chapter 10

"Hey you," Mikaela smiles when she sees me approach the benches, "How's day two so far?"

"So far?" I say the minute I sit down, "Honestly? Weird."

"How so?" Mikaela asks, eyebrows furrowed and arms crossed on the table.

"I..." I stammer for a moment. For some reason, repeating Harry's words and happened just moments ago, felt strange to admit.

It's almost as if I couldn't repeat such... words. And I didn't want to give misinformation or misconstrue what he could have meant. I could have misinterpreted it, or even misheard him. There's no possible way Harry could have possibly accused me of being the reason for his.. morning wood? Nope. That can't be it.. right?

"I don't know," I drag out, slowly shrugging as I look off in wonder in front of me. I was gonna tell her, but I just didn't know how to start. "Kae, is it possible to get aroused by someone you despise?"

Mikaela raises her eyebrows in curiosity and I mentally prayed to God she wasn't thinking that I had a sudden attraction towards him or that I had some lustful thoughts of him.

"Whoa," She says, looking shocked and taken back by my words, "Ray, have you and Harry-"

"God, no!" I shout, scrunching my face and ignoring the looks I was getting from people at my sudden outburst, "I don't mean me."

"Then what? Did you get mini Harry to stand up or something?" Mikaela snickers, wiggling her eyebrows as I shove her shoulder from across the table.

"I mean," I stammer for a moment, "I think so?" Mikaela's eyes bulge out of their socket at my words, and before she's given a chance to make a remark, I cut her off, "At least, that's what I got from what he said to me."

"What do you mean? What'd he say?" She asks, eyes wide and lips parted as she waits for me to speak.

"Well, okay," I sigh before I go on, "Long-story-short, I pointed out how his little friend from down under was clearly happy this morning. And then he goes, Oh, I wonder who made that happen," I say lowly, trying to mock him, "So it just got me thinking. It was weird, overall."

"So you basically got him hard-"

"That's what it seems, but I could have misinterpreted it!" I point a finger at her, just to keep her from jumping to conclusions. "I, on the other hand, am not sure how to feel about it."

"How did you react?" She asks conspicuously.

"Honestly?" I ask rhetorically as she nods, "I froze. Like I said, I could have misinterpreted it."

"Well, why don't you ask him?" Mikaela suggests as if it were no big deal. I mean, it's not. But I just don't know how to approach the... situation. I guess I could call it that. Uncomfortable is how I felt about it, basically! At first, though. Now I'm just unsure...

"Oh, yeah," I say sarcastically as I pretend to be just dandy about it, "Because I'm just gonna go up to him like, "Oh, hey! Harry was I the one who gave you a boner this morning? Just wondering, it's not like I wanna sleep with you or anything-"

"Do you?" Mikaela asks suddenly.

I'm left speechless. The word No was dying to come out, but it just wouldn't. I'm stammering and I don't know why. Do I wanna sleep with him? Wait, no. What the hell? Am I really questioning this!?

"I- I don't know- I just-"

"Oh my god," Mikaela's lips part in shock as she immediately covers her mouth with her hand, whispering to me, "Ray... Do you?"
