*daniels p.o.v*
It wasn't the sun or an alarm that woke me. What woke me was movement. Opening my eyes I saw Joey's face in front of mine. His eyes were still closed and he was snoring lightly. I couldn't help but admire how cute he looked.
Wait- did I just call Joey cute? I'm not gay. I like girls. But I can't help but have feelings for the boy in front of me. This is so confusing. I can't be gay. Yet as I lay here and think about this more and more I realize that I never really felt anything. I never felt anything with girls. There wasn't a spark.
Reaching out I brushed some hair away from Joey's face. He stirred but didn't wake. Looking at my clock, I saw it was eight a.m. I couldn't remember what day of the week it was. My mind was telling me it was Friday. Checking my phone crossed my mind but I was to comfy to move.
As I adjusted my pillow Joey's eyes opened. He blinked groggily, rubbing his eyes. "What time i it?" he asked. "Never mind. I'm to sleepy." We looked at each other, holding a gaze. It wasn't awkward, it was peaceful.
Joey reached out and moved hair out of my face. "Do you wanna get out o-" before he could finish his sentence I pressed my lips against his. He was shocked at first but melted in to the kiss. We parted and froze. I can't believe I just did that.
"Uh, yeah. Let's go get breakfast." I said awkwardly. Sitting on the edge of the bed I mentally slapped myself. Way to make things awkward Daniel, I told myself. Following Joey out of my room we headed down the stairs to the kitchen.
No one was there. On the counter was a note, but that was it. The note read: Daniel, I'm sorry we left so early. Your father and I had a meeting a few towns over. I'm sure you can make something. Love, Mom ♥.
Setting the note on the counter I took the cereal out the pantry. "Is cereal okay?" I asked Joey. He nodded. Getting two bowls and the milk I let him pour his bowl first. After I had poured mine I went to eat but found I was missing something. "We need spoons. I'm an idiot." I said, putting a hand on my forehead. Joey laughed but didn't speak.
I leaned on the counter while Joey sat on one of the stools. An awkward silence settled as we ate, the only sound being the crunch of our cereal. I'm stupid for kissing him. Now things are awkward and it's my fault. We were just starting to get comfortable with each other and I had to go ruin it.
*joeys's p.o.v*
That kiss was unexpected. It felt so wrong yet so right. I can't deny that I felt those cliche "sparks" when Daniel kissed me. Why did he kiss me? For sure I thought he was straight. Am I straight. I've never had a girlfriend, but no girls have been interested in me.
I know Daniel has kissed people before but this was my first kiss. And honestly, it was a great first kiss. Yet the suddenness of the kiss made it awkward. Now there's just an awkward tension between us. When we had finished our cereal we just stayed there in silence.
"Uh, can you take me home? I'll just gather my stuff." I said. I was grateful to leave that awkwardness and just go home. Gathering up my stuff I slung my backpack over my shoulder, leaving the house. The car ride home was silent. Not even the radio was playing.
As we started to get in the rougher area I relaxed. For some reason the rougher areas make me relax. Daniel pulled in to my drive way and I got out. "Thanks." I said, waving as I walked up to my house. Taking my keys out I unlocked the door. My house was eerily quiet. That meant I was the only one home. And honestly, I don't mind being alone. I need some alone time.
For a few hours I just laid on the couch, staring at the ceiling. I dozed on and off but didn't move. The quiet and peace calmed me. I needed time to think. Time to think about my mom, to think about Daniel's kiss.
But peace can't last forever. My phone went off, scaring me. Looking at my phone I saw a text from David, asking if I want to go to the skate park. I do need some time out so I told him I would meet him there.
Trudging up the stairs I just put on black skinny jeans, a graphic tee and my ratty vans. Running a hand through my hair I grabbed my phone and skateboard. I almost left without my keys. After making sure I had those I headed off to the skate park.
~~~
The skate-park wasn't that busy. It was me, David, and some other people I don't know. When David saw me he ran to me. "Dude, I saw you in Daniel Preda's car. What's with that? I thought you hated each other."
"Oh, uh..." I trailed, "Just for a project." I lied. David gave me a I-don't-believe-you look but let it slide. "Now come on, let's skate. There's something I really wanna try." And without looking back I headed towards the half-pipe.
What a perfect way to distract myself.
