Kenneth's pov
(Flashback) ~
"Kenneth please be my boyfriend, I really do like you alot. Don't turn me down please". I stared at Linda stunned beyond speechless.
She was on her knees in front of the whole class, all eyes were fixed on us as mouths kept moving, people were recording and in my subconscious I was like girl has it come to this. I have sounded it clear to her in the past that obviously I don't have any feeling for her even if it was a pinch.
Now this feels like I'm being forced into something my heart doesn't want.
We fucking talked about this.
(Mind drifting back) ~
I just finished keeping my books and slammed my locker shut when I turned and almost jump out of my skin only to see Linda's smiling face staring at me. Her hands were behind her back, her legs kind of wobbly and her cheeks were a display of scarlet red.
Okay why is this so weird!
"Linda what is this sudden...". She placed her index finger on my lips clamping it shut.
She withdrew her other hand from behind her back and behold a bouquet of flowers was in her hold. For a moment I was short of words. She tried giving it to me but I didn't make a move to even lift a finger.
Flowers?
Really?
Seriously?
What is she up to?
"Kenneth I like you. It's real". She said
I stared at her.
Just stared.
Whattttttttt!!
Linda the queen bee just confessed to me. To be precise, this goddamn goddess was every guy's dream girl, perfect body, irrestible beauty, blonde and she was also stylish. Yeah, she was a fashionista. The good thing was that she wasn't a bully unlike some other typical girls.
But I don't really fancy her that much, I just see her like every other normal girl. I don't have any romantic feeling for her or whatsoever, besides I'm too gay for this shit.
How do I date a girl when I aren't even into girls not less of having feelings for her.
"I'm sorry, please find someone who is worth it". I said and turned to walk away from her but she grabbed my hand suddenly, stopping me in my tracks.
"It's you I want Kenneth, please just give me a chance to prove my love for you". She said, her eyes already getting damp.
I yanked my hands away from her hold and stared daggers at her.
"Don't tell me you are trying to use me to get Josh jealous, I'm fully aware you guys broke up two days ago. How on earth did you move on so fast". I raised my brows at her.
"Josh is history, I don't like him anymore. Infact I've been looking for a proper excuse to break up with him when the golden opportunity just fell into my hands that he cheated with some random girl at the rooftop. Do you know how happy I was, finally I would come to the one I truly love and that's you". She explained.
"Linda I don't like girls". I snapped.
She looked surprised for a second before she opened her mouth to speak again.
"That's a lie". She said and the next thing I didn't know would happen was her lips pressed on mine. It was so sudden that my brain stopped functioning for that moment. I stiffened, didn't move my lips, my fingers curled tightly at my sides and I just stared in shock at her eyes that were wide open.
She withdrew immediately and smiled at me.
"If you were gay, I swear you would have pushed me away but you didn't. See I was right". She smirked
I didn't even know what to say, just stared at her like I'd had been struck with dumbness.
"Are you okay?". She waved her hands over my face. "Don't tell me that was your first kiss".
"How bold of you to think that was my first kiss". I huffed.
"I didn't feel anything when you kissed me, so don't give yourself hope. Don't waste your time thinking I would give in because that's never gonna happen". I said and walked away.
I never knew my first kiss would be with a girl.
Another scenerio~
"Kenneth what are you doing this to me. You are hurting me. I can't just seem to get you off my head for even a second. Why do I have to be the one begging. This is so lame!". Linda whined as she cornered me at the bookshelf of the library. I just wanted to keep a book back on the shelf when suddenly she came out from nowhere.
I sighed.
"I thought we've talked about this before. You are wasting your time on me Linda". I snapped
"Please just give me a chance. You don't need to love someone first before starting a relationship, the feeling develops as you spend time with the person. Please I need you". She pleaded eyes like that of puppies.
There's no way that look will work on me.
"I told you I was gay right".
"You didn't push me away when I kissed you remember, you might be bi, you just have to figure it out ".she said.
"I didn't expect the kiss that's why I didn't react. It was all too sudden for me to grasp". I rolled my eyes.
"Fine. Let's say you are gay but you can be bi for me". She said holding my hands but this situation was already getting on my nerves, I pushed her hands away from mine.
"I can never like you and that's on period". I said and turned to leave but remembered something and stopped dead in my tracks.
"Let's not talk about this again". I said it without looking back at her and walked away.
( End of mind drifting back)~
"Linda what is this stunt you are pulling? Are you fucking out of your mind". I asked her, anger already building up within me as I stared at her with hate.
"If you turn me down, no one will be on your side because you rejected a rare gem. I am the kind of girl every guy in this school wants so why are you playing so hard to get". Everybody was looking at us and I swear I hated this kind of attention.
"Wow you are so full of yourself. Every guy except me, I'm not part of them". I deadpanned.
"Just fucking say yes. Why are you wasting time". A girl shouted from the crowd.
"Can't you see that they ship us. We've gotten their blessings without even trying". Linda chuckled but I didn't find anything amusing rather I was irritated.
"What if I say no, then would you give up?". I asked
"Of course I won't. I always get what I want even if it means shedding blood for it". She smiled.
"Bravo! You are really a hard nut to crack". I hissed quietly
"Are you just figuring that out now". She chuckled.
I thought about it for a second. Maybe I should just give in, I might not be as gay as I thought. For my mum to be happy I need to be a normal person so let me just give it a try.
"I'm doing this for myself and not you, so don't get too excited". I said
"Well I don't care as long as I have you to myself". She smiled and continued "So is that a yes?".
"What do you think?". I turned my face away and the next thing that followed was her all over me. She hugged me so tight to the extent that I found it hard to breathe and she kept screaming.
"He said yes. He said yes. He's mine". She screamed and everyone in the classroom started applauding and that's how the news flooded on the school's forum that Famous soccer player was dating the School's queen bee.
I became a target for Josh her ex, but she warned him to stay away, that she didn't like him anymore and he should stop wasting his time.
But as time went on, I got tired of the relationship. It lasted for only a month because I wasn't feeling anything, anytime she trys to touch me i would always feel disgusted, a woman doesn't arouse me. The relationship was having cracks and I decided to end it.
She missed school for a week because of the break up and after that we heard that she had relocated to Italy with her family, so that was the end between the both of us.
( End of flashback ) ~
The Present ~
"What are you thinking about? ". Someone tapped me hard on my shoulder and I quickly brought myself back from my reverie. I looked up, it was Damon.
The last person I wanted to see.
I told Theo and Chloe not to follow me to the Canteen because I needed to be left alone.
"Why are you here?". I asked, my half eaten burger now looked like shit in my front. I lost appetite the moment he came.
"I can be anywhere I want to be". He snapped and dugged into his meal of sausages after he settled down on the chair opposite mine.
"You aren't permitted to be around me. Go find another table".
"This is the only one empty. Look around and tell me what you see". He said and I bodly stared around the whole canteen, every other place was fully occupied.
I let out a frustrated breath.
"Then I'm leaving". I said and stood up.
"Alright". He said nonchalantly.
I just eyed him and marched out of the Canteen.
********
During practice I watched them play because I wasn't permitted to be on the field till after the one week elapses but I still wore the Jersey. I needed to be strong enough according to the nurse.
When practice was over, we all retired to the locker room to change back into our uniforms.
I was pulling off my jersey when suddenly I felt a presence beside me.
"Why are you being a pussy?". The familiar voice asked.
"And what brought about that dumbass question?". I glared hard at Damon.
"You keep avoiding me and giving me attitude. I am not comfortable with it". He said, his expression now serious.
"If you are not comfortable, that's your problem to deal with". I hissed.
"Fuck! I hate you". He blurted out pissed.
"My pleasure". I smiled at him but something in me snapped when he said those three words.
It hurt me even though I knew he never meant it.
"Since you don't want me around you, then I also don't want you around my cousin. Stay away from her". He said pointing his index finger at my face.
"And who is this cousin you are talking about?". I asked confused
"Noelle Brandon". He snapped.
What the!!!!!
The girl I gave my number, the girl I wanted to try to date again to test myself and even try changing my sexuality if it would work because I found her attractive.
"She's your cousin?". I asked dumbfounded.
"Funny how you are just finding out". He smirked.
