Jamie had long been struggling to make the choice between two people. Was it going to be Kayden, who had always been nice to him, or Damian, who had been after him for a much longer time?

The poor boy had decided to settle and not make a decision for the time being, and he wanted to focus on schoolwork and friendships more. 

His maths grades had seen a very positive improvement after he cut down on his bad habits, and he wasn't about to stop there. 

Eventually, he had finally made it to an average score, one that could just barely be considered acceptable when you have Asian parents.

Kayden, on the other hand, was excelling in maths. 

He had gotten straight A's for half a semester before his grades started to dip thanks to his breakup, which made him somewhat emotionally vulnerable and swept him off the top of the class leaderboard. 

And even by the time his mind had recovered, his maths grades had not.

Being in the same maths class as Jamie was a huge gain for Jamie initially; he was able to receive plenty of free help with homework, and the two had grown to become better friends who would always have each other's backs. 

But then, Kayden came out of the closet, and then he was no longer giving proper maths help or the answers to the homework questions.

Instead, he had begun flirting with Jamie, perhaps just because of a deficiency of attention after his breakup. 

Well, that was until Kayden started sending him the most obvious hints that a person could ever think of. Obvious hints that he was interested in a relationship.

Jamie was gay. This was common knowledge within the grade, and he had been very open about it despite never telling anyone that he was gay officially; he only hinted to it. 

When Kayden started sending him literal hints, he understood them almost immediately. But the truth is, he didn't want to date Kayden at that point of his life. 

Partially it was because he didn't want to be in an active relationship, but most significantly it was because he knew that Kayden wasn't the only boy who was after him.

Damian was the kind of person that scared him. 

Of course, that didn't mean that Jamie didn't consider dating him, it was just that there were just some bizarre qualities about him which really puzzled Jamie. 

Damian had been after him for a while, at least a year and a half, but there was just something that had always made Jamie hesitate when it came to having a relationship with him.

Still, Jamie didn't pick Kayden, despite just how much it seemed that Kayden was into him. 

He told himself this was because of schoolwork and math; of course, this was false, and he knew it himself.

 In reality, Jamie was just too much of a coward to go through the humiliation of being in a relationship, and a homosexual one.

He didn't want to be rejected by others for his relationship, and he had no idea how he was going to tell everything to his parents. 

Even if he got into a relationship, he thought, he was going to have to keep it a secret...

One day in early November, after leaving class, Jamie opened his phone to see a notification for a text message. 

It was Kayden, as expected, desperately again trying to make a move. And in his flirty monologue, he suggested one thing: "I should buy you a box of chocolates from the Dandy-Cram stalls"
