Astral High - Chapter 37
#39 of Astral High
So uh, this chapter isn't the most appropriate. ... Probably one of the most graphic since that first chapter, so... yeah, don't say I didn't warn you.
Only five seconds after we sat down at the lunch table, Jeran sat down next to Titus. He kept glancing- well, starring really- at Titus and was noticeably looking downward when he did so.
"So... Jeran, right?" [Dustin]
"Huh? Oh, yeah." [Jeran]
"Someone seems distracted." [Daniel]
"Someone's getting on my nerves." [Titus]
"I can't help it, you're just really attractive." [Jeran]
"That'd be a compliment if I actually liked you like that."
"Oh, that's cold." [Garrick]
"There you guys are!" X slammed his lunch tray between me and Dustin. "I knew you guys had first lunch, but I didn't know where you guys sat! So, who're these guys?"
"Uh, I'm Dustin."
"Jeran."
"Oh, name's Xenon."
"Since when do you go by Xenon?" [Garrick]
"Since I met someone as cute as Jeran." As X said this, Jeran blushed and bowed his head a little.
"Really?" [Jeran]
"Of course."
"Well, this is revolting to watch." [Titus]
"Don't ruin this for me!" [Jeran]
"God, you're such a wimp. Sorry... whore, is more accurate." [Garrick]
"You're just gonna call him whore for no reason? That's logical." [Xenon]
"You don't have him in fourth, and first, and sixth. He acts like a slut, X."
"I do not!" [Jeran]
"And who cares if he did? You say it like it's a bad thing! If I completely fell in love with him, would it matter?" [X]
"Love?"
"Wow, that's a big leap from thinking someone looks cute." [Seth]
"Hey, there's such a thing called love at first sight. I mean, there's me and you." [Me]
"Yeah, but love at first sight is supposed to work both ways. I mean, I liked you, certainly more than just a friend, but not necessarily love. I mean- before Christmas."
"Wait, even after the whole suicide thing?"
"You tried to commit suicide?" [Jeran]
"It was last year, I'm over it." [Seth]
"Point being, it's okay if X is weirdly in love with Jeran knowing nothing about him." [Me]
"I'm okay with it. He's cute." I noticed X's ears prick upward when Jeran said this, and his eyes lit up like he'd just won the lottery.
"So, do you... wanna see how cute I am?" [X]
"Hey, what do you know, I'm done sitting here! Everyone, leave, now!" [Daniel]
We all simultaneously stood up, headed for an empty table and ate in silence, then headed off to the auditorium, leaving X and Jeran behind. Once inside the auditorium, we all sat down near the front, further away from where most people were, who were too lazy to walk more than twelve steps down the stairs.
"Man, that stage looks awesome..." [Garrick]
"Okay, let's account for all the people who know about it." [Ted]
"I don't." [Daniel]
"Neither do I." [Garrick]
"Right, so you two can wander off and-" [Dustin]
"I'm not leaving Ted's side." [Daniel]
"Yeah, and why should I have to go?" [Garrick]
"Gaw! I can't stand not knowing!" [Ted]
"I thought you knew." [Daniel]
"I know the big part of it, or maybe it's the small part..."
"It's the smallest part." [Dustin]
"Right, so I know about it, just not all about it." [Ted]
"Why can't you just tell me?" [Daniel]
"Ehh..." [Ted]
"What? Why can't I know?"
"Well it isn't exactly our secret to tell-" [Seth]
"So you admit it's a secret!" [Garrick]
"We never said it wasn't." [Titus]
"So if it's not your secret, who's is it?" [Daniel]
"Mine." [Dustin]
"And Marko's and Tanner's." [Me]
"What." [Ted]
"And my triplets'." [Dustin]
"Tanner knows?" [Ted]
"Yeah, said something about time." [Titus]
"Oh yeah, that's Marko. Man's a genius. Figured out the time string." [Dustin]
"Does no one understand the gravity of this?! He can kill me with the snap of his fingers!" [Ted]
"It doesn't exactly work like that." [Dustin]
"Does for him, crippilation anyone?" [Me]
"Yeah, snapping and this-" Dustin warped his hand into a weird shape, "are two different things."
"What the hell is crippilation?" [Daniel]
"A branch of praecantatia, apparently." [Titus]
"Wait, what?! You guys know?!" [Garrick]
"God dammit!" [Daniel]
"How'd you find out?" [Garrick]
"Dustin's boyfriend slash brother told us." [Me]
"You guys pressured us into it." [Dustin]
"Woah... That explains a lot, actually. I mean, the whole, Take a Bow, thing. I looked that song up last night, it makes sense."
"What the hell is pray-can-tawsh...ea-uh..." [Daniel]
"You pronounced it right. I think. I have no idea, I looked it up online." [Titus]
"Well, it's a magical thing." [Seth]
"Oh, that's real helpful." [Daniel]
"He's telling the truth." [Me]
"Okay, if it's something about sex, than I'm disappointed in you, Ted." [Daniel]
"It's not sex, it's really magical!" [Garrick]
"Well, unless it's blue magic." [Titus]
"Magic, what?" [Daniel]
"Wow, way to break the joke, Titus." [Dustin]
"Wait-... Do you guys seriously believe in magic?" [Daniel]
"I don't know, would you dump me if I said yes?" [Ted]
"No! I'd never-"
"I know, I just... wanted to make sure."
"Okay... So, since you guys believe in magic, why don't you prove it's existence?" [Daniel]
"Oh, easy!"
Titus started to raise his hands but Dustin stopped him, "Why don't I deal with this?"
"But I can make a ball of fire."
"For like two seconds. Come on, let's get a more private room."
"No, you ain't takin' my boyfriend anywhere." [Ted]
"Jeez, calm down."
"Can someone just prove it to me already?" [Daniel]
Dustin suddenly moved forward, grabbed Daniel, reaching his through his chest, holding his hand in the massive, organ filled cavity. Daniel was just left there, gasping, eyes dilating, and seeming in complete and utter shock. Dustin moved the stump of his arm downwards, and I realized Dustin's hand wasn't cutting a hole in Daniel's chest, it simply phased through the flesh and bone. Dustin moved his hand further down, getting closer and closer to Daniel's crotch, and pulling his hand further and further out. I noticed Daniel's pants growing, a bulge building, and Ted seemed on edge.
"What are you doing to him?" [Ted]
"Toying with-"
Daniel suddenly gasped and I noticed his girth poking out of his shorts and he blatantly... er... released onto the back of a seat in the auditorium.
"You ass!" [Ted]
Dustin pulled his hand away, from out of... that. "Sorry, Titus kept making jokes, and my strength is illusions, so, yeah."
"Illusions? That's it's own form of magic?" [Me]
"Ah-... Wha-... Wait, what? What happened?" [Daniel]
"Dustin's strength is blue magic." [Titus]
"You know, if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna guess that's your strength." [Dustin]
"Not that I know of, but if so-" [Titus]
"No- no! What just happened?! I swear, just three seconds ago I was with Ted-" [Daniel]
"Aww.... Okay, you messing with him is okay." [Ted]
"Wha- what? Wait, did I..." Daniel looked down and saw the stain on the seat and saw his still full blown boner. "Woah! Uhh... Ted?"
"We've only got two minutes, Daniel. That's not enough time." [Titus]
"Oh, that's what blue magic is!" [Garrick]
"Yeah, no shit." [Me]
"I can't believe I just now got that." [Garrick]
"Ted!" Ted shifted over to Daniel, and let himself be pulled up to his body and held there, covering his entire front.
"Wow, Ted's kinda pudgy." [Titus]
"I am not!" [Ted]
"No, it's a cute pudgy." [Garrick]
"I think it's actually stretching, rather than fat." [Me]
"From what-... Oh god." [Titus]
"Geez, at least wait until you're out of high school!" [Dustin]
"Shut up! I love him, and if I want to have sex with him, than that's my decision, not my friends'!" [Ted]
"... Woah, calm down. We aren't judging you." [Me]
"He is!"
"Ted, I was just joking around, I didn't know it meant so much to you. If it makes you feel any better, me and brothers already did it."
"... Were you on bottom?"
"They kinda had a devil's three way with me, so what do you think?"
"Okay, I'm done being in here. This is way more information than I'm willing to know. Anyways, we've got like thirty seconds before the lunch bell rings. Onward to the next class!" I turned around and started off up the stairs, with the others following.
