SEXUAL ENCOUTER 2 novel Chapter 5

I dread going to school every morning, why? Get out of the way freak someone shoved me against the wall. That's why.

Since I came out as gay my school life has become a living hell and I have gone from one of the popular crowd to the social pariah of the school.

Homo freak another boy said as I bent down to pick my books. Then I had the voice I both dreaded and longed for, my best friend, now turned nemesis.

Travis has been my best friends since forever but when I came out as gay he turned his back on me and the worse of it all is this stupid crush I have had on him.

When the others bully me it doesn't hurt as much, but when is Travis doing it the pain is so much more, maybe because of our history or these feelings I have tried so long to lose.

"Here is the gay boy," Travis said in his taunting voice as he and his crew got to my locker.

His friends or rather my formal friends all laughed.

My eyes closed as they taunted me, "bastard!" I cursed underneath my voice.

"What did you say?" Travis shouted shoving me against the wall as he held me on the neck.

I looked into his eyes it was the eyes of the boy I knew but couldn't recognize anymore.

I watched his face draw close to mine and my treacherous heart started pounding as my gaze narrowed on his lips, it was so full and very kissable, I wonder what will happen if I leaned forward and just laid it on him.

The weird thought and the imagination of Travis's reaction were so funny that I started laughing out loud. The look of 'is he going insane' across the guy's faces made me laugh more.

"Is he going crazy or shit?" said one of the guys in confusion.

"Maybe he is laughing at us" another suggested.

"Let's just fuck him up," another said harshly and I just stood there unable to wipe the laugh off my face.

"Am sorry" Travis whispered into my ears making my heart skip.

"What?" I asked softly before the pain of a blow to my stomach gave me a clue to what he was apologizing for.

I pushed him away because I wasn't going to just stand there and watch him hit me. His taunting I can take hitting me hell no.

The surprised look on his face would have been comical if I wasn't busy defending myself from the other guys who rushed me as I shoved Travis away from me.

"What's going on here?" a teacher asked interrupting the fight.

"Nothing MA," Travis said flashing his charming smile at the female teacher.

I rolled my eyes at him but when I saw the woman look in my direction, "nothing is going on teach," I said trying to pretend that I wasn't in pain from all the blows I received from the guys.

She shook her head whether at me for not saying anything or the guys I don't know.

"You guys should head to your classes," she said dismissing us.

Instead of going to the class, I headed towards the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, I raised my shirt to see the bruises forming at my side I touched it flinched from the pain.

"Am sorry" a voice said from behind me at the same time a hand stroked my skin.

I jumped at the voice and shivered from the touch. I looked into the mirror to see Travis staring back at me his blue eyes full of regret.

I quickly brought down my shirt and turned to leave.

"Please don't leave" he whispered caging me against the counter.

His nearness was arousing feelings in me that I shouldn't be feeling for him.

"Why?" I asked looking at him, my voice filled with hurt.

"Am so sorry for hurting you" he said in a regret-filled tone, stroking my cheeks, and the next thing he was leaning towards me.

My eyes widened as his lips drew closer and then they were on mine.
