The Dumb Romance (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 8

I tell Oliver to hold on a sec and pull out my phone to see who the message was from. I dont even know why but it felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest. I finally go open my phone. I sigh in relief. It was just a groupchat with what stuff to bring. I'm going to get the stuff Thursday after school. Man I could just go get it with Oliver. Nah, I should be okay by myself. I turn back to Oliver and we start singing all the way until I get home. He finally pulls up at my house.

"Alright dude, I'll talk to you later." He says.

"Alright bye!" I say.

I make my way into my house and notice that my parents are nowhere to be seen. I grab me a slice of pizza off the stove and toss my stuff on the couch. I walk upstairs and decide to check their room. I walk up close to the door and try to listen to what's going on and I hear a creaking sound then my step mom's name. Then I immediately realize what's happening. I run back downstairs and decide to chill there for a bit.

I start to watch some horror movie and I dont notice that I'm dozing off. I shut my eyes for a second and I'm asleep. I open my eyes again and notice that I fell asleep. I pull out my phone to check the time and it 12:34 AM, I also notice that it's on 7%. I run up to my room with my stuff. I throw my stuff on my bed and I run to put my phone on the charger. As soon as I put it on the charger I hear my room door swing open, I turn to see and it's my stepmom.

"Hey...Um I didnt hear you walk in." She says.

"Yea...Uh...if you want to know what all happened you can ask Oliver like later on." I say.

The air in the room is so thick. Its akward. I'm pretty sure she knows that I had heard them.

"I will do that then....Goodnight then." She finishes.

"Goodnight." I say.

She shuts the door behind her, and I begin to put my stuff away and putting it up. I go in my bathroom and begin to shower and get ready for bed. I put on some deodorant and brush my teeth, then I switch my light color and go plop in my bed. The thought of what had happened just makes me blush. I turn on some music and decide to do a little cleaning. My room has gotten a bit dirty. I finish and check the time. It's already 12:56 AM . I decide that it's time for me to go to sleep. I put the cleaning stuff up and get ready to go to sleep. I mean I have school tomorrow anyways. I lay in my bed and decide to watch some tv. My blinks start to become slower so I lay down and end up going to sleep.

I wake up the next morning and get ready for school. I get my stepmom to drive me to school while my mom is at work. She tells me that Oliver told her every single detail.

"Soo, are yall like a thing now?" She asks.

"Um... I dont really know. I'll have to ask him." I respond.

We pull up at the school and I say my goodbyes, and walk in. There are kids in the hallway still, hanging out at their lockers, getting their stuff, or talking to friends. I walk to my locker and see Oliver there waiting for me.

"Heyy!" He says.

"Hey." I respond.

"So are you and him like a thing?"

"I really dont know, that's what I was gonna ask him. But I dont see-"

"There he is."

Sophie is over there talking to him, I can see how hard shes blushing from over here.

"I'll just text him, he seems busy."

I whip out my phone and send the message. Meet me in the bathroom at 12 I gotta say something. I see him pick up his phone and it looks like he typing. My phone goes off. I look at it. Okay bet. I walk Oliver to my his class and then I go to mine. I sit down and get settled, I just completely forgot that I sit next to him in class. He plops right down next to me, without saying a word. I proceed to go through my day until, noon hits. I ask to go to the bathroom and I get to go. I get up and go to the bathroom and wait. He finally walks in.

"So, what did you wanna talk about?"

"Well its serious, I wanna know what we are now."

"How about friends with benefits and that's it." He says in a stern but sweet voice.

His tone had caught me off guard and confused the hell out of me.

"Um okay." I said.

Deep in my gut I had knew I wanted to be more than friends. I wanted to actually be with him, but I couldn't force him. He seemed like he had already made his decision. I walk out the bathroom, almost in tears. I was just going through a lot of emotions, it was just a lot to handle. I walk back to class and finally make it inside.

"Adam, what took you so long?" The teacher asks.

"Uh I had to you know." I say.

"Oh well, next time hurry up, go get the notes from Oliver." He says.

I go back to my seat and Oliver starts to talk to me.

"Bro what happened? What did he say?" He asks.

"Just forget about it. I don't wanna talk about it." I say.

He turns away from me and hands me the notes. I start to take notes down in my notebook. I wanna go home. I say in my head. I pull out my phone and text my parents.  Please come get me, I don't feel good. I get a immediate response from my step mom. I'm on my way. I sit at my desk finishing up the notes then I'm called for dismissal. I hand Oliver back his notebook and grab my stuff and walk out. I hurry up to the office.

"Have a nice day." Says the secretary.

My mom and I walk to the car in silence. I put my stuff down and I sit in the back instead of the front. She drives off.

"So what happened." She asks.

I stay quiet. I get on my phone and scroll through my playlists. I finally find the playlist and begin listening to my music. I end up putting my head on the window and falling asleep to the music in my ears and my mom trying to get my attention.
