"Hey Oli there's something I have to tell you..."

My voice trailed off as I looked at the familiar face of Oli. I could still remember the day we met, Oli looked a lot different then, younger but less confident. Joe had introduced us, of course and we have grown closer (and more popular) ever since. A lump rose in my throat as I pictured Joe.

Joe. He most likely hasn't thought about me all day. Not now that he has Marcus. I don't know what it is about that guy but he made me uneasy. Something about that stupid dimpled smile and washboard abs. You know, the kind that were visible through the thin cotton shirts he wore. Fuck he was attractive. Asshole.

"Well, are you coming in or not Caspar?" Oli asked, his head tilting to one side.

"Uh, no that's not a good idea. I just have to tell you something real quick."

"Um okay bro, shoot."

"I know this is random but ever since we've met I have thought you were cute. As we got closer I realized that, maybe, I have fallen for you."

Oli's eyebrows became furrowed but there was no other emotion. I started to panic. Who just stands there like a complete BELL END while someone confesses their feelings to them?

"I know the feelings aren't mutual because you like girls, I just thought you should know." A weight lifted off my chest.

I became aware that I had been standing on his doorstep for an embarrassing amount of time. My uber just waiting for me, idling in the background.

"Uh.. I guess I should go."

"What the flip are you on about Caspar? Is this some kind of prank? Where's the cameras?"

My heart sunk, what a love confession. He didn't even believe me. Even though I knew he wasn't going to get down on one knee and propose, I thought he would at least be sympathetic. Or even angry, I could have handled angry.

"Are you serious? This has been eating me alive for ages and you think this is a joke. Don't be a dick Oli."

"Aw man Cas I'm sorry."

Oli reached out to rub my shoulder but I pulled away. My eyes brimmed with tears. To fill the awkward silence I cleared my throat. So much for Zoe's advice.

"I'm sorry but I can't believe this, you and Joe have been a 'thing' since you met. There's no denying it. Soulmates or whatever."

That was the last straw. I pulled the door shut in Oli's face and stormed off. Why does everyone think Joe and I are together? Why does he ruin everything?!
