{Brendon pov}

"I can't believe I almost tripped up Mr Dun thinking it was you!"
Ryan facepalmed himself while I laughed uncontrollably, because my boyfriend had tried to prank me and instead managed to prank himself. One of the many reasons I'm unbelievably in love with this boy.
But my laughter dies down when I see a flustered Patrick running towards me, with an undeniable smile on his face.

"Hey Brendon, hey Ryan!"
Patrick chirps, his mood much too enthusiastic for a Monday morning of a new school year. Something is definitely going on.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" I question suspiciously.
"Bren!" Ryan whisper shouts. "Normal people respond with hello!"
I hush Ryan and turn my attention back to a guilty faced Patrick.
"Well..." Patrick starts, a blush rising to his cheeks.
"Yes?" Ryan coaxes, obviously intrigued himself now.
"There's this boy..."
Patrick's cheeks are now a strong rosy red, and his eyes are on the floor. He's trying to hide his blush and is failing miserably.

{Patrick pov}

"A BOY?" Brendon and Ryan simultaneously squeal like teenage girls, and they are much too loud for my liking.
"Shh! Guys! Seriously!" I moan, and they both cover their mouths but I can still see them smiling. They are like my two gay dads. And best friends. something like that.

"So?? Come on patrick, tell us about him! Who is it??" Brendon says, barely managing to keep his voice at a normal volume.

"Well I kinda don't know his name"

"Patrick you slut"

"BRENDON" Ryan and I both scold. Brendon puts his hands up in mock defence and giggles, and I frown but continue.

"I just saw him outside, I was in a super bad mood walking through the car park and I looked up and saw him staring at me" 

"Aww!" Brendon and Ryan both coo, and I slap their arms to tell them to shut up.

"Well? Is he cute?"
Ryan says, asking the important questions.
I don't know how to respond, and I start to stutter, but I can feel the warmth rising to my face.
"You're blushing! He is cute!" Ryan points at me and he and Brendon start "aww"ing again.
I roll my eyes and look around to see if we have caught the eyes of any potential bullies yet. But instead, I see the gorgeous boy I met eyes with outside. He was opposite us but just a few lockers down, putting stuff into his bag. I immediately feel butterflies fill my stomach, but I quickly recover and turn back to Ryan and Brendon, who probably didn't even notice because they were too busy being assholes.

"So, when can we meet this mystery boy?" Ryan asks, and Brendon nods, both looking at me expectantly.
"Guys, I've not even met him yet!"
I laugh, and they both frown, then look at each other and slowly their faces change until they share a devilish grin.
"Well we are going to make sure that changes very soon." Brendon smiles.
"Oh yeah? And how are you going to do that?" I start off speaking confidently, but the look in their eyes has made me uneasy. What are they going to do?

"Well, judging by the way your eyes widened and your blush deepened when you looked over there, I'm guessing our mystery boy isn't that far off"
Brendon pointed to the direction of the cute mystery boy and I felt my stomach twist. They noticed. Shit.
The devilish grins were still plastered to their faces, and the two taller boys looked like they had an evil plan. Meaning I was totally screwed. And they were beginning to drag me over to the boy.

"Guys,"
I started, looking at them pleadingly.

"Guys, c'mon, don't do this"
Their evil smiles grew bigger.

"Hey Patrick, refresh my memory. How did Ryan and I meet?"
Brendon said slowly. Oh god. I hope he's not going to do what I think he's going to do.

"W-well I sort of, um, I-I kind of..."

"You shoved me into Ryan, remember?"
Brendon was smiling innocently now, and I smiled uneasily back.
"Yeah, as a joke though"

"Ooh it was a joke? Then you're going to find this hilarious"

And before I could react, Brendon and Ryan shoved me into the cute mystery boy, and I lost my footing and landed directly on top of him as we both fell to the floor.

Just perfect.
