The Boys In My School (1)

Chapter Four

The week went on pretty weird for the friends. Jonathan tried hard to deny his feelings while Jazanie was discovering his. Everytime he saw the tall boy his chest felt warm and his heart fluttered. It always felt like there were thousands of butterflies taking flight. "Take one and pass the rest!" The English teacher said. At the end of the table was the pair. Jonathan quickly passed the final paper to Jazanie. On accident, their hands touched. It didn't last long since they embarrassedly pulled back. "Oh sorry-" They looked up and locked eyes. Nobody wanted to break the connection. 

Cute.. Jonathan thought as he admired his best friend's hazel eyes. 

I can feel it again! The warmth like the sun is shining on me. It's only when I'm with Johnnie. Why does he make me feel so warm..? I used to feel this was with Katherine but it's different this time. It was a new feeling. Or maybe feelings that felt new. Of course he would love his friend. This was just a different kind of love. A love that made you feel like nothing else mattered but that person. 

"Alright!" The loud announcement from their teacher shook them back to reality. Jonathan quickly swiveled his head to the front of the classroom to hide his blush. Meanwhile Jazanie was red like a tomato and he had no idea. "You good bro?" Jazanie's friend asked. "Why wouldn't I be?" "Your face is mad red. You gotta fever?" Jazanie quickly shook his head. "No it's just a little hot in here."

I was blushing??? Because of Johnnie??? Do I like Johnnie?

Jazanie decided to observe him and Jonathan's interactions during the day. During second period Jonathan got called out of the class. 

I wonder what happened with Johnnie. I miss him.. I hope he doesn't go home or anything. The day barely started. I still want to see him. Wait! What am I thinking about?! Johnnie hasn't even been gone that long! I think I like him! This realization of feelings brought on new thoughts. An entirely different category. 

If I like Johnnie, how will my life be from now on? Would he want to date me? Nah I know Johnnie is straight. Maybe if I confess I can get over my feelings. Yeah! I'll do that! At the end of the day I'll confess to Johnnie.
