Embracing the Unknown My name is Gray, I’m 14 years old and I like guys. My eyes are golden green and I have brown hair. I’m athletic, almost 6 feet tall and slim. As I step into the art room at my school my nose is assaulted by the foul smell of sulfur, “Oh, what the hell is that?” One of the more annoying kids in my class says pinching his nose. The art teacher, Mr. Hart walks up to the front of the classroom, “Sorry about the smell the janitors can’t figure out what it is, anybody who wants to can go somewhere else as long as you don’t disrupt any classes.” Most of the class, the ones who only took it because they thought it would be an easy A, get up and walks out of the room. I stay along with a few others who like art as much as me. The art class I’m in is a Junior level class but I got bumped into it because it was the only way I could fit art into my schedule. “Can all you great artists please do a still life of anything in the classroom. You will all get bonus points for this.” We all pull out sketchbooks and move to different spots around the room, I have just finished sketching an easel when Mr. Hart whispers in my ear, “Gray, can I talk to you in the other room?” “Uh yeah sure.” I get up and follow him into the adjoining empty classroom. I look at Mr. Hart’s face taking in his sexy stubble and the way he never buttons the top button of his shirts revealing his collar bone. He leans down and kisses my lips sending a bolt of energy through me. “Woah,” I say pulling away, even though he’s sexy as hell I don’t want to be caught kissing him. “Mr. Hart,are you sure we should be doing this here?” “Gray it’s ok, I know you want it to, I’ve seen the way you look at me,” He pulls me back towards him and another bolt of energy goes through me only this time it feels like it’s leaving my body. My knees start to buckle, and I try to pull away but he holds me even tighter, I get another whiff of sulfur. “GET AWAY FROM HIM!” Mr. Hart Spins around dropping me to the floor. I look towards the door and see Jason, a sophomore who I have always found very attractive. Glancing back at Mr. …but everything was about to change
