Taking the same path they took to sneak in the boys think it'll be just as easy to sneak out, but are proved wrong when another security guard turns down the hall they're in. Yanking Baz into a corner, Damien covers his mouth with his hand and stands against him. Baz is unsure of which is freaking him out more, the guard coming, Damien's front pressed up against him, or the hand covering his mouth. They stay like that for about a minute until the guard is completely gone.

Not saying another word to each other the boys finally leave the school and run to Damien's car, the awkward interaction between the two left them speechless. Damien had no choice but to do it he's not sure how to clarify that to Baz. When Damien gets to Baz's house they walk to the gate "how much do I owe you?"

"100"

Damien smiles taking out his wallet "giving me a discount?" Baz doesn't answer so Damien hands him the money

"Do you mind not telling anyone that we snuck into school?" They stare at each other not standing too far apart and Damien nods, "thanks."

Walking away Baz is about to open the gate but Damien says "I had fun" stopping Baz from going in, "I like doing bad shit" his adrenaline is still rushing remembering what it felt like to do bad things.

"Danger is exhilarating"

Taking steps closer Damien asks "can you keep a secret, Baz?" He nods unsure of where the question is going, Baz waits for more but Damien says nothing. Instead, he stops in front of Baz leaning close

causing Baz to step back but his back hits the gate, unable to back up any further Baz is stuck as Damien's lips wrap around his.

The boy gently kisses him then pulls away leaving Baz stunned.

This was an actual opportunity to kiss a guy, a cute quiet guy Baz would never expect to kiss him of all people. So he moves forward bringing his lips to Damien and they continue to kiss.

"Did he text you?" Silver walks up to Baz asking as he's shutting his locker the next morning "Who?"

"Damien Allen, I gave him your number and address he really needed help to take a retest today for

Jennings, and I said my best friend would def help. So did you?"

Thinking about everything that happened last night Baz replies "I think so." Parting ways with Silver Baz heads to his first couple of classes.

With the biggest grin on his face, Damien walks to Jennings desk dropping his test being the first to be done. "you sure you don't want to check it?" The teacher asks

"Yes I'm sure" he walks out of class, with everyone else still in class Damien heads to his regular smoking spot, which also happens to be Baz's meeting place with clients.

When he walks out he sees Baz with a girl as they whisper to each other, not lighting the cigarette in his mouth Damien just watches the interaction. "It's 3 pages on the French Revolution and it's due next Friday"

"That's really easy Natalie, you sure you don't want to give it a try first before you pay for a paper?" "I have better things to do all right, can you do it or not?"

"Yeah I can" As they're talking Baz looks around and his eyes land on Damien who's staring right at them, feeling himself get nervous Baz turns back to Natalie trying to seem unaware that Damien is standing there.

"How much?"

"50 for a C plus, 60 for a B plus, and 80 for an A plus." "I'll take a B plus"

"Ok I'll have it on Monday" "That soon?"

He takes another look at Damien, "yes now get out of here I think someone's coming" "Shit ok" she rushes away.

Damien smiles and Baz panics as the boy walks towards him. "How'd it go?" Baz asks, not answering Damien drops his bag and kisses Baz.

Leaning him against the wall they make out with each other in broad daylight behind the school, "that good huh?" Baz asks when Damien pulls away for air, then their lips meet again.

"Hey! You 2!" Pushing Damien off Baz sees a security guard coming towards them with no time to run.

Sitting in the waiting area until it's their turn to go in and see his dad, Baz taps his leg nervous for what's to come, Damien notices and leans over whispering "chill dude it's fine"

"You chill! And no it's not fine"

"Boys VP Basilton is ready for you guys"

"Let me do all the talking," Baz says as they get up, walking into his dad's office he starts "dad we weren't skipping all right this is my free period, and he got out of his class early"

"That's not why you're in here Ewan, you know there's no fornicating on school grounds." "Oh my god dad we weren't fornicating, never say that again" Baz reacts embarrassed. "What's your name son?" He looks over at Damien who's kept quiet like he was told "Damien Allen"

"Are you Ewan's boyfriend?"

"Jesus" Baz covers his face

"I don't know who Ewan is" Damien replies to be funny.
