What Myth Are You Talking About?

Clay PoV

After George and I finished unpacking, we sat down on our beds.
No one said anything.
George was looking at his phone. Now and then smiling a bit. I wished to know what was making him smile.
I wish I could make him smile.

-wait-no-why am I thinking like this? I just met him and-I-I can't think like this.
I already thought that I might like boys, but I-I never had someone I fell for.
I don't do this.
Any of this.
Flirting, kissing, fucking okay, but feelings? No. Not for me. No matter which gender. Just no.

I decided that I won't catch feelings for George, because it just stupid.

Confidently I looked at him again.
Longer than I wanted.
"fuck" I whispered. Quiet enough so that George couldn't hear.
He is just so perfect.
I don't know him yet, but his face, his style, his walk, the way he talks, his laugh. It's just so good.

His black, curly, messy hair. I wish I could run my fingers through it.
The one strand of hair that falls in his face makes him look even hotter.

"you have pretty hair" I said
"what?" he said pretty shocked.
"I said you have pretty hair"
"oh-uh thanks" he blushed.
I looked at him. He's so gorgeous. The way he blushed gave me butterflies.
After a few seconds I realised what the hell I just did.
Fuck.
Didn't I just plan to not catch feelings about a  minute ago?

On the one side I hated myself for the way he makes me feel, but on the other side...

"it's pretty late. I think we should sleep" I said, hoping that my mind will be clearer by tomorrow.

                               💚💙

"Do you plan to get up today?" a lovely voice asked and brought me back to the real world.
"huh?" I said with my sleepy voice
"It's 15.21pm. How long do you sleep? Is it even healthy to sleep this long?" the lovely voice laughed.
I opened my eyes drastically and jumped up
"how late is it?" I asked alarmed
"15.21pm"
"Fuck" I jumped out of bed and ran into the shower. I speedrunned getting ready and put on my shoes

"where are you going?" George asked
"to the store. I still haven't bought any school supplies, I really need to eat and my football training starts in three hours"
"you're playing football?"
"yeah" I stopped and smiled at him
"you like it?" I finished my sentence.
"ehm- ye- yeah, sounds cool" George blushed and scratched the back of his neck
"can I come with you? I haven't bought my stuff either and I mean-like- we can get some food together" he said shyly.
I couldn't hold back my smile
"you're asking for a date?" I teased him
"what-no. No of course not you idiot. I'm just hungry too" he looked at his shoes
"haha alright. Yeah, let's go, but I decide where we eat"
"fine"
I got my keys and we started walking towards my car"

                                💚💙

"you like burgers?" Clay asked while driving
"who doesn't?" I laughed.
"haha I don't know. I guess Wilbur doesnt"
"who's Wilbur?"
"Wilbur is a good friend of mine. I actually wanted to introduce you to my friends, but since I overslept, I couldn't. But tomorrow I will." he looked me into the eyes. "I promise"

I smiled. Maybe it won't be as hard to find friends as I thought it would be.

We arrived at a small restaurant.
"There we are"  clay said smiling

We both ordered a L'manburger and some fries.
"may I ask you something?" Clay looked me into the eyes. But not like he normally does. He looked worried.
"yeah, yeah of course" I answered confused.
"why did you decide to come to Dandalook? Why this year?"
What does he mean? I don't really understand.
" what do you mean? Dandalook is one of the best colleges in the world when it comes to computer science. I'm dreaming about studying here since I was a small kid"
"but why this year?"
"what do you mean? I graduated last year. Now it's my time to start college." I looked him confused in his beautiful green eyes.
He opened his mouth to start talking, but in this moment our food arrived.
"two L'manburgers, one big and one small portion of fries" the waitress said.
"thank you"

"now tell me what do you mean" I looked at Clay.
" well dont you know about the myth?"
"the myth?"
"yeah"
"n-no, what myth. Clay, don't play these games. I don't like that"
"Clay? So you decided to call me Clay?" there was something in his eyes I couldn't classify.
"uh- yeah, I guess so. I don't know. It's your name, right?"
"yeah, yeah"
"Stop drifting away from the topic. What myth were you talking about? "
He didn't answer. He glanced at the table
"CLAY!" I said in a louder voice.
He looked up.
"huh? Oh sorry, sorry what did you say? I wasn't listening"
"what myth where you talking about?"
He looked me into my eyes
"Well, every 30 years a student of Dandalook dissappears and never returns. Some people say that there is a selected one, i don't know, maybe they have to meet any requirements.
They say that this selected one gets sacraficed by someone in our school. By whom and for what is not clear, but probably for some kind of power. This year the 30 years are over. Thats also the reason why you are literally the only new student this year."
I looked him disbelieving in the eyes and started laughing
" what? Clay what the actual fuck?"
Since he didn't start to laugh I stopped.
" wait-you-you mean it? "
" yes George. Of course I mean it. Why should I lie about it? Ask other students, teachers or idk google it. I'm not kidding"
"and you believe in this shit?" I said
"yeah, I mean there are many evidences, that it happend already seven times"
I looked him deadass in the eyes. I didn't know what to say.

"oh fuck" he said randomly
"training starts in half an hour.
Here's some money. Finish your food and then take the bus back. It's not far from college and the money should last. I have to go, see ya"
"but your food-and I can pay myself"
"no worries" he winked and then ran to his car.

"Is what he says true? Is there really a selected one? Might I be the selected one? Might CLAY be the selected one? And why did he react so weirdly after I called him by his name?
