Tales of a Gay Teenager
Chapter 6
Mark: Hello?
Me: Oh yeah yeah, Uhm Hi. Iam Sam
Mark: Hi Sam, Iam Mark.
Me: Nice to meet you too..Mark
Mark: Nice to meet you too Sam.
Jordan: Okay this is akward, it's like y'all already know each other
Me: What? No! I hardly ever go out, so I don't know him.
Mark: Yeah, I haven't met you before although you look familiar
Me: Me? Hahaha you don't know me
Mark: I think I do
Jordan: Don't stress yourself too much hun, Mark had an accident recently and he's got a problem with his memory.
Me: Ohhh so, you can't remember some things
Mark: Yeah but most of the time, I sit down and try to think deep so that I can recall that memory.
Kevin: Maybe you guys saw each other somewhere in the mall or something
Me: Yeah yeah I think so too.
We went back to class and left Mark and Jordan outside.
Jordan: It's only you and me now, wanna bunk class?
Mark: Nah, I need to attend my maths extra classes.
Jordan: Okay cool, I'll just chill out..alone
Mark: What's his name again?
Jordan: Who? Sam?
Mark: Yeah..Sam, Sam.
School went on as usual, and it was home time. Kevin and Cassie got into Kane's car and I decided to walk back home like I normally do.
I stopped by a toy shop and decided to buy a big teddy bear for my room, Mark was there. By a twist of things...we chose the same teddy bear:
Me: He's mine
Mark: But I chose him first
Me: Your hand was way far before I reached first
Mark: No it wasn't, I came to the shop first therefore I got the teddy first
Me: No I saw the teddy first, he's the one who stole my heart and Iam the one who's going to steal him
Mark: Not unless Iam here
Me: What's gonna stop me, if you're here?
Mark: Magics
Me: I can't believe you still believe in magic after a whole three years
Mark: How did you know?
Me: Uhm, I just..guessed
Mark: Sam
Me: Oh wowz you can still remember my name
Mark: I do remember your name. And it feels like there was something in the past that I just cant get my mind into it.
Me: [What if he remembers me] Uhm stop worrying yourself about this, you will remember somehow.
Mark: Oh well it's fine, in any case are you available tomorrow
Me: Uhm I was thinking of going out with Ke..no actually nevermind I have no plans
Mark: Cool, can we hang out at my house?
Mark: We are just going to play video games
Me: Sure, yeah I'll be there
Mark: at 8?
Me: Yeah.
After the teddy issue was sorted, we walked together to home and he went on going back home. I arrived at home, took off my uniform and wore casual outfit. Everyone was at home except for Gabriel, who was still at work. I found my Mom in her bedroom, going through Gabriel's old box.
Me: Hey Mom, whatcha doing?
Mom: Oh honey Iam just cleaning up and sorting out these stuff. This bedroom is a mess.
Me: Don't we have maids to do that?
Mom: Argh, I need to get used to having someone to clean over my mess, besides I even forget that they are even here
Me: I don't wanna lie, but I also forget that they are here. It's like they are walls
Us: [We both laughed]
Mom: Ahh a tape!
Me: it must be, Gabriel's younger self
Mom: Should we watch it
Me: Don't you wanna know how your husband was during his childhood years?
We went to the tv room, and played the tape. It started out as Gabriel's younger self trying to eat fried prawns.
Us: [We both laughed]
Suddenly she stopped laughing and her smile quickly frowned. I hurried to look at the tv and what we saw was disturbing.
Mom: Turn it off!
Me: [The remote stopped working] it doesn't want to
Mom: Turn it off!
Me: I can't!
My Mom got up and pulled the tv out from the wall and dropped it to the ground in rage.
Me: Mom are you okay?
Mom: My husband..
Me: Mom?
Mom: how am I supposed to be okay, when my husband is fucking other men!!
Me: Mom calm down please
Mom: No I will not, Gabriel is not gay. It's photoshopped
Me: Mom..I have to tell you something
Mom: What?
Kevin, Cassie, Anna and Keisha rushed inside
Cas: What happened?
Me: Mom saw a horrifying movie and she panicked and accidentally hit the tv to fall down
Kevin: Wow, Diana that's some man power you got there
I turned over and looked at my Mom, who got disgusted everytime the word "man" comes up.
Me: [I hugged her] Go get some water okay? And some sleep.
Cassie and Herald helped to pick up the tv. Keisha and Anna accompanied my mother to the kitchen.
Kevin: Hey Sam, don't forget about our secret movie night
Me: Oh Kevin about that..Uhm Sarah asked me to help her with chemistry homework.
Kevin: Homework? How come I don't know any of that?
Me: No no it's just something like..revision
Kevin: Oh
Me: yeah, so I won't be able to stay up with you
Kevin: Okay it's fine. Tomorrow then?
Me: yeah tomorrow.
I didn't know if was making the right decision, by ditching me and Kevin's movie night to play video games with Mark. A few hours later, I got ready and went inside the car, Kane was driving.
Kane: Hello Sir
Me: Stop calling me sir, how about Sam?
Kane: Okay, Sam. Where are you going at night
Me: To a friend's house
....Continuation...
Me: To a friend's house
Kane: You do realise that once Gabriel gets home, he expects everyone to be at the dinner table for dinner
Me: It doesn't matter, it's not like we are family or anything
Kane: It does matter, because you are family
Kane: What Iam trying to say is, if you're gonna multitask it's an automatic sacrifice that's gonna leave a wound in your life forever
Me: I never really wanted my mother to get married to him. He's a jerk.
Kane: a jerk that your mother fall in love with
Me: Why are you giving me a whole life lesson?
Kane: Because I care for you
Me: Thanks, but I have my real family who cares about me.
Kane: you know there's a saying that says "you don't realise something precious in your life until its gone"
Me: Well, I do. Just drive, I'll forward you the address.
It took half an hour to get to Mark's house. And I set a time limit for myself that I would stay for atleast 2 hours. I finally arrived at Mark's house. He was waiting for me at the door.
Mark: Hey Sam
[We hugged]
Me: How's it going on?
Mark: Iam cool though, wanna come in?
Me: Sure.
I sat down on a long grey couch infront of a big smart flat screen TV. He offered me apple juice, which was one of my friends
Me: oh thanks[he sat down besides me]
Mark: So, can you tell me more about yourself?
Me: What's more to know about me, Iam just Sam
Mark: Oh come on, Iam just trying to get to know you better. Okay I'll start[He told me almost everything about himself]
Me: Whoah hold on, I'll stop you right there. You are into anime?
[Something I never thought Mark was into, and that was animated stuff]
Mark: Yeah I love Anime
Me: Wow, how come I never paid attention into that
Mark: Because you just met me
Me: Oh, yeah haha I just met you[Sarcastically]
I took a sip of my juice. He connected the game and we started playing.
For like two hours we were still playing, until I decided to go:
Me: Damn, I lost again. Anyways, let me head home it was so fun.
Mark: Yeah it was so good getting to know you, but why are you leaving so soon?
Me: Soon? You are calling this soon? We have been playing since 9 o Clock.
Mark: So? You really make great company
Me: Where's Annelisa?
Mark: She went on a business trip...wait how do you know my mother?
Me: Uhm, I..
Mark: You know me..right?
Mark: Who are you, Sam?
Me: I can't answer that question.
I reached for the door, he closed it held my hand. We were looking at each other but I looked away.
Me: Can you back away please
He got more closer, I was breathing heavily. I looked at him again.
Mark: Who were you in my past life?
Me: Iam just an ordinary teenager
Mark: Sam?
Me: Mark?
Mark: You are Sam
Me: You can remember now?
Mark: Yes, I remember everything about us clear now. All the memories I can see them
Mark: I know, it ended in an uneasy way. But we can try again, if you give me a chance
Me: I can't do that Mark
Mark: Why?
Me: Me and Kevin are..
Someone knocked at the door. We opened and it was Jordan
Us: Jordan?
Jordan: Heyy, Sam what are you doing here?
Me: I came to help Mark catch up with work
Jordan: Catching up with work huh? I see video games, popcorns, and confetti too!
Mark: It's not what you think
Jordan: you know what, Iam down for this what. Iam outta here
Mark chased after Jordan.
Mark: Jordan please let me explain
Jordan: Yeah you better explain, do you guys know each other
Mark: Yes we were dating before
Jordan: Do you still love him?
Mark: Jordan, we have been dating for almost a year now..
Jordan: oh and I don't know that? Mark Iam not some tv you can turn on and off. So please stay away from me
Mark: Jordan I love you
Jordan: But you love him too
Mark: I..
Jordan: Prove that you love me. Do something, anything
Mark: I will
Jordan: you will? In the meantime I'll be riding other dudes to get you outta my mind.
Mark: Jordan wait!
Jordan: bye Mark, enjoy your reunion with your long lost love.
Jordan left, I took my schoolbag and went too.
Mark: Sam, where are you going?
Me: Home, where else
Mark: No don't, stay.
Me: why should I?
He kissed me. I pushed him and stopped
Me: I can't do this with you again.
Mark: One more chance
I texted Kevin saying that I'll be back home the next day.
We kissed again and we went upstairs, I left my phone on top of the couch and message notifications were coming in of Kevin's missed calls. I completely ignored them and went upstairs with Mark.
I guess Iam spending the night there, isn't it awesome.
