'Vik, Simon, I think JJ wanted you to do something. He's in his bedroom.' Josh said, making a point of looking directly at Simon and nodding slightly.
Vik sighed, and he followed Simon up the stairs.
'What's going on?' Josh asked abruptly, turning to look at me.
'I don't know, man.' I knew Josh was gay, or bi, or something along those lines- despite how hard he tried to keep his relationship with Simon a secret- but I didn't know if I could trust myself to say anything.
'It's Vik, isn't it.'
I looked away, clenching my jaw.
'Harry, we know that it must be... difficult, now that you and the Cals have to stay here, but we thought you would be happy to stay with Vik.'
'What?' I realised when I spoke that I may have reacted too fast- but I couldn't help it. The way Josh said it meant must have suspected something.
'Do you like him?'
'Of course I like him. He's one of my best friends.'
'And there's the problem.'
I paused, a rabbit in headlights, before I grabbed my phone from the table and walked quickly towards the door.
'Leave it, Josh.' I said dejectedly, as I stormed back up the stairs.
