Bi Pride - Kleinsen Fanfic

=7=

I was sitting on the couch, quiet and nervous as hell. Jared sat on the end of the couch next to me. Zoe decided to stay a bit longer. She sat at the otehr end, sitting on the arm of my couch and crossing her arms. I tapped my arm softly.

"Uhm...s-so..." I started. Jared raised his eyebrow.

"What are you guys doing?" Zoe shrugged.

"More like what were we doing. I was about to leave. Oh, Jared! I have a question." Jared hummed in response.

"What's your sexuality?" I tensed and hid my blushing face. Jared raised his eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Oh, well, I'm making these pride bracelets. I thought you'd want one." she said, holding up hers. Jared's eyebrows raised and he peeked to me for a second before looking back at her.

"Okay, I'm straight." he said. Zoe's eyebrow furrowed.

"You sure?" Jared snickered.

"No. I'm not sure." he said sarcastically. Zoe sighed.

"Okay. I'll make you one. I better go now. Bye, Ev!" She waved and turned to leave. Jared sighed when the door closed behind her.

"She didn't say bye to me." he grumbled. I snickered.

"Of course she didn't." Jared punched my arm.

"Well, anyway...you're fucked." I tilted my head in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"She's gay."

"Okay?"

"Looks like your only chance is gone." she said. I sighed and looked down. He sighed as well.

"Sorry, Ev. That's just how it's gonna be." he said.

Of course, I wasn't sad because she was gay. I was sad because 1 - Jared was straight and 2 - he's making it obvious he doesn't like me back and never will. I don't know why I got my hopes up. Of course he doesn't like me. Who would?

I hugged my arms lightly. Jared frowned, taking notice. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he stayed quiet and sighed.

"Honestly, I was coming to talk to you about Zoe. Ya know, advice on how the hell you're gonna get with her, but..." I shook my head.

"It's f-fine. I-I...I n-need..." I didn't even have an excuse to leave this conversation. I just turned and headed to my room. I shut my door behind me as I walked into my room. I fell onto my bed and slid down it, falling to the floor. Small tears pricked at my eyes.

God dammit why do crushes have to be so hard?!

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I just hoped I could avoid Jared all day the next day. I didn't know what else I would say. I already fucked up by just walking away from the conversation. He would only think something's clearly upset and then he'd try and ask if I'm okay and I'd choke up.

I chuckled to myself and shook my head.

Who am I kidding?

He doesn't care if I'm okay.
