Wasting The Night Away (Open)

[rilen]

He'd been in the library for a little while catching up on some home work after dinner. In all honesty though he had been eating more than he would normally and he needed to burn off the calories so he headed down to the pool. A few people were in it he could see as he entered the male changing rooms and changed into a pair of shorts. Leaving his bag in one of the lockers he attached the key to his leg before heading to the pool. A pool at school was one of the pros for riverside, he could come here weekends or after school and swim to his hearts content. This was a great place where he could just think or think nothing at all.

Though he was on the water polo team, he had chosen not to join the swim team. He'd rather have two sports he could concentrate on than three or four and he'd struggle to keep up with the fitness regime. He walked to the deep end of the pool and checking to make sure it was clear of traffic dove into the pool. The cold water hitting his skin was a bit of a shock which he got over in a hurry as he started to swim. He'd been swimming for as long as he could remember, coming down here and doing twenty laps really wasn't something that scared him. If it kept him in shape for a game that would be what he did at the end of the day. He'd been at it for what felt like an hour but was probably no more than twenty minutes when some one crossed his path bringing him up short treading water he pulled the goggles up onto his forehead.

"Hey jerk off, could you not see me swimming?" He called after the idiot who had crossed his path.

[cayden]

After everything that was going on Cayden needed a good break. So much stuff was going on in his life and all of it was ruining who he was as a person and he hated it. For the time being though he felt like he had no control over his actions , except when it came to swimming or water polo. Walking down to the in door pool he sighed thinking about all the shit he had been through in the last couple days. He was in love with someone who hated him, but that didn’t matter now.. Love? It was a pathetic thing and he didn’t need to feel it, he was over it just like Jaxon was. He glared at the floor beneath his feet as he walked into the guys locker room and went to his locker and grabbed his swim trunks, he didn’t feel like being in a restricting speedo. As he walked out into the open area and looked down at the pool he groaned remembering the first night he spent at the school in this pool with Jaxon. “Fuck..” He sighed and then walked to the edge of the deep end and immediately dove in not caring about who was in the pool he’d cut off their path if anything he wouldn’t collide into anyone, he was aware just not giving a crap for the most part.

He cut through the water quickly crossing someone’s path but if they were smart they’d just keep going it’s not like they were going to hit him or vice versa, but as Cayden came to the surface he heard the voice call out to him. ‘Great..’ he thought to himself as he turned around noticed that the kid looked familiar. “Jerk off really that’s all you got..? And I was making sure I didn’t hit you so I don’t understand why you got your panties in a twist.” Cayden’s scottish accent very apparent as he had kind of giving up on trying to sound as American as possible. He looked at the kid kind of sizing him up in a way. “You were on chat that day weren’t you..” He said as he continued to look over the kid, he was in shape and cute, why were there so many of that kind around here, each had their own personalities though.

“I hate that, that was your first impression of me. I’m not usually like that.. or this.” He moved so he was standing on the floor of the pool and looked back at the kid.. Shiloh? was his name he was sure. “My name is Cayden and I promise I’m not always such a prick.” He kind of smirked and moved his hand out to shake Shiloh’s.

"Panties really... what are we like both two?" He asked eyes twinkling merrily. Okay so he wasn't that angry, he was just frustrated that some one had managed to break his stride. Not that he was the type to start his routine from scratch and do the whole thing over again mind you. Shiloh tried hard not to think about the cuteness of the guy in front of him, knowing full well that it could lead him down a path that he really didn't want to find out where it went. When Cayden mentioned the chat room incident, he smiled in understanding. So the guy wasn't as big a jerk as he seemed to be. Plus hot sexy Scottish accent, damn it he really wasn't going to go down that route. "It is fine we all have bad days." Shiloh admitted with a smile.

Shiloh swam down the pool to join him, it was getting a little tiring to tread water and talk at the same time. "Shiloh or Shy what ever you prefer." Shiloh said as he walked to the side of the pool placing his googles on the side of the pool he climbed up and sat on the edge his feet dipped into the water. This was the perfect time to take a breather, maybe this guy could proove his first impression of him wrong. Plus from this height he could actually check the guy out and it would look at least to the outsider as if he was meeting the guys eyes. Not really that subtle but he could check out a woman any time he wanted no questions asked. "I really wasn't at my best that night either, so I think we are even on that front." Shiloh said to him running a hand through his hair. "Being new at this school gets old real fast, learning the status quo, learning of the guys I should ignore and those I should make good with. This place should come with its own user guide." He said smiling.

[cayden]

Listening to the kid he couldn't help but smile. Man did they feel the same way on a lot of stuff. "Well we agree on a lot of things heh." He said while moving and sitting down on the steps. He felt like the kid was purposely teasing him sitting there running his hand through his hair and saying stuff that just made Cayden chuckle. But Cayden was sure that wasn't his plan. "Well I guess then we can both say we are happy with both had bad nights so we could meet each other now and start off on a different foot." He didn't always speak the best english it was hard for him sometimes seeing as that it was his second language.

Cayden sat back slowly and moved his hands though his hair after a moment and then just placed his elbows on the step behind him and sat there. He couldn't really tell but for a second it looked like the kid was checking him out but who knew what people were at this school. Looking around for a second and then back towards Shiloh he finally recognized the name, "You're on the water polo team aren't you?" He asked while tilting his head some and smirking. So this was one of his teammates, well it was nice to finally meet someone on the team considering it wasn't water polo season yet.

Shiloh smiled at him and tilted his head sideways, "I guess that is far better than hating each other, for a one of meeting on a chat room which left a lot to be desired." Shiloh admitted. He wasn't really a hateful person, the kid in front of him may have annoyed him slightly and from what he had learned. It was probably not the best idea to get involved with him romantically, then again he had a track record with unfaithfulness to his partners as well. The only difference was that he had been actually dating them, not persuing them with intent to date them like it seemed Cayden had.

Shiloh smiled water polo, was one of those things that he loved to watch being played. He also loved to play it, being on the swim team was a non starter for him. It was far to lonely racing against people you weren't really paying attention to. You were to focused on your own race and getting from point a to be in the fastest time you could manage. Lacrosse and Water polo however were team sports that took quite a bit of concentration and accuracy if you were going to be any good at them. "I like water polo, so it was a no brainer when it came to signing up for it." Shiloh admitted. "I only signed up for two sports, so I could concentrate fully on them both. I'd rather be really good at a couple of sports that mediocre at a lot of sports." Shiloh admitted. Pushing a hand through his wet hair in an attempt to stop water from getting into his eyes. Rolling his eyes at the knowledge that his hair wasn't going to cooperate with his wishs right now. "So if I remember right from when I got given my team stuff, that makes you the captain." He said to the other boy. "So I guess its probably in my best interest to butter you up." He added with a playful smirk.

[cayden]

Cayden wasn't a bad kid. He was used to not dating anyone and just being free but the whole Jaxon thing messed that up for him. He was afraid of his feelings and Shayden was just egging him on during a vulnerable time and he fell for it and well this was where he was now. But Cayden should've known this was where it was headed but oh well. And so he semi-cheated people would say he just cheated but they weren't together yet so why was it such a big deal?

It was but he didn't want it to be anymore.. but the big thing was here was this new guy in front of him and he was absolutely adorable, but Cayden was sure he was straight so he'd have to just keep hands to himself, too bad. The kid was smart though, to only play two sports people who played more and tried to keep up with school got really sick all the time or ended up not showing up to classes because they were too exhausted. He just continued to listen to Shiloh and smiled somewhat, it was more of a grin or smirk, but for Cayden right now it was a good thing.

It was nice just being able to sit down and not have to worry about a damn thing. All he had been doing recently was worrying, thinking, grieving all that other bullshit that comes with the whole in love territory but right now he didn't care about that stuff. Laughing at Shiloh's last statement he merely winked, the kid maybe straight but right now he was flirting whether he wanted to or not and Cayden would embrace it. "Hah, nah…. or hmm maybe you should? I need some buttering up. Yea you can 'butter' me up anytime." Cayden teased in a playful tone the same smirk that graced Shy's face now graced Cayden's.

Shiloh laughed, what the boy in front of him needed was a slap to the back of the head for the monumental cock up he had committed by sleeping with someone else. Other than the person he was more interested in dating, oh well he thought that wasn't his job and he actually wanted the other boy as a friend. He wasn't about to voice that or do anything that might compromise it. Besides he had stuff that he was embarrassed about. "Or I could just get my mother to send you her next smutty romance novel. You never know it could improve your chat up lines." He said to him. It wasn't a secret that his mother did this, hell any one who googled him could probably get a link to that woman. He'd never admit it but he was a little embarrassed by the whole what does your family do to get their money question. "Maybe some diving etiquette lessons for your birthday?" He teased.

He had a goofy kind of smile on his face, "If all else fails we can always get some dr pepper in and break out the wii... see who has the worst dance moves out of the two of us." He said to him with a grin on his face. Changing tracks to something that made him curious, since he had met a few people besides his own room mates in the last few days. "So are you from around here?" He asked. Some of the guys like him were not, he was looking forward to going home in the summer or to somewhere lord knows where. "My parents sent me here because they thought it was a good option school wise. Plus boarding school so they don't have to worry about me actually being at school." He added with a shake of his head.

It also worked out that as his parents were busy people, so hey ship the kid off to school and they'd see him when he came home for holidays. Great idea, really great idea. He didn't know any body at the school as yet, well okay he'd met the cute guy in front of him. And spoken to more people on the chat room, so he thought that he would get on well here. No one as yet had angered him, well okay the guy in front of him had annoyed him twice now. But the boy had reasons for the first time, the second time he was just not being mindful when he crossed Shiloh's path.

[cayden]

Cayden raised an eyebrow at Shy's first statement but in this end he couldn't help but chuckle, this kid whether he knew it or not was flirting and Cayden was certainly falling for it. "Ahh saying I have crappy pick ups are we?" His scottish accent floating in over his words as he smiled back at Shy, he was too damn good looking for his own good. Watching him he could tell he was thinking for a moment before he spoke again about etiquette lessons for his diving, low blow, that was awful. Cayden glared playfully at the statement and then crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned back again. "Hey, I was distracted okay! Usually I'm an amazing diver and would've either waited or dove over you, cause I'm that skilled." He joked back and winked at him before looking around, the place was slowly emptying out, it was kind of nice.

Now what Shy suggested next just made Cayden laugh and get excited all at the same time. Dr. Pepper was one of his favorite drinks and he loved doing goofy stuff like playing stupid dance games on different game consoles, though he had to admit he was pretty good at DDR on playstation. Smiling Cayden nodded, "I like that idea Shy, be warned though I may kick your butt, I've got some pretty sweet dance moves." Cayden rolled his eyes at the statement knowing it was a bunch or horse shit on his part, but they were just talking about random shit that didn't have any major important, just playing around so it was all good.

"I'm originally from Scotland, hence my so called accent, but I think everyone here has an accent so I guess I'm stuck between a rock and hard place on that one. Then I moved to Rhode Island, if you ask me what city/town I will tell you now I never paid much attention hah." Cayden couldn't help but laugh a little at himself considering the fact that he was telling the truth. "How about you where are you from?" He was allowed to be curious too, wasn't he? And why not learn more about Shiloh, he was cute, funny and really easy to talk to. "And once again I'm sorry about all the crap you've already endured because of me, I'm sure I've pissed you off or annoyed you, so I'm sorry." Cayden smiled weakly at Shy and stood up walking closer to him putting his hand up, Cayden in the end was a genuine guy, and wasn't nearly as bad as he had seemed to most people on those couple of days.

Shiloh grinned at him, "Me say you have crappy chat up lines never, that would suggest I've heard them." He said smiling. He knew he was flirting he just couldn't be bothered to hold that instinct in check around Cayden. Probably the only openly gay guy he knew at this school, well at least the ones he felt sure about anyway. He felt safe enough around him to be more like his true self than he would around most of the other people in this school. Knowing that he wouldn't be judged or outed by some idiot with the wrong idea or the right one as the case may be. "As long as you don't land on someones head or groin I suppose you can be forgiven." He said with a smile he blushed a little at the wink though through his darkened skin it would be hard to tell.

Shiloh snorted he had the hand to eye coordination to be a damn fine athlete but his dance moves were a little uncoordinated. Maybe those dance lessons would have come in handy after all, he smiled at the thought. "Your going down Scots boy. Prepare for sudden death." He said playfully. If he was going to lose he'd at least show he had gumption.

"I'm game when ever you are." "I am a Texan by birth though we live in Los Angles these days. My parents sent me to this school for some reason, the boarding schools in LA aren't quite what they were looking for. Probably thought I'd go to to many parties or something." Shiloh said to him. "I think I'd prefer 90210 to Harry Potter myself, but I like this school for some strange reason." He explained. He did, he would prefer to be at home going to school locally. The food wasn't to bad and the people were good to be around. "Who wouldn't want to see ladies in bikinis." Shiloh said to him with a grin or you in a pair of speedos not covered in water and obscured he thought to himself and mentally slapped himself for letting his mind go there. "Its cool, apology accepted." He said smiling. "I can never stay annoyed at people for very long, even if they truly piss me of. Your little diving stunt was frustrating as hell is all." He told him honestly. "I had set a number of laps I wanted to complete before calling a day, you breaking my stride means I either start all over again not at all." He admitted. His training regime was that strict or rather he was that strict about it. "So yeah thanks for that." He said grinning as he took the hand firmly in his and shaking it.

[cayden]

Cayden just laughed at him a little and then closed his eyes and took in a nice breath. He was having a lot of fun and laughing/chuckling a lot so he had to catch his breath. Shiloh was something else and he was really laid back and cool and spoke his mind when he wanted which was great, Cayden liked those kinds of people, especially when they were good looking.

"Yea girls in bikinis are nice, I guess but I like guys is anything else just a little better." Of course Cayden winked after speaking and then listened to the rest of what Shy had to say. Cayden actually felt really bad especially since he understood how he felt with the whole routine thing. A set number of laps, if you messed up you started over or just stopped, man that was annoying, but Cayden worked the same way and completely understood. "Man I'm really sorry, I understand what you mean, well next time I promise I'll stay clear so you can finish it, but think of it this way… If I hadn't been such a prick you would've never stopped and we would've never had this conversation." With that Cayden placed his arms up in a 'right?' gesture and smirked at the same time.

Cayden had already pulled his hand away from the hand shake and then just stood there in the water below Shiloh smiling up at him. "So when do you want to go watch me kick your butt at the Wii dance game?" He rose his eyebrow and tilted his head a little bit, while still looking up at him, in wonder.

Shiloh did well not to smile or sneer or show any sign that what Cayden had said had got to him. Of course he knew Cayden was gay, what the hell else would he be after that display in the chatroom the other night. He'd admit that he was attracted to Cayden, in his mind anyway. He was so firmly in the closet, mainly because he knew what being outed could do to him and his standing in the school if the wrong people knew. Of course if you asked him whether his popularity meant that much to him he'd have told you no outright. "Guys huh, so speedos or g-strings it is for you then." He teased lightly thinking to himself me as well me as well. When Cayden apologised he waved his hand away, "I spend way to much time in a pool swimming lengths I can come down here tomorrow and make up for the slack today." He said to him with a grin on his face. The funny thing was he'd come down tomorrow night and do exactly the same routine and push the rest of what he had missed in tonights exercise into it.

"Anytime you want big boy, just dont forget your dancing queen outfit." Shiloh replied lightly with a huge grin on his face as he dropped back down into the water feeling a little cold. He dropped his head beneath the surface coming back up he pushed his now sopping wet hair out of his face and smiled. "And when I kick your ass at dancing, I'll kick your ass on guitar hero, just to show I can do both." He said to him. It was all talk, they had about as equal a chance to beat each other as possible. Having not played each other at either game before.

"So you want to play in here for a bit longer, or do you want to put your money where your mouth is and go throw someone of the wii in the basement?" He asked.
