A romance

Chapter 1

Charlie is on his way to school. It's about 30 minutes until his first lesson starts and the way to school takes about 15 minutes. He really wants to be on time. Always. 

Charlie really doesn't enjoy being under pressure and he prefers to be in his comfort zone. Well, who doesn't? His comfort zone is just very small, and the lines are quite thick. Too thick to easily be crossed. He has been a loner his whole life. Once he wasn't that alone, because he had one friend. One dear friend. Unfortunately he committed suicide not that long ago, and Charlie is still wounded from it.

Charlie walks to his locker and places his bag in it. He's a bit tired since he started reading this new book that he really started to like and wanted to finish yesterday night. He sits down on a bench to wait for Patrick. Charlie doesn't have any other friends really, but Patrick is really more then enough, even if Charlie really is the lonely one in his class. He's okay with that, even thought people talk about it like he would be in big pain. 

Charlie and Patrick meet up during almost every break and everytime Patrick succeeds in cheering him up. Patrick is Charlies best friend. Even tough it doesn't seem like Charlie means as much to Patrick as Patrick means for him, he kind of is. Charlie thinks he is just one of all of Patricks friends, the shy one. Nothing special at all. But Patrick actually, kind of, fancies him.

When it was almost time for Charlie to go to his class, Patrick showed up. He had a lightblue pair of jeans on, with a green patterned shirt. Charming combination of clothing as always, Charlie thought to himself. Almost immediately after Patrick saw Charlie, he sat down next to him and placed his arm over his shoulders.

"Hello Charlie, what a coincidence to see you here" he says. Charlie just smiles at him, Patrick says that pretty often actually. It's cute, and fun. Although he knows that Patrick would like people to think of him more as Sexy, Seductive or Confident. Sure; he is... but he's cute too. But more charming, and well, sexy.. But I would never say that to him. Just by thinking these thoughs Charlie started to blush a bit.

"Patrick, I really have nothing to do today, and it's friday, so I just-" Charlie starts, but Patrick already starts to talk.

"You want me to take you on a date, don't you?" he smirks while he watches Charlies face turn into a more pinkish tone than before.

"I drove here, so we can go somewhere. I know this really nice place we can drive to, and on the way there we can buy something tasty. What do you say?"

Charlie just smiles and looks at Patrick.

"That sounds great Patrick, thank you"

When the school day was coming to an end, I couldn't wait to see Charlie and take him to this place. I'm usually relaxed, but I really like to impress when it comes to Charlie, or atleast that's the goal, Patrick thought to himself.
