I breathed in his scent and smiled, imagining how he would taste....like a vanilla bean frappachino from Starbuck I liked to imagine.
“Danny,” he whispered romantically. “I loved 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.”
What?
‘Freaking day dreams,’ I thought as I came out of one. The bell rang, signaling it was five minutes to class. High school really sucked. Stupid pointless drama. Stupid ‘groups’ and even stupider jocks. Can’t you just imagine them bumping chests? Like I said, high school sucked. Except the half naked, wet jocks rubbing against each other. That was pretty nice.
I, Danny Artson, self-proclaimed nerd, am the average everyday gay teenager. In fact it was one of the group. Yes, this school has an “Average Everyday Gay Teenagers” group. It was even better than the GSA. Gay Straight Allegiance, for those who didn’t know. And really… who cares about straight people anyway? Well, except the straights. Oops.
Erin Martin, my best friend and resident ‘fag hag’ was also the most popular girl in school. She loved ‘us’ so much she was even in the AEGT (Average Everyday Gay Teenagers). Sometimes, I honestly wondered if Patterson-Lee high school was in The Twilight Zone. If I listened hard enough, I swear I could hear the music. Then again it could be Mr. Marina wheezing. Anyway, Erin and I were an interesting pair.
And then there was Adam. Oh, Adam. He was the very elusive nerd-jock. And holy hell was he hot.
“Danny!…Danny!”
“What?” I asked irritably, coming out of another day dream. And what a nice one it was turning out to be.
Erin sighed, throwing her hands up in the air. “Fine, fine. Just ignore me. That’s just fine. I’m sure dream-Adam is more important than little ol’ Erin.”
Oh. Did I forget to mention drama was her specialty? I’d be damned if she didn’t get a small soap part soon. I hear Passions is hiring. God, I love that show. That Fox Crane is…
“I’m so sorry, Erin. I'll never do it again,” I said smirking.
“That much better. I’m so proud of you.” And she looked it. Well, I had been practicing. I even bought a book - “The Art of Sucking Up”.
I started to say something, but then there he was. I think I became a puddle as his scent wafted to my nose. Mmmhmm… phoenix Axe.
“Come on, lover boy. Time for class.”
I opened my mouth to protest. Ah, who was I kidding? I snuck one last look at Adam, as he searched through his locker. He looked up and winked. Oh my god, I think he waved too. I think my heart stopped. God, is that you? Oh, it’s just the florescent lights.
I smiled and half waved. You know, the kind you do when you don’t actually know if they waved to you. He smirked. Smug bastard. He thinks he so great. Stupid nerd- jock! …God damn, I loved him.
The bell rang. Late again.
I sprinted to class, more like pirouetted, but that’s not the point. Yes, I know ballet.
Adam’s chuckle filled the hall. So, fine. High school wasn’t that bad.
Okay, maybe this is The Twilight Zone. As long as Adam is there I’m game.
Stupid nerd-jocks.

This was a very nice story, not as terrible as you said. I could really picture another day in the life of a teenager in highschool, and his crazy crush on adam. It seems like there is more to this story, though.
Well done. (:
Good luck in my contest. (: -

Made me smile, in fact made me laugh. I honestly liked this, the character was well set up and the way his thoughts contradicted each other was good. Very much highschool; you portrayed it well

This is NOT terrible. It's a good intro to a story with a wise-cracking, know-it-all protagonist.
I enjoyed reading it and I was especially impressed with how well the prompt blended in with the rest of the story. Often times, the prompts stick out like a sore thumb, but this worked very well.
Great job. -
AH! I liked where this was going... I WANT MORE! Anyways, this was short and sweet and I liked it.
