Teenagers in Love, Part 2

Words fell out of my mouth
It was rushed, I know.
I'm sorry
But...

Reki's pov:

We were on the boat, heading to the island. Cherry and Joe were there too. We all figured out that those two liked each other since long time ago. It was obvious but I didn't know they would be in a relationship this soon. Aren't they scared of being discriminated or scared of being judged? How long do they think they will stay together? Isn't it scary? Is it because they are adults or because they were fearless? They always looked confident while skateboarding so maybe...

"What are you thinking about?" a voice interrupted my chain of thoughts, as I was looking at the clear ocean.

"Langa... What's up?" I asked, while the blue hair boy approached me, resting his head on the metal bar.

"Why are you spacing out? Are you not having fun?" he asked in a low voice.

"Nothing... just enjoying the nice weather. Is everything okay?"

He got closer to my face. His lips reaching for my ear. My face turning redder with every second. What was he up to?

"When are you gonna stop lying to me?" he whispered in my ear, which sent shivers down my spine.

"N-N-Nothing!" I yelled, pulling back, far away from him. Someday he will cause me a heart attack. My heart was beating so fast, my hands were shaking, and I was feeling light all of the sudden. 'Calm down' I repeated over and over again.

"GUYS! WE ARE ALMOST THERE" Miya screamed, saving me from this situation once again.

I smiled at Langa, signaling him to follow me. I walked over to where the others were standing. Joe and Cherry were flirt-arguing as usual while shadow was making sure Miya doesn't fall out of the boat. It would have been a normal day, but my feelings had to act up. I was scared but I had to cover them up... I didn't want to ruin the day for anyone.

"Kojiro you stupid Gigolo!" Cherry screamed.

"What's a Gigolo mom...?" Miya asked, sarcastically.

"Miya!" the three adults screamed before a hand grabbed mine. I looked to my side, and it was Langa.

"Reki can we skate when we land?" I couldn't move or speak. I was frozen in place and time. It was like I was hypnotized. My heart was racing, and my body started sweating uncontrollably. I wanted to get away, run and hide from embarrassment but I just couldn't do anything.

"L-L-Langa..." That was all I could manage to say. I was blushing so hard that my skin was about to melt.

"Reki... you okay....?" He asked again, squeezing my hands a tiny bit tighter. I just couldn't handle it anymore. He was killing me.

"Reki, why are you so red? Is it because of the sun?" Miya said. No response.

"Reki are you alright... did something happen" Joe asked again. Still no response.

"EARTH TO REKI!" Miya screamed, jumping in front of me.

"I am okay..." I muttered, blinking my eyes from the shock.

"Come on ... let's go sit in the shadow" Cherry said, before dragging me to the benches on the other side of the boat. Finally, our hands detached... I could finally breathe.
