love

this is part 2 of ' realization ' !
( takes place the night gregory realized his feelings )
( evan's point of view )

gregory's been texting me a lot more lately. i don't like texting, at all. i don't know how to type, and it's embarrassing. what if he's judging me? that would make sense as to why he's texting me so much, because the more i reply the more he makes fun of me! i shouldn't text him anymore.

EVAN 7:39 PM
i donf wann to tecty yiu anhmlw.
( i don't want to text you anymore. )

GREGORY 7:40 PM
What Why? Are you okay?

INCOMING CALL FROM:
greg 😁

i swallowed and pressed the green button to answer his call. i slowly lifted it to my ear and mumbled a small 'hello..?'.
"evan! are you okay? did i do something?" he sounded like he was panicking. why was he panicking? all i said was i didn't want to text. "um.. yeah i'm okay.. why?" i sighed. "what do you mean 'why'? you just told me you didn't want to text anymore!" i bit the inside of my cheek. i would rather go back to texting. i didn't like confrontation. "w..well because you make fun of me!" i said instantly. my eyes were already starting to well up with tears and i could feel the knot in my stomach grow bigger. i really didn't like confrontation.
"what..? evan, what are you talking about? i don't make fun of you. if i do, i'm just messing with you. did i say something that made you upset?" he replied. i could tell his voice was shaky, but why? did he not like confrontation either? "u..um.. no.. but d..don't you make fun of th..the way i type..?" i tightened my grip on the phone as i awaited his reply.
he chuckled. why did he laugh? "oh evan. i don't make fun of that, at all! i don't mind it. i mean, it's a little hard to understand sometimes.. but it's never bothered me," he paused. "i..in fact, it's kind of uh.. cute." my eyebrow rose. cute? the way i type is.. cute? wait, is this flirting? i swallowed and hung up the phone. i couldn't talk right now. i jumped out of bed and ran into elizabeth's room.
"eliz! it's an emergency!" i barged in out of breath. i wasn't very athletic, my excuse was that her room was all the way across the house. she flinched and looked at me with a confused expression. "everything's an emergency with you. what is it?" she was in the middle of filming a video. like, a tiktok i think. i clasped my hands together and sat at the edge of her bed.
"s..so, when somebody calls you 'cute'.. that's flirting, right?" i asked her, biting my lip. she quickly turned around and i swear i could see a sparkle in her eyes. "oh. my. GOSH! evan! someone called you cute? who? who was it?" she asked excitedly. "just answer the question!" "yes, it's flirting. it's absolutely flirting." i took a deep breath. "oh.. and what if it's a... um.. a boy..?" i said quieter. she blinked at me and thought for a moment.
"uhh.. a boy, huh.." i could see the excitement in her eyes dull. it scared me. "well, i'm not sure. if a boy calls a girl cute, then it's flirting. if a girl calls another girl cute, they're just being nice and supportive. but if a boy calls another boy cute..." she paused. "i actually don't know, evy. you'll have to ask him." i sighed and my shoulders sagged. "okay.." i got up and left her room, heading to mine.

once i got there, i picked up my phone and saw 12 missed calls from gregory and 29 new messages. my eyes widened and i panicked. i just hung up on him! i hung up on him, out of nowhere! sometimes i forget people can't see inside my mind... i pressed a missed call notification and it automatically called gregory. he answered immediately.
"evan! evan- i'm so sorry! i'm super sorry! i..i wasn't thinking and—" "gregory, it's fine." i reassured him. "i didn't mean to hang up. my uh.. phone.. died." wow! i came up with that on the spot! give yourself a pat on the back, ev! i could hear him sigh with relief on the other end of the line. "oh thank god. i thought you were mad at me.." i bit my lip. ask him, ev. "yeah.. uh.. about that.." i nervously said, chuckling awkwardly. "were you um.. flirting or.. something?" i can't believe that came out of my mouth so smoothly. "fl..flirting? uh— well, um," he stuttered. "w..would you uh.. want it to be..?" now the spotlight was on me. i pondered on the question for a bit. "i gotta go, um.. michael's calling me... bye, gregory. see you tomorrow." i swallowed and hung up. the question really made me think. did i want it to be flirtatious? i've never really thought of gregory that way.. did he think of me like that? i bit too hard on my lip and my tooth started to hurt, affecting my nonexistent tooth that got pulled out. i yelped in pain and held onto my cheek, running into michael's room.

"mikol! my toof! ow!" i ran in place, holding onto my cheek for dear life. michael flinched, noticing me. he sighed. "just sleep on it." "but it huwts weally bad-uh!" i complained, michael just rolled his eyes and diverted his attention back to his playstation. "don't care. bye. close the door on your way out." i sighed, why did i think michael could help? i closed the door and made my way back to my room. michael not carrying suddenly made it... not hurt so bad.

i waited at the bus stop as a nervous wreck. i was fidgeting with my hands, chewing on my nails at times. i was about to be face to face with gregory. would it be awkward? i couldn't look at him. not after last night. i took a deep breath and put in my airpod, pressing shuffle on my playlist. i began to notice the big yellow bus coming my way. i bit my lip in anticipation, i just wanted to get it out the way.
elizabeth was on the phone with someone, susie i think. she was blabbering about her new crush, giggling and moving her hand each and every way. she had a new crush every week, where i had.. nobody. nobody interested me. nobody except...
the bus stopped in front of us. i swallowed and followed after elizabeth, tightening my grip on my bag strap as i hoisted up the bus' stairs. i nervously walked down the isle, gregory's tired amber eyes and messy brown hair catching my eye immediately. i took my seat next to him, 'lovers rock' starting to play in my ear as i looked at the boy beside me.
a feeling took over me, a feeling i simply cannot describe with just words. i've never felt this feeling before. i've never thought of this feeling before. but i was feeling it. this feeling, the feeling i felt when i looked at gregory for the first time. the feeling i felt at this very moment, staring deep into his amber eyes. the weight on my shoulders vanished, my surroundings being blurred out, my focus only being on this boy. this boy who had come into the darkness of my mind and turned on a light. a very, very, bright light. a light only me and him could see. my stomach became empty, my heart starting to beat faster. i admired all of his features. my eyes travelled down to his lips, making me realize that i really wanted to kiss them. i looked back into his eyes. i shifted my body to face his, placing my hand on his, which was freely resting on the seat.

"i love you."
