Recap

    " Nate what the hell? Are you cheating on me on top of that with a girl?" came a voice of a strikingly handsome guy.

Uh oh. Wait what Nate is gay?

Julie's POV

Nate scrambled from beneath me and quickly stood up and went towards the direction of the droolworthy guy if he wasn't gay he'd be a ladykiller. Nate went near the guy and started explaining

    "Sorry baby it was an accident. I didn't mean to do that. I would never cheat on you. Don't you trust me?"

    So Nate was actually gay. And all this time I had been thinking wait what had I been thinking, I mean we're just friends right? So what to worry about? In fact its good that he's got such a strikingly handsome man as his boyfriend.

I watched the exchange between these two feeling completely confused and lost.

The boyfriend looked at Nate with an accusing look keeping a hand on his hip. They had quite an entertaining gay fight but in between they started cracking and laughing their asses off and I left staring at them feeling dumb.

They looked at me and Nate said "Gotcha"  and then I finally grasped what had actually happened.

    They had actually fooled me into thinking they were gay. I would have totally lashed out at them but I laughed it out just because I was too lazy to be angry. I went up to the new guy and reached out my hand " Julie"

   He gave his hand and said " Reid, Reid watson" in a posh british tone.

   "Fancy. You british?" I asked.

"Yes milady." he bowed.

"I think you deserve a proper introduction. I'm a childhood friend of Nate from England. And I just couldn't bear the distance between us so I crossed all limits to be with him. And this ungrateful brat seems to have forgotten about me." he said smacking Nate on the head.

       "So, you already know about me?" I asked

" Yes, you my darling are the special friend of this dimwit the one with psycho brother and My on and only true love." He added the last part cheesily. And I'm a special friend? What does that mean?

      Then he went towards Jayden

"Hey bud. How've you been?"

He said.

"I'm fine. I missed you Reid." he said jumping on his arms.

Ried spun him around for a while then put him on the ground. Making small talk all of us went inside the house.

    Reid was a pretty interesting person. He valued relationships he had with his family, friends and he was totally outgoing. He came to the states for Nate and was now going to study with us. He was a lovable yet crazy person you just couldn't help but like him. Talking with him I learnt about him but more about Nate and added little peices in the puzzle of the confusing creature that is Nate. I got to know about all his antics and his embarrasing moments like how he was dressed up like a girl till 2 because his mother always wanted a girl.

      Now that I notice Nate rarely talks about his family or the family members, I wonder what happened. All the things Reid told about Nate like him being cool, flirty, funny  were totally different from how he is quiet, reserved. I wonder what happened, why he changed so much.

    Being with these three guys I felt like a mother keeping her children on leash it was craziness overloaded. Nate had loosened up a little and was behaving totally crazy. Reid being here made Nate a totally different person and these boys together were unstoppable.

    After doing a lot of talking, shouting, fighting, and everything that could be done we came to a conclusion that all of us were hungry. Lazy and untalented as we were we decided to order pizza and chinese.

     While waiting we decided to prank call some places. We called pizza hut and asked for a large sized krabby pattie to be made by spongebob himself. We called taco bell and ordered some dishes to be made by the rat in ratatoullie. We had a good laugh.

         Then the food arrived and we dug in like we hadn't ate forever. One thing led to other and we staryed a food fight. Me and Nate on one side and Reid and Jay on other. Then we had a quite handfull to clean up so we first cleaned up the apartment and washed ourselves. I stayed a little more longer then decided to go home after promising to come back. On the way I thought about how much fun I had. The road ahead was clear to me, now I knew where I was going and better days were ahead for us.
