lie

Nick POV

"Karl?!" I shout as i look around "Karl!"
but he's nowhere to be found, he somehow disappeared.

"hey- did you see where Karl went?" I ask Mari
she looks around, but shakes her head. "No sorry."

i sigh and walk back, only to find George leaving. "where are you going?" I ask "away from that thing." he says.

I look at George and Clay.

"please try to find Karl, I lost him. I've to explain things to him." I say "why did you even say that you like me?" he asks.

"It was- because i wanted them to leave you alone. I thought that if their friend likes someone, they won't touch them. but I was wrong."

"just because of that? i can protect myself." he says "yes, if one of them are alone. but when all three of them are against you-"

"then it is like that. you can't help it, i can't help it, the teacher can't do anything." he says "saying that you 'like' me makes more problems, not less."

"I'll be looking for Karl, you talk to Clay." he says and leaves. I turn around to clay and see him sitting there, eating his sandwich.

"Clay." I sit myself down next to him "hm." he makes. "I'm sorry for lying to you." I apologise "no, it's alright. It's not like i didn't know that my best friend is lying to me." he ironically laughs.

"I didn't want to lie, but you guys were messing with him, so i thought that it would help him when I say that I like him.. so you guys leave him alone." I explain to Clay.

"I'm really sorry. I'll never lie to you again.. i swear."

It stays quiet.

"give me something from the sandwich!" I say as i take it out of his hand, he laughs and sits himself down probably.

"you wanna come over tonight? I won't be home from Monday. Our history class is making a school trip to Germany for one week." he tells me.

"yeah, sure. I'll be there at- 7pm?"
"yes." he smiles.

"Karl.." I say as i sit myself down next to him, but he stays quiet and ignores me.
"I swear- i don't like George. I said it to help him."

he doesn't say anything.

"I didn't want him to get beaten up again. I thought that if i said that i like him, my friends wouldn't to that to him again."

"looks like i was wrong.."

"you could've told me about that lie." he says, not looking at me. "I'm sorry.." i apologise "i didn't think."

"you never do." he says, "I'm really sorry Karl." i apologise again. I slowly place my arms around his stomach and lean my chin on his shoulder.

I kiss his cheek and wait for him to say something.

"maybe if it happens on the lips I'll forgive you." he says, a smile appears on my face. I turn his face around, look into his eyes and then to his lips.

I slowly place my lips on his and start to move them along with his lips. He smiles into the kiss as he slowly places his hands on my cheeks.

we break the kiss and look into each other's eyes. "you wanna come over tonight?" he asks
I stay quiet.

"Dream wanted me to come over at his place-" I say "how about tomorrow night?" he asks. "Tomorrow night sounds good." I smile as I look into his eyes.
