My Promise To You

I forgot to post DANG IT

Clay's POV

It was pride day and really early in the morning I had gone to school. It was a quarter past seven, I was fifteen minutes early. My mum helped me dress up today, I wanted to look good and she helped me pick out some clothes. I ended up wearing black clothes, but I still liked it.

I was sitting next to Hannah and she looked at me. 'Clay, can I tell you something?'

'Of course.'

'I think I'm pansexual.'

'Really?' I smiled and looked up at her.

'I uh- I think I like Olivia.'

'Aww, that's cute. You should ask her today!'

'Only if you ask George.'

'I mean- maybe.'

'I won't do it either if you won't.'

'I was planning on asking him today, we bought a hotel for the night to sleep in.'

'Oh my goodness, you only just told me this now.'

'I mean,' I giggled.

We both smiled and Hannah looked at me again. 'Are you okay with me liking Olivia?'

'Why wouldn't I be okay with that? I like George and I'm happy that you like someone too now.'

She smiled. 'Thanks Clay, I think we are way better off as friends anyway. We have always acted like friends and I'm glad that we broke up on good terms.'

'Me too,' I smiled. 'I didn't want to be gay and break up with you, but it was the best thing to do.'

Hannah nodded and smiled as he looked up. 'Look who is there.'

I looked up and I saw George walking. I jumped up and ran to him, giving him a hug. 'How are you?' I smiled.

'I'm great, how are you?'

'Great too, you look absolutely stunning,' I smiled as I saw his rainbow nail polish and a lot of coloured clothes. He probably couldn't see half of the colours, but I still liked it.

'You look good today, actually you always look good,' George smiled as he looked at my clothes and back to my face.

I blushed a little and smiled. 'Who did your nails?'

'I did, but my mum gave me the right colours in order.' George smiled and I smiled back. 'I wanted to wear makeup today, but I'm afraid to mess it up and look like shit all day.'

I giggled. 'That will never happen, but that's fine. You can wear makeup tomorrow, did you bring it with you?'

'I didn't, do you want to try it tomorrow?'

'On me?'

'No, my face. I'm not forcing you to wear makeup when you don't like it.'

'I can try, but it will be so messed up,' I giggled.

George smiled. 'Bet it will be good.'

I shrugged and giggled. 'Sure, are you also so excited today?'

'I'm really excited, I can't wait to go.'

'Me neither,' I said excitedly and walked back to Hannah.

'Hi, Hannah!' George smiled. 'How are you?'

'I'm great, you seem happy too.'

'I am,' George smiled. 'We should maybe go to the classroom already.'

We both nodded and started walking to the classroom we had to be in. Only Bad and Skeppy were there yet and they smiled at us. 'Hi, guys!'

'Hello,' I smiled.

Skeppy was holding Bad tight and I couldn't stop thinking about George. I wished to hold him like that.

We sat down and waited for all others to arrive. It took fifteen minutes, but everyone had arrived. We walked to the cars in the groups we had made and George and I sat down next to each other in the backseat of the car. I sat in the middle, George sat on my left side and Niki on my right side. The car wasn't extremely big so I sat closely next to George.

I tried to concentrate on the road in front of me instead of George, but I couldn't resist myself anymore. George's hand was resting on his knee and I laid my hand on his. He smiled softly and turned his hand around, intertwining our fingers together.

I smiled and started rubbing my thumb over the top of his hand. We both just kept looking in front of us as we smiled. I saw Niki looking down at our hands locked and she smiled too, not saying anything about it.

After a while I let George scoot even closer to me and he rested his head on my shoulder. I grabbed his hand with my other hand and wrapped my arm around his shoulders. George closed his eyes as I rubbed my thumb over his hand.

'Can I sleep? How far is it?' George muttered.

'It's around forty minutes, you can sleep,' I smiled.

George nodded and I pulled him closer as he started falling asleep.

I woke George up when we had arrived at the amusement park and he looked at me with a sleepy look in his eyes. Niki, Cara and George's mum had already gone outside and I was waiting for George to fully wake up.

He blinked a few times and smiled. 'Hi, are we there yet?'

'Yes, everyone is outside and I've waited for you to wake up.'

George smiled shyly and nodded. 'Sorry for letting you wait, we can go outside.'

'I don't mind staying here for a short bit, the last car hasn't arrived yet.'

George nodded and I unlocked his seatbelt after I unlocked mine. I hugged him against my body and I smiled as I looked him in his eyes. I really wished to kiss his lips here and now, but I didn't dare to just yet. We stared at each other and with the small bit of confidence I had, I leaned in. I pressed my lips on his cheek and felt his cheeks heat up immediately as he giggled.

I smiled with a red face too and opened the door quickly. 'I'm sure the last car is there already,' I giggled.

George nodded with a playful smile on his face and we quickly stepped out to walk to the others. They just grinned at us two coming later, but they didn't comment on it luckily.
