"𝙼𝚢𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏"

He said before leaving Keira standing there speechless.

Break time, at school, it's cold.

"𝙶𝚎𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚎!!!"

Keira ran up to him clutching her book, a wide smile on her face.

George looked up from his phone and stood up from leaning against the wall.

"𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚞𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝?"

She grabbed a book out of her bag.

"𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚑?"

George looked at her confused at what she was doing

"𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎,

She flipped to a page that she had book marked with a sticky note.

𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚝 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚔𝚎𝚎𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏, 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐."

George lifted the book slightly to see the name.

"𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜?"

He laughed slightly,

"𝚒𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍, 𝙸'𝚖 100% 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜."

'eh, she has a point,'

"𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚑 𝙸 𝚐𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝."

He looked down and started playing with his phone case,

Keira looked at him confused hoping he would tell her more,

"𝚜𝚘...?"

He looked up at her and shrugged.

"𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚒'𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚒'𝚖 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚙𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐...

He smiled at her as sweetly as possible,

𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚠𝚊𝚢..."

She smiled and wondered off.

'hiding something?'

Alex and James were talking about some of their new classes when surprisingly George walked up to them.

He stood there looking down with one hand on his bag strap and the other in his pocket.

"𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝?"

James glared at George, so did Lewis.

"𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚏 𝙸 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔 𝚝𝚘 𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚡..."

George mumbled looking down.

James's expression changed, he now looked sympathetic towards George.

"𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑, 𝚘𝚔𝚊𝚢."

James smiled at George who didn't really look up, Alex followed him over to the fence, too far away for James to hear what was going on.

"𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝙶𝚎𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚎?"

Alex asked,

"𝙰𝚕𝚎𝚡... 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚐𝚎𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚢𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚍𝚊𝚢?"

George mumbled still avoiding eye contact.

"𝚆𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚒𝚝- ... 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚐𝚊𝚢..."

George now looked up to face Alex,

"𝚘𝚑, 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗,"

Alex turned to James and turned back to George,

"𝙳𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞... 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚢?"

George looked up at Alex again and smiled,

"𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑,

He nodded,

𝚖𝚎𝚎𝚝 𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚑?"

Alex smiled back at George.

"𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚑,"

James stood up from leaning against the wall, him and lewis had been watching the conversation the entire the entire time.

They were now watching Alex walk back to them with a smile on his face.

"𝚂𝚘?"

Lewis grabbed alexes bag and handed it to him.

"𝙸'𝚖 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚕𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚑 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘𝚍𝚊𝚢,"

Alex smiled as Lewis and James shared looks.

"𝙰𝚕𝚎𝚡, 𝚠𝚑𝚘𝚜 𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝?"

James said glaring at Lewis not even looking at it.

"𝚐𝚎𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚎'𝚜"

Alex smiled while walking away off to English.

James rolled his eyes. As Lewis tilted his head slightly trying to work out why.

Why was Alex in George's hoodie?

Why.

"𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚑𝚘-------"

'Yeah yeah'

George grabbed his bag by one strap and walked out, he immediately walked over to the meeting area to see Alex there waiting.

Alex stood there he looked... Upset?

He looked like he was about to cry.

George was slightly taken aback by how upset he looked and grew worried.

"𝙰𝚕... 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚘𝚔𝚊-"

George was cut off by Alex with watery eyes.

"𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚠𝚎 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚐𝚘?"

Alex said, tears dripping from his eyes.
