Chad's POV

Dinner went surprisingly well. He talked more than I've ever heard and I couldn't help, but stare at him all night. I knew he had a talkative side to him. I smiled at the memory of his laugh, so smooth and happy. I could listen to it forever. I was stupid when I held him back when we were upstairs.  Now he'll question me Monday what it was all about.

I don't know what made me do it and to think I was going to tell him I was in love with him! I'm such an idiot!

He'd never love me back and I don't want to scare him off.

What if he wasn't even gay?

My stomach turned, I didn't want to think about that.

What if he's homophobic?  What will I do?

I'll be so heart broken because I've loved him for so long, I didn't even think aout him not being gay. Now I can't even tell him I'm gay, not yet. But, I still need to come up with something in case he remembers and asks again.

What should I tell him? That my hampster died? That it was tragic, so I wanted to tell him about it in case he saw a hampster cage anywhere. I shook my head, what the hell am I thinking? That's stupid, he'd never believe that. I need to come up with something before Monday.

"Chad?" My door opened and my mom walked in.

"Chad, I need you to pick up Elizabeth after school Monday. I have a doctors appointment."

"Okay, what time?" I asked.

"3:30, don't forget." She glares.

"It was one time!" I defended and she gave me a look.

"What about that time when she had to go to her band practice? Or when she had singing lessons?" She raised her eyebrow as if daring me to reply with defence once more. I just huffed and muttered,

"Whatever..." she rolled her eyes and walked out.

I climbed into bed around 1:30 a.m. and sighed. I need to come up with something quick before Monday. But the question is...what?

                         *         *        *

The weekend went by in a blur and soon it was Monday. I wasn't ready to go back yet, I still hadn't come up with a plan and I was freaking out! I tried to calm myself as I pulled up into the school parking lot and slowly got out. I looked around and couldn't find Cory in the court yard. I sighed in relief and started walking to the front door of the school.

"Hey Chad." I mentally groaned.

So close.

I turned and faced Cory. I smiled a little,  "Hey Cory."

"How was your weekend?" He asked nervously and I couldn't help but grin.

"All I did was play video games and sleep." I laughed, "what about you?"

We started walking inside towards his locker. Everyone was staring at us weirdly. Some questioning, but I ignored them.

He shrugged, "Went to visit my grandma and sister. Read some and drew." I nodded and we arrived at his locker and I looked around whole he put up and got his books.

"Afraid to be seen with me?" He asked and I widened my eyes.

"No! I was just looking around and...um..while you were putting your books in your locker! I'm not afraid to be seen with you!" I rambled and the corners of his mouth twitched until he busted out laughing.

"I was just joking with you Chad." I blushed and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Oh."

He was still laughing and I grinned.

"Remind me to mess with you more often. It's fun." He laughed again before finally dying down, although he was still smiling.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh whatever."

I walked him to his first class and we said bye. Before I walked away he grabbed my arm. Tingles spred up and down my arm. I turned towards him and he let go quickly and his eyes shifted around.

"Um...on Friday...w-what did you want to say to me?" My stomach dropped and when I didn't answer for a while, he blushed.

What do I tell him?  What am I going to say? I can't say I love him, right? 

Right. I can't, not yet. Just think of something Chad! Quick! He's waiting! I opened my mouth and couldn't control what came out.

"I'm in love with you."
