I Like Him A Lot

Things arent going well

~Back to Luke's POV~

I don't know whether to make Alex something or buy him something for Christmas. I am very untalented, so I really have no idea what I could make him. Even if I wanted to make him something, I feel like it would just end up like shit. I knock on Emily's door, and she lets me in. She turns off her loud ass music as I sit next to her on her bed. "Ems, I'm in a bit of a pickle." I start. "Yeah, go on." She says. " Listen I have a crush on Alex and he made me that painting I showed you and everything and I just want to give him something nice for Christmas and I want it to be meaningful so I want to give him something home made but as we both know im an untalenteddelinquent." I say." Why don't you write him a poem?" She asks. I think about it but I decided that it's too cliche.  We come to the conclusion that I'll make him a box of a bunch of origami stuff, so I log onto YouTube and look up a bunch of origami tutorials. I do this all weekend, and i decide on making him flowers and paper cranes. I hope this turns out well.

~ALEX'S POV~

It's the Monday after the weekend that I told the boys about my feelings for Alex, and it's became I bit awkward with all four of us hanging out and them knowing about it. I can't even talk to Luke without stuttering, and I keep making a complete fool of myself it's almost Christmas, so hopefully, over the break, I can stop acting like a bluddering fool I am making Luke a bracelet with the fancy beads my grandma gave me for my birthday. I will put his initials, which are LMD. I hope he likes it. Luke suddenly texted me. " Alex, did I do something wrong? I feel like you are avoiding me?" He asks. Shit I made him feel like I'm avoiding him just great. I decide tell him, " No, you didn't do anything. I'm sorry if I made you feel like I'm avoiding you. That wasn't my intention." Great this whole Moday he felt like I was ignoring me I such a fucking idiot. I pull my bed covers over my head and just lie there thinking about what an idiot I am when Luke texts me. " Okay, just making sure I didn't mess something up. I'm glad we are well." I respond with a smiley face emoji, hoping not to sound dry or anything. He sends one back. I decide to send him a voice note that says" You are a great friend Luke and I didn't mean to make you feel upset or ignored I will do my best in the future to prevent that from happening." He sends me a thumbs up emoji. " It's all good." He says. I take a few deep breaths and turn off my phone to do my stupid biology homework. I'm just glad that I fixed things with Luke.
