Matt pov
Why am i so scared to talk to him? He wouldn't say anything bad. Would he? No he wouldn't he's so sweet, and kind, he wouldn't do that to someone, he'll probably just let me down easy i guess. Titan I wish I was never elected grom king, i wish he'd never asked me out. Why did grom have to do that. This is such a stupid school. Why did I have to ruin everything. My eyes began to well up and i felt the heat from tears slowly run down my face. I couldn't let the tears and the 2 and a half hours of sleep I got get to me I needed to get to school.

Gus has been avoiding me the entire day. I Guess i haven't really tried to talk to him but knowing his I feel like he would have tried to talk to me, at least a little. Not even when we sit next to each other in class. During lunch I can feel everyone's eyes on me. I hated it. I anxiously stared at the clock as the seconds went by faster knowing I'd soon have to face Gus. The bell finally screamed and I nervously walked over to the front of the school and waited on the steps for Gus. 10 minutes went by all the students were gone except for Gus who still hadn't seen. Did he stand me up. I patiently wait and take out my scroll to text him.
~Matty~
Hey where are you I've been waiting for like 10 minutes
Nothing
I wait for what feels like forever and Gus finally appears out of nowhere
"Jeez finally where we're you?" I asked him in a joking manner
"None of your business" Gus retorted "c'mon let's go"
"Where"
"Just follow me"
I follow Gus closely not knowing if I should break the silence. We end up at a nearly empty park and sit on a bench.
"Sooooo...what's up?" I asked as I feel my heart beating in my stomach
"Oh nothing I just wanted to talk" Gus said avoiding any eye contact. We both stayed silent for awhile before I eventually broke it.
"Can I just say, I'm so so incredibly sorry" he finally makes eye contact with me "I just, I really really like you, a lot, you're so kind and sweet, you're the smartest person I know and I know I treated you horribly in the past and this isn't an excuse but I just didn't know what I was feeling at the time" I stare at my shoes as I fidget with my fingers "you're my best friend and I don't want anything between us to change you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I don't want to lose you"
"Matty, you don't have to be sorry I should be sorry, I avoided you all day and didn't text you back when you were struggling with something, that's not something friends do" he took a long pause "I don't want anything to change between us either"
I stayed silent
"Matty, I- I really like you too"
My eyes widened and I turn to see a blushing Gus look away
"I didn't text you because I wanted you to know that I meant it and texting seemed to insincere" he looked at me through his eyebrows and away again
"Really?" I was shocked "you're not just messing with me right?"
"No no absolutely not" he shook his aggressively "I really really like you a lot and I don't want to lose you"
We looked at each other awhile and awkwardly smiled
"So would you maybe want to go out sometime? Not just as a friend?"
"I'd love to"
