Pov: Jack

I was first to arrive at Rian's house. He had told me to ring twice, so he knew it was me and not a murderer. He had also told us that his parents were on a business trip and he didn't want his parents to find a dead Rian Dawson in their house when they came back.

So I rang twice, and he opened the door, greeted me friendly and led me into his rather big house. His family seemed wealthy.

„And this room is my music room. Take a seat if you want, and maybe unpack your guitar", Rian said. His so called music room was a big room with blue and white walls, a few posters of blink-182, Green Day and some other bands. His drum kit was set up in here, and he had a few amps in his room.

„Since when have you been playing drums?", I asked Rian curiously.

„Literally since I can hold drum sticks", was his simple answer. I gave him a little laugh. Then we fell into an awkward silence while I was frantically searching for a topic we could talk about. Fu..., I mean frick, sorry, I couldn't think of anything interesting. Luckily, the doorbell rang, breaking our uncomfortable silence.

„I'll get it", Rian said an headed downstairs. I followed him, suddenly feeling a little shy and insecure. What if they didn't like me? Or if Alex thinks I'm useless? I hated the part of me that always made me feel like shit. My mom told me not to listen to that voice because it would only ruin me, and I was an awesome son to her. That's why I tried to replace those negative thoughts with postitive emotions. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice Alex entering the house. He was standing right next to me with a grin on his face.

„Are you dreaming, or what?", he laughed.

I had to giggle, and it sounded like a fucking teenage girl on her first date.

„Yeah... I was just thinking", I managed to answer. He raised his right hand and stroked my cheek.

„You know, you're really cute when you're so caught up in your thoughts", Alex said, lowering his voice with every word.

Oh my frick, I'm dying. What do I answer now?

„No Homo though!", he added.

I laughed. Even though I secretly wanted all the homo, I thought he was being hilariously funny. At last, Zack arrived.

After listening to a few songs, we agreed on playing "first date" by Blink-182. That song was one of my favourite by Blink, and it was also quite popular, so people would find ir more catchy. We haven't yet agreed on a band name, but according to Alex, there were more important things than a silly band name.

During the practice I couldn't stop staring at Alex. God, he was the literal definition of beautiful, and he also had an awesome voice. After band practice, we went back home together, and I tried to make a somewhat nice conversation.

„Alex, your voice is really nice", I complimented him, trying to sound as less gay as humanly possible.

„Thanks Jack. And you're really good at playing the guitar. How long have you been playing?", he asked.

„Uh, about 4 years", I said. To be honest, I really don't remember when I started playing.

Since Alex lived closer to Rian than me, we had reached his house very soon.

We stood near his house, none of us actually saying anything. We were just plainly staring at eachother in ear-deafening silence, searching for the words to say.

„So I guess... bye... until tomorrow?", Alex rambled.

„Yeah, bye Alex", I said.

We smiled at eachother. God, he is beautiful. After a quick thought, I gave him a tight hug. He seemed surprised, but he hugged me back.

„No Homo", I whispered and pulled away.

Before anything awkward could happen, I exclaimed: „Okay, gotta go! I'll see ya tomorrow at school!" and walked away very fast so he didn't see the blush that had crept unto my face. I said no homo even though I actually secretly wanted all the homo, and we treated eachother as good mates even though my hormonal teenage mind was fantasizing 24 / 7 about banging him.

After I reached home, I rang Hayley.

„Hi Jack!", she chirped in her joyful voice.

„Hi Hayles", I responded.

I wanted to tell her about my crush on Alex, but now I was hesistating.

„Jack, are you fine?", she asked.

„Hayley, I need to tell you something", I said, in a serious tone.

I had to get those Alex - feeling off my chest, and it would be the least awkward to tell them to Hayley - she was very supportive, and if she could like boys, why couldn't I?

„What?", she asked.

„You know this Alex guy in our class? I really like him and he is Mr No Homo"

Now it was out. I told my feelings to someone that wasn't my diary. What would ahe say?

„Oh my God! If he would like boys too you would be the absolute OTP!", she squealed.

Thank God she doesn't hate me now.

„What is an ohteepee?", I asked.

„One True Pairing"

We both talked about her cover band with weird-eyebrows Lynn and Justin Hills. Even though she was technically speaking my competitor, it didn't feel like that. Even if her band wins and we don't, I'm sure as hell gonna be happy for her and I'm not gonna hold any grudges.

After I had ended the phone call, I finished my homework and played guitar for a little while, until my mom called me for dinner. As I went to bed, I fantasized about Alex until I eventually fell asleep.
