CHAPTER 31

     [ Derek ]

As soon as I saw Calvin breeze past the double door entrance of the school, I practically kicked my feet into a run and sprinted to him, catching him off guard when I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into my chest. I heard him groan in annoyance, but I didn't let that sway my decision to hold onto him for dear life.

"I missed you," I murmured into his hair as I kissed the top of his forehead.

Calvin grunted. "You saw me yesterday."

"Yeah, but it feels like forever." He let go of another grunt, hinting that he wasn't really enjoying this, so I reluctantly let go of him. "How you feeling?"

It had been a whole week since Calvin told his mom the truth about what was going on. It was safe to say that she had a panic attack for a good twenty or so minutes, but when she finally got her shit together, she took care of it. And by that, she made sure Tanner got what he deserved by sending him to juvie for attempted rape. Frenchy was a bit harder to deal with, since we didn't have any solid proof on him and he had such good connections, but she managed to file a restraining order against him. He still got to breathe the same air as us, but he had to stay fifty feet away while doing it.

But Claire didn't stop there. As a punishment for getting himself involved in all that shit without telling her first, she grounded Calvin and banned us from seeing each other outside of school. As you can imagine, that was pretty hard to do considering the last time I saw him outside of school, we had sex and it was the best experience of my life. Who knew that I would have actually liked having sex with a boy, especially Calvin? I preferred that over the whole sucking dick thing and I would be lying if I said I didn't want to do it a thousand times over.

He shrugged. "It's okay, I guess. It's kinda boring without you."

"Yeah, your mom is such a-" I stopped mid-sentence when I noticed the glare Calvin was giving me, "-sorry, uh, your mom is amazing."

He gave me a nod of approval and reached for my hand, letting his fingers intertwine with mine. We walked alongside each other through the school's hallways, hand in hand, and not giving a damn about anyone who looked our way. With Frenchy tamed and Tanner out of the picture, no one bothered us anymore. The only thing they still cared enough to do was stare at us, which I could handle, but it still made Calvin self-conscious.

He clutched my hand tighter and leaned into me, which made me snap his attention to him. "You okay?"

"Yeah," he said in a bare whisper. He glanced up at me with those beautiful blue-grey eyes of his. "My mom's going on a date tonight. Maybe you can come over and we can do something."

Somehow, I already knew what he was suggesting before he even had the chance to clarify. "Yeah," I agreed with a cheeky grin. "I looked at some gay porn websites and there's some really cool positions that I wanna try."

Calvin stopped in his long strides, yanking his hand away from mine and staring back at me with bewildered eyes. "What?" he asked in pure disbelief.

"What?" I questioned.

"I wasn't talking about sex..." he pointed out with his lips slowly turning into a frown. "I meant that we could go out to eat or something, like on a date?"

I crinkled my nose in confusion. "A date?" I repeated. The word sounded so wrong coming from my mouth. "What? Why?"

"Because that's what couples do," he retaliated quickly. There was a slight hint of annoyance in his voice and I couldn't understand why.
