like he was panting real heavily, about time he finally got some action. An idea suddenly came into my mind, I got out my phone and started playing police sirens from my phone. I put my hand on my mouth to keep myself from laughing out loud as soon as I heard Scott start panicking and cursing

They came out within fifteen seconds or so with their clothes on backwards. Their worried looks quickly turned to anger once they saw me. I started laughing really hard, almost dropping my phone into the mud. "Aww shit, you should've seen the look on your faces!"

Scott looked like he was about to beat the shit out of me. "Dude, WHAT THE FUCK?"

"That was totally rude and immature, sir!" The girl screeched. Wait, wasn't that the girl who read auras and shit? Oh yea, right before I left for Calgary, Scott had a denial crush on her, kind of like of Courtney is with me.

"Nice to see you're finally getting laid." I told him once my laughter died down.

"Yea, you know Dawn, it's our 16 weeks anniversary!" He said proudly, wrapping his arm around her, pulling her closer in.

I chuckled. "You mean four months." He responded back by giving me the middle finger.

"So you're the Duncan that Scott always talks about, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Dawn greeted, sticking out her hand. I just smiled and shook her hand. "I'll let the crude prank slide this time since you're having such negative conflict with your family right." I didn't even know how to respond other than just staring at her. Was she actually a human being, like she can't be that good? I looked over at Scott, he gave an, 'I told you so,' look. "I also notice some green in your aura right now, Duncan. Green is the color of envy, is there something that you envy Scott of?" I looked at her with a confused look. I mean I guess I was a little jealous that was already dating his crush and I wasn't. "Is it because of our relationship?" Damn, it's like she read my mind.

"I-I-guess…" I admitted to her.

Scott looked dumbfounded and somewhat upset. "Wait, you actually have feelings for someone and you never told me?"

"Guys don't talk about feelings, dumbass." I told him flatly. Scott was actually the only straight guy who did talk about his feelings.

Dawn was sitting on bench, patting a spot next to her for me to join, wait when-how did she get over there? This chick was kind of creeping me out but I decided to tell her about my relationship with Courtney. I took a spot next to her. "So Duncan, tell me about this girl."

I let out a deep sigh. "Well for starters her Name is Courtney, she's one of those uptight preppy goody- goody kind of girls. She pisses me off sometimes but she also makes me really happy. I always want to be around her, she's the main reason, well the only reason why I want to stay in Calgary. Every time I'm around her, my heart beats loudly, my stomach gets little fluttery things-"

"Butterflies?" Dawn asked.

"Yeah! I didn't expect her to be such a great friend. Lately she's all I think about 24/7, all I can think about is holding her and kissing her. I've never wanted to be with someone more than her. She's incredibly gorgeous and it sucks that she can't see that….I think- I think I'm in love with her." That was the first time I admitted it out loud that I actually loved her.

"Love is such a beautiful thing, you find beauty in everything your loved one does." She beamed over at Scott who was sniffing his pits. Scott never got along with his family either, they just ignored him and payed most of their attention on his younger siblings, I knew Scott wanted someone who gave him attention and would be there when he needed to vent. That's probably why he would always try to talk about his feelings with me. Plus most girls get turned off by his poor hygiene. She turned her focus back to me. "You should tell Courtney how you feel!"

"I don't know…" I don't know if I was ready for that yet.

"Duncan, you must overcome your fear of rejection, it's better to face the truth now than to never at all." She's right, I needed to tell Courtney as soon as I got home.

I decided to go over to Noah's house since I don't spend that much time with him. We were supposed to plan for our spirit week that was happening the week after winter break but ended up watching Orange is the new black.

"John Bennett is the only man I'd be okay with arresting me." Noah said.

I laughed. "Is that the only reason why you watch this?"

He scoffed. "Please! I also like to watch for the powerful feminist messages they show too, plus I love making fun of that religious girl." We sat there on his couch eating popcorn in silence until he lowered the volume of the t.v. "So speaking of criminals, how is yours doing?"

I smiled when I thought of Duncan. "He's not my boyfriend!" 'You keep denying that.' Stupid inner conscience, you don't know what you're talking about!

He snickered. "That smile says otherwise."

I scoffed and playfully slapped his shoulder. "You are such a little shit sometimes, you know!"

He let out an evil laugh. "I know."

"You know we never talk about your love life." Part of me wanted to change the subject of Duncan while the other part was actually curious. Noah has been out of the closet for a little over a year now and no boyfriends, no hookups, nothing.

"Ok, let me just snap my fingers to make my perfect boyfriend appear." Noah is super sarcastic about everything, especially if it's to avoid actually talking about his feelings. "But seriously, what's the deal between you and Duncan? You guys are always around each other and sometimes it looks like you guys are super flirty with each other. Are you guys like secret fuck buddies or something?"

"God no!" Do we really flirt that much? "We are just friends, ok! And besides, I'm not the kind of girl to sleep around having one night stands 24/7. I don't want to sleep with Duncan until we're dating!" Oops…

Noah finally paused the T.V. and stared at me before bursting out laughing. "So you want to be fuck him!" he continued to laugh. "You're totally into him, I fucking knew it!"

I could feel my face heating up. "No!" My voice cracked. I saw Noah shake his head, still laughing through my peripheral vision. "I don't!"

But I secretly kind of wanted to…. And maybe I wanted him to be my boyfriend…

Two weeks went by way too fast. I was glad to see my family again even though they pissed me of a lot but I wanted to go back to Calgary, to see Courtney and tell her how I really feel about her. I wasn't too worried with rejection, I knew she liked me back. Dawn told me to not make any rude, perverted comments. She had me practiced what I was going to say to her and in a weird way, it kind of helped.

"BOY GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE, YOU HAVE A VISITOR!" My dad yelled.

I went downstairs to the front door and immediately stopped when I saw who was at the front door, the girl who was part of the reason why I got moved in the first place, Zoey.

Aw shit cliffhanger! what do you think Zoey wants? fun story: that scene where Duncan plays the police sirens as a joke in the middle of Scott and Dawn having sex, my friend did that to me and my ex when we were hooking up in his car, I just feel like that's something Duncan would do to Scott if they were ever friends.
