The blond one narrowed his eyes, "Oh really witty dipstick" He muttered as he punched the boy's arm as hard as he could.

Cameron sighed and grabbed his friend's arm tightly in both hands, "Dude....your sitting closer to him than I am?" He smirked a bit turning the accusation around, "And they say if you take time to single some one out you must have a crush on them?"
He gripped tight and twisted his hands on the boys arm causing him to wince and pull away from the Indian burn.

The other boy frowned at Cameron, "Now your standing up for this guy?" He said folding his arms.

"So what if I am?" Cameron asked, his eyes daring him to say something smart, "You guys are like freaking kids, Whats he done to you? I Mean come on? Its not like he's gonna steal any girls from you or some shit?"

"Dude!" The Blond pleaded "That's not the point man! He's a freaking fag!"

"I'm sorry that's just not a good enough reason," Cameron muttered sighing, "I dunno if he'd like...raped you in the shower...yeah Okay go on...but I seriously doubt he has, or would for that matter. Especially not you two..." He laguhed a bit "I know for a fact none of the girls ever would..."

Justin doesn't even flinch when hit. He watches the whole scene play out and snorts when Cameron makes his rape statement. "Not to mention I have better taste than that. Those showers are gross." He looks amused at the entire scene.

Cameron watched them with an amused smirk "See?" He said leaning back in his seat a little, "I think you should head back to class before the principal sees you or something?"

"Man Cameron Whats with you" The darker haired, apparently more intelligent one, "You used to be a normal guy...He's turned you hasn't he!" He smirked a little, "So this your first date or what?"
The Boy looked over at Justin, "How'd you steal our friend huh? I wanna know?"

Cameron just glared at him, "Get off it already..." He groaned as he stood up slowly, "Your being stupid as hell" He said walking over and shoving him lightly "We're not in freaking elementary school anymore so cut this crap out."

The boy just smiled and shrugged "Sure sure, but by the end of the day...heh, Well I'm sure every one already knows your a fag Cameron? Or should we start calling you Cammie?"

"I have a unisex name smart ass...so you can just keep calling me Cameron" He said dully.

Justin thinks for a moment. He grins slightly and gets up. He walks over to the darker haired boy and leans in, making it seem like he's going to kiss him. He holds back a smirk and closes his eyes. 'Hit me, do it,' he thinks to himself, feeling bold for once.

Shock filled the brunette's eyes and he lept back. He backed into an empty chair that he managed to tip over and fall backwards head over heals. He landed laying on his back in the cafeteria, starring at the ceiling. The chair clattering to the floor beside him.

The entire lunch room erupted in laughter. Even the Blond was laughing hysterically.
"Man did you see that!" He cheered as he walked over to his friend, "Oh my god that was the best!"
"No I didn't!" The brunette growled at his friend angrily, "Shut up!" He said as he climbed up and stormed out of the cafeteria angrily.
The blond paused for a moment before following his friend grinning a bit.

Cameron smiled a little as he watched the two, he looked over and Justin and then started to laugh shaking his head a bit.

Justin bites his lip, shaking with laughter. "One thing homophobes are afraid of is touch by a homosexual person," he states, in between laughs. "It was a long shot though, I wasn't sure whether that was the reaction I was gonna get, or if he would have hit me. But now I don't think he'll bug me anymore." His normal cheerfulness is back and he's grinning widely.

Cameron grinned and nodded a bit stuffing his hands in his pockets, "Ahh he won't but I wouldn't count on every one of them not hitting you, heh I'm sure most would probably have the same reaction." He said with a shrug as he walked back to his seat and started stuffing his trash in the box quietly. He'd finished most of his food, there was only an apple left. He pulled that out and set it to the side.

"I'm done I was gonna head to the library...or I could stay here and wait for you to finish?" He suggested.

Justin chuckles. He thinks for a moment. "Go ahead to the library. I'll just work on my sketch for art till the bell. He smiles cheerily.

Cameron gave a short nod and headed off to the Library. He didn't see Justin for the rest of the day. He really didn't expect to, it wasn't like they shared any classes.

In fact the only time Cameron ever saw the other boy was when they stopped at their lockers at the beginning and end of the day, as well as lunch.

Cameron stood outside his locker as the end of the day bell ran. Students hurrying down the halls to catch the bus. The redhead was in no hurry since he lived within walking distance from the school. He only road the bus when the weather was bad.

Justin hovers by his locker at the end of the day, watching the students catch the bus. He sighs, not really wanting to go out and look for his father. He grunts as someone taps him on the shoulder. The boy looks like this: . "Ready to go home?" he asks. Justin just grumbles in response.

Cameron watched as Justin was lead off by another guy. He worried about him a little but he didn't want to make a scene. He slipped his book bag over his shoulder and headed for the doors.

"Hey Justin I'll see you tomorrow okay?" He called waving at him as he left.

Justin waves back. "See ya." The moment he leaves the boy quietly squeals. "Aw! Justin's got a booooy friiieeennnd!" Justin stares at him. "I do not. He just kept me from getting my normal amount of bruises. You see how I'm walking normally?" He raises an eyebrow. "And if you say anything to either parent, you're losing your babymaker, dear brother." Jamie pouts. "I would never do that!" Justin grunts, getting to the car.

Cameron yawned a bit as he took off walking down the street, waving now and then to buses that passed by. Finally stuffing his hands deep in his pockets and sighing a bit.

He was worried about Justin, he didn't quite understand why he was worried, or what he planned to do about that. But he was. He was also a little worried about himself and this sudden want to get to know the other guy better. That bothered him just a bit. But he shook that off, he was probably just being dumb about all of this.

Justin stares out the window, while his father yells at him. His father was a massive homophobe, and tended to be more cruel towards Justin for it. Justin sees Cameron walking down the street and waves slightly at him, not sure if he'll even see it. His father, however, did see, and started asking all sorts of irritating questions.

The moment the car stops, Justin flies out and into his room. He locks his door once he's in and turns his music up loud. He then collapses on his bed.

Cameron was used to being waved at, he noted Justin's hand and gave a small wave back. But at first he wasn't sure who was waving at him.

When he got home the Apartment was empty, it was always empty this time of day. His mother worked day shifts and his father worked night. They were always home in the morning and both were always gone by afternoon.

He shuffled off to his bed room and turned on his radio as he started his homework. There was something nagging at the back of his mind though. It wasn't so much that he was bothered by the Idea as he just wasn't sure it was correct. It could just be all the hype and how vulnerable Justin seemed, yes that must have been what was causing these feelings..

Justin groans into his pillow when his father calls him out. He slouches as he walks out. "Yeah?" "Who was your friend?" his father demands. Justin sighs. "He kept me from being picked on in school today." His father rolls his eyes. "You deserve it. You're a f*****." Justin doesn't even flinch. "Is that all?" Once his father says yes he quickly goes back to his room.

Cameron flopped back on his bed when he was finished and closed his eyes with a yawn. He started to fall asleep, like always. Sometimes it felt like he didn't even have parents. If it weren't for weekends and the occasional note on the fridge, he'd swear he was an orphan. They weren't bad parents though, and on most weekends they went out of their way to spend family time together.

Justin keeps the music on, but turns it down. He then pulls his back messenger bag over and starts digging for his home work. He grumbles at the social studies homework. "Ugh." He rolls his eyes but does it anyway.

Around two hours later, he finishes everything up. He drops his bag by his bed and curls up to go to sleep. ..Or at least nap till dinner.

((Time skip to morning?
Also Sorry for not replying sooner. Had a Lan Party at my house this weekend XD My kitchen still hasn't fully recovered...and won't till Tuesday D: ))

(Sure, and it's okay. ^^ Was it fun?)

((LOL It was fun. In a "Can we just keep them here?" kinda way XD ))

Cameron stretched in his bed as he woke up to the sound of his alarm clock beeping in duet to the big band jazz playing in the kitchen downstairs.

He smiled as he slid out of bed, "Mom's up" He muttered happily as he shut off the clock and pulled off his pajamas and then pulled the day's clothes on and headed for the bathroom. He pulled a comb through his hair and washed his face. His hips swinging a bit to the music that was playing.

The red head even caught himself dancing down the hall, He always woke up in a good mood when his mom was home.

A short little redheaded woman stood in the kitchen making egg sandwiches and setting them on the little counter that faced the dining area.

He got a running start and slid across the linoleum towards the fridge.
"Mornin mom..." He said smiling.
She looked back at him and grinned, "Guess who got a promotion yesterday!" She said cheerily, her cheeks red with pride.
"Ummm? You?" He asked as he pulled out a jug or orange juice and walked to the other side of the counter, "which of these is mine?" He asked lifting the bread up, "never mind found it" He said sitting down at the dining table before she could reply.

"So I thought I'd drive you to school today, on my way to work," She said standing on her tiptoes to peer over the counter, "What do you think? You to cool for that?"
"Can I drive you to my school instead?" He asked smiling at her.
"Sure that works too" She said sitting across the table from him.

(Niice. That's how I am when I hang out, never wanna go home.)

Justin wakes up early for once and wanders into the kitchen. He perks up, seeing his brother cooking. "Hi, Jam." Jamie turns and looks at him. "Justiiiin. Gonna be with your boooyfriieeend today?" Justin frowns at him. "He wasn't my boyfriend, you twit. Now what are we eating?" Jamie holds up a pan of eggs. "Eggs." Justin nods. "Kay. Either of the parents up yet?" Jamie thinks for a moment. "I think mom's up. Or should be soon." He dishes out four plates of eggs and puts them down. Their mother walks out as he does. "Ah, good." Justin sits down and pokes his eggs. Jamie kicks him gently. "I can cook. Just eat them, you." Justin just grins.

The little redheaded woman finished her food and then walked down the hall, "Just let me fix my hair while you finish up ...and we'll be ready to go."

Cameron glanced over at the coffee maker and noticed it was still off, "We getting gas station coffee?" He asked smirking a bit.
"That we are... but don't tell your dad...I'm supposed to be cutting back" She laughed.

Cameron finished his breakfast and hopped out of his chair picking up the dishes and putting them in the sink. He quickly and quietly went through the cabinets eventually finding the rum his mom hid in the pantry. He moved it to the cabinet above the fridge and stuffed it behind the cereal with a sigh. His mom was a recovering alcoholic, or so she claimed. His father had cut her off of Coffee cause he had noticed her adding rum to it in the mornings.
Cameron was worried she'd grab the bottle on they're way out, and who knew where that would lead them.
He darted back into the living room and flopped on the couch waiting for her, pretending he'd been there the whole time.

He listened to her as she rummaged through the cabinets. She sighed a bit and then seemed to give up, "I guess he got rid of it then..." She muttered to her self.
"Alright Cam...get your stuff... lets get going" She said as she picked up her keys and purse.
Cameron nodded and stood up slipping his shoes on and grabbing his back pack, "So mom..." He asked rubbing the back of his head, "There's this kid at school that gets picked on..." He started as they walked out to the car and climbed in.

Justin looks up when his mother walks in. "...Morning," he mutters. He never really got along with either of his parents, mainly due to them being homophobes. And seeing as he likes men it just didn't work well. He sighs as he watches as she walks all the way around him almost like she was going the long way around him. He wants to yell at her but it would only cause more problems. He shakes his head and he almost immediately regrets it when she glares at him.

"Why are you shaking your head, faggot!" she yells making him immediately wish she hadn't seen it.

"Leave me alone. I wasn't doing anything," Justin says then just goes back to poking at the food before he started eating. He had to admit Jamie could cook. It wasn't that bad.

"Do not talk back to me, faggot!" she screams then slaps him hard in the back of his head causing his face to make contact with his eggs. The fork almost got stabbed in his face but he was able to move it way quickly enough.

"Mom....please stop..." Jamie said not knowing what to do. He was sort of a wimp. Hated to admit it but he was.

"Just hurry up and finish your food faggot! I have to get you to school early! I don't feel like being near you more then I have to...." She growls out then just goes into the next room waiting for them to finish.

"I'm done...." Justin says then stands up. "Lets just go before....he comes down..." He is talking about there father. He didn't want to deal with him this early in the morning. He didn't want to have to try and hid more bruises or cuts.

"But I cooked...." Jamie says then sighs. He got Tupperware and packed up the eggs that he made and puts it in his bag. He turns then looks at his brother. He watches as his mom just walks out and goes strait into the car. Jamie follows his brother to the car then gets into the back seat with him. The entire drive to the school is in silence though Jamie could tell his brother was pissed. His mom chose to use that word. Faggot. Because it pissed him off the most. Justin couldn't help he loved men. Girls just weren't his cup of tea. (XD)
