"What?!" Anthony and May scream at the same time. I show them the message on my phone. "Are you sure it is actually Kevin?" Anthony asks. "I have been following this profile for years. It's him." I say. May and Anthony look at each other with shocked expressions. "Do you really have a boyfriend?" May asks. "Apparently I do." I say. I look at my phone again. "Would you like to be my maybe boyfriend?" stares back at me from the glowing screen.
May and Anthony eventually go home around nine. I get undressed and get into bed. My phone dings. It is Kevin on Twitter. "Hey." It says. "I don't know what to do about us." I type without thinking. "I was thinking we could just start dating?" Kevin replies. "I really have wanted to talk to you for years." I confess. "I could tell. Usually when someone really wants to talk to someone this way it is hard for them." He says. "I do kinda like you." He adds. I almost drop my phone. "I mean... I think I do." He sends quickly. "I never really liked anyone before." He confesses. "What about Jennifer Stenston?" I ask. "She asked me and I didn't know how to say no." He replies. "Oliver can I confess something?" "Sure." I reply. "You are the first guy I ever actually felt this way about. I mean I have dated guys before but you are the first I really... I don't know." He types. I don't know what to write to him. "I am nervous to tell people." I say. "You think you're nervous? I have never been outed before." He says. "Neither have I. But I get it. You're popular and hot." I say. "That's not what I'm saying." He sends quickly. "It's ok if you feel that way. I know I am not that great." I say. "Oliver. You are fucking amazing. No one, male or female, has ever written me a note like that before." He sends. "I think we should talk more tomorrow at school." I say. I feel tears. "I'll meet you by the main doors." Kevin replies. I close my phone and lay in bed. Thoughts fill my head until I fall asleep. The one single thought that kept returning was Kevin Hends told me he likes me. And I like him.
I like him.
