Charlie's Pov.

I waited inside the library, sitting against the shelf as I waited for my boyfriend to show up.
"Charlie?" he whispered coming around the corner of books, I smiled standing up and waved hello,
"Hey" I grinned.
"Hey you" he smiled coming up close to me, his hand on the side of my arm,
" how was your weekend?" I asked
He shrugged
" fine, yours?"
I smiled but before I could reply, he kissed me hastily, pushing me into the shelf of books.
The bell rang for forum and he pulled away immediately.

"Oh, uhm, did you wanna come over to mine and hang out? Maybe we can like watch a movie or-"
He looked at me like I had said something off the wall.
" Charlie, no , we're a secret remember.
see you tomorrow"
And he left abruptly, looking abit annoyed.
I nodded picking my bag off the floor.

It's fine, he's probably just super busy and has like a lot on his plate..
I sighed and laughed half heartedly before walking out of the library and down the corridor quietly toward my forum,
It's my fault, I know we're a secret right now. He's just figuring himself out, that's all, he's just not ready yet. I shouldn't be putting so much pressure on him anyways.

I headed in toward forum and went to go sit next to my desk mate, Nick Nelson.
Nick was the star captain of the rugby team, and he was gorgeous. He also was friends with Ben, my boyfriend.
"Hi" he said smiling as I sat down placing my planner and pen down on my desk,
I stared at my pen in my hands, holding it with both hands .
"Charlie?" Nick said.
"Huh?" I stopped, and looked over at him,

"What's up? You seem kinda off?" He asked.

"Oh, it's nothing ..I'm just ..really tired" I faked a small laugh. He smiled abit nodding, looking forward again, I could tell he didn't believe me.

My eyes darted down to the pen again as my smile slowly faded into an expressionless face.
My forum teacher babbling on in the background. I didn't even register that he called my name for roll call, until Nick gently nudged my arm.
"Sorry, here sir"

Why am I like this?
Ben is just figuring stuff out, I'm sure he'll want to go public one day, I just need to be patient. And if he doesn't then it's fine anyway, we don't need anyone's approval to be together..
I smiled and slightly nodded, having convinced myself to stop feeling so negative.
Besides, me and Ben have been dating for 3 months now.
I'm sure he'll ask me to officially be his boyfriend when he's ready.

🍃A week later 🍃

"Do you wanna ..do stuff?" Ben asked kissing my neck, he had his hand in mine, the other slithering its way down my back. I gulped.
"Uhm, idk." I whispered.
He huffed stopping and leaned back to look at me.
"Charlie. All we've been doing is making out, you're so ..boring" he said callously.
I stared at him.
" I guess we could, since were boyfriends..I just don't want it to be at school."
I said gulping back any confidence I had left.

He looked shocked,
"What?! We're not boyfriends? Who said we were ever boyfriends?"
I stared at him, now numb.

I grabbed my bag and started to leave for forum, I knew the bell was bound to ring soon anyhow.
But his hand on my wrist stopped me.
"Charlie wait, I'm sorry, let me make it up to you" he said.
I yanked my hand away , and started for the exit of the library. The bell rang as I headed toward forum.
We're not boyfriends
Who said we were boyfriends?!

Then what the hell have we been for the last 3 months?!

I headed into class and took my usual seat, Nick was already there , doing his math homework.
I sat down quietly.
He said his usual hi, but I couldn't look at him.
I stared at my pencil case, fighting every nerve and urge I had to cry.
I Refused to let anyone here see me cry.
And if nick sees me cry he'll ask what's wrong, and if he finds out I'm dating Ben he could very well out him and I couldn't do that. .

because I went through that.

After roll call was done, I couldn't help it any longer. I raised my hand to leave for the restroom.
I headed down the corridor, my eyes watering as I hurried into the restroom, went into a stall and closed the door.
Sobbing quietly.

A moment later I heard someone enter the bathroom, and I covered my mouth.
The last thing I need is to get bullied again over crying.
It could be Harry for all I know.
Or worse, it could be Nick.
I can't let him see me like this, he's friends with Harry and Ben, and I don't want them knowing.

God.. school fucking sucks.

"Charlie?" A voice asked,
"I seen you come in here. .Are you okay?"

It was Nick. I sniffled and wiped my eyes before coming out of the stall, and went to the sink to wash my hands. He stood there surprised.
"Charlie, what's wrong? You were crying" he said.
He actually sounded really sweet and sincere, like he always does when we talk.
I sighed.
"Sorry.." I croaked.
He came over and helped wipe the tears I had missed.
"What? You have nothing to be sorry for" he said giving me a small smile,
" You wanna hang out after school again? We can talk about it and maybe watch a movie?" he smiled.

I laughed half heartedly and nodded, smiling.
"Yeah, that ..that sounds nice"
He patted my arm,
"Cool. We should probably get back to forum though" he chuckled.
I nodded,
"Yeah I guesssss.." I whined.
He laughed following me out of the restroom and down the corridor.

We went back to our usual seats next to each other,
"Oh, I'll write down my address for you" Nick said grabbing a small piece of paper, he wrote it out neatly and slid it over to me.
I blinked,
"You live right around the corner from me" I whispered.
He grinned "yep"

"Nick, Charlie .. settle down" Mr. Lange called out.
We shut up instantly, smiling anyways.

Nick is so cool, and so hot.. and so nice.
I glanced over, usually when we hang out it's always been at my house, we always play Mario Kart or watch movies, and sometimes I help him with his Maths homework.
Having kept Ben a secret from him for so long felt wrong, but I was scared to since their friends..
He was really supportive earlier though ..
maybe if I tell him..he'll keep it a secret ?


🍂 Later that day 🍂

I sat down on Nicks couch as he popped a movie in for us to watch. He sat next to me,
"Did you still wanna talk about what happened?" He asked.
I took a deep breath.
"You can't tell anyone. And you definitely can't bring it up to him"
I started off.
He nodded.
"You know your friend ..Ben?" I asked.

"He's in my friend group, yeah, what about him?"
He asked curiously.
"I've been .. dating him..secretly."
He blinked
"Oh" he said.
He was probably shocked .
"Wait ..why were you crying?" He asked, by this time his body was turned towards me, his arm resting on the back of the sofa.
I looked down at my hands, fiddling with the end of my sweater.
"Oh yeah, right, uhm, I was just kind of upset because we've been dating for like 3 months now and he doesn't wanna confirm being boyfriends, but he wanted to do stuff ..and like, I wanted to but..idk."

I felt the tears well up in my eyes again, burying my face into my hands.
"I'm sorry, i know he's your friend" I mumbled out, Nick had placed a hand on my back and was comforting me by rubbing it.
"Well, not anymore he isn't , if he hurts you again I'll kick his ass" I heard him say. I looked at him, he gave me a small smile.
I chuckled wiping my eyes,
"Thanks Nick , you're such a good friend"
