Wanted Is Love [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 32

Contrary to popular belief, I actually did fight for my friendship with Amy. After that last paragraph she uttered, I tried to justify what I had done. Of course, even I knew that she was right. I didn’t want to lose my friend though. It was ultimately my fault, so I dealt with it. Skyler was probably still going to be my friend because she and I didn’t have as big a connection and she also understood what it was like to be in the la la land stage of a relationship. Paige was satisfied with this because finally someone liked her more than they liked me. I had a feeling that eventually things would be fine. I was still waiting for that day.

It was the morning of the next day. You could have guessed that Amy wasn’t going to be taking me to school. I talked to Alec after yesterday’s events went down and he said that he didn’t mind picking me up every day. I just really hoped that I wouldn’t lose him too. How could I be so stupid? I had everything perfectly. The best friends that anyone could have and a boy that saw me as more than a friend and had already fallen in love. Now I just had the latter. Not that I wasn’t happy about that, I just really hurt Amy and that hurt me.

I walked down the stairs and to the living room. I moved the curtain out of the way and gazed outside. Amy’s car was already gone. Yeah, this was how it was going to be. I ran back upstairs to get my backpack and keys. I checked my phone and I hadn’t gotten any texts. The time was 7:08. He’d better hurry if we were going to school.

Damn it, I totally forgot about school. Amy had already ruined that whole friendship week that Alec and I were supposed to establish. I was practically forced to still talk to Alec only. I guess it was just going to end quicker than I had wanted. Then again, it was my fault. Now I was starting to sound like a broken record. I need to forget about this.

My phone vibrated and I got a text from Alec that said he was here. I let out a deep sigh and reached for the door. I opened it and saw his car parked by the street. He waved to me. I smiled and then turned to lock my door. Once my door was secure, I dragged myself to his car. Yeah, I wasn’t good at hiding my sadness. Alec would be easily fooled though. Sad to say, but he did fall for Natalia’s shenanigans.

“Hey babe,” he said as I got into my side.

“Hey,” I fake smiled.

“How are you holding up?” he questioned.

“I am fantastic,” I lied.

“Bullshit,” he shouted. Great, he used Amy’s most said word.

“I’m fine. I have gotten over what happened. It was my fault anyways.”

“Yeah, it didn’t seem that way when you called me up crying yesterday.”

Maybe he was smarter than I thought he was.

“So today we are going to get your mind off of that,” he continued. “No school today.”

“Since when was there no school today?” I asked liked a dumbass.

“Everyone else has school. I mean that we should just ditch today,” he explained.

“You’re such a bad influence on me. What is this, the second time you made me ditch school?”

“Last time, half the day was already over! But ooh better watch out, next I might make you steal a balloon on free balloon day!”

“Point taken, Mr. Squarepants. Now what were you suggesting that we do?”

“Well, first let’s get out of here,” he said driving away from my house. I looked out the window. This was good for me. I needed this. Showing my face at school would just be a horrible idea. Once again, so glad to have Alec. I decided to face forward and I saw that we were approaching Alec’s house. He stopped the car in front and smiled at me.
