why him || dreamnotfound

Chapter Six

the night flew by, and it was now, unfortunately monday.

George was now walking into the school gates. The whole weekend he couldn't get his mind off of Clay and Floris.

There's still time- No. I'm getting ahead of myself. Clay clearly likes Floris.

George wished he knew how Clay felt about him because then he wouldn't overthink as much.

He knew that they had something else that was more than friends- in fact they both knew, but they just kept on denying it so it wouldn't hurt as much if the feelings weren't mutual.

George's eyes scanned the front of the school, looking for the same people he hangs out with everyday.

And of course, he sees them where they always stand. He spots Nick, Karl, Alex, Clay and- shit.

There he is, none other than Floris standing right next to Clay. George gets a sudden wave of jealousy when he sees Clay's arm slung over Floris' shoulder while talking to Nick.

God if only it were him I'm Floris' place right now.

George walks up to him, and they all turn to look at George.

George tried his best to not look towards Clay to avoid the pain, although it was difficult when he could feel his burning gaze on him.

Accidentally, he turns his head to the side, facing Clay to see Floris pecking Clay's cheek and the two giggling.

Today's going to be one hell of a long day.

As for Clay, he too tried to avoid George.

In all seriousness, he didn't didn't even know if he truly loved Floris or not.

Well- he sure loved Floris lots, just not in the way Floris did.

When Floris told Clay that he loved him, he didn't want to break the mans heart.

He thought maybe it would've been a way to get over George since he didn't believe that he felt the same way.

But oh boy was he wrong.

He could see the pain in the brunettes eyes whenever he looked into them, the brown eyes that made him fall in love over, and over again.

Unfortunately for George, lunch came around quite quickly.

He walked into the cafeteria to see his friend group at their usual table- with Floris.

of fucking course.

"Oh George you're here" Floris exclaimed while snuggling up to Clay's side more.

Clay's arm was once again draped over Floris' shoulder as Clay gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. It made Georges stomach drop.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" George responded. He didn't intend to sound rude, it just came out.

The table fell silent until none other than Floris broke the silence. "So now that you're all here, Clay and I would like to tell you all something.."

George sat down next to Karl as they both looked at each other with confused faces.

"Soooo Clay and I are dating!!" Floris squealed.

George felt his heart shatter into a million pieces once those very words fell out of Floris' mouth.

Oh

The table once again, fell silent. They all shot a quick glance at George and started congratulating Clay and Floris.

Clay looked straight into George's eyes and felt regretful. Whys he upset?

George could often read the blonde like a book, though this time he didn't know how he was feeling.

"that's great" George mumbled, keeping the eye contact with Clay.

"I need to pee." Karl stood up and grabbed George's hand, dragging him to the bathroom.

"Dude. What the fuck just happened- and I don't wanna hear any of that 'im happy for them' bullshit" Karl said.

George let out a breath and short laugh as he shrugged his shoulders.

He could feel the tears pooling at his eyes.

"I don't know Karl. I guess he just loves Floris the way I love Clay." He unintentionally whispered as he let a tear fall past his eyes.

Karl didn't hesitate to pull his friend into a hug, trying to comfort him as best as he could.

"I'm so sorry, George.. I really thought-" Karl started but was soon interrupted by George.

"It's fine Karl. It was stupid of me to think he actually felt the same way."
