~Corey's POV~

I wake up at 7 a.m. with a big smile on my face after having a fun night with friends

I get out of bed grabbing a towel as well as a bottle of shampoo and a bar of soap with the intent to shower and clean myself

I leave my dorm and make my way upstairs to the dorm showers

As I reach the showers I notice that nobody else is there so I get to shower in peace

I start the water and remove my clothes as I step inside feeling the warm water soothe my back and run down my small body

I put a quarter size of shampoo in my hand before rubbing my hands together and running it through my hair as I massage my scalp and make sure the shampoo is evenly dispensed through my hair

I run my head under the shower head as I hum in response to the relaxing feeling as I get it all out

I wash my body with a bar of soap before shutting off the shower as I reach out and grabbing a towel

I wrap it around my waist and pulls the curtain to the side as I gasp loudly when I'm met with Joey passing by and stopping as he sees me

"Oh my god Joey you scared the hell out of me"

I say as I put my hand on my chest, my heart beating fast as he smiles and laughs

"Sorry, I guess we both had the same idea"

He says while looking at me biting his bottom lip

"Hey after I finish my shower meet me near my room and we'll go for a walk around the school"

He says as I nod a little too excitedly

"Yea I'd love that, I'll see you then"

I say as I leave the showers and makes my way downstairs to my dorm so I can get ready

I blow dry and style my hair before brushing my teeth and getting dressed

After getting dressed I make sure to leave a still sleeping Ricky a note so he doesn't worry

After getting dressed I make sure to leave a still sleeping Ricky a note so he doesn't worry

I leave the dorm and walks upstairs where Joey and Billy's dorm is located as I knock on it and wait patiently

In just a few short minutes Joey opens the door and smiles at me as he's all dressed up with the exception of his white button up shirt that's unbuttoned and untucked

I bite my bottom lip staring at him as he buttons up his shirt and tucks it in while he leaves his dorm room and smiles

"You ready?"

He ask me while I nod as we walk downstairs before he opens the front door of the school for me like the gentleman he is

We walk down the stairs and start taking a walk around the school, watching as students as well as the headmaster start to look at our prank in the quad

Joey and I share a laugh as we talk about each other and the both of us share very emotional stories about our lives which leads to me crying and Joey comforting me under some trees

It's clear that Joey has learned how to hide his emotions and grow from what he's gone through where as I still have a lot of internalized trauma

He hugs me close to his body, placing his chin on my head and comforting me as I cry into his chest

"God I'm sorry Joey, I really hate being this emotional"

I say as he looks down at me and kisses my forehead leaving me to blush and smile

"Corey, you don't ever have to feel like you're worthless ever again as long as you're with me and the rest of the guys but especially with me. Corey I realize that we've only known each other for only a few months but I can honestly say that I care about you more than I've ever cared about anyone else before"

He grabs the side of my face with both of his hands making me look up into his eyes before he leans in and pressed his nose against mine

"As a matter of fact I think I can honestly say that I might be in love with you"

He says before he presses his lips against mine making my eyes shoot open before I relax and have my first kiss with a boy who's made my heart flutter for the past few months

Joey pulls away and smiles as I bite my bottom lip and looks deep into his eyes

"Let's finish our walk"

He says as he grabs my hand and we finish our walk at the stairs to the entrance where Billy, Ricky, Snuffy, and Hank are walking outside and looking at us with confused looks on their faces

"Where have y'all been?"

Snuffy ask as he looks at us holding hands

"Just getting to know each other better"

Joey says as he looks at me and squeezes my hand reassuring me that he meant what he said earlier

I blush and smile as we all walk towards the quad where a bunch of students surround the prank while the headmaster stands in the middle looking around at all his furniture

Everyone laughs but soon go silent as the Dean walks in the middle with the headmaster as they both have a quick conversation before the headmaster walks away leaving the Dean to turn around and point at Billy and signal him to walk towards him

"You!"

Billy walks up in front of the display

"And you"

He does the same to Joey as he stands beside Billy

"And you, too"

He says doing the same to Snuffy and Ricky before he snaps his fingers and does the same to me and Hank

We all stand together waiting for Dean Parker to talk to us

"You gentlemen have the honor of returning this furniture back to it's a original place"

As he's speaking he's interrupted with Billy tossing a banana peel into the trash can by the desk making us all snicker and try hard not to make it so obvious

"Pick up that banana"

Dean Parker says annoyed by Billy's antics as he quickly gets the banana peel out of the trash can

"Are there any objections?"

Dean Parker ask as he looks at all of us while we all say no before everyone leaves the quad so we can put all the furniture back in the headmaster's office which makes us laugh as we make yet another memory as friends
