Story Time: The boy in the red shirt had always liked the one in the blue shirt. They have been friends for quite a while. As he slowly started to mature through puberty he realized he liked the boy in the blue shirt more and more, and not just as a friend. He grew up, and all the small moments that he had with this boy with the blue shirt he glorified because he was the one to share those moments with him. But on the day of the annual picnic the day that he had planned to tell the boy with the blue shirt how he truly felt about him, even getting small signs from him like when he leaped on top of him to grab the ball he felt that when they were both alone at a nice place he would finally tell him. But their parents decided to tell one of their friends to come along as she was feeling lonesome and to also bring their daughter. When the daughter met these two friends she immediately fell in love with the ruggedness of the blue shirt boy. Little did the boy with the red shirt know that the boy with the blue shirt also started to grow feelings for this girl. The day went on and the boy with the red shirt realized that he was feeling less and less confident about telling the boy with the blue shirt. So he though up a scheme to get him alone. He tried to get them all to play hide and seek, but the girl quickly outwitted the boy with the red shirt to count, and the boy with blue shirt agreed. As the blindfold was put onto him, he was imagining all the things his eyes were acing to see, he imagined the blue shirt boy shirtless, licking ketchup off himself. After that the pitter patter of their feet left the room. As son as they left he finished counting he quickly undid the blindfold and went to go look for them following a obvious trail they had left behind. The boy with the blue shirt and the girl tried to get away from the boy with the red shirt so the girl can finally kiss him. Every time they found a hiding spot, they saw him in the distance and quickly shuffled to another spot, again and again they did this. Until finally they felt that they got far away from him, that the girl pinned the boy with the blue shirt to the ground and kissed him... but in the distance the boy with the red shirt saw the whole thing. His heart shattered he stood in shock, his friend which he was hoping to make all the more slipped through his fingers. His heart broke as he stood their, and the boy with the red shirt realized he should of not loved from afar... THE END
