AARON.P.OV.

Maybe it's true.
We may not know what we have until we lose it.
But it may also be true that we don't know what we're missing until we find it.
And, maybe I found what I was missing. What I always missed.
But then did I not know it.
In fact, I may have known, but I was not worthy of it.It may have seemed too valuable to belong to me one day.

Story goes like this:

It was Monday.
One ordinary Monday.
I always hated Monday.Everyone hates it. It marked the beginning. For me, the beginning of school. The second year of the Faculty of Arts. The first shift. Seven o'clock in the morning. Who else is looking forward to it?

Like I said,one ordinary Monday.
I was standing in front of the college with my roommate, Liam. We were waiting for one of our friends, Noah. Noah is a guy who has been openly gay for a long, long time.And if you think that people don't accept us because of that, you are wrong. He is quite accepted in society, just like us.
Liam and Noah have always known each other. As children, they lived next to each other and grew up together.

Everyone has one introverted character in the group, that's me. Liam and Noah are different.

Enough about us. What's important is coming.

Literally.

I don't know and I have no idea why, but those blue eyes caught my eye even from this distance. It wouldn't be weird if it wasn't a boy.

He got off the bus and then accidentally dropped a block of drawings from his hands. I was too far away to help him, but it wasn't necessary. He immediately picked them up from the asphalt and headed for college.

He was all in black, as well as most students who studying art. He had a black leather jacket and hair dyed in red. He wore headphones and held a cigar in one hand.

He looked...How could I say that?Good looking?Attractive?Strange?

Is it weird to describe a man like that? Whether weird or not, I just thought like that.

I couldn't take my eyes off him, and he didn't even notice me.

When he got a little closer, I saw that he had earrings.
Passing by, our gaze met.
Even if I stared at him all the time, he took his blue eyes off me in just three seconds. I watched him enter and disappear from my sight.

That was the moment when I realized that I had completely fallen into a trance for three minutes.

LIAM: "I didn't know you were gay, too."

ME: "I'm not gay ... Where did you get that?"

LIAM: "Because you stared at that guy the way I stare at women."

ME: "Of course not. What are you talking about? And you're not staring at women either."

LIAM: "Just you avoid the truth..."

ME: "I'm not avoiding!"

LIAM: "Then why did your friend in your underpants get up?"

ME: "Excuse me?"

I blush with shame and look down abruptly, even if I know the "friend downstairs" didn't react. Still, it all lasted three minutes and...I'M NOT GAY.

LIAM: "If you're not gay, why did you look?"

ME: "Did I say that out loud?"

LIAM: "Yeah."

ME: "Forget it...I said what I had."

LIAM: "There's Noah."

ME: "Hey, Noah"

NOAH: "Hi, sisters!"

He approached us and kissed us on the cheek. He do that to everyone and that meant absolutely nothing.

LIAM: "What's up?"
