Changed Me ( Rewritten)

42

            When Nat and Max arrive at the house, everyone else is already there. " Finally you guys arrived " NuNew says. " Our moms are at my house. You know how they are " he says, slightly lying. Luckily they believe it. " Here's a pair of swim shorts " he says, passing the black pair to NuNew.

            " Thank you " NuNew says as they all head inside of Max's house. " Me and Poppy are already changed into our swim shorts " Zee says, letting them know. " Alright then P'Max can change in his room. While me and NuNew change in the downstairs bathroom " he says. NuNew nods in agreement with his plan.

            " Woah, hold on a second. Why are you guys going to change in the same bathroom " Zee asked, sounding a little possessive. Which only causes him to laugh. " We aren't going to look. So if you're worried about me looking at NuNew, don't be " he says teasingly as he lightly taps Zee's shoulder. " I don't like this plan either to be honest " Max says.

            " We have changed in front of each other since we were in elementary school " NuNew says, trying to persuade them. He looks between Max and Zee, noticing that NuNew only made them more possessive. " You only made them more possessive NuNew " he says, sighing in defeat.

           " Well, sucks to suck. I've known Nat longer then all of you. He's coming with me. So stop being possessive you two " NuNew says, grabbing his hand and quickly pulling him towards the bathroom. When Max goes to grab his other hand, NuNew lightly smacks it away. Only causing him to laugh as they enter the bathroom.

            He turns around so that NuNew can change into the swim shorts. " They're so possessive. I get P'Max because your his boyfriend. But I don't get Hia " NuNew says. He laughs at how oblivious NuNew is. " Isn't it obvious NuNew, he likes you " he says. NuNew taps his shoulder, letting him know that he's done changing.

            So he starts to change into his swim shorts. " It's not obvious. He's probably just looking out for Max, knowing how possessive he can get " NuNew says, denying that Zee likes him. " You guys act like you're dating. You just don't kiss or make out " he says laughing as he finishes getting changed.

            He taps NuNew on the shoulder before he get lightly hit by NuNew. " Ow what the hell was that for " he asks. " F-For mentioning something like that " NuNew stutters, clearly flustered. He smirks and says " But you do this to me. Besides, I bet when you walk out there with no top. Zee won't be able to take his eyes off of you " he says.

            He smirks when he sees that NuNew is blushing. " He probably wants to kiss you right now. To show you that your his. I mean, did you see how possessive he looked " he says teasingly. NuNew hits his shoulder. " S-Shut up " NuNew stutters before quickly leaving the bathroom, only making him laugh.

            He follows right behind him. When they reach the others he quickly wraps his arm around NuNews shoulder, preventing him from leaving his side. He wants to see just how possessive and jealous Zee can be. Max as well. " Why are you flustered " Zee quickly asks. " I-I'm not! We were just telling jokes and I was laughing " NuNew replies, slightly stuttering.

            " Right, jokes " he says, purposefully dragging out his words. So that they can easily figure out NuNew had lied. " What Jokes " Max asked. " Hmmm...what jokes did we talk about NuNew " he says, only causing NuNew to hit his arm. " You guys wouldn't understand them of we told you " NuNew says quickly .

            He smirks, NuNew is doing a pretty good job at trying to stay calm. " They wouldn't, but we were making jokes about guys " he says. NuNew lightly shoves him away. " I can't believe you're acting like this. You are so " NuNew says, pointing towards him. " What. What am I NuNew? Why can't you believe I'm acting like this " he asks, feigning innocence.

            " You say these things to me and it makes me so flustered. I don't get it. Is this how you feel every time we do it to you about P'Max. Is this some sort of payback " NuNew says quickly. He laughs, not expecting NuNew to have said that. " I do feel that way when you guys do it. As for if it's payback, I guess you can call it that " he says.

            He hasn't thought about getting payback for all the jokes NuNew made that caused him to get flustered. However, now that he has the opportunity. Why waste it. " Oh, I see " Poppy says, laughing as he catches on to what's happening. " Some people are so oblivious about things. Don't you agree P'Poppy " he asks. Poppy laughs, nodding his head.

            " I agree. That's very true. I don't know what Nat joked about to you but, I can say that it's more than likely the truth " Poppy says. " P'Poppy " NuNew shouts, embarrassed. He pulls NuNew close to him, leaning down to whisper into his ear. " NuNew trust me. He likes you. Look at how jealous he is getting by what I'm doing. He likes you. I wouldn't do that unless I was a hundred percent sure. I want you to be happy and experience what love feels like. So be brave ".

            By the time he moves away from NuNew again, Zee has become a lot more jealous. " Why are you telling secrets now " Zee questions. " You're acting more possessive then Max is being about me P'Zee " he says, laughing. He turns to look back at NuNew to see that he's extremely flustered. " I-I " NuNew stutters.

            He puts his hand on NuNew's shoulder, gently squeezing it. Trying to give him the comfort and little push that he needs to confess to Zee. He's gotten his payback. Now, he'd really like for his two best friends to confess to each other. " Things are scary but you got to trust that everything will be ok " Poppy says.

            " I'm so confused on wha- " Zee says before NuNew interrupts him and shouts " I-I like Hia Zee ". He smiles and gently pats his back. " You like me " Zee asks shocked. He laughs before he lightly shoves NuNew. Who ends up bumping into Zee. " Let's go outside and give them some time alone " he says before grabbing Max and pulling him towards the backyard. Poppy follows right behind him.

            " Now how did you plan that " Poppy asks him as they stand near the edge of the pool. " I'm curious as well. I had no idea what was happening that entire time " Max says, causing both him and Poppy to laugh. " In the bathroom, he said that Zee might just be acting possessive because he knows how P'Max can be " he says, shaking his head as he laughs.

            " You guys always make jokes about how P'Max will like me in this. Or just things that would obviously make me flustered. I did the same thing to NuNew before we left the bathroom. When we did. I wanted to see how possessive P'Max and P'Zee could be " he says. Max laughs in disbelief. I got a little payback but I also knew that this was a chance for them to confess. So I encouraged NuNew to " he says, shrugging his shoulders as if nothing really happened.
