Chapter 4 : awkward encounter

It was lunch break and Justin was walking to the cafeteria with Elle beside him . He listened to her ramble about a new pizza place she wanted to try out . He couldn't focus on what she was saying as he tried not to bump into someone .

The hallways were packed with students making their way to the cafeteria and others blocking the way so they could converse with their friends . This school was so much like his old one but more tolerable to say the least . If he could describe his old school with one word , it'd be unwelcoming . This one was different , everyone was minding their own business .

No one was bothering him just yet . To them , he was just some hot new guy and nothing else . They didn't know anything about him or his family and he wanted to keep it that way . No more seeking for unwanted attention .

He didn't realise that he had zoned out again only to see that they were already at the cafeteria which was lively due to loud chattering . Students were talking over each and his attention  was particularly looking at a group of boys whom were playing spin the spoon?  Shouldn't they scoop their food with that ?

" What will you be having Justin ? Maybe I could pay ? " Elle said to him , touching his shoulder to gain his attention . Her eyes searching for his . " Let's make it my treat since you're new and all , I could buy you a Pizza or do you want something else ? "

" No it's fine Elle , I'll pay for it myself . Uh , where do you usually sit ? " He asked timidly .

He was well aware that Elle must have had friends of her own and wanted to ditch him here . Even though she didn't say it with her mouth , she was probably bored of him already .

He wasn't easy to deal with and he certainly sucked at making a conversation . He was always alone so he never bothered with anything , not even making friends . She must be itching to tell him off and before she could reply to his previous question , he quickly added ;

" Could I sit with you and yours friends ? I don't want to sit alone ... "

" Oh yeah ! You're more than welcome to sit with us , my friends are really nice but sometimes they could be too much to handle , but don't worry . They'll like you because I like you ! " she answered , throwing a million dollar smile his way . He wanted to express how grateful he was but only smiled back , flashing his perfect white teeth cutely .

After paying for their lunch , Elle led him to a table at the far corner of the cafeteria where two boys were sitting . He looked down at his food , afraid to make eye contact as one of them stared at the approaching figures .

He had a confused look on his face as his brown eyes darted from Elle to him . Justin didn't need to see him up close to fully tell that this guy was handsome , with his messy brunette hair and sharp features . He could pass by as a model . One could tell that he was tall too , taller than Justin .

He was towering over the boy opposite him with his large frame . Justin found himself gulping as the said guy caught him staring . Staring is rude Justin , his mother always warned him so he looked down on his food again .

" Hey losers , missed me ? " Elle greeted them when they arrived at the table .

The shorter guy didn't even look up from his phone and Justin couldn't see his face clearly . The only thing he saw was his neatly trimmed black hair and perfect nose . Why is everyone so hot in this damn school he wondered . Literally every corner he turned , there was a godly looking person , could it be a curse ? 

" This is Justin , fresh meat and our new friend . Please be nice , I'm specifically talking to you Tip . Justin , this is Tip and Connor , my best friends ." she squealed before taking her seat next to to the shorter boy who hadn't looked up from his phone . Cute he thought .

" Can you guys please say hi to Justin ."

"..."

"..."

" Oh come on ! Don't be rude , he just wants new friends . Why are you being petty ? " Elle said disapprovingly with a shake of her head .

She looked at the shorter boy next to her and snatched his phone , catching him off guard . The boy was about to snatch his phone back but Elle slammed her first on the table , which resulted in silence from the whole cafeteria .

Everyone was dead silent as they looked over their table and strangely enough , nobody had their phones out . What? No one wants to capture the moment ?  He almost laughed at the irony . The stares were over as soon as they started . This was probably a norm by now , maybe Elle was one of the people with anger issues . Just like me .

" Forgive me everyone , it's that time of the month ! My mood swings are getting the best of me ! Apologies , Apologies !" She addressed the whole school by bowing her head apologetically , earning a scoff from the shorter boy . Elle was about to say something but got interrupted .

" Can the new dude sing ?" the taller guy asked , eyeing Justin suspiciously .

" No but he can imitate chickens " Elle observed .

" What ? That's sick man ... Can he imitate birds then? He kinda looks like one , doesn't he ? "

" No hell no , Justin doesn't look like no bird , he looks like a cute baby shark . You know , with em sharp baby teeth and all . You should see him smile , it'll make you squirt . Well , thats if you can even get it up Connor , maybe you need Justin to help you with that huh ? " she argued back .

Her face thoughtful as she observed Justin's flushed face . Connor was just about to fire back but got distracted by something behind Elle's head .

" I'm right here ..."  Justin spoke for the first time since they got there .

They had been completely ignoring him but now as he spoke , they all looked at him with wide eyes . Including the shorter boy and Justin had to hold his breath at how starstruck he was as he gazed at him .

The boy was clearly Asian , the most beautiful boy he has ever seen in his entire life . His beauty was erotic in an arousing manner . For a moment he thought he was a girl but he clearly was wrong , he was just a beautiful boy . The shorter boy's confused stare soften a bit as he studied Justin who sat opposite him . Justin was probably salivating by now .

He wasn't thirsty , that would be a gross understatement . He was perched and not for water . The boy had dark brown eyes which looked black , resembling the night sky . Pale white skin with full red lips , he reminded Justin of snow white . A male version of snow white .

The boy kept looking at Justin , his eyes roaming around Justin's features like a predator . If only I could hear his voice he thought .

" What's with the staring contest ? Can we join too ? I always suck at maintaining eye contact."

They were interrupted by Elle's loud voice . Justin reluctantly broke the stare bond he created with the Asian boy to look at Elle . She has her arms folded over her bosom as she looked at them suspiciously .

" No need . Do you know where I can find the uh ...  I need to take a piss " he flushed , finding it hard to breathe . Is it hot in here or is it just me ? . Turning his eyes back to the other boy , he was surprised to find him staring back at him with so much intensity .

" I'll show it to you " Tip answered flatly .

" Tip , you promised to help me with my math homework and now leaving me to think for myself ?! " Elle whined .

" Why won't you ask for my help huh ? I'm smart too you know " Connor said , pointing am accusing finger at a pouty Elle .

" No kidding , you can't even spell Duke , you imbecile ! How can you possibly help me huh ? " She shot back .

" At least I can spell my name! ..."

Justin looked over to the other boy was already making his way out of the cafeteria and followed him . Elle and Connor were still arguing about who was smarter than the other and he found himself smiling like an idiot .

He never had friends before and the feeling was new to him but he couldn't decipher why Tip would offer to help him . He hadn't even spoken a thing to the shorter boy as he followed him behind . Tip had a nice back view and Justin could feel his pants growing tighter as he eyed the boy's ass .

What the hell! !?

" Why are you helping me " he asked . He was trying to defuse the situation but unfortunately for him , his body was growing hotter and hotter by the second . He was pretty sure his skin was flushed by now but he couldn't care less . " You can go back , I'll just find ... my way ... It shouldn't be far " he concluded .

" No . Just follow me ."

"..."

When they reached the toilets , Justin didn't waste any more seconds and rushed inside a cubicle . He was hard alright and had the urge to release but he couldn't masturbate with someone near by , especially if it was a hot asian guy . Justin wasn't gay , never had he questioned his sexuality before . He always found girls beautiful but never liked them in a romantic way .

His fingers itched to touch himself . He knows that Tip was just outside the stall but he desperately need a release so he quietly undid his zipper , making sure to muffle the sound . After undoing his pants , he slid them down till they were by his ankles along with his underwear . He was about to touch himself but stopped before he grazed his throbbing member .

" I wouldn't do that if I were you" a soft voice sounded from outside his stall and he almost cursed . How the fuck did Tip know what he was about to do ?!

" Uh ... What ?"

" I said I wouldn't do that if I were you , not with me being here . Do you want me to leave ?" Tip asked quietly as if he couldn't believe his own words  .

" Please?"

That was the only thing Tip wanted to hear before he left , leaving s flustered Justin behind .

Just great , now he thinks I'm a freak !
