We kept running not stopping until we reached my house.I looked over at James who was having a hard time breathing. Without thinking I carried him inside.James just buried his head into my chest.I slowly felt my cheeks burn up but ignored it.I slowly put him down on the couch and sat next to him.
"I'm sorry"
"Sorry for what"
"For the dicks that were bothering you"
"Cole aren't they your friends"
I sighed jumping up to get beer from my fridge.
"NOT ANYMORE"
I yelled from across the kitchen.
I quickly sat back down in my spot next to James.
"Really"?
"Yeah,really I mean I could always get new friends"
James stayed silent for a minute before speaking.
"Must be nice"
"What"?
"Must be nice to be popular"
I looked at James before answering.
"Not really"
"What, why not"
"I don't know it just doesn't appeal to me I rather go around unnoticed and not have attention on me twenty four seven"
"Oh I've never had that problem as you can tell I'm a nerd"
"A cute one" I muttered under my breath.
"Did you just call me cute"?
I blushed a deep red realizing he heard me.Before I could respond he pecked my cheek
"Thank you"
I stared at his lips.They looked so soft. I shook my head and stared at the ground smiling. Now I had a feeling he wasn't straight.I took a long gulp of beer satisfied with its cold taste.
"Cole"
"Yeah"
"Are you straight"
I thought for a moment.
"No....you"?
"Me neither"
I felt my heart leap out of my chest when he said theses words.
"Cole"
"Yeah"
"Who do you have a crush on"?
My cheeks started to burn up again
"I-"
A knock at the door interrupted me.Sighing I got up to answer it.Fuck a perfect opportunity gone to waste.
