„Oh, look, the geek. Hey, Connor, what are you doing here?“
„Val day is not made geeks, geek.“
Casey sighed inwardly. Usually he knew to avoid the mall at a Friday afternoon, but today he had been out of films for his camera and decided to make the best out of the trip. A longer stop at the second-hand book shop and a visit of Annie's milkbar; Annie did make the most delicious blueberry muffins ever. Finally some shopping for Val Day, for the people close to his heart. And, of course, here he did run into the jocks from the school's football team.
He decided, the best he could do was to ignore the teasing; at least they wouldn't bully him openly here. Browsing through the selves with perfume be finally found what he was looking for. Smiling wide he grabbed for a glass flacon of 'Durga,' formed like a heart. A bit expensive, but his mom's favorite scent at the moment.
„Uhhh, Connor has a secret girlfriend.“
„Who is the poor girl?“
„Or maybe he's buying this shit for himself? That's so faggy.“
People already started to look at them with a mixture of amusement and pity. Casey huffed annoyed; enough was enough. Probably he would regret it later, but he turned around, staring at the three jocks with narrowed eyes. „Don't you have anything better to do? Stop this bullshit and just leave me alone.“
„Hey, watch your mouth.“
„You are talking with us, fag, boy? How can you dare it?“
„Hey, Casey, here you are.“
He stiffened in every movement. Oh no, not this, too. Zeke Tyler, well known as the bad boy and the heartbreaker of Herrington High. The last he had wanted to run into, even if his unexpected appearance had silenced the jocks at least for a short moment. They showed Zeke some respect, though he was none of them anymore. He had played in the team for a while but finally quit again. Not a big surprise, Zeke was no one who liked to follow any rules.
Though he actually was quite okay. After the alien incident half a year ago he had even started to join Casey at the bleachers during lunch break now and then; they talked about books and movies, and Zeke never laughed about him because he was such a photo geek. Casey secretly enjoyed their time together; it almost felt as if they were friends for some moments. Which, of course, they never could be. Not with Casey's true feelings for Zeke; ridiculous feelings, he had learned to hide well.
What happened next pulled the rug out from under his feed. Zeke stepped closer, his hazelnut brown eyes sparkling slightly amused when he put an arm around Casey's shoulder and placed a fleetingly kiss on his lips. „Did you found what you were looking for? Then maybe we can go home now.“ He blinked. „It's Valday, remember?“
Casey stood thunderstruck, gasping for air. This was a nightmare, wasn't it? This didn't happen for real. No, no, no! Or it would be his death sentence. Even if the jocks seemed to be shocked like he was, they would recover soon and at least tomorrow the whole school, no, the entire town would talk about this scandal.
Zeke didn't seem to notice his uneasiness; he turned to his three former teammates, smiling wide. „Hey, guys, anything wrong?“
It was Meat who found his words again first. „Everything fine, Zeke, none of our business.“
„Good. And you better don't forget this. He means a lot for me, and I use to stick up for people I care for. So you should better leave him alone from now on.“
The jocks shared some looks before they decided that it was better to leave it at that; at least for the moment. And Zeke finally turned to Casey. „Sorry for catching you by surprise.“
Knowing well enough, that he face was deep red, Casey huffed. „What the hell were you thinking? How could you?“
Zeke shrugged. „Best way to stop them. Did you see their stunned face? It was a hoot. Maybe I should have done this much earlier.“
„Oh shit!“ Casey shook his head, still hoping that he would wake up quickly from this more than strange dream. „You are fucking mad. Maybe this is a great joke for you, but I am dead now. My life will be hell from now on.“
„Not as long as we are together. They are smart enough to know that it is never a good idea to get in trouble with me.“
„We are not together! Never, ever! That's ridiculous. And what do you think, how long it will take until they find out that it was only a stupid joke of yours?“
„What when I tell you that it wasn't? Not all I said was for the show.“
Casey frowned. „What's that supposed to mean?“
„I would like to have a chance.“ Zeke's look fell onto the glass flacon in Casey's hand. „Hm. If I didn't read the signs wrong, that's a Valday gift, I guess?“
Casey wasn't even sure why he was still here, talking with him; he should go home, hide in his room, looking for a way that he would never have to leave it again. „It's for my mom,“ he answered instead. „Her favorite scent.“
Zeke smiled. „Good.“
„Oh. You don't think that this is pretty pathetic? The geek buys a Val Day present for his mom."
„Oh, stop that, Casey. Don't give too much about this geek stuff. You are different than the others, and I am glad you are."
"What the hell is wrong with you today? Are you drunk? Too much Scat?"
Zeke laughed. "No, don't worry, I am done with that. It's just... well... I've never done this before, you know. I mean... yes, I have, but it never meant anything."
"Huh??? You did what... not?"
"I wonder if, besides having breakfast with your mom, do you have any other plans for Valday. Because I would like to ask you for a date. It's about time, don't you think so, to make it official?“
