Ch3. Slip Up
#3 of Home of the Pioneers
Well, the gauntlet is thrown. Dex is no idiot, and it looks like Adan has some tough choices to make.
I sat down in the back of the English class as usual on Monday. My head had finally stopped hurting and the lump had gone away. Again to my right sat Aden. The equine didn't even look up.
At first.
He turned to me and looked me in the eye, his face expressionless.
"Sorry."
My mouth refused to work for a second.
"What?"
"I said sorry. I got upset."
Huh. This is new....
"Ok." I opened the book in front of me, and got my folder out, retrieving my homework.
"Well?"
I realized Aden was still looking at me.
"Well what?"
The horse snorted. Now he was looking a little annoyed.
"Do you accept my apology or not?"
Whats his game? I wasn't born yesterday. I might as well play along though.
"Sure, why not." I shrugged keeping my face neutral.
"Good."
I sat through English trying my best to keep my mind on the work. The equine had apologized? The biggest ass in school? I could smell a trap a mile away though. Mr. Cocky Bastard here wasn't going to fool me so easily.
The next two classes passed, then it was time for lunch. I sat down in a far corner of the cafeteria and opened my lunch bag. Good old P B and J. Thanks mom. I also pulled out a book and started reading as I ate, the sweet taste of grape jam filled my tongue. Someone sat down across from me.
Adan.
He had a tray of food. It contained a huge helping of porridge, some type of cooked grains and a salad.
"What do you want?"
I really wasn't in a mood to play twenty questions.
"Um, mind if I join you?"
Adan laid his ears back a bit.
I was not being fooled. The ear posture was entirely wrong.
"yes I do."
The colt looked nonplussed but began eating his food.
I ignored him as he munched away. I finished my sandwich and stood up, throwing the bag away. I walked out to the courtyard and parked my butt under a tree. I still had a good twenty minutes of relaxing reading.
The shadow blocked my light. I looked up. Despite my previous misgivings I stared. Hard. Adan stood over me. No, he loomed over me. My eyes took the entire sight of him standing there in. He looked imposing.
"Listen, can we just talk?"
I gave up.
"Why?"
The colt shuffled his hoof.
"I don't have any friends really...."
I laughed. "I can see why...."
This time the colts ears went back. He was embarrassed.
"Listen, we're stuck in the same high school for the next two years, we might as well make the best of it."
I sighed. I guess it wouldn't hurt to at least see what he was like when he wasn't being such an ass.
I nodded once. Adan sat down next to me. His head was much higher than mine.
"So where did you go before?" He asked taking a bite of an apple. Some of the juices stuck to his whiskers.
"Anderson."
"What brings you here?"
"My dad moved."
Adan nodded.
This is awkward
"Look, why were you such an ass to me? I mean really? You're a jerk"
Adan laughed lightly, a slight nickering sound to it. "You don't know many equines do you?" I shook my head no.
"If you did you'd understand."
"Oh, I didn't say I didn't understand. I know 'horse' well enough that you aren't being entirely honest with me. I also know you studs are a total pain. How do I know? My grandpa has a farm. Some of the normal horses, especially the studs are a total pain. Just like you are."
Adan laughed. "Touche."
"At least I'm not some type of ape-descendant."
I rose my eyebrow. Adan tapped the book cover. "Hitchiker's Guide" he laughed.
"It's a good book." I eyed him.
"What?"
"You can read?" I mock smiled at him.
"Very funny. Yes I can."
The bell rang indicating lunch time was over. I sighed as I rose. Adan dusted the grass off of his pants.
"Well, see you in P.E. I guess."
Adan grinned as he walked away.
**
Hah! The sucker fell for it! Just a few coaxing lines to get him to let his guard down. And the idiot had his facespace page open for all to see. I'd found the 'like' of the books he'd enjoyed and found he was an avid reader. It was so easy to web-search up a few lines to make it look like I knew what I was talking about. Especially when he posted "Currently reading Adams HG"
Oh he'll never see it coming.......hah!!
No one bests me!
**
I walked into the P.E. Locker room as usual, stripping down and getting dressed. I spied Adan out of the corner of my eye as he came in. "Hi Dex...."
"Um....hi" I responded. Cory, the read head was next to me. He gave me an inquisitive look. I just shrugged.
I jogged out to the warm up area as Mr. Wilke gave us our directions. Stretches, lunges, sit ups, push ups. I tried not to stare at Adan, but I found him looking at me a few times. I tried not to blush.
**
Oh I'm not that stupid. I know the jerk has some type of evil plan, but it is hard not to blush when an equine dream is staring at you. I was going to keep my guard up as high as possible. Yeah, that's the plan anyway. Hopefully I don't slip up. The last "plan" I had didn't work well, well, more about that later though. Right now I have one big plan. Stay out of trouble. I can smell it coming from Adan a mile away though.
**
I began my run with the others, quickly outpacing them. Soon I heard the rhythmic clops of Adan draw up even to me. "You're not a bad runner..."
I nodded.
"For a non-equine that is." Adan sped up. I overtook him. I stayed just about three paces in front of him. No point in beating him entirely. I already had a taste of what that was like. I'd get him back someday though.
"Ok....and for an equine...."
Our run came to an end. We were both panting a little. I know Adan had tried to out do me by how much sweat marked his coat. The coach chuckled. "Well Adan, I see you're trying to keep up with the competition again."
I saw the brief scowl from Adan before he hid it. "Well, he is fast."
Hrm. Nice try horsey.
The whole class shuffled into the gym. No Horse this time, just team practice. We had enough in the combined gym classes to have four teams. This time Adan stuck near me when the names were called, and sure enough the coach put us on a team together.
Great.....
The practice went well. It was just a fun game. I found that Adan, when he wasn't being a total ass, wasn't bad to be around, but I knew he was cooking something up. He passed me the ball a few times and I made a few shots. I found the equine smiling at me from time to time. Finally the bell rang. We all headed to the gym to change and go home.
The coach called me over before I had a chance to enter the gym. "Listen Dex, I know a little of went on before. Your mom talked to me about it. If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here."
My mouth opened and closed a little. My Mom? Would talk to someone about what went on? I just nodded. Mr. Wilke was trying to get more information out of me. I just nodded or shook my head. Especially when he asked if I wanted to talk. He finally relented.
"Well I'm your coach, and a teacher here so you can always talk to me ok?" I just nodded and jogged to the showers.
I stripped down next to my locker and grabbed a towel and headed into the shower.
My heart stopped. There was Adan showering, in his speedoes as usual. He grinned at me shyly. "Hey."
I just nodded and started showering. I soaped myself up thinking about the conversation with the coach.
I could tell something was wrong. The back of my neck prickled. There was some type of sound. It was faint, but plastic. Plastic being hit by water. A phone.......
I turned as quickly as I could and snatched the phone out of Adan's hand. The equine slipped a little on the wet tile.
"Fuck!"
He went down. Hard.
"What the fuck is this Adan?" The huge equine sat on his rump on the floor. I towered over him. I held the cell phone in it's water proof case. I looked at the screen. The camera was on.
"I see......"
The colts eyes went cold.
I ripped the phone out of it's water tight case and threw it to the floor, the screen shattering..
Adan scrambled trying to get up. I hated what I was about to do, but I needed to do it.
I kicked him hard in the side. The equine grunted and fell back. Again he tried to rise. I kicked him again.
"Come on pony-boy, what's the matter? Can't get it up?"
"Fuck you!" The colt snapped.
He scrambled again with his hooves sliding around. I just gently rocked him back onto his rump and planted my foot hard over his crotch.
"Listen to me colt, I've had enough. You want to be enemies, fine. You can have the worst fucking enemy of your life in me. You want to be friends? Well you better fucking work at it."
Is he getting hard?
I could feel the throbbing member pushing against my foot trying to slip out of it's sheath. I kept my face impassive.
I looked deep into his eyes to let him know I knew what was going on under my foot. I saw his eyes widened in terror for a split second, and then his ears went back into a submissive stance.
"I see I've got your attention. Now either man up or leave me the fuck alone." Dex strode out of the shower.
**
Damnit! How had he known? How did he know I would try to take a picture of him? And he was fast. Holy fuck was he fast. And now how do I explain to my dad that the new phone is ruined?
Fuck me!
Yes that damned human is getting to me in more ways than one. I'm finding that the hes also a good team mate, passing the ball, and helping. It doesn't hurt hes cute.
Fuck ok I'll admit it. I think I'm getting the hots for Dex. What do you care? You don't have to read this. No? Not stopping? Well don't judge me then. So what if I'm bi?
Idiot!
So there I was about to take the picture when Dex turns into a some type of ninja and snags my phone. My evil plan was laid bare. God I hate tile floors. My right hoof slipped only a little, but that's all it takes. I went down hard on my rump. Thank god I didn't break my tail!
And then.....then he stood there. He taunted me. He wouldn't let me get up. I admit I was turned on. A lot. Not many people can knock me down and keep me down. If I'd been on grass, well, I wasn't was I? I was half naked in the shower with Dex standing over me.
Fuck now I'm getting a hardon now. Shit, better turn the water to cold.
Oh hold on.
"no It's just me Mr. Wilke, taking a long shower, I'll be leaving soon."
So there he was standing over me. His foot on my crotch. I felt my traitor of a cock begin to stir. I had prayed it would stay still, but it didn't. Soon I could see in Dex's face he knew. He KNEW.
Like I said....I think I have the hots for him.
That lecture about manning up or staying the fuck away. Damn. It struck a chord in me. I know the leader of the herd when I see it, and something in Dex makes him the leader. He'd never acted like that before at school and it turns me on so much thinking about it.
Fuck!
Cold cold cold! Yikes. That's better.
Ok, I'm finishing this shower and going home.
