Chapter 3 - Thursday - Part Two
I look up when I hear my name and slowly stand looking over at Benji. He smiles. I’m beginning to treasure every smile.
We all slowly walk to the front of the class. I stand beside one boy as Benji is on the other side.
“Alright we are going to act out conception. So I want Billy to stay here and the rest of you go to the back of the class. (a/n: yes cheesy but I need someway for them to interact more! So just read on!)”
I watched as Benji and the others made their way to the back of the class.
“Now Billy, give us your best impression of an egg.” I just look at the teacher.
“Alright, good enough. Benji, Matt, Tommy and Mark, you are sperm.”
I smile and look back at Benji as he raises his arms and laughs, “Woohoo!” He smiles at me and we turn back to the teacher to hear what we have to do.
An air of confidence comes over me and I throw all my self-consciousness away. I'm gonna have some fun with this!
The teacher continues, “After ejaculation,” there’s giggles running through the class, “the sperm travel up towards the egg. Boys start coming towards Billy.”
I crack up as Benji starts doing this weird little swimming thing- soo adorable!
“Benjamin what are you doing?” The teacher asks.
“I'm a sperm! I'm swimming!” He grins at me.
“Okay well stop for a second. Not every sperm makes it to the egg, so Matt- sit down, you’re dead.”
The whole time the teacher is talking Benji and I are visually connected. His eyes sweep my body and settle back on my face. I smile and he smiles back. His gorgeous brown eyelashes fluttering as he blinks.
“Okay so Benji keep coming,” we laugh and Benji continues his little sperm dance.
“When a strong sperm reaches the egg, Benji grab onto Billy…”
Oh My God! WHAT! Benji smiles at me and reaches for my arm. At the contact I feel my arm get all tingly, and my skin feels like its on fire. If I'm not careful- I might act out the previous part of conception!
I look down at Benji’s hand grasping my upper arm right above my elbow. My eyes travel up to his face and the teacher interrupts me.
“Now that the sperm is attached to the egg- no more of the sperm that reach it have any purpose. So the egg and sperm beat off,” another laugh between Benji and I, “Benji and Billy, push the other sperm away.”
I cannot believe what is happening, Benji’s hand has slipped down and is planted firmly in mine. I am hardly able to stand. My knees are jelly, and my hand is surprisingly cool- not sweaty or clammy.
“The egg and sperm are now one….” My mind is racing, my pulse is pounding so hard. I know Benji can feel my shaking form.
His hand is warm and fits perfectly in mine. I never expected this in my entire life.
I'm standing in a fucking room holding Benji’s hand. The fucking hand of the only boy I’ve ever loved.
“Billy?” he whispers- his mouth a mere centimeters from my ear.
The teacher is talking to us again, “…after that happens the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterus. Boys attach yourself to the wall,” I smile and pull Benji towards the wall. We stand up against it still holding hands. “where it stays for the next 36 weeks.”
“Let’s give a hand to our demonstrators.” The class claps and Benji pulls me to the front and bows. I laugh and take his lead, our hands together, we bow again.
I slide my hand out of his as we smile at each other and make our way to our seats.
As soon as we sit down the bell rings and the class files out.
Benji and I exchange glances and smiles once again on our way out and go opposite directions in the hallway.
