Alan POV

This summer has been pretty cool. I spent a lot of time hanging out at the beach and skating at the park. In the evenings I took out my acoustic guitar I got as a gift from my parents. There were moments when I would just sit in my room with lights slightly dimmed and play.
It's a shame me and my friends don't go to the same school. I get to see them quite often though. I don't really hang out with anyone else like I do with Tino, Phil and Aaron. They're like brothers to me and I've known them since I was like 7. I call them The 3 mouseketeers. We know eachother very well and get along perfectly.

I'm gay and nobody knows, except Tino, Aaron, Phil and my parents. It's not like I'm afraid, I just don't want to watch people staring at me and blurting out judgemental shit like You're sick, you need to be treated and so on. Why would I, if I don't have to. Simple.

I don't really like to complicate things.

I only had one boyfriend and it lasted for almost a year. We kept it a secret because niether of us wanted to come out at school. We ended it when he had to go away to college. There was nothing I could do, except get over it. Which I did. I am now ready for a real boyfriend, the one who wouldn't leave me because We're walking different paths blah blah, I'll never forget you, you know we can't do this long distance thing… Poor excuses, I'll say.

Can't believe school starts tomorrow. The summer was over so fast, but I need balance and learning is alright for me. I never had problems with my grades, they were always good.

I already got all the books and workbooks, so I opened my closet in order to pick tomorrow's outfit. Then I remembered my wardrobe is awesome and anything I wear looks good. Lol.
I did pick in the end, just to avoid being late in the morning. I decided to rock my new Suicide Silence tank top and black skinny jeans. They would go great with my new red Vans sneakers I bought a week ago.

Next thing on the list was showering, I needed it badly. The heat has been killing me all summer. Then I just went straight to bed.

A ray of sunshine woke me up as I moaned how I don't want to get out of bed. Then my mom stepped into the room.

''Alan, wake up honey. You're gonna be late.'' Her voice was piercing through me.

''Yeah, yeah.'' I moaned into my pillow and hid under the blanket.

I eventually got up, brushed my teeth and got dressed. I also grabbed my sunglasses and my backpack and left. I walked to school every morning because it was close. I grabbed a bite on the way, a donut with vanilla glaze, my absolute favorite. I always had my headphones with me, listening to music. I really can't live without that, so yeah.

I arrived to school about 10 minutes before the first period started. I walked to my locker and unlocked it. I was totally spaced out, lip-synching, putting my books in and I didn't hear anything.

Then I felt someone poking my arm. I turned around and saw probably the hottest guy ever. He had short, perfectly styled black hair, breathtaking brown eyes and a nose ring. I could see he had a couple of tattoos, which I love and a few light brown freckles on his face.

''Hi.'' He greeted. ''I was wondering if you could help me with the schedule?''
I kept staring at him until he waved in front of my face, snapping me out of my daydreaming. I quickly put off my headphones.

''What?'' I asked.

''Oh good, you're still with me.'' He joked and showed me a smile that I won't forget for a long time. ''I said if you could help me. I'm supposed to pick up my schedule at the office, but I don't know where that is.''

''Ye-y-yeah, sure.'' I replied.
My palms started sweating as I was waiting for him. He opened his locker (it was right next to mine) and stuck his sweater in.

''Ready.'' He said and grinned. All I could think was wow.
''Follow me, it's right this way.'' I walked and did my breathing excercise quietly. It helped when I was a little nervous.

A minute later we arrived to the office.
''And here we are.'' I pointed at the door. ''Go to that desk, Miss Harelson will help you.''
I turned around, wanting to leave when he said: ''I'm Austin. And thank you.''

I turned back to him. ''I'm Alan and no problem.'' He reached out his hand for me to shake. My palms were all sweaty but I couldn't just wipe them against my jeans in front of him because it would look stupid. So I just shook his hand.

''Nice to meet you man.'' He said. He seemed very nice and outgoing. I liked it.
''Likewise. I'm gonna head to class, I guess I'll see you later.'' I said and whipped my hair a little to the side.
''Sure, thanks again. See ya!'' He, again, showed me his pretty smile before he stepped into the office.

I went to my first class, I had American History. Right on time. I mostly sit in front because those stupid jocks always deconcentrate everyone who sits in the back.
I am personally not a fan of ''popular'' kids. I would never associate with stupid slutty cheerleaders and the football team that consists of dumb jerks who think they're cooler than everyone else.

It's just a no no for me.

A few minutes later I heard someone stepping into the classroom. I turned around and saw Austin. You have got to be kidding me.

''Is this American History by uhm… Mr. Johnson?'' I heard him read from his schedule.
''Yes, that would be it. You must be new… Austin, right?'' Said Mr. Johnson.
''Correct.'' Austin replied and approached his desk.

''Class, we have a new student joining us today, his name is Austin Carlile and he moved here from Seattle. I want you all to be nice… Austin, take a seat next to Mr. Benson in the back.''
Everybody started whispering something about his tattoos and style. They weren't used to it. It was similar to mine but I like it, it suits him perfectly.

''Alright class, settle down and open your books on chapter one and let's begin.''
I turned around and saw Austin wave to me and say Hey Alan, I could read his lips. I waved back and gave him a sour grin.

He fascinated me, it was something about his eyes, the energy he possessed. He was just too intriguing to miss.
