The start of junior year! Walking into school wasn't as exciting as the friend group expected it to be. After a long, enjoyable summer break they knew that eventually they had to return to school, which I highly doubt anyone would be happy about.

That atmosphere felt the same as the previous years. They could hear the voices of other students around them, people reuniting with their friends and walking in and out the building, teachers getting students in trouble because they probably have nothing better to do.

Clay, Nick, Alex and Karl were waiting at their usual spot for Karl and George to arrive.

"How is Mr Mendez my english teacher again?!" Alex complained. They laughed at the statement Alex had just made. That was until Nick nudged Clays shoulder.

"Your boyfriends coming" Nicked said with a smirk. Nick knew about Clay and George's feeling towards each other, but he wasn't the one going to expose either of them. Though Clay would be one hell of a liar if he were to deny of having any feelings for George, though he always did.

Clay rolled his eyes and faced towards the entrance of the school gates to where he saw a familiar brunet boy walking up to them with a bright smile. God that smile made Clays heart warm up like the sun on a hot summer day.

"GEORGE!" Alex called out.

"hey!" George responded, the friend group started talking to one another, making jokes every now and then which made them all burst out in laughter.

They later walked into the glass doors and walked over to their lockers to get their books and get ready for their first class.

Clay was a decent student, doing surprisingly well in school, he was quite popular due to his looks which made girls drool over him.

He was beyond annoyed when he found out his first class was math. Thankfully, Nick was in his class which made him slightly happier. The bell then rang and students hurried over to their classes.

It was great that Clay and Nick had the same math class together. Though George hardly had any classes with his friends, he found himself going to his first class alone, which was history.

One the lesson had started, the teacher found that it was a perfect time to announce that there was going to be a new student joining the school today. That's when George saw him. That's when he walked in.

"Class, I would like to introduce you to Floris. He will be joining our school so I expect you all to be nothing but welcoming and nice to him." The teacher announced. Floris walked in and all eyes were on him as he gave everyone a shy smile. He then decided to take the empty seat beside George.

"Hi" George said with a smile, maybe this was a chance to make a new friend.

"Hey! I would introduce myself but I guess Ms Johnson already did that for me" he giggled and George just laughed along with him to seem friendly. The two talked- more rather whispered to each other which made the teacher tell them countless times to stop talking.

The lesson came to an end and Floris started picking up his books and pens when George spoke up.

"hey I was thinking, if you didn't have anyone to hangout with at lunch, you could hangout with me and my friends!" George said with a smile.

Worst mistake ever.

"Really? I mean if its fine with them and I'd love to!" Floris said has he gave George a warm smile.

--------------------

The next few classes went on for what felt like forever. Clay found himself dozing off to sleep until he shot up by the sound of the bell ringing which startled him. Lunch, about time.

He walked over to the Cafeteria and saw three of his friends sitting there messing around, though it kind of looked like Alex was third wheeling Karl and Nick.

Clay sat down and noticed that George hadn't arrived yet, weird.

Thats when Clay saw George walking up to the table they were sat at. Clay admired him. He admired how his fluffy hair slightly bounced every time he took a step forward. How he looked Clay in the eyes, those gorgeous brown eyes that he loved oh so much.

Clay snapped out of his trance when he saw someone next to him that he wasn't so familiar with. Who was he?

Once the two of them reached the table, George spoke up. "Hey guys! This is Floris! Hope you don't mind if he joins us during lunch today." The group introduced themselves and seemed to take a liking to Floris.

Clay took his focus away from George and looked over to Floris who seemed to have been looking at him back, expect he had a light blush on his face.

George almost immediately noticed Floris blushing whilst making eye contact with Clay.

To say that he was deeply in love with Clay would be an understatement- though he wasn't one to admit it aloud.

He couldn't take his eyes off of the two introducing themselves and cracking jokes every so often. He was jealous to say the least.

Alex picked up on Georges starring "Jealous?" he said raising his eyebrows up and down. George scoffed and a small giggle escaped his mouth "no?" he was. A blush quickly spread across his face as Alex bursted out laughing which what caught everyones attention on the table.

"Whats so funny?" Clay said with a smile, he looked over to George and saw him blushing like crazy.

so thats the end of the first chapter! i have no idea if its short or not, also let me know what you think about it! Also sorry about any mistakes, I'm half asleep right now and I suddenly just decided to write a chapter.

I'll be as active as I can, please go back to the chapter before this one and quickly read the authors note!

I promise I'll try to make the book as interesting as I can, this chapter seems really sloppy and the next chapter may be too but I swear it'll get better as the book goes on :)

I know, I know. I'm really bad at writing but hey, this is my first book and I really hope to see my writing improve as it goes on. Any suggestions?

Remember to stay hydrated, brush your teeth, have a shower and that you are loved <3

See you all soon :)
