Hidden (Peterick)

Pete's POV
"What's your name?" I say at a lame attempt to start a conversation.

"Patrick." he said reaching his hand out to shake my hand. I was kinda taken back because no one really does that. "Patrick Stump." he said again still his hand reached out. I finally shook his hand. Patrick Stump had a different appearance. He was wearing a button down shirt with black skinny jeans and a fedora.

"My names Pete. Pete Wentz" I told him.
"Metallica?" He said looking at down at my shirt.
"Yeah. Fedora? I asked.
"Yeah." he laughed and I though I saw blush creep up on his cheeks but I don't know.

"HELLO CLASS HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND!" the teacher yelled enthusiastically coming in through the door making Patrick jump. I laughed. Making Patrick embarrassed. I don't know why he'd be so embarrassed.
The bell rang and I asked Patrick if he wanted me to take him to his next class.

"Sure that'd be nice." He smiled at me.
His smile was nice. So was his fedora, and button down. His face was nice too. But I'm not gay. I smiled back at him.

"You're smile is nice." he told me. Uhm was he being straightforward with me? Is he gay? Does he like me or is this just how friends acted at his last school?

"Thanks. So is yours." I didn't want him to think I was rude but I hope he doesn't take it the wrong way even though if he took it the wrong way he'd actually be taking it the right way because I actually do like his smile because it's super cute. But I'm not gay.
He started blushing really bad and I was really confused because I just met him how could he like me. If he like me I don't know that I just kinda hope he does. But I'm not gay.

So I took him to his next class and asked when he had lunch. He had lunch the same time I did so I asked if he wanted to eat with me and my friends. Who is really just Brendon, Gerard, and Frank. Gerard and Frank are best friends and so are Brendon and I so we kinda just merged together into a group last year. After I asked him he smiled and said that would be awesome and that he'd see me there.

I don't know what I think about Patrick yet. I just think that he's really nice and I would love to become friends.

I went to all my other classes before lunch and not a lot happened except Brendon and I got yelled at for making slime in chemistry and putting it on our teachers desk as a four days left of school gift. So I was walking to my locker to get money so we could go out for lunch at McDonald's or something and I realized my locker is two down from Patrick's because I saw him getting his lunch.

"Hey Patrick!" I said going over by him. He looked surprised but then he smiled. God his smile his gorgeous. But I'm not gay and I don't like him like that or anything. "You don't need that we're going out."

"Okay. I'll grab my money then." he said.

"You don't need that either. It's on me." I told him. I'm just trying to be nice it's not like I like him or anything.

"Oh no you don't have to." he said stuttering a bit.

"No I don't have to, I want to." I told him. So I grabbed his hand, that's not gay, and pulled him outside to Brendon's car to find Brendon and Ryan, and Gerard and Frank waiting for me.

"Who's that?" Gerard said wiggling his eyebrows. I didn't notice I was still holding his hand so I dropped it.

"This is Patrick. Patrick Stump. He's new." I told them.

"Well get in the car Patrick! We're gonna go to Taco Bell for this special occasion!" Brendon said getting in the car. Everyone else followed. You might be asking how seven guys fit in a car.

Well Ryan sat in the front with Brendon and Frank, Gerard, Patrick and I were crammed in the back with no seat belts, but Brendon's back seat doesn't have seat belts anyway because he ripped them out because it's too uncomfortable having sex with them in the way, they were the ones that only go around your waist. He had a very junky car.

I was honestly fine with being so crammed because that meant Patrick was sitting almost on top of me. It was really awkward for him but not for me I kinda enjoyed it. But I'm not gay though, okay maybe I like Patrick a little. He's been really nice so far and he's really cute. But I'm kinda mad at myself because how can I tell myself I like someone when I just met them a couple hours ago. I just have a feeling Patrick and I were meant to be friends, we were meant to have met. I don't know but I have a feeling. Actually I know we were meant to be friends. Its just maybe we are meant to be more than friends.

But I can't date him anyways. Shawn would kill me. My friends and I like to call him Mr. Homophobe. He won't let Brendon come over because he's gay. But he doesn't know Gerard is pansexual and  Frank is gay. He doesn't  let me have them over anyway so it wouldn't matter anyway I guess.

I looked over at Patrick. He was looking out the window but I could see him blushing because his ears got red.

"Patrick? Are you alright?" I asked him. Which made everyone look at us.
"Yeah I'm fine." he said looking at me and stuttering.
"Patrick," Brendon said laughing, "you're blushing really bad."
"Oh" Patrick said grabbing his cheeks and looking out the window again.

I don't know what made me do this but I grabbed Patrick's hand trying to make him feel better. Even though I knew it was probably because he was sitting on me is why he's blushing.

Patrick looked at me and smiled and let me hold his hand. Which made me smile because his smile is contagious. Which made him smile even more.

Frank eventually noticed we were still smiling at each other. And he said "You guys gonna kiss or?"

Which made Patrick almost blow up. "No why would I kiss him I just met him four hours ago!"
