COURTSIDE (BoyXBoy)

Malik

It's Monday and I'm walking down the school's hallway being greeted by everyone in passing. Nothing new to me honestly as it's kinda the perks that comes with being a popular star athlete. I make my way over to my locker to see my friend Jamie standing by it. He was staring longingly in a specific direction.

"Looks like somebody is whipped." I say with a whistle but he doesn't hear me.

I follow his eye-line to see him staring in the direction of Austin and Christian then the events of Saturday came back to me.

"Dang Christian must be one hell of a kisser." I say. This time I definitely captured his attention.

"Huh what... what are you talking about?." He tried to play innocent.

"Don't play dumb with me man I caught you staring like a love sick puppy." I informed him and at that point he just gave up.

"How did this even happen I've never even considered being into boys before." He responds. If only he knew how much I could relate to that feeling.

"Was the kiss really that good?" I asked.

"I had to hide in the bathroom that night when Darren was asleep so I could jerk off without him catching me cause I couldn't get that fucking kiss outta my head." He confesses completely embarrassed.

I was shocked to say the least until I remembered I had to do the same thing when I saw Austin's wet half naked body. Safe to say I was in no position to judge.

"Dude promise you won't tell anyone." He pleaded.

"You're secret is safe with me man. It's not like I'm in any position judge or out you anyway given my situation." I said not realizing I let that last part slip out.

"Wait a minute what do you mean by that?" He inquires.

Shit!

"Oh nothing forget I said anything." I try to change the conversation, but it was too late and soon enough Jamie was dragging me into an empty classroom.

"Alright spill what's going on. I just confessed to you something totally confusing and embarrassing about me. You don't get to hide your shit from me in return that's now how friendships work." He argued.

One thing about Jamie he's gonna have a valid argument for everything, and I mean everything.

"Fuck it fine I'll tell you okay." I say and he nod's for me to go on.

"I may or may not be in the same boat as you when it comes to the whole questioning your sexuality thing." I said rubbing the back of my head.

"Oh my god I fucking knew it! I totally saw it back when we went to Stony's after we won our first match but I thought maybe I was looking too deep into it." Was the first thing he said and I was shocked how could it have been possible? I didn't even know back then.

"Oh and the way you always hated Christian despite you two having literally everything in common. It doesn't surprise me that you two are friends now by the way." He continues.

Jamie had always been an observant guy, and he was by far the smartest guy on the team, but even with that being said I did not expect him to read me like this.

"So are you going to tell him?" He's asks me taking me a bit off guard.

"Umm I don't know, I'm so worried it will fuck up our friendship." I admit.

"He's a great guy, and something tells me he feels the same way about you too." He says placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Wait I thought you thought he and Christian were dating?"
