a fanfic i wrote about two bigots in my class

chap 1 (alex pov)

I never expected that I would be gay. It was supposed to be a joke... between me and my best friend, Alessandro.

He's amazing. Tall, about 5'9. Way taller than me. His hair was short, cut to perfection. And he was skinny, almost drowning in his sweater, his hands barely visible inside the sleeves. The way his raspy voice gets even raspier when excited enchanted me. He was so out of my league. I'm 5'3, 5'4, around there, and my stupid long hair swoops to one side, making my face unsymmetrical. Not to mention my nose. It looks like the nose of those cartoon witches. I was just sitting in my classroom, kind of spaced out by the computers.

"Hey Alex!!"

I didn't even turn around. I knew it was Alessandro. You can always tell its him walking towards you, because the shuffling on carpet noise is unique to him and him alone. He barely picks up his feet when he walks.

"Are you down to play soccer with me? Practice got canceled today."

"For sure."

Him and I both played soccer. I mean, soccer was our lives. He played competitive and had practice almost every day. I played too, but I wasn't as great as he was. We bonded over soccer. We even watched a few professional games together...you could say they were dates. Class wasn't going to start until another 20 minutes, so I thought we could play some games.

"Hop on Minecraft real quick. We still have to farm totems."

"Aight. The realm again right?"

He sat down next to me, taking out his laptop from his backpack. He was so close. I stared at him intensely. He looked back at me, with a quizzical look on his face. I didn't know what this feeling was, but I grew hot from this eye contact. I quickly looked away. Was it embarrassment? I mean, it's kind of weird to get caught after staring at someone. I shook it off and joined the realm.

We played for about 15 minutes, with the only sound being keys clacking. We got a lot of totems, and I put them away in my ender chest. Just sitting there next to him, it made me all squirmy. It must be the silence messing with me. Soon our other classmates started trickling in. It was 5 minutes before class starts.

"Hey dude, let's stop now. Class is starting"

Alessandro nodded his head and dragged his feet towards his desk. He sat behind me. I turned off the computer and quickly sat down. That's when I noticed Andrew. I hated him. He was stuck up, and stupid. I don't know why, but he thought he was the shit. But Alessandro was friends with him. He stood up and gave Andrew this handshake they have. Jealousy cruised through my blood.

"What's up man."

"Hey."

He sat next to Alessandro. That prick. I hope he knows Alessandro was mine. In a friend way, of course. Nobody would get as close to him as I did, I'll make sure of it.
