-OLD- The truth isn't always pretty. [Salvis]

Crush

Do I have a crush on Sal?

No, no way, no way I can have a crush on him, I'm not gay, that's a sin.
But it does make sense, what else would I be feeling? I- but there's just no way! I hate Sally face, he's an annoying fag.
I look at Sal once again, this time for only a few seconds. Yet within those few seconds I some feel that Frankenstein's monster of feelings again!
I'm not sure how to react, I mean I've been bullying this kid for the longest time, how the hell do I have a crush on him?!
More importantly, how do I tell hi-
'RRRRRRING'
My train of thought is cut off by the bell, I decide to take a rest on the matter, but the thought keeps itching the back of my mind, taunting me for my sin. I hate it, I didn't choose to have feelings for a boy.
What would my dad do if he found out?

[Sal POV]

My day so far has been pretty normal, however, I keep noticing Travis looking at me a lot, he's been acting really weird lately.
For some reason I find myself pondering what his home life is like, I don't know why I just have a feeling his home life is bad, I feel sympathy for him.
I also noticed how he seems to have no one to talk to, he always looks so lonely during lunch.

"Hello, earth to Sal?"

The sound of Ashley's soothing voice gets me out of my own head

"Hm, what?"

"Dude you're being so still, thought you were dead for a second there!"

Larry chimes in with a joking tone, I laugh a bit and glance to where Travis is before deciding to take my mind off him.

"Who knows, maybe I'm a ghost! Oooooh!"

Larry, Ash and Todd chuckle and we continue through the rest of our lunch, however, I often find my eyes turn the the table where the blonde boy sits, alone.
