Friend Group

Liam's mind was a mess waiting for the rain to stop. He wasn't experienced in sex between guys. He didn't fully know what to do. He was sure there are certain steps and things to use. What if Ben one day wants to have sex? What would he do? He needed to educate himself on how to do it.

He wanted to please Ben the right way. How would he educate himself though? Phones weren't allowed in school. That's right, Ben had one. He would make up an excuse and tell Ben he needed to borrow it.

Because there's absolutely no way he's searching how to have gay sex on a teacher's phone or worse; the school's public phone. Ben's phone will have to do.

Liam and Ben waited for the rain to stop before leaving the class. Cleaning was a hassle as they didn't bring anything to wipe with. Nature was on their side again as they used the rain water to wash off the cum. Laughing in between because it was weird and funny.

They realized they had entered the last class building, much to their surprise. It seems they subconsciously didn't want to be caught by all means.

They passed a few empty classes until they got to the first classroom, surprised that they could hear voices in the classroom. Laughter and chattering to be precise. They both looked at each other, silently thankful that the people inside didn't come to the last building where they were.

Now imagine their surprise when they checked the class, just to find their friends chatting and eating their picnic snacks. Eric, Chloe, Bia, Darla and Casper all ate Liam's hard work!

"What are you guys doing?" Liam asked with a frown as he stared at the five eyes blinking and looking at him sheepishly.

"Huh?" Bia was the first to speak.

"I asked what you guys are doing? Why are you eating our food?" Liam crossed his arms, staring dead at them.

"Well, when I heard the sky rumble, I came to check if you guys needed help packing up since the food was too much." Eric explained. Chloe and him had helped Liam set up the picnic.

"I got here and didn't see you guys so I went to get help securing the food. They helped pack them up here." He finished.

"But then the rain started pouring and so we decided to wait. We got hungry, hence the eating." Darla said.

"But they're all for Ben." Liam whined.

"But the food smelled good...." Chloe mumbled.

Liam sighed. "Ugh, you guys are so annoying." He walked towards the food and started taking out small portions of everything for Ben.

"Aren't you supposed to thank us? The food would've been wasted if we-" Bia started. Liam's frown at her made her shut it. "Or not." She muttered.

Liam took a slice of cake, two slices of pizza, two smoothies, Ben's sausage biscuit cookie and one peach soda. Liam and Ben sat down on one seat.

"Where did you guys go anyway? You just left your food out there." Chloe asked.

"We were in the last classroom." Liam answered.

"But, didn't you guys hear the sky rumble? And wait...." Bia paused, squinting her eyes at Ben's neck. "Are those hickeys?"

Ben adjusted the collar of the shirt, trying to suppress his cheeks from flaming. "N-no, where?" He asked, faking cluelessness.

"They're right-"

"Okay we ate their food, let's not ask them silly questions at least." Darla said, directing Bia's face back to her front.

"What were you guys talking about anyway? We could hear you guys laughing like man" Liam asked, putting the attention back on them.

"We were making fun of you and Casper but that's not all. Well, we want to throw an after exam party, you know, to cool down the stress. But this time, we'll invite Lead High." Bia answered.

"That would be fun but is that even possible? Would they come?" Liam asked, taking a bite from the cold pizza.

"Of course they will, if we tell the right people about it." Casper said.

"That's true. Well it'll be fun if we did it together. So Bia will finally get a boyfriend." Eric said.

Bia frowned. "You were single last year!"

"Notice how mine is past tense while yours is present tense?" Eric argued.

"Yeah, thanks to Chloe for giving you a chance." She said while eating the cake.

"I just realized. Are we supposed to be here? This is a new building, we're gonna get in trouble." Casper voiced out.

"Yeah, that's true. Well the rain has stopped, let's get out of here." Chloe said, standing up and packing the boxes and wrappers. The other did the same.

They all left the classroom as they chatted and talked over themselves. Ben enjoyed their presence. Laughing when they said something funny and input when he wanted to say something.

He didn't want to jinx it but it seems like, maybe, just maybe, he finally got in a friend group.

********

Exams are finally over. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for every student. Nobody liked exams.

That's why they made sure the party would happen. Lead High students were in on it. It was already planned and it was tomorrow night. The whole school was buzzing about it because it was the first time both schools were partying together.

Ben and Liam were as close as ever. They read, ate, exercised and did everything together. With a few kisses and hugs in between.

"Is Rex coming?" Casper asked Ben. They were currently sitting in the middle of the field. Ben has grown more comfortable around them, at this point he would consider them his friends. Vice versa.

"Yeah." Ben replied.

"Didn't think he would be interested in partying." Casper said, his two hands behind him as he gazed up to the sky.

""Really? Why?" Ben asked, surprised. Rex likes parties. He was a social butterfly. Just that he was also serious with his studies.

"Hold on Ben, you're not asking the right question." Bia said, narrowing her eyes at Casper. "Why are you interested in knowing if he's coming or not?"

"I just wanted to know if the popular students would attend, no big deal in that." Casper said dismissively.

"But you were particular about Rex." Bia argued.

"Bia get off his back. He just wanted to know." Darla said.

Bai looked at Darla. "Normally, you would have been on his back too. You know something, don't you?"

Darla only rolled her eyes. "You're thinking about others too much. Have you thought about how lonely you're going to be when Casper and I go to college? This is our last year and you have no hope with these four. Except you want to....fourth wheel?"

"Ugh, Don't remind me." Bia said. She turned towards Ben and Chloe. "You both aren't boring like Eric and Liam, you'll stick with me right?"

Chloe smiled and nodded her head while Ben smiled awkwardly.

"Please take me with you to college." She said clutching Darla's gown.

"Stop being dramatic Bia."

"Right. I still have other friends. I would be the one ditching them." Bia said smiling.

Ben still hadn't fully gotten used to the group.
