A Chance at Love
CHAPTER ONE: Just Another Day
Ben looks around his room. It was a medium sized room with white painted walls and yellow designs on them. Both the colours weren't his favourite but at least it looked good.
A desk was situated on the right hand side, just a little distance away from his bed. On top of it were his books and other things you could put on a desk. The type of fan Ben had could make him catch a cold even in summer. He knew winter was coming so he had to say goodbye to it for a while.
He got up from his bed, checking the time, it was 6am. Ben didn't have an option of sleeping in because it was Monday, he had to get ready for school.
He opens his eyes wide, hoping the sleep would go away. It didn't.
Why was he so sleepy you may wonder? Well, Ben spent last night watching vlogs and fan made YouTube videos of his favourite ship in a newly concluded gay reality dating show.
Shameless, he knows but he wanted to live in their reality since he hasn't experienced the type of love they have.
It was no secret that he was gay. His family knows, his extended family knows. Hell, even his whole school knows. He came out to his family when he was thirteen years old, about to start this boarding school. His family were very supportive and protective of him.
Which was why they insisted he stay in the apartment that wasn't meant for students. His grandparents were the owner of the school. They built the two bedroom bungalow meant for staying whenever they come around to inspect and check the school.
They wanted Ben to stay here instead of the boy's dormitory. He doesn't exactly know why, he just concluded it was them being overly protective since he was thirteen when he came out. He didn't want to think about the possible reasons.
Ben arranged the books he needed for today and went to the bathroom to do his business. He got dressed in his school uniform, a white long sleeve and black pants and stepped out....
