*<•Nick's POV•>*
After messing around all day, I got to football, which I was really excited. I knew Karl would be in the stands watching me, and see me in the locker room to listen in on what Logan has to say about what he said to Karl during lunch. I was mostly glad that I was able to play football after my injury.
When practice started we did our normal warm-ups, then practiced new strategies and mastering others. Practice was almost over so coach sent us to the bench to hydrate, we'd team huddle after he put away the equipment. I wish he'd go faster, Logan sat down next to me and started talking.
"So Sap what are you doing after practice?" I didn't answer because I couldn't, if I told I was doing nothing he'd ask to hang out and I didn't want that. To be honest I don't even know why I'm friends with him, he was cool and normal at first. Now all I see is someone who likes me more than a friend, I don't know what to do. All he does now is make me uncomfortable.
"I'll take that as a yes then, I hope we can hang soon." I shrugged, I heard small giggles behind me but I ignored it until they sounded like Karl's. I went to turn around but before I did Karl sat between me and Logan, I sat there grateful but confused. George sat between Logan and Karl, thank god.
I looked over to Clay, he was smirking. Clay stood up and sat between George and Logan completely kicking Logan off the bench, he scoffed and left. We all started laughing hard, that was so cool of them to sit between me and Logan, and end up kicking him off the bench.
*~in the locker room~*
I see Logan sitting on the bench in the locker room, I walked over to him and sat down.
"Hey Logan" I said
"Hi sap" he replied
I looked around for Karl, I saw him peak around the corner confirming that he was there and ready. I smiled at him and he made his classic smile.
"there are rumors about you saying I'm yours? To a kid? I'm not sure who you were talking to but I just wanted to see if this was true."
Logan sat there wide-eyed and opened his mouth to speak but rethought his words to say to me, I knew he was brainstorming lies but at this point he'd have to tell the truth, the silence was too loud now.
"yea they're true" he stated "but listen sap" I turned to him, purposely looking disappointed. "I like you, like more than a friend-" I sat there numb I didn't know how to reply, I saw Karl peak around and smile at me and wave.
"Logan.. I don't like you more than a friend." Logan looked at the floor, "I'm sorry, we can stay as friends though." Logan nodded and left weakly, he looked like he was about to cry. I felt bad but I really liked Karl, maybe even loved. I couldn't give that up, I have a real chance with him.
"Nick" I heard Karl whisper, I looked at him and smiled "good job" he came over and hugged me.
"Thanks Karl" I hugged back, it was the warmest feeling ever. I didn't want to let go, he was so comfortable but it had to end soon.
"ok Nick I'll see you tomorrow, can you call tonight?" Karl asked, I smiled.
"Of course! See you Karl" I said and smiled
"Bye sappynappy" Karl said as he giggled and walked away. I was excited for tonight, we'd probably stay up all night and end up not going to school tomorrow. That'd be funny, shit wait, how am I going to call Karl with my dad being around. He'll kill me for being on the phone with Karl, I need to find a way around this.
*~time skip<333~*
I got back home, I had to sneak up the stairs so I didn't wake up my dad who was sleeping on the couch. Now I had to plan a way to be on call with Karl while my dad is home, the plan is- I don't have a plan. I'll figure it out but I need to soon, I want to be able to call Karl as long as I want tonight. I could call him and be very very quiet, but then again it's Karl, there no doubt that he'll make me laugh.
I got a notification on my phone, I ran over hoping it was Karl. It was! Thank goodness, ok

Jacobs<33

Read 4:32 pm
I have until 5:40 to come up with a plan, wait if my dads still asleep I can just hang in my bathroom and there is no way he'll wake up. Once he's down, he's down trust me. I know.
Now I need to shower and change I feel gross even though I took a shower before I left the school, maybe because it's school. Eh whatever.
I got up grabbed a Harvard sweater and light blue jeans, it should work. I smiled at the thought of Karl and me being on call all night, it sounded so fun.
*~time skippy~*
It's 5:35 and for some reason I'm nervous, it's so weird because I see him everyday at school and feel normal except for a few times when I get butterflies from his special smile, his smile always gets me caught in a phase.
Just the energy it gives off is so amazing, like I said it's a sunshine smile. The sun should be jealous of Karl, he's way brighter than anything I can think of. Even brighter than the brightest things in my life. He's more everything, more pretty, more perfect, he's everything I want yet here I am looking absolutely dumb next to him. There's no way to explain how much I want to be with him, I thought we'd just stay as people we saw everyday but just never talked to.
I've been watching him and his dumb fake friend run around all the time, I see Alex with him sometimes. That's what makes me happy because I know Alex is nice to him, Karl looks really happy with his friends. I know he's friends with Jimmy, Chandler, Nolan and Chris.
He's just the perfect person for me, yet I'm not the perfect one for him.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by a call, it was Karl! It was exactly 5:45, holy shit he's on time I love that. I answer it and sprint to the bathroom,
"Hey Karl!" I said,
"Hi Nick! How are you?" He asked, I smiled. He's cute ain't he.
"I'm good Karl! How are you cutie?" I heard his giggles, I laughed a bit. He's so contagious, his laugh, his smile.
"I'm good sappy" I laughed, the nickname was good I'll give him that.
"So Jacobs, have you dated anyone before?" He was still setting up his phone so I waited for him to set it up, once he did he looked amazing.
"I have dated one girl before, her name was Alli" I nodded,
"Continue" I said waiting for more information on this girl,
"Well she had brown hair, super wavy, greenish blue eyes, and she was a little shorter than me. We broke up because she started acting toxic and mean, it felt one-sided" I nodded, I felt bad. I mean I've gone through a break-up too but it was mutual, it ended on good terms.
"Well, what's your dream person or significant other?" He perked up in his seat and smiled, it looked like he knew exactly what he was going to say.
"I don't really have a preference, it just depends if they have a good laugh, smile, and personality in general." I nodded and laughed, "what about you Nick?"
"Well lets see" Karl giggled, "they have to have a good smile, pretty eyes, and be mine obviously."
We spent hours on the phone but I couldn't help but notice the ring I got him every time he lifted his hand, I'm so glad he likes it. It was pure coincidence that it fit him which is so cool.
I'm hoping that he wears it a lot, every where possibly. That'd be so cute and amazing if he wore it all the time, it fits him perfectly.
