NICK'S POV

I walk into Mrs. Finnegan classroom and ambled towards my desk. As I was unzipping my bookbag and getting ready for reading, Raymond walks in. Raymond is one of the only besties I got because I'm ugly, short, disgusting, disgraceful, and every other negative adjective. Recently, our relationship with each other has been... questionable. Ever since I told him that I had a crush on him he's been avoiding me, he didn't even give me a yes or a no when I asked him out. Honestly I don't know where we stand as friends or as anything more. Every thing is just so complicated and confusing! Why won't he just give me an answer??! Mrs. Finnegan soon calls lines so I grab my books and prepare to leave.

RAYMOND'S POV

When I walked into the classroom, the first person I saw was Nicholas. A couple weeks ago he confessed to me and I was caught off guard by it. I wasn't gonna lie I was feeling a new connection with him but I wasn't sure if it would work out. I know he's probably a little frustrated because I didn't give him a direct answer besides, "Well um... maybe not right now but I'm up for trying to later once things aren't as-" AND because he walked away before I could finish my sentence. I didn't mean to leave him hanging but this could really affect our relationship. Mrs Finnegan calls lines and I grab my stuff and went to my spot in line.

SKIP TO LUNCH BECAUSE I'M LAZY ASF

I walk into the cafeteria hungry like the monkey I am. As I was sitting down at a table, I noticed Nick was literally across from me. I then got back up and moved to the other table.
Each time I look towards Nicholas my heart sinks. I don't wanna make things awkward but I can't just pretend nothing happened. My stomach is twisted in all sorts of ways. But as long as no one finds out about the "situation" hopefully, everything will be fine. Why can't I just open my mouth and tell him how I feel?! His smile, his eyes, his hair, his tough but ever so gentle hands , his soft lips, his scent, his body, everything is perfect. Everything besides our damn relationship. Soon class A is called to get lunch so I get up and stand in line.
I'm pretty sure he noticed that I've been taking small peeks at him. I mean can
you blame me? He's so damn hot and cute. I swear my heart beats a million times per second! You know what, fuck it. I'm gonna ask him out today. If I wait anymore I'm gonna completely lose it. As I'm getting my food I see Nick glance at me for a quick second and my face immediately turns red. He slightly chuckles at my reaction.

SKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL CUZ ONCE AGAIN I'M LAZY AF

Before I went home I decided to plan a meet up at the park tomorrow. While we were outside, I went up to Nick and I start blushing. He looks a tiny bit tense and agravated.
"So um... How you doing?" I say nervously. "Fine ig" he replies as he runs his finger through his soft dark brown hair. "Listen Raymond, what do you want?!" he says yelling at me firmly. "To give me another chance!!!" I shout while grabbing his warm hands. I stare deeply into his beautiful pecan and umbar eyes begging for him to say yes to me back. He turns his face away as if he thought that would hide how flustered he was. I tell him that we can go to the park tomorrow after school and he agrees. I ask to walk him home and gives me a hesitant but definite yes.
As I was walking him home I noticed he kept his head turned the whole time. I grabbed him by his chin and turned his face towards me. "Why are you trying to hide how cute you are?" , I said teasing him. He playfully punches me in that arm and soon we start play fighting. I accidentally trip over a crack in the ground and fall on top of him. My face becomes a tomato and my heart starts racing. I stare at his softly tinted muscular torso and get butterflies immediately. My breathing begins to get heavy. He soon pushes me away slowly also breathing heavily. "U-um..my bad bro I didn't mean to do that" I said in a shakey voice. When Nick finally recollects himself he tells me it's fine. We continue our walk in silence after that embarrassing situation. I tried to hold his hand to ease the tension but he moved it. We finally stop at our destination and say our goodbyes. He walks inside, I begin to go home.
