The Dream Boy (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 3

Rich

"So... Why haven't you been attending classes?" I ask, "If you don't mind telling me"

"It's fine. My mom actually lets me stay here. She is the teacher that period"

My eyes widen, "Your mom. B-but she's the one who sent me here," I sweat, "she told me to wait, so I just sat here and started reading. I hope I'm not in trouble" I sighed as his eyebrows curl.

"S-she told you to wait here?" He sighs and covers his face with his hands, that's adorable. "Yeah, I don't think you're in trouble. She sent you here so you and I could talk, I think"

"Why would she do that?"

He starts speaking faster, "Oh, uhm well. I kinda told her about our interaction the other day and-" he looks at me and sighs, "She's kinda trying to be a wingmom for me..."

I tilt my head and chuckle, "A wingmom? Like a wing man-"

"-but it's your mom, yes" he finishes for me

I couldn't help but laugh. That is adorable. Someone from the other table shushes me and I apologize, quietly.

"Well I guess we can't disappoint her now," I smirk at him. And he smiles back

"Yeah, I guess we shouldn't"

Matthew

Apparently, mom made him go to the library. She knew I'd see him and would most likely talk to him and I did. He's really nice.

I gave him my number so we can chat or call some time and then decided to just stick with messenger for it. Still good to have each other's number, though.

I assured him that he wasn't in trouble which made him sigh in relief. Mom didn't come by the library for him and instead texted me like 30 minutes later to say that we're going home.

We said our goodbyes, he waved shyly at me. I smiled and waved back.

When I got home, I stayed up late reading the book he let me borrow. As soon as I started reading, I just couldn't stop. I really love it. It's romantic and it's hell of a lot funny.

I decided to pick up my phone to chat him.

Heyy. This book is so amazing omg. I'm currently at the part where they kiss at the park

As soon as I sent the message, he's already seen it and starts typing back, making me chuckle a little bit.

Ikrrr. I swear that book is the reason I fell in love with novels, ugh 😩

I bite my lip over his adorableness. I'm thinking of saying something but decide not to and continued reading. The next few paragraphs I couldn't really absorb because I was distracted.

I put the book down and stared at the ceiling from my bed. Imagining the scenes that I just read from the book.

"What if..." I think.

I sigh and quickly took the phone again and started typing.

Would you like to go out sometime?

Rich

My eyes widen from the message. My heart starts beating faster as I look into the screen. I need to reply back.

No. I need to wait a few minutes before replying back.

No. He might think I'm not interested. But he also might think you're being too attached or something.

I just started arguing with myself until suddenly,

Nevermind, I think I'm going a little too fast. Sorry for aksing 😅

Akking*

Asking***

Matthew

God, what am I doing? I fall back to my bed, took the pillow beside me and I start screaming into it, rolling around the bed. What was I thinking, he is probably thinking I'm going too fast with this. Aaaaa-

Ding!

No, it's fine. I'd love to go on a date with you!

Rich

As soon as I hit send, I immediately panic as I realize what I said. Wait 'DATE?!' Oh god, what if he just meant like a regular hang out. Oh, dear lord.

Oh, that's great! Maybe we can go watch a movie this weekend? Or just hang out somewhere nice and just chat?

Okay, I'm starting to relax now. What a relief. I went to check what movies are playing at the cinema on my phone because I don't think there are any good movies that are showing today so-

On second thought, there aren't really any good movies, so let's just do the latter

Matthew

God this is such a mess, I am the worst date planner ever.

Sounds good! I know a good place we can go to.

He then sends a picture of the park in town at night. It looks beautiful, and it's perfect for a date.

Rich and Matthew

I finally drop the phone to my side. I hug my pillow tightly and squeal into it, laughing even. I have butterflies in my stomach and I just giggle thinking about what just happened.
