You're My Reason Why (Boyxboy) #Wattys2016

Chapter Eleven

(Eric's pov)

I walked out of the bathroom with Ricky and he took my hand in his. I smiled at the feeling of finally having someone who cares other than my family. I squeezed his hand and he smiled at me. "I'm glad you're not afraid of showing people we're dating," Ricky said.

"Why would I? I don't give a fuck what people think."

"True, I just didn't know if you wanted people to know you're gay," he said.

"Woah, back up there. Who said I was gay?" I asked.

"Um, you are dating a guy. . ."

"That doesn't make me gay, I don't know what I am. I've never been attracted to boys or girls. You're really the only person I'm attracted to," I said.

"That makes me feel special."

I chuckled and said, "Good, because you are." He smiled and we walked down the hall hand in hand. We saw some students with looks of shock on their faces. "Let's stop at my locker so I can get my books." Ricky nodded and when we got to the hall with my locker in it I saw my people standing there. They looked up at Ricky and I and then looked at our hands. We walked to them and I let go of his hand to open my locker.

"Erm, Eric?" Alec said.

"What?" I asked.

"I thought you hated him?" Lloyd said.

"The feelings I thought were hate actually were feelings of attraction," I said and shrugged.

"Well, I'm happy for you!" Monica said.

"Thanks, I guess," I said and grabbed my books. I grabbed Ricky's hand again and said, "Wel, see you later I guess." I still don't consider them my friends.

"We have to stop by my locker upstairs, too," Ricky said. I nodded and we walked upstairs and I saw Ricky's friends standing near his locker talking. The girl that I think is named May looked at us and put her hand over her mouth and started fan-girling. The two guys looked at her confused and she pointed to us. I saw Ricky shake his head and chuckle.

"Holy crap!" the two guys said at the same time when they saw us.

Ricky pulled me to his locker and May said, "You look so cute together!"

I blushed and one of the guys said, "Calm down, May. Give them some space." May pouted and Ricky shook his head at her, chuckling.

"Thanks, May," Ricky said.

May winked at him and said, "Anytime, babe." I tightened my hand around Ricky's and I suddenly felt kind of mad. Am I jealous of May? I know I shouldn't be because Ricky is gay and would never date her. I just don't like her flirting, even if it is just playful.

I guess Ricky noticed me glaring at the ground because he said, "Well, we better get to class, see you later, Calvin and Damian. Bye, May." He pulled me down the hall and we went into the classroom. "Eric?" Ricky said as we sat down.

"Yes?" I said, trying to calm down.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked.

"No," I said.

"Are you mad a May?" I nodded and he sighed. "She was just playing around."

"I know, but I just don't like it. Next time she does it I'm going to ask her to stop," I said.

"Okay, just don't be mean about it. She's a very sweet girl."

"I won't," I said. The teacher came in and started to take roll. I took my glasses off and rubbed my eyes. It's been a long day. I put my glasses back on and started listening to the teacher.
