The Great Pretenders

School Still Sucks

I hate school (even though I'm good at it.) I don't know why it still exists it's so pointless.

But now I have another reason to hate school Luke goes here.

"Hey man!" Josh Richards fist-bumped me. "So I heard the "tea" as my sister would call it. Do you actually like him?!"

"I-"
"Well, it's about time you realized. That makes you the second to last person to realize your feelings!"

"What the h*ll are you talking about?"
"Bro, my sister is friends with your sibling and heard that YOU like LUKE! Gosh, get with times."

Josh Richards, the most popular guy in school next to Luke and I. Like Luke he's known for his eboy looks and chill personality.

Unlike Luke and I, he's not homophobic or racist he's really chill and a lady's man. But we still got along pretty well. Even though he was a year younger and our differences on how we view people and life.

"What bro no I'm straight what does everyone keep thinking otherwise."

"Bro- you can't keep pretending I was on that FaceTime call with my sister and you were pretty red, a-a-and talked l-l-like this."

I stared at him and could feel a blush creeping on my face. "What I did not."

"Did too."
"Did not."

He looked at me blankly. "I guess I was wrong you are still the second to last person to know." He said in disappointment. "For one of the smartest kids, you're very dumb."

"Whatever man let's go I need a snack."
"I just saw get one, why another one?"
"Because my blood sugar is low after talking to you."
"... I don't think that's how it works... Well I'll guess I'll race you there!"
"Huh? Hey?!"

After Josh ran ahead I finally caught up to him that's when I see he stopped suddenly and looked at me with sorry eyes.

"Um... You know what? You might die of heart disease if you keep coming. Diabetes is a real illness and I don't want one of my best friends dying on me..." He put a hand on his neck and laughed nervously.

That's when my other friend, Jacob, Josh's cousin came and started to push me away.

"Guys! What's going on hey!"
"Josh is right you'll die at this rate, let's go!"

Jacob said but I could tell him and Josh were hiding something.

"What's going on?!" That's when I pushed them out of the way. "America is a free country I can whatever I want!"

At the vending machine, Luke and my sibling were hugging and acting all lovey-dovey.

"Oh hey man! Meet my new girlfriend Sam!" Luke said.

He looks so happy... Apart of me wishes that was me. Am I jealous? Maybe I do l like him... Maybe I do like boys as well... All these thoughts came and flooded my mind.

What am I thinking I'm just mad he's with my SISTER!

"Hey big bro it turns out that Luke does like me back." she said winking while smiling.

"Dude you actually made a move on my sister?!"
"Huh no she confessed to me, and she was so cute I couldn't say no."

I looked at Sam and looked at me smiling it was such an evil smile it made me mad.

"Oh well I'm happy for you but just because she's my sister if you hurt her I'll beat you up."
"I wouldn't break her heart... I'm a changed man." He said while kissing the top of her head.

I'll break her heart before I break your cutie.

He's such a liar but I already knew that. Besides he was joking back then... They look so cute together. And I don't like him, so why am I so jealous?...

Before I knew it my legs started moving and I could feel the background becoming a blur. Josh and Jacob look down at the ground in defeat. Why did I push them they were only trying to protect me I really am an idiot.

"Wait, Issac!" They both yelled at me but I didn't care I just kept running.

A/N: I feel bad for him he didn't deserve this. I expected better from Sam. 🥲

Josh is also Omni but hasn't told Issac and Luke yet.
