Misunderstand (Boy X Boy)

episode 2

Mattheo was making fun of zack; "Dude, how did you slip in the shower and punch the bathroom wall?"

Zack had injured his hand because he punched the ground during his conversation with Theo the day before, and he found this as an excuse and wished that everything that happened yesterday was a dream or a nightmare.

On his way to class, he froze when he saw Alice and Theo coming down the stairs together.

The two were talking and seemed very relaxed, Mattheo talk; "hey, what are you two doing together, when did you get so close?"

Alice panicked; "N-No, there is no such thing, we just met on the way to class!"

Mattheo grinned; "But talking in such a panic makes this situation more suspicious, or... Are you dating?"

Alice was shaking and speaking in panic; "Nothing like that! I-I" Alice ran away

Zack hit Mattheo's arm; "Do you seriously have to embarrass her like that, idiot?!"

He followed Alice and found her sitting on the stairs leading to the garden, with her head on her knees, hiding her face: "Hey Alice, are you okay, I was worried when you suddenly ran away."

Alice raised her head; "I was so embarrassed, I mean, being in front of him and hearing this."

Zack sat next to him; "Don't worry, he didn't understand anything, but I think you should talk to him to put an end to misunderstandings. I mean, can't you tell him your feelings?"

Alice sighed; "But it's very difficult and I'm very shy, especially when it comes to talking to people."

While Zack was watching him, Alice asked curiously: "So, how were things like, were you able to open up to the person you liked?"

Zack looked away; "No, not yet, but." Zack looked into Alice's eyes and wanted to tell her.

But before Zack could speak, Alice put her hand on his shoulder and said; "So, we are both in the same place in this business, so let's help each other, okay"I will do everything to help and support you."

Zack remained silent and smiled slightly; "Yes, I will do everything I can to help you."

Alice smiled; "Thank you so much Zack, I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful friend like you by my side."

Alice was happy and that was enough for Zack, maybe he wouldn't be able to be with her and maybe he wouldn't be able to have her as more than a friend, but he wanted to see her happy no matter what and maybe that was enough for him.

After saying goodbye to Alice, Zack went to the stairs and entered the classroom before everyone else... He didn't look up from his desk until the teacher entered the classroom, he didn't want to talk to anyone...

The teacher start but Zack couldn't focus on the lesson. He was thinking about what he could do to help Alice.

He opened his notebook, took his pen and started writing down his thoughts.
;"I like Alice... Alice likes Theo...And Theo-"

Zack was still feeling weird about his conversation with Theo yesterday, this was the first time someone had said something like that to him.

Zack...He didn't know how he would bring Alice and Theo together, but he would find a way and put aside the pain of love for Alice's happiness.

...
That day, the whole class was going to stay in class after lesson's. Zack knew that it was because of the upcoming spring Festival.

Every year, the school would organize a theater play, musical entertainment or film and then perform it on stage in front of everyone.
