Not the same (boyxboy)

Chapter 2

          I ran all the way to the boys bathroom on the other side of the school. Almost nobody went in these bathrooms so I knew nobody would bother me. By the time I got there I was panting and out of breath. I sat down on the floor and started to cry.
          I slid down the wall and sat on the cold tiles and cried until I heard the bell ring. I was dreading math, my next class because my eyes were definitely red and I was extremely embarrassed about how I burst into tears in front of the hot new kid, along with probably fifty kids!
          I got up off the floor and walked over to the mirror to look at myself. I was almost tempted to stay in the bathroom for the rest of the day. My eyes were puffy and red and I had tear tracks all down my face. I quickly wiped away my tears, took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
          As soon as I left the bathroom I saw two girls whispering in the hallway.
Its not about you its not about you
          I reassured myself, but I didn't really believe it. I definitely had anxiety, even though I was undiagnosed because I can't remember ever seeing a doctor in my life. I just couldn't stop worrying about anything and everything and I was sure I could win a prize for overthinking because I was amazing at it.
          When I got to math I sat down in my usual seat. We were lucky enough to get to choose our own seats at the beginning of the year, and I chose to sit alone at my two person table. Everyone else sat in pairs but I didn't really mind because I didn't want to sit by anyone anyways.
          I slumped down in my chair and put my head in my arms to try to hide my face. I knew my puffy red eyes weren't going anywhere anytime soon. The bell rang and I closed my eyes.
I was almost asleep when I heard the loud door creak open and slam shut.
"Sorry I'm late" said a deep unfamiliar voice. I didn't bother lifting my head, I didn't bother learning the voices of anybody here. I then heard the familiar voice of my teacher Mr Johnson,
"It's quite alright Cameron, it is your first day after all! You can sit by James over here." I looked up in surprise and saw Mr Johnson pointing at me. At his side was the new kid.
          Me and Cameron met eyes and I was surprised to see his eyes looked gentle and he looked concerned. I looked away quickly, embarrassed because of how attractive he was and how I looked like a zombie who just spent the last hour crying.
          I heard him sit down next to me. I wanted to see him up close but I didn't want him to catch me staring especially with puffy eyes. I finally turned to look at him and he was somehow even more beautiful up close.
          His fluffy black hair was covering his eyes and he had smooth tan skin and lots of tiny freckles. His eyes were staring intensely at the board as he scribbled down notes with strong looking hands. He stopped writing and turned to look at me.
          He met my eyes and I blushed red and looked down. I could feel his eyes studying me. Internally I was panicking.
I wonder if he recognizes me! He probably does and now he thinks I'm weir-
          My thoughts were interrupted by Cameron's deep voice,
          "Im really sorry about lunch, I didn't ask her to do that" he said, "you didn't do anything wrong I promise" I looked up and met his eyes. He looked sincere.
          "Y-yeah its okay" I said and blushed bright red. I cursed myself for stuttering, especially in front of him.
          "Let me make it up to you" He said "are you free tonight?" I looked up in surprise and stared at him. I didn't know what to say, nobody had ever invited me to hang out with them.
          "Y-yeah why?" I said nervously. I immediately regretted saying so. I had to get home and read!
          "Do you want to go rollerskating with me tonight?" He asked "it's open 4 to 8" Reading honestly sounded pretty boring compared to going out and skating, especially with a hot guy.
          I don't even know him though! I thought, what if he kidnaps me! And ties me up in his basement and feeds me to his dogs!
          I dismissed my thoughts and took a deep breath.
          "Sure I'd l-love to go rollerskating tonight" I said and he smiled. He said something but I didn't hear, entranced by his beautiful white teeth and perfect pink lips.
          "James?" I blushed red
          "Y-yeah?"
          "What time do you want to be picked up tonight?" He asked with a small smile
          "Umm will four work?" I asked, it gave me thirty minutes to walk home and thirty minutes to get ready to go.
          "Works perfect" he grinned and I couldn't help but smile.
          Once we got all the details worked out it was almost time to leave. When the bell rang I got up to leave and on my way out he turned to me
          "see you at eight" he said with a wink. I blushed and started walking to my next class smiling.
          I was going rollerskating with Cameron. I couldn't believe it.
