The LGBTQIA2+ gang (old)

Meet Charlie Mysak

"Congratulations you've got an A+ in your art project!" Everyone looks at me with pure jealousy in their eyes. Of course no one is as good as me in art. This is not the first time I got an A+ in arts, after all it is my forte. They all wished they were as good as me in arts but maybe they wouldn't want to be- Wait, wait I didn't introduce myself yet. I'm Charlie Mysak and I have the biggest crush on Maverick Campbell. Oh geez I did not just mentioned that right that? Oh yeah I totally did. Even if I like him a lot it's not like I got the guts to talk to him. He's the school basketball captain and I'm just me, Charlie Jones, that's just good at arts. He'll never notice a nobody like me. Don't get me wrong I like him and all so it means I'm gay but no, I'm pansexual. Last year I had a minor crush on one of friends that's non-binary but I got it over it quickly cause my new found interest was Maverick. Oh Maverick~ with his beautiful toned body, sometimes I wish I could be him. Yeah maybe not be a basketball player cause I heard they're all homophobic. Wait, it means he might be too... s**t. I hope not. Yesterday I went for the first time watch one of his basketball game. The worst part as that we made eye contact. Oh geez, it was kinda hot tho. He looked at me with beautiful ocean blue eyes. Mesmerizing~ If only he knew me as someone else than the boy that was randomly cheering for him. Huh, life sucks. Kylan keeps begging me to go talk to him but I just can't.. He's too popular.. How can I even try to speak to him without someone in the way? The only thing I'm good at is arts, arts, arts. Would he like my drawings? Probably not he likes basketball, a sport team play of all things. Ugh when can I get over this crush? It doesn't help that his so good looking. I'm not even joking. He has chocolate brown hair with his typical undercut haircut and I'm just here with a side fringe. How ugly. He has a tone body, and muscular arms. Ah, I can't even begin to imagine the sort of 6 pack he probably has. It would be a miracle to get to see it. He rarely shows his abs. The times that I got the chance to see him, he didn't get rid of the sweat from his body with his shirt. Nah, he just let it lose, unlike the other boys. I wonder why? It doesn't matter. I have to get out of here as fast as I can when class ends. "Ok class, today will be doing another project. This time we'll be using acrylic paint. This paint isn't like the other one-." I think I'll rather stop listening on my teachers speech. I love Ms Lessings and all but I already know everything she has to say. She continues to go on and on about it to eventually let us think about what we want to do. I already know what I'm gonna do. It doesn't take me long to start the project but then the bell rings. Yes, finally I can get out of here. I have to go talk to Kylan. "Hey you got an A+ again. Will you ever care to tell what's your secret?." "No, it won't be a secret if I tell you." We pack our things and head to the school's lobby area to go talk some more. "Hey you know Maverick?" "Yeah what about him?" "I went to his game yesterday and, we made eye contact." "See, I told you something would happen. At least it's progress right?" "Yeah but don't even think twice that I want to go talk to him." "Yeah, yeah you're to shy to talk to him. I already know that." He tries to talk in a mock tone. It never works when they do that. Oh have I ever told you that's the friend I had a crush on last year? Well yeah that's them. "But still..He's to popular to want to speak to a nobody like me.." They push my shoulder in a teasing way." Hey don't ever tell yourself that you're a nobody. Who knows he might want to talk to you, but doesn't know how too." "Oh shut it Kylan." "Come on you know I might be right." The worst part is that they really might be right but I seriously doubt that he wants to talk to me. Maverick Campbell would like to speak with me? Nah, not happening in a million years. "Besides he's in your chemistry class right?" "Yeah" I look down with a flushed face. "Hey, if you have a project in pairs in two you could maybe get in a group with him." I look towards them like they officially lost it. "Are you insane?! How on earth would I ever get in a groups with him?!" "Yo calm down, it was just a suggestion. Didn't think you would take it seriously.." "But..but he already has plenty of friends already, he wouldn't want to pair up with me." "What do you want me to do? I have a friend that's basically crying over his unrequited love and I can't really do anything for him." "Hey stop talking about me in 3rd person." "Do you realize how stupid it is?" "Yeah I know but still it's not like I can get over my little crush on him." "More like a huge crush." I punch them on the shoulder cause they offended me. "Hey what was that for?" "Please shut up.." The bell rings and we go take our things for our respective class. I'm nervous  this is the first time I'll see him since yesterday. I enter the class and I see him already seated with his friends in the back. Yeah I really can't talk to him. I go sit down on my respective seat and then class starts. During all the period I felt eyes watching me. I wonder who is staring at me like that? At some point I look behind me and make eye contact with Maverick. OMG!!! I just made eye contact with him again. I turn my glance towards the front as soon as he sees me. Oh non, how embarrassing.. That's no way I can deny that, he was the one watching me all class long..but how is that possible? Why would he do that? It's no use thinking about it cause class is over and I won't have the chance to talk to him cause I'm too shy to do it.. I get ready to head out but I notice that Maverick doesn't leave with his friends. He seems like he's waiting for something. Wait? Does he want to talk to me?! He walks up to me. "Hey, I saw you yesterday at the basketball game. Care to share your name?" No he did not just speak to me. Me being an idiot tells him that. "Me?" I point towards me. "Yes you silly. Who else could I be talking to when we are the only ones left in the class?" "I don't want to bother you guys but I have works to do, so can you guys get out of my classroom!" "Oh sorry Mr Anderson." "It's alright you go can go kiddos."
We head out from the classroom together. "Oh I didn't answer your question from earlier, silly me, it's Charlie, Charlie Mysak." "I guess you already know me so I don't really have to tell you my name." "Yeah." I chuckle nervously. "Oh well I'll see you around." "Ok." I can't believe it I talked to him!!!! I didn't even stutter! Wow that's boosting my ego, haha. Wow this must really be some kind of dream.
