Under the Same Sky [BOYXBOY]

CHAPTER 1

The courtyard of Lumière International High School was bristling with staff and students, both new and old. The new students were staring wide-eyed at the school which would now be their home for most of the year.

A sleek black stretch limo pulled up and a well-dressed chauffeur stepped out. He walked to the other side of the limo and pulled open the door.

A pair of black sneakers stepped out and walked a few steps away from the car. The teenaged boy took in his new surroundings with a scowl. He put on his earpiece and stuck his hands into his oversized hoodie.

A red stiletto soon appeared and his mother stepped out of the car, coming to stand beside him. The resemblance between them was uncanny. She looked prim and proper in her well-tailored suit and was wearing a matching scowl on her beautiful face.

'Remember, always conduct yourself properly and try your best to keep out of trouble.'

'Mhm.'

She frowned and pulled the earpiece out of his ears. 'Are you listening to me?!'

The boy rolled his eyes. 'Yes, mother. I'll be sure to keep my gay ass out of trouble and not embarrass you with any filthy homosexual acts.'

His mother's eyes softened a little. She reached out her hand but pulled it back after a second thought.

'Jayden-,' she began but was cut off by the arrival of a student.

'Hey there, good afternoon and welcome to Lumière International High School. If you'll please follow me, first years are supposed to sign in at the registration desk.'

She glanced at him and nodded, following the bubbling student towards the registration desk.

They passed by other students and a family huddled in front of a van. A teenager's loud voice rose out from within the huddled group, protesting quite loudly.

'Hey! That's enough hugs and tears mom, I'm going to boarding school not joining the fricking army!'

A deep mature voice chuckled. 'That's enough son, allow your mother to let it out. You may be going to school, but she won't be seeing you for a while.'

'But dad!' the teenager protested. 'I can't breathe, she's squeezing me too tight. If she goes on like this, you don't have to worry about her not seeing me for a while cause at this rate she's only going to see my cold corpse.'

His father let out a chuckle and his mum sniffled, hugging him even tighter.

'C'mon Dad, do something, she's ruining my reputation! My new friends will think I'm some sort of momma's boy.'

An older teenaged girl chuckled by his side and poked him in the ribs. 'But you are a momma's boy, aren't you?'

'DAD!'

'That's enough Cissy, stop teasing your brother. You know how he gets.'

The girl, Cissy, pouted. The boy wriggled himself out of his mother's arms. 'Look what you did mom, one of my mates is staring at us. God knows what he thinks of me now!'

He broke away from his family and jogged up to Jayden who had been staring at them the entire time. He stuck out his hand and introduced himself with a bright smile plastered on his face.

'Hi, I'm Samuel Kwabena Asamoah but you can call me S.K. What's your name?'

Jayden glanced down at his outstretched hand and stared at it for a few seconds before simply walking away, his hands still firmly tucked into his hoodie.

Samuel stared after his retreating figure, his arm still hanging in the air. He put it down and turned back to his family.

'AHH! SAMMY! What do you mean jumping unto my back like that! Do you want to kill me?!'
