Charlie was currently in PE, and they were warming up.

"COME ON YEAR 10! WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS ALL TERM AND NO ONE HAS BEATEN CHARLIE'S TIME YET." 

Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, Year 11's were playing football. 

"COME ON. YES!"

Nick had turned his attention to the year 10s by hearing Charlie's name.

Why did he do that?

He didn't know.

All he did know is that Charlie was very fast. Perfect for the rugby team.

"CHARLIE'S LEAVING YOU IN THE DUST!"

"Nick, over here!" 

Nick had finally taken his eyes of Charlie speeding and returned his attention to the football game.

                                                         ----------------------------

Nick had noticed Charlie removing books from his locker, and decided to ask him the question.

"Hey."

Suddenly, all of Charlie's books toppled out of his hands, out of pure shock.

Charlie had sighed and went to pick up his books, Nick immediately going after him to help.

They both soon stood up, and Nick placed the books in Charlie's hands.

"Thanks" muttered Charlie

Nick sighed and went on with his question.

"So, um, there's something I wanted to ask you..."

Charlie couldn't help it. His brain went full auto-pilot and thought of things he didn't want to think. He was used to it by now.

His thoughts went on giving him false hope.

"Charlie," said false Nick. "...I wanted to tell you that I'm gay to. And that I'm in love with you. Do you want to go out with me? I want to be with you forever..."

But, as all dreams to, they come to a end, and he snapped out of his thoughts

"Do you want to join the rugby team?" said Nick.

Charlie was taken aback. What? The rugby team? Of all things?

"What?"

Nick still went on, not noticing Charlie's shock.

"We have enough players for the team, but we aren't allowed to actually play against other teams without a reserve. I saw you running in PE and you're, like, really fast. So...I thought you might be interested."

Charlie didn't know what to say. He couldn't survive rugby. He couldn't even survive school! 

"I don't really know how to play..."

Nick already thought of a response to that.

"It's fine, I can teach you."

Charlie sighed. There's really no way out of this is there?

"Aren't I bit small and weak to play rugby?"

 Turns out Nick had a response to this as well.

"We're just a school team, it's not that serious."

Charlie could help but smile a little. He just fell into his trap.

"So you are saying I'm small and weak?"
