There You Are, The Light to my Darkness...

Chapter Six

Clay POV:

I decided to wait for George so we can walk home together. I haven't seen him all day I've missed his smile.

I was waiting for about 5 minutes but then I started to space out. I noticed from the corner of my eye that there was someone standing at the front of the school so I looked to see who it was.

George...

George POV:

I was in shock when I turned around and saw Clay standing there. No words would come out of my mouth.

"Hey"
I've always wondered what gay panic was and now that I've experienced it so much I can say that I know what it is.

"U-uhh h-hey"

"Wanna walk together"

"S-sure"
Why, why would you say yes, you're doing this to yourself.

We started to walk home together it was quite maybe a little too quite.

"So, have you thought about joining the football team?" I said to break the silence.

"Yea actually, I've been thinking about it for a while, I really like football but I am not that good at playing it"
I nodded.

"But I'm probably going to join it because of what Nick told me"
I was so confused, when did they become friends?

"What did Sap- Nick say?"

"Mmm nothing much just that if I join then I could join you and Nick for your slushy trips after the games"

I am going to murder Sapnap
"Hmm yea you can come but only if you win and you have to score at least one point"

"Well now I'm determined to win" he smirked

We continued walking and it was silent but this time it was a comfortable silence.

I haven't been able to look him in the eyes once this whole time. I don't think I'll be able to until I deal with my feelings for Clay.

We finally arrived at my house.
Thank god.

"Okay Clay I'll see you tomorrow" I said smiling at him

"Wait"

I turned around with a a confused look.
"Yeah?"

"Do you wanna come over and hang out?"

"Umm"

"You don't have to if you don't want to"
I couldn't say no after hearing that.

"No no I'll come over, I just need to tell my mom, give me a minute"

"Okay!"

I walked into the house
"MOMMM...?"

"IN HERE"

I walk over to where I hear her calling
"Mom, I'm going to my
Friends house is that alright?"

"Yea of course, just be home by 10 o'clock"

"Alright bye mom"

"Bye George"
I probably shouldn't go to his house but there's no going back now we're in too deep, I sighed and walked outside.

For the first time today I made eye contact with Clay. The sun on his face made his features glow, his hair was now a slightly dirty blonde, and his eyes.... they were perfect, the way the emerald looked in the sun was beautiful, he was dreamy and perfect, I could stare at him forever and never get sick of him.
