— CHAPTER SIXTEEN —

- Monday, December 2nd, 2013 -

When he gets to school, Pete takes a moment before exiting his Kia and walking inside the main building. He doesn't see his best friend Steve anywhere right away, so he walks through the halls to his locker by himself. A few of his peers glance his way when they notice the leather jacket Jeremy gave him—some of them with confusion on their faces because he's never worn anything like it to school before, and others with approval. It feels nice to be met with the latter for once. It makes him hold his head high as he turns the last corner and finally reaches his locker.

After transferring into it some books that he won't need until later in the day, Pete slams the locker shut and turns to find Steve approaching him with his girlfriend on his arm.

"Hey, dude!" Steve greets when he reaches him. He pulls Pete into a hug like they haven't seen each other in months instead of a single weekend.

"Hey," Pete replies, waving at Mia over Steve's shoulder.

When the embrace ends, Steve steps back again and smiles at him. "Dude, where did you get that jacket? It's sweet!"

Pete can't help but smile too. "Oh, it was a gift."

"From who? Where'd they get it?"

Pete smooths his hands anxiously down the front of the buttery-soft leather. He doesn't want to talk about it right in the middle of the hall like this, so he says, "I'll tell you about it later, if that's okay."

Steve frowns but thankfully doesn't push. "Oh. Yeah, sure, I guess."

The bell rings then, and Mia taps Steve's arm. "We should get to class." She looks to Pete. "You have English now too, right?"

Pete nods. "Yeah. Let's go."

As a trio, they walk leisurely through the school to their English classroom, with Mia and Steve talking quietly to each other the whole way there. Pete would usually feel left out by this, like he's the unwelcome third wheel, but he doesn't mind it today. He's actually happy for Mia's presence because it keeps Steve's attention off of him—if she wasn't there, he knows from years of friendship that Steve will very quickly get tired of waiting and ask him again about where he got his jacket.

Pete is ready to tell Steve about him being bisexual and about Jeremy, but he'd prefer if the whole school didn't know yet. While Steve might not understand the part where Pete is seeing a forty-one-year-old man, Pete doesn't think the other boy will really judge him for it. He doesn't think that would be the case with the rest of the school, though. Some of them would probably get on Pete's case and ceaselessly refer to Jeremy as his sugar daddy.

Or maybe something worse.

Sure, Pete would know it wasn't true, but he doesn't like the thought of anyone else assuming that money is the reason he's with Jeremy. He shudders just thinking about it. It's going to be a sad reality
