Just a small disclosure, I'm from England so most of the language and schooling will be based on what I know and my everyday life, because I know no other way of doing the things that I write about. In case you don't understand, just comment and I'll explain! xx

Ever since yesterday I've been getting a whole lot of love. You know, just a bit more than the usual.

I close my locker and lean against it. I feel a tap on my shoulder making me turn around.

"Hi Cole." Nicole greets me.

Nicole is a girl in my year, not to sound rude but she's not very popular. Not many people know of her and unfortunately no one has the time to even acknowledge anyone like her. Yes, she's on the chubby side. But she's cute.

"Hey Nicole!" I say happily. "What's up?"

"I just wanted to say well done for what you did yesterday. You made me feel accepted. Remember when Madison kicked me, in the girls loo? You know, the day that everyone--"

"Found out you were gay." I finish her sentence.

"Erm, yeah. I thought everyone found me disgusting, but you obviously don't. So that's good." She laughs.

"Yeah, Nicole. It shouldn't phase anyone. You're an amazing girl who just so happens to catch feelings for people like you." I smile.

"You're a great guy, Cole. I hope you find someone who can make you happy."

The bell rings and she waves at me. "I've got to go, but thanks again!" She walks away and I stay standing. I've got a free period so I begin to think about what I should do.

"Cole! Cole! Co-"

"--I can hear you!" I call, looking behind me at whoever was calling for me.

Uriah.

"Oh, er hiya." Why am I nervous? God, Cole - man up!

"Hey! I have a free period and I don't know what to do so I was wondering if you wanted to chill?"

"Yeah, i guess that'd be okay."

I start walking towards the study area, like the chill zone kinda thing, as Uriah starts talking again.

"You know, yesterday was great. Thanks for sticking up for me - I was buzzin'! Like oh my god! A fit boy like you defending me!? Crazy!" He laughs.

Blood rushes to my cheeks as I hear his words.

He must of realised what he said because he has the same shocked expression planted on his face. "No I mean, you aren't -"

I raise an eyebrow.

"No, you are fit but like I wouldn't shag you or anything. I'd probably just--"

"-- just stop, Uriah." I laugh.

We sit at an empty table. A whole hour to pass with a complete stranger.

"So, Cole. Who's your best friend?" Uriah asks.

"Oh, I dunno to be fair. I've known my friend Jackson since like day one, so.."
