I avoided him.

I know it was a shitty thing to do but I did. He was the first person I've gotten close to, ever. He tried to kiss me last night and that could have ruined everything.

I wasn't even sure if I considered him a friend, a best friend. I wasn't sure what this was or if it was anything at all.

My phone vibrated on the table and I look over at it and look back down to my notebook. I chose to come to the art room for lunch, it was always open for the art students to finish a project or just to practice.

This was the second time Minho called and he had texted here times but I didn't answer any of them. What was I supposed to say?

Hi, I'm totally avoiding you because you tried to kiss me and though I would love to know how you taste on my lips, my family won't appreciate their son—only son being gay.

Yeah, no. I'd rather just ignore him.

My phone lights up with a text. "Where are you?" it said.

I sigh, and before I could get myself to grab the phone and just turn it off the art room door opens and I look towards it.

"I-I didn't think anyone was in here, sorry"

He was unfamiliar, a new kid.

The boy was about to walk out of the room when I spoke up. "It's fine, you don't have to leave"

He hesitantly looked back at me and gives me a tight-lipped smile. Slowly walking towards me, making me close my notebook.

"Sorry, I wasn't trying to be nosy and look at your work"

I shake my head "You don't have to apologize". He seemed nervous and for some reason, it made me less nervous. "Are you new here, I've never seen you around?"

He chuckles and nods "I am, my family just move here yesterday"

"Yesterday? You didn't even have time to settle before starting school"

"My family is big on education and they don't like the idea of me missing school"

I nod slowly, knowing all about that. "I'm Jisung"

"I know", I furrow my brow "I-I just mean my cousin lived here his whole life and so before moving here he gave me the 411"

"Cousin, who's your cousin?"

"Kim Seungmin"

Kim Seungmin is not a jock or a bad person. A good kid has lots of money and gets into no trouble. Overall, he stays to himself but his best friend Hyunjin loves to gossip and that's where things get messy.

"He didn't say anything bad, just that your basically the riches person here and you have no friends"

"Sounds about right, which is sad" I chuckle and scratch at my neck as I grew embarrassed at the reality of it. "You never told me your name"

The freckled boy's eyes widen "Right, I'm Felix. Lee Felix"

"Lee? You're not related to Minho are you?"

"Minho as in the boy that hardly talks and when he is talking it's when he's bitching at a girl named Danielle?"

I chuckle and nod "Yes, that Minho"

Felix shakes his head "No, not that I know of"

"Good"

"Is there something I should be aware of with this Minho? You get all red when mentioning him"

I widen my eyes and shake my head "N-No"

Felix's eyes squint at me "Mhm"

For some reason, I felt like I could trust the boy. Plus, I needed to tell someone.

"Fine" I start. "But you can't tell a soul" I hold out my pinky for him to take.

He looks at it and hooks his pinky with mine, kissing his hand and saying "Promise"

"Minho is actually a great guy and he and I have been getting closer and last night his family came over to my house for some business dinner. I took him up to my room after and he tried to kiss me"

Felix just sits there "Well, did y'all kiss?"

I shook my head "No, I turned away before we could because I was nervous and scared". I look down at my lap "Is it bad that I wanted him to kiss me though?"

"Not at all"

I look up and he gives me a comforting smile "Next time don't look away and just own it. Kiss him back and better yet lean in first"

I shake my head vigorously "I'm not that confident"

"Why not? Your good looking and he obviously has some sort of feelings for you if he is showing you a part of himself that nobody knows about"

This Felix fella is good with his words, why didn't he move here a long time ago?

I chew at my bottom lip anxiously "Maybe your right"

"I am right, you know my cousin calls me most nights before moving here for dating advice"

"Oh, are you in a relationship?"

"No, never been in one but I'm damn great at giving  advice"

I just look at him and we both burst out in loud laughter.
