(Please vote and show support by leaving a comment)

I got out of the house trying so hard to hide my anxiety which all disappeared at the glance of the pefectly drawn smile on Noah's face. He greeted me so nicely that I got carried away in the moment and forgot that Taylor was waiting for us in the car.

As we hopped in I greeted Taylor and glued my eyes to him, he had a really pale skin , he had thick eyebrows and barely-seen eyes, he was so skinny but the funny thing about him was his hair it was so big it didn't suit him at all but, who am I to judge right.

We drove all the way to the cafeteria and I was feeling so annoyed that I had to take the back seat I was so bugged to see Taylor and Noah smiling and giggling and all I could do was only watch and add some words because, I was in the back seat.

Suddenly Taylor playfully placed his arm on Noah's lap as I exploded with anger I felt my blood rushing through my veins as I got high on jelousy and all I thought about was withdrawing this situation but I can't, I just can't.W e finally reached the cafeteria as I exhaled so deeply in relief, we got out of the car and made our way to a table , I intentionally placed my hand into my pocket to check my phone but the my the sound of my heart beat deafened me as it crippled my ideas when I found out that I didn't bring my wallet.

I sat down so awkwardly thinking about how am I going to save myself of this situation but being so anxious caught Noah's attention so his only participation was to interfere, and make me much more anxious.

"Are you okay?" Asked Noah worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine". I lied.

"But you don't seem fine"

"I'm just.."

My tongue became paralised at the glace of the waiter coming towards us, my leg started shaking as I lifted my face with my palm trying hiding my mouth as my veiny eyes were rolling literally everywhere.

"Hello boys, what can I get you?"

"I'll have an oreo smoothie please". Ordered Noah.

"I'll have the ice castle ice cream with biscuits on top and flavoured with pistachio, dark chocolate and

stracciatella please". Ordered Taylor.

What can I say, I don't like this guy.

I was blinded by stress I didn't know what to do nor what to say and then though of leaving the waiter hanging wasn't so respectful so following the motions of my tongue all I said was "I'll have a cup of coffe please."

Noah was surprised and interrupted with : "Are you serious we're staying for long can't you order anything else?"

"No Noah it's not that I don't want to order anything yummy it's just that coffee is what I need now". I lied, one more time.

"If that's the case, then okay". Said Noah with a more settled tone.

But after all of this misunderstanding the only thing which was making me more rageful is that taylor was sitting there, just smiling, god he is making uncomfortable I want to murder him his calm only makes me more nervous.

"So Liam, said Taylor interrupting my thoughts, tell me about yourself Noah seems really interested in you."

"Hmm". Was my answer as I turned my attention towards him.

" I said tell me about.."

I wasn't concentrating on his words the only thting which was on my mind is the question of him being gay or not. Suddenly, the image of Taylor became blurry as my eyes focused on

the vision of Amy sitting in the very next table, I stood up so fast I kicked the table as napkins started flying everywhere.

"What's going on?" Asked Noah in surprise.

"I'LL BE RIGHT BACK" Said I as I rushed towards Amy happily.

"AMYYY!" I screamed.

"Liam! What a pleasant surprise."

"Amy listen I need some money to pay for what I orderd please, quickl this has ben really awkward". I interrupted her.

"What? Speak slower I didn't understand anything of what you have just said."

"I forgot my wallet, save me". Was all I said.

"Really, that's it?" She laughed. "That's the deal? You scared me, here take these and chill". She handed me some money secretly.

I really couldn't be more thankful, she's really amazing. I headed back to my table and went back

to being cool and, sane as Noah said playfully:" It is really going to take me a long time to get used to you."

I laughed back as we turned the very anxious boring reunion into a more fun one, so fun because Noah concentrated on me only, all the time.

"We have to go" Added Taylor .

"Yes it's aout time". Followed Noah.

Knowing that Noah had to leave really bothered me but happily it wasn't such big deal because Amy was sitting

right across my table and I knew that I was joining her sooner or later.

So as I approached her seat I could see her smiling and telling me "You're a life saver my friend is leaving now and you're going to keep me company."

"What can I say, I added, jinx?" I took place next to her as we kept chatting about random subjects nonstop until she suggested: "Would you like to go for a walk, sitting for too long stated to give me back ache."

"Of course, let's go."

We headed out of the cafeteria following our path home which is really relaxing as our city at night becomesway more beautiful with it's marvellously colourful lights, calm and soft breeze, But as for Amy it was an opportunity to talk about my date asking "So, you seemed pretty happy earlier, why?"

I didn't really want to get straight to the truth as I only knew Amy a few days ago so I passed it out with a unharmful lie "Of course I should be happy

Noah is my best friend and I really enjoy his company".

Unfortunately, she was smarter and stroke back at me ''Noah only?" She questionned with a flirty tone and I knew at that point that I was busted and my plan of blurring things won't work on her so I just told the truth, "Yes actually, Noah only."

the rythm of her walk slowed down as she grabbed my hand to stop me and asked again "Why Noah only, do you like him more than a friend?"

"Yes, I do" I answered with a lower tone as my features loosened up and drew an honest smile on my face.

She stared at me for long as I witnessed the width of her eyes broadening slowly in surprise ,but suddenly all of her mien transformed so quickly translating how someone haven't observed something so beautiful for a very long time, and that's when she decided to speak. "You're in love with him, you're gay."

And after all that I saw, I just wasn't afraid anymore and I just spoke the truth :" Yes I am.."

Swiftly Amy started jumping around and yelling "Wohoo! this is amazing, so amazing I just couldn't be happier I'm so proud of your honesty you're so brave plus I've always wanted to have a gay friend."

She actually doesn't know how hard it was for me but I actually was brave enough but as for our walk, it actually couldn't be any better .
