A Wave Of Desire

~~

Ocean

~~

Practice had been like hell this morning. Then Brittney demanding answers from me when I got to class made the day even worse. And let's not forget the stupid bullshit that Justin started when we got to our next class.

I will never forget what he yelled at us across the room.

"None of you are fooling anyone you know. We all know that you're a bunch of fruits. Ocean and his new boy toy that he picked up after Brittney deemed that he wasn't worthy of her, and Ben and Ryan, the longtime closet couple. That is the most shocking to me, honestly. How long have you two been diddling each other? How long have you perverts been ogling the rest of us in the locker room? Same goes for you, Ocean. Why did you string along Brittney? Why did you date her and make her think you loved her when in reality all you wanted was a big fucking cock?"

How the hell did he know that Ben was in love with Ryan? Why did he think that they were already together? And why the hell did he and Brittney have to figure it out about me and Makai? This was quickly becoming the worst day of my life. I would even take passing out and nearly drowning in the pool over this. Not that I could ever drown again. Honestly, I could breathe underwater now.

My only saving grace, my only solace for the rest of the day, was Justin being suspended and sent home. Apparently, the principal was so pissed off by what he said, and the problems he had caused in the past, that he threatened to expel him if he caused any more problems.

The day was looking up somewhat better. I just had one more major hurdle to get through. Just one last massive anxiety fest for me to deal with, then I could pretend like none of this had ever happened. At least until tomorrow that is.

Thankfully, Brittney was not in the cafeteria when Ben, Ryan, Makai and I went to get our lunches. We managed to get our food and sit at our table before I even saw her come into the room. She was clearly on a mission since she was not going to buy her food. She was being followed by a group of other students and it was clear that they were looking for us.

The four of us were sitting at our usual table, with the usual people from our team. Why she thought that we would be sitting anywhere else was beyond me. I wanted to make today seem as normal as possible. That was the advice that I had gotten from Makai anyway. Don't act like there is anything out of the ordinary. Don't let them get to you. Just play it cool and ignore them all. That was what he had told me repeatedly and I was trying my best to follow that advice. I would do what I could to make sure that I was able to survive this catastrophe.

The moment that those dreaded eyes spotted me, I saw the evil smile spread across her lips. She didn't like losing and she didn't like not being the top bitch in school. So, the fact that I had still been on a winning streak, won the competition, and I still wouldn't take her back had really pissed her off. She was out for blood, and she could already taste mine.

"Ocean Shores!" She snapped at me when she got close enough that she didn't have to scream it at me. "I want to talk to you, and you will not run away from me this time. I have brought some friends to help me keep you in place."

"So, your plan is to, what? Beat him up? Kidnap him? Assault him? What exactly are you planning to do here?" Katie, who was sitting just a few seats down from me, asked with a very angry tone of voice.

"I plan to make sure he doesn't run away from me this time." Brittney said it again.

"What, if he does run away your mindless muscle mutts here will go and hold him down? Probably give him a few punches too, because you lied to them about whatever it is they think he did." Alexis added, turning her anger-filled eyes onto Brittney now.

"He was horrible to me. He did the unthinkable." Brittney pointed her finger at me and put on a hurt expression. "I can't believe what he did to me."

"And what did he do, Brittney?" Cassie jumped in with the other girls. "He refused to go out with you again because you were the worst girlfriend ever? Oh no, someone call the police, the FBI, and men in the little white coats. Ocean is certifiably insane and needs to be locked away forever." She pretended to be appalled.

"He lied to me about what he is." Brittney tried to press her issue.

"He's not a swimmer?" Katie asked, tilting her head.

"His name isn't Ocean?" Alexis put a finger to her chin like she was thinking.

"He's an international assassin?" Cassie looked like she was seeing dreamy little stars flying before her eyes. OK, she obviously wanted to live an exciting life. I just wanted something a little more calm now.

"He told me he loved me, he told me he wanted me, he told me that he thought I was beautiful and sexy. And all that time he was gay!" She screamed that last part so loud that everyone in the entire cafeteria stopped talking and started to look at us.

"I don't see, how him refusing to date you now means he is gay." Katie shrugged.

"Yeah, seems to me he just wised the hell up." Cassie crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Besides, if he is gay now, you probably made him that way." At Alexis's comment the entire cafeteria started to laugh at the fuming diva.

"No. He never wanted to have sex with me. He was gay before I got with him." She was trying to save face but that just pissed me off.

"Fuck that." I stood up and stopped holding my tongue. "I wanted to be with you at the time, but you always gave me an excuse. You were a fucking bitch and the worst thing that ever happened to me. You dumping me the way you did while I was in the hospital ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Seriously?" I heard other people start to whisper.

"She broke up with him while he was in the hospital. Talk about a bitch."

"He's gay!" She screamed at me. "That's why I broke up with him."

"If you knew he was gay back then, why did you try getting back with him after he started winning again." Ben stood and walked to my side.

"Yeah, why did you cause scene after scene because he ignored you if you knew he was gay." Ryan went to stand next to Ben, a smile on his face.

"Shut up, Ryan. You and Ben are just the same. Another set of flaming fairies that's on the swim team. I bet the two of you get off on checking each other's junk out in those speedos. You fucking disgust me."

Once again, Ben looked shocked by her words, but Ryan didn't think anything of it.

"I have never once checked out another man's junk. And I never will. Neither would Ben. Isn't that right?" He turned to look at Ben then, grinning. Only the look on Ben's face was anything but calm and it was the furthest thing from laughter that you could expect. "H..hey, don't let her get to you." Ryan tried to laugh. "She's just trying to attack everyone right now." Ryan was doing his best to pretend like he wasn't nervous right now.

"None of this even matters right now. All of this just comes down to the fact that Ocean doesn't want to go out with Brittney anymore, and because of that, she's going on a bitch fit. Just ignore her. That's all that we can do for now." My boyfriend was trying to come to my rescue.

"Shut up, Makai. You're just as guilty as he is. Which one of you started it, huh? Did you suck him off first or was it him that blew you? Come on, we all want to know."

For some reason I felt my face flush. The memory of my birthday came flooding back. That was the night that we first officially did that with each other. But she had no way of knowing that.

"Just drop it, Brittney." Makai practically growled at her.

"No, I will not drop it. I know that you two are probably sucking each other's cocks on a daily basis. You're fucking disgusting. All of you. The four of you should be run out of this school."

Just get over yourself and leave us all the fuck alone, Brittney. None of us care that you got your fucking rancid ass twat twisted in a knot. Go fumigate it and cry to your new boyfriend because we don't want to hear it anymore."

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF YOU ANYMORE! THE NINE OF YOU ARE SUSPENDED! GET TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!"

Apparently, someone had called the principal and he heard the last of what was being said as he approached the cafeteria. We had apparently all been yelling loud enough that he could hear us. And since our large group seemed to be standing off against each other he decided to punish us all, especially since the four lackeys that Brittney brought with her looked like they were planning on fighting someone.

All of us got suspended for two days. Coach was upset since that now meant that five members of his team had been suspended on the first day back from break. He was nice enough to forward us our homework for the next couple of days though. So, I guess it wasn't all bad.

"Hey, Ryan, why don't you and Ben come to our place. I want to talk to you." Makai said as we were leaving the school. "Not to mention, if Ben leaves with me and Ocean with you, we can put some of these rumors to rest."

"Y..yeah." Ryan nodded as he looked over at Ben. "I..I'll drive Ocean to your place."

With that, the four of us got into the vehicles we were taking back to the house that Makai and I were sharing.. I had a feeling that the rest of the day was going to be just as exciting as the first half of it.
