A Wave Of Desire

One by one we all got out of the car and ran toward the building. I happened to look up and see that Ryan had grabbed onto Ben's hand and was holding it tightly in his. They were literally holding hands as they ran in through the front door of the school. It was clear to see that Ryan didn't want to hide their relationship from anyone at all. I was happy to see that, but I didn't know if I was brave enough to do that at school.

The four of us ran through the quiet and empty halls all the way to the locker room, which was also quiet and empty. Silently, we got ready for practice as quickly as we could. It truly didn't take any of us all that long, but we were all still late for the official start of practice. I felt so embarrassed as we walked out of the locker room and into the one where the pool was.

Every single person in there turned to look at us as we walked in, the coach included. I felt my face starting to heat up as we walked over to take our places in line. My heart was racing as I thought about everyone judging me at the moment. I needed to get that under control too, I needed to calm myself down somehow.

"Sorry Coach, we were running late." Makai gave the coach an excuse for us but he didn't look too pleased when he heard it.

"What the fuck?! Did you all go and have a fucking orgy all weekend or something."

"JEFFRIES!" The coach yelled at Justin as he yelled over to us. "I don't want to hear another outburst like that from you ever again." I could see the coach giving Justin a firm glare. "And as for the four of you, I want to see you after practice."

"Yes, Sir."

"Yes, Coach."

"OK Coach."

"Understood." The four of us nodded our heads and acknowledged that we would indeed see him after practice.

Oh, there was no doubting it. That was going to be when we were kicked off the team. The coach was going to tell us that people like us weren't permitted to be on the team and we had to drop from the roster. That's fine, I would deal with it. I kind of wanted to skip practice then, but that was fine, I would give this last practice my all so that the coach could see what he was going to be missing out on when we left.

After my stretching, I got ready to test my time for the relay. Makai, Ben, Ryan, and I were teamed together for the relay and all four of us hit our record time. We were definitely the fastest that was doing the trial run right now.

See that, Coach? You're losing all your best swimmers. I hope it's worth kicking us off the team.

"Heh, I didn't know that blowing each other makes you swim so fast. Maybe it should be considered a cheat, you know, since you're sucking each other off to win." Justin sneered at me in a not so quiet tone of voice.

I saw the coach look at us but he didn't say anything, he just went about timing the other swimmers as they practiced. It annoyed me a little, but I wasn't going to let it bother me. This was my last day of swim practice, I just wanted to enjoy it.

A little while later, the coach wanted to test me on my butterfly stroke. I prepared myself, got into position, and jumped at the precise moment that the whistle blew. I swam faster and harder than I usually did, probably thanks to being a siren.

I didn't need to actually get a breath of air before going back since I could breathe water now. So, with that in mind, I barely came up out of the water for a breath of air. I had to come up for the stroke, but I moved my arms quicker and didn't worry about taking the breath on the way up, instead I took my breath on the way down and breathed in the water. With the water filling my lungs, I felt like I was moving faster than usual.

Coach was smiling when I finished my laps, but he didn't say anything at all. Justin did, though. The moment that I went to leave the pool he started to heckle me some more.

"Hey, Ocean, do you know what you looked like just then? You looked like you were blowing the fucking water. Did you want the water to fuck you or something? Were you trying to give it a blow job so that it would help you swim better?" He was laughing at his own joke but no one else was saying anything else at all. With no opposition, Justin just kept going with his stupidity.

"I don't want to swim in tainted water, so why don't you stop trying to fuck it. I mean, just because you're named after the water doesn't mean that you need to take it from the water?" He just wouldn't stop laughing and that was starting to piss me off. I didn't say anything though, I just continued to ignore him. "Come on, you fucking faggot, say something to me. Respond. Get upset. Cry. Do something, you fucking fairy."

I could tell that he was pissed that he wasn't getting a rise out of me. I was going to keep ignoring him just to piss him off even more, that would be fun.

"Come on, little bitch boy, say something to me." Justin just wouldn't stop it at all.

"I'll say something to you." Makai started but I stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't. He isn't worth it, Makai. Just let him be." I tried to tell him with my eyes that it was fine. I was fine, so he should be as well.

"Eww! Look at the two of you, what are you doing? Are you trying to remember your last ass session or something? That's fucking disgusting." Justin made gagging noises like he was going to vomit.

"Shut up, Justin." Katie came walking over to my side and glared at him.

"Yeah, stop being such an ass." Alexis walked up to my other side.

"What, you two bitches became carpet munchers just because Ocean and Kai are off the market? Don't worry, no one fucking wants you or your rotten ass pussy anyway."

"That's enough, Justin." I snapped at him. "I will deal with you berating me, but I will not stand for you doing it to them. If you're so fucking pissed off about me being gay, take that up with me, you fucking closet case. However, I will not let you harass other people." My breathing was heavier now than when I had finished my swim. My anger rising and getting to a boiling point.

"What the fuck did you just say to me?" Justin was charging at me, his fists clenched at his sides and his fury pouring off of him.

"I said you're a fucking closet case. It's the only thing that makes sense. You're so pissed because you wanted me, but I am already taken. Sorry man, even if I wasn't with Makai, the thought of you would make me sick." I tried my best not to laugh in his face when I spoke. "Go take your homophobia somewhere else and look for someone else to diddle you, I'm not interested."

"Fuck you, fairy boy. I will not be talked to like that. You better watch your fucking back, because I will get you for that."

"Yup, I'm truly scared, Justine. I will be quaking in my boots every moment for the rest of my life.

"Suck m-."

"ENOUGH!" Coach interrupted whatever it was that Justin was about to say at that moment. I didn't want to think about the fact that he was about to tell me to suck his dick, that would have made me physically ill just to hear. Thank you Coach for interrupting it.

However, even though I was thankful that the coach had interrupted Justin, I still didn't want to hear what he had to say to us. Coach looked pissed off, angrier than I had ever seen him before. I really didn't want him to scream at me in front of everyone. Dammit, all of this shit has already happened, and it wasn't even twenty minutes into practice. This was bullshit.

Coach stomped over to where Justin and I were standing. Justin still had his fists clenched and I was doing my best to act calm. I think I was doing an OK job at it too.

"I don't want to hear another damn word about this. It has no place on my team."

"Exactly!" Justin nodded in agreement with the coach. I knew this was coming, but this still made me feel shitty.

"I will not tolerate the way that things are right now. I simply won't stand for it." Justin looked so triumphant. I was so pissed off right now. I couldn't even let us all enjoy our last swim practice. I got us kicked off the team early. "That's why I want you off the team." Yup, I knew that was coming. My heart just stopped at his words. I stood there frozen and felt like a bucket of ice cold water had just been dumped all over me. "Get the fuck out of here and pack up your locker, Justin.. You are done."
