Joe Sugg was your average student at school. The massive stacks of papers stuffed in a poor bag that can barely hold them. A mountain of textbooks that constantly fall out of the ridiculously small locker, stubbing any toe that wasn't protected or didn't happen to get out of the way quick enough. His grades were average with about half A's and half B's. He had friends, a sister who was insanley popular, pretty, and smart Zoë Sugg. He also had a crush. Ever since they met in primary school Joe fell in love with the one and only famous Caspar Lee. Though he doens't admit it, always playing it cool. His mind drifted off. If anyone ever found out Joe was gay the whole school would be in shock. He wasn't afraid of the stupid idiots who would make fun of him for it, but instead he feared how they would treat his sister Zoë, and worst of all he hated his reaction to the acceptance. He feared the pressure of knowing that in each person's mind, they were secretly thinking he was a freak. The lies, it would make him burst.

He snapped from his train of thought just in time to see Caspar pass by and enter the classroom, Joe quickly following behing. First period was English. He sat behind Caspar, which was absolute torture some days. He would sometime think of witty lyrics to mentally show his feelings to himself. So close together, yet So far apart. It was slighly ironic seeing as how he was in English class as he had these thoughts. He parted his eyes from the blonde boys head of hair long enough to overhear his teacher speak of a writing assignment, due tomorrow. Joe started on the assingment, stealing a quick glance at the bolnde boys head of hair every so often. AS the bell was about to ring, the teacher spoke of something called peer editing. After English, school flew by quickly, and Joe soon found himself laying on his comfy bed.

After about 10 minutes of laying down, checking twitter, Joe stepped out into the hallway, looking for any signs of life. When he saw the coast was clear, he closed his door and laid back on his bed, reaching underneath it to grab a journal. The booklet had a large label on it, saying "Private. If found return immediatley and no looking." He opened the book and inside were pages filled with small doodles and lots of writing. Mainly about his love for Caspar. He flips to an empty section and starts writing. "I Struggle to contain, the love that's in my veins, and how it circulates." He continues on for another thirty minutes or so when, right as he was about to put it back under his bed, Zoë walks in. Joe, not having enough time to put the book under his bed in time stuffs it in the poor school bag.

Zoë "What was that?"

Joe "What was what? Oh you mean the journal. That's w-well ummm... my english assignment."

Zoë "Really oh can i read it?"

Joe "NO! I mean umm... its not finished yet."

Zoë "Uh-huh. Well dinners ready so come on down."

He walks out his room, Zoë's eyes following him the whole way down the stairs. He felt like daggers were literally stabbing the back of his head. He eats dinner with his parents and then heads off to bed. When he wakes in the morning, he takes a quick shower, combing his hair afterwards. When he arrives at school, he heads to his locker, once again dealing with school stuff. He notices Caspar and sees it as a signal that english is starting. As he walkis throught the door he is confronted by his teacher, holding out a plastic basket with stacks of journals in it. Joe quickly reaches into his bag, grabbing his journal, not wanting to waste a single second of staring at Caspar.

He sits down and falls into a trance, not noticing his teacher placing another student journal on his desk. When he finally looks at it, he stares wide eyed as he reads the pretty hand writing telling the name Caspar Lee. He slowly flips to the assignment, savoring every second of this chance. He finally reaches the assignment anf looks at it with a confused look. He reads the story over and over, only to find that the errors are so severe, a 4th grader would be ashamed. He looked at Caspar disappointedly, when he starts hearing a small boy in the back corner burst out laughing. Joe turned towards the boys direction but then quickly returns to Caspar's journal. The boy that was laughing before was now taking selfies, obviously not caring the teacher was glaring at him the entire time.

When the bell rings Joe returns the journal to the basket and heads into the hallway. He starts walking to hisa next class when he notices it was really quiet and clear. He turns to the sides and sees all the student either glaring, laughing, or giving sympathetic looks to him. Joe, clearly understanding something was wrong, began running down the hallways, trying to escape the looks when he is caught. He looks up to see Zoë crying. She pulls his hand and takes him to the girls bathroom. A few giggles bursted when they saw this. Zoë pulls Joe into a deep hug.

Zoë "Why didn't you tell me?" Tears streaming down her face.

Joe "Tell you what? And why is everyone staring at me?"

Zoë stared at Joe, opening her mouth to formulate word but to no avail. After a minute she pulls out her phone, pulling up Instagram, showing Joe the new post. Pictures of his love in his veins for Caspar Lee. Joe too began crying, falling to his knees as he reads the last few pages. Zoë kneels down hugging him, rubbing circles on his back to sooth him. Slowly his harsh sobs quieted to small wimpers as Zoë pulls him quickly to the nurses office. He lays down on one of the beds in the back room as he hears Zoë speak to the nurse. He turns to see another kid on another bed. Joe turns on the light and freezes, Caspar Lee facing him, crying.

Joe walks over and starts apologizing when Caspar interupts him.

Caspar "Do you r-r-really l-love me?"

Joe " What!?"

Caspar "Do you really love me?"

Joe sat in silence for a second, thinking.

* The truth is out, no stopping now, I'm getting closer, I've had enough, undress my love, I'm coming over.

He finally speaks.

Joe " If you could take my pulse right now it would feel just like a sledgehammer and if you could feel my heart beat now it would hit you like a sledgehammer."

Caspar leans over and grabs the stethascope that "Just happened" to be lying by. He pressed it against Joe's heart, receiving a small gasp, with wide eyes. He then reaches over and places the earplugs in Joe's ears. Joe looks confused and soon meets the blonde boys eyes and... smiling face, as Caspar places the other end on his heart. It felt like a Sledgehammer. But the kiss that was placed on Joe lips felt like cotton candy clouds. Soft and Sweet.
