My Other Thirds

Chapter Four (Bryson)

It was on purpose. I can't clearly remember what I was thinking, but I couldn't just keep sitting there, watching, as they stared into each other's eyes. It's pretty obvious that they're not just 'best friends' as Keyan said. An overwhelming feeling of jealousy came over me, and I needed to draw their attention away from each other. I did the first thing that came into my mind- 'accidentally' falling out of my chair. Kind of lame, but it worked. Keyan found it hilarious, Grayson helped me up, and we made light conversation for the rest of lunch. It turns out we all have the same Foods class together next Quarter- for the short amount of time I've known Keyan and Grayson, I'm way too captivated by them. It's difficult for me to understand, because I feel differently about them than anyone else, but I feel the same about both of them. It's unlike any feeling I've ever experienced, it's like I want to spend every passing moment with them both.

I'm pondering all of this as I lay in my bed, trying to fall asleep. It's already 1 am, but I can't get their faces out of my head.
