CHAP 2🌸

Kylle Winston or known as the 'Clever boy' in the campus, the most popular guy in school to be honest.He's amazing. I love him since the first time I glance at him.I want him to be mine. I want to cuddle, I want to kiss, I want to do all of that,and shower him love.But so many women are on him, so I know to myself that I do not have a chance on winning his heart.

Obviously, I'm gay.But I wonder if he ever thought about being—Ugh nevermind.

Anyways,I didn't expect him to came up to me in our P.E. class,my heart rate quickened.Yeah obviously , it's my crush. "Uhh, hi." I said, staring up at the slim,tall figure.

'Finally!He noticed me!!'

"Hello,uhm did you see my water bottle?"Oh my goodness,his voice is so mesmerizing,I could listen to it all day.

'Ugh fuck me already,hehe just kidding'

I nodded, trying to hide my nervousness. "Um, yeah, I think I saw it near the bleachers after gym class. I didn't touch it though, promise."

I couldn't believe I was speaking so casually with Kylle. Usually, our interactions were limited to fleeting smiles and shy waves. This was more...personal. My palms felt sweaty and I shifted my weight, hoping he wouldn't notice how flustered I was getting. "Do you want me to grab it for you?" I asked, trying to sound helpful rather than desperate.

"Sure, I'll be waiting here"He smiled!he smiled at me!,does this mean he likes me too?wait wait,no I'm just assuming things, remembering that I still have to grab his water bottle.

I hurried off towards the bleachers, my heart pounding in my chest. Part of me wondered why I was doing this - helping Kylle, of all people. It wasn't like we were friends or anything. But then again, who wouldn't want to please their crush?

Definitely not me.

As I retrieved his forgotten water bottle, I couldn't help but steal a glance at Kylle sitting there, looking effortlessly cool and confident. He really was amazing. And probably completely out of my league.

I returned, holding out the bottle with a nervous smile. "Here you go," I said, trying to sound normal despite the butterflies in my stomach. "All yours."

"Thanks,I really appreciate it"He mumbles and reached out to grab it from me, making our fingers brush against each other.

A jolt ran through me at the brief touch of his hand against mine. I quickly pulled back, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks. "No problem," I mumbled, averting my gaze.

I couldn't believe how close I'd gotten to him. The warmth of his skin lingered on my palm, making me acutely aware of my own trembling fingers. What was wrong with me? I needed to calm down before I embarrassed myself further.

"So, um, everything's okay?" I asked, forcing a casual tone. "You seemed a bit upset about losing your water bottle earlier."

"ohh nothing,just stressing out earlier since I got very thirsty hehe..but thanks again"He chuckles and grab something inside his pocket,to my surprise it was a homemade sweet candies and it seems like.. he's offering me to get some??

I blinked in surprise at the offer, not expecting such a thoughtful gesture from  Kylle. "Oh, wow, thank you!" I said, genuinely touched. "That's really nice of you."

Yeah really nice!!Oh my gosh, it's making me fall harder..Stop.

I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should accept. But what was the harm in taking a small candy from him? It wasn't like it would change anything between us, but it was a kind act that warmed my heart.

I nodded, smiling shyly. "Sure, I'd like one. Thank you again." As I accepted the proffered treat, our fingers brushed together once more. I quickly retreated, not wanting to make a big deal out of something so simple. Still, I couldn't deny the thrill that went through me at the contact.

He pat the space next to him gesturing me to take a sit,of course me being me sat down besides him as I savor the sweet candy into my mouth. It was delicious, with a hint of citrus that made my tongue tingle pleasantly. I chewed slowly, savoring the flavor.

We sat in comfortable silence for a moment, watching the other students file past on their way to the locker rooms. It was a rare quiet moment between us, free from the usual chatter and noise of the school hallway.

Finally, I broke the silence, my voice barely above a whisper. "Kylle... Can I ask you something?" I hesitated, unsure if I should press on. But something compelled me to take this chance, to see if there might be a glimmer of understanding between us. "Do you ever... wonder about things being different, between us?"

He open up his mouth to respond, making me feel slightly nervous and averting my gaze from him...

"I would really appreciate it,if we became friends!!"

My breath caught as Kylle's arm wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer. His warm, solid presence enveloped me, making my heart race.

Oh my!! He's so close to me as hell!!I feel like he's going to kiss me—just kidding hehe.

Friends, he said. Of course, friends. That's all I could ever hope for, right? A connection, a bond, without the pressure of romantic expectations. It was a kind and generous offer, one that filled me with gratitude.

But as Kylle leaned in, his face inches from mine, I couldn't help but notice the softness of his eyes, the gentle curve of his lips. In that moment, it felt like more than friendship was possible, if only we dared to explore it.

I swallowed hard, my throat tight with emotion. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice trembling slightly. "That means a lot to me."

As Kylle smiled at me, I found myself smiling back, a real, genuine smile that had been absent from my face for far too long. Maybe, just maybe, this was the start of something special.

Yeah, assuming things again Seb.

"Anyways,I gotta go"He got up to leave but before that I blushed furiously since he playfully pinch and kiss my cheeks,and he even gave me his number making me look at him mixed with surprised and flustered face,my mind reeling from the sudden turn of events.

Kylle was giving me his number? Was this a sign that he felt the same way, even if he didn't quite acknowledge it?

I fumbled for my phone, heart pounding as I quickly scribbled down his digits. "Okay, thanks," I managed to stammer out, still trying to process this unexpected development.

As Kylle walked away, I watched him go, a mix of emotions swirling inside me. Excitement, nervousness, hope. What did this mean for us? For our friendship, for whatever potential lay hidden beneath the surface?

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the uncertain path ahead. But for now, I just smiled to myself, feeling lighter than I had in months. Maybe, just maybe, things were finally starting to look up.
