With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear - Chapter 2
Masterpost
Alex had learned the hard way about the consequences about being bi early. Obviously, considering who his dad was, no one actually did anything to him. It was just what they all said and thought of him behind his back that hurt him. How some people that seemed so genuinely nice to him actually hated him hurt. He always knew who he could trust and not, and sometimes even that sucked. Everything started to suck when you could hear other peoples thoughts.
Nothing was ever exciting anymore. He always knew the persons next move or what they were going to say before they said it. Just simple things like that. Earlier he had loved to discuss different topics either it was politics or whatever, simply because he liked not knowing what the other part would say next and he always had to think fast but still have a good answer. Now he could think through his exact answer immediately because he knew what the other would say. It took away most of his joys in life.
Alex liked Fridays and Saturdays, because on Fridays and Saturdays he could get drunk and when he got drunk it was close to impossible to hear others thoughts. When he first drank it wasn't to have fun, it was to get drunk as fuck so he could take his mind off other minds. Of course this he hadn't discovered before the same year now. If he had known about this earlier he would probably be a raging alcoholic that lived on the streets so he was kinda happy for that.
Of course there wasn't just bad sides to it. On hard tests where he was sure he would fail because he preferred to hang out with his friends and play guitar and sing instead of studying, he could just ask his teacher for help on almost every question and obviously the teacher would think about the answer and voila.
Much like now actually, he was in the middle of a math test and it was only two weeks into the school year. Why the teachers decided to give them hard as fuck tests so early in the school year was beyond Alex. He was sitting next to Rian and Rian's thoughts was pretty much the same as Alex's.
What the fuck?
Who actually understands this shit?
I'm never going to use this later. It's fucking algebra, I don't need algebra later in life dammit.
This is what we have computers for you retards.
'Focus, Alex,' he urged himself but it didn't help at all.
Math class was finally over and Alex collected his books and walked to his locker. He had just picked out his books for history.
'Ouch! What the fuck man?!'
Of course Zack had to punch him all the time after tests.
'It's not fair that you don't know shit and yet you get A's and B's on like every fucking test,' he pouted.
Alex cooed and wrapped his arms around Zack and kissed his cheek and left a wet trail.
'Almost worse than snail trails on your jeans,' he said and made a gagging noise. They all just stood there and laughed and talked until they realized they were way late for history.
'Wanna skip?'
'Yeah, we can ask Jack if he wants to skip with us too,' Alex said and he could feel the pink creeping up his skin.
'You like him! Oh my God, it's so obvious you want his dick!' Zack gasped and laughed.
'Shut the fuck up, he's coming.'
Zack and Rian turned around and looked probably ten times before they realized that yeah, Alex can hear his mind and therefore knows when he's coming and not.
Alex grinned when he thought about what Jack usually thought about. Sometimes it would be how awesome the new guitar riff he had learned to play would be, or a new song he wanted to learn, sometimes he sang in his head and it was adorable, especially when he tried to rap. Sometimes it was mental freak outs because he had forgotten the essay he was supposed to write about Shakespeare and his works or how much he hated P.E and didn't care if he failed or not.
The soon that had crept its way on Alex's face was soon replaced by a frown when he heard what Jack was thinking now.
Fuck, I hope John is still in his car. Last time I was late he didn't even wait for me and had finished him off himself. Who the fuck leaves a horny teenage boy alone in a car to jerk off to a fucking mental image about their latest fuck? Only John, dammit. Should probably hurry up if I don't want it to end like that.
'Dude, are you alright?' Rian asked concerned and waved his hand in front of Alex's face a couple of times.
'Uh-huh,' he nodded and he wanted more than anything to avoid Jack now. He didn't want to know that Jack had a fuck toy on his side. Why Alex was suddenly so jealous was maybe because he had tried to get John for a few months now, but that fucker only gave him a blowjob at a party and then left him. How Jack could get him so fast was beyond Alex. And maybe a part of Alex was so jealous because he didn't want Jack to have anyone else than him. Didn't want Jack to think about anyone else than him. Of course Alex would know that Jack thought he was hot, and the feeling was indeed mutual.
Maybe it was because Alex had heard Jack's thoughts when they were at a party last weekend and they were dancing to the music, grinding playfully on each other and then he had heard it.
I wonder what it would be like kissing Alex. I wonder if he tastes like alcohol or if he tastes like ... well, like Alex would taste like.
Yeah, just that simple thought had made Alex so much more aware of what Jack did that night. He watched Jack grinding up on other girls and guys, making out with them and Alex was just so damn jealous that Jack made out with anyone else than him. Jack wasn't supposed to do that when he had just been thinking about Alex like that. At least not in Alex's head.
'Hey, we should probably get going. How about some Tacobell?' Rian suggested and rubbed his hands together and grinned.
Fuck, I can't let them see me go to John's car.
Alex turned around and saw Jack waiting against a locker.
Alex, what the fuck?!
'Hey Jack! Wanna come to Tacobell with us?' Alex yelled across the hallway and the look on Jack's face was really pissed off.
'Sorry, I can't. My mom is sick and I have to go back to her like right now,' he said.
Well done, Jack.
'That sucks man, let us know how she's doing later, huh? Come and walk with us to your car at least,' Alex smirked and folded his arms across his chest.
'Ah, I'd love to but my car is on the other end of the parking lot. See you later, though?' he offered and walked away from them.
The car ride to Tacobell was filled with gossip about who had slept with who that weekend since Lisa and Kara decided to carpool with them. It amused Alex, it was always fun hearing girls bitch about other girls. He sure was happy that he wasn't a girl, that was for sure. Plus, gay guys didn't have to wait for a week to have sex. Well, unless you actually wanted to stick your peen in a bloody vagina. Alex didn't wanna do that anyways, bloody or not.
'Hey, we should totally go on a road trip this weekend!' Kara exclaimed when they had gotten their food at Tacobell.
Everyone nodded in agreement and Alex was happy that Zack was the one who wanted to bring Jack with them. Kara and Lisa had agreed too because they thought Jack seemed like an alright guy.
'I'll ask him later today,' Alex offered. 'I think I'm the only one of us who actually has his number so yeah..' he quickly shot in.
'Where are we gonna go though?' Rian asked.
'I don't know. If we go on Friday and leave Sunday night we can go to like, New York?'
'That hardly counts as a road trip, Lisa. It's not even far,' Alex sighed dramatically. 'It would be fun to go to Florida,' he suggested.
'Yeah, it would. But you know, it takes so many hours to drive there. Why can't we go a place like eight hours away? Plenty of time to get drunk and have fun,' Zack said cheerfully.
'New Hampshire is like eight hours away or something.. But isn't that just .... nature?'
'Screw that, we're going to Ocean City, renting a house for the weekend and get drunk and go on the beach and lots of fun shit,' Rian grins and everyone agrees, because even if it's just like two hours away, maybe four considering it's them, it's still gonna be fun as hell.
When Alex got back home he picked up his phone to call Jack. He sat on the edge of his bed for probably five minutes just looking at his name and the picture Jack had attached to it. It was him making the ugliest face ever, but he still looked really cute in Alex's eyes.
Finally he picked up the courage and pressed the dial button.
'You're speaking to the one and only Jack Bassam Barakat,' he said smoothly when he answered the phone.
'Bassam, that's a fucking gay name,' Alex mocked and he could hear Jack laugh on the other end.
'Well, it's my dad's name so shut up. What did you want anyways?'
'We're going on a road trip this weekend and wondered if you wanted to come with us. It's not far away, just Ocean City but it's better than nothing I guess.'
'Define 'we'.'
'Me, Rian, Zack, Kara and Lisa this far.'
'Yeah, I don't see why not. Inform me on the details later will you? I gotta go now. My mom is err .. throwing up,' he said when someone called his name in the background and Alex was fairly sure that it was not a woman's voice. If so, his mom had to be pretty manly. He sighed and threw his phone on a pile of clothes and laid back in his bed. At least Jack was coming with them and that was something he was really excited for.
