A Boiling Isles Christmas [editing prosses]

December 17th

Gus's POV

"I'm here to see Edric" I say to Emria standing at the door, "he's out with his boyfriend, they went to the school's grugby field" she says and slams the door shut. I sigh and walk to the school, I pull my jacket around me tighter trying to keep myself warm. I make it to hexside and walk around the side of

the school to the grugby field. I see Skara, Boscha, Kat, and Amelia sitting on the belchers watching Edric and what looked like his boyfriend playing a game. "Gus!!" Skara yelled, I smile and look over waving. I look back at the two person game, 4the blonde boy falls on to the ground when Edric throws

a ball at him, I walk over "you ok dude?" that's when I see his face and smirk, "Hunter? that makes actually a lot of since" he scoffs. "babe you ok?" Edric asks taking hunter's hand, "yeah I'm fine" Hunter says. "oh hey Gus what brings you here?" Edric asks, I sigh "actually I need to talk to you, since Willow

and Luz are out of town I need someone to help me" I say. Edric shrugs "sure Gus, I'll be right back" Edric says to Hunter before walking off to a set of belchers far away from everyone else, "ok Gus whats your issue?" I take a deep breath "I realized I have a crush on Matt and I really want to ask him out but

I don't know how to do that" I say quickly. Edric laugh "whoa chill Gus, look I'll help you I mean I easily asked Hunter out" he says smirking, "oh really? because I remember it differently?" Hunter says spooking Edric, "I um how long have you been standing there" Edric asks Hunter shrugs "long enough

to hear you say you asked me out like a champ, if I remember correctly you were sweating like crazy and it took you a full hour to get a single word out" hunter says, I chuckle as Edrics face turns bright red. "Look illusionist just go for it, Edric did a Terrible job of  telling me but at least he went for it which

I love" hunter said ruffling Edrics hair. "Thanks guys, I'll um I'll see you later" i say and run off the field. I walk along the path back to my house, I sigh stopping in front of my house. what to do now? that when I see someone inside with my dad, I open the door, I freeze Matt along with Skaras parents are

sitting on the couch. "oh, hey son. The Blanes and Matt stopped by, come join us" My dad says I go and sit on the couch next to Matt. I feel myself start to sweat and take deep breaths "Gus are you ok?" Matt whispers to me, I nod but matt doesn't believe me. "Umm Mr Porter, me and Gus are going to go

upstairs, I hope you don't mind" Mattholomule says, My dad chuckles "of course I don't mind Mattholomule" I sigh and follow Matt upstairs. I fall down on my bed "thanks matt" I say still out of breath, I flops next to me "no problem that's what friends are for right?" He asks, friends I wish that

were true, "hey Um matt?" I say he looks at me "yes Gus?" I look into his eyes I can see his looking at me, I start to lean forward when a loud knock on the door makes me fall off the bed, the door opens "oh sorry Gus didn't mean to scare you but the Blanes are leaving, Skara got hurt during Grugby so

they have to leave early" My dad says, I shake my head "I'm fine dad, um I guess I'll see you later then Matt?" I ask the red faces boy nods. "yeah sure..." He walks out of the room, my door shuts I fall back on my back on the floor, "why am I such a love sick idiot" I say covering my face with my hands......
