Hopelessly in Love

Chapter 2: Ricky

Joeys POV

This class is taking way too long , I didn't care about how this year we were going to write Biographies, all I cared about was getting to see Shane.

After what seemed like an eternity, the bell rang and I saw Shane waiting for me while on his phone, It took him a second but as soon as he noticed me he put his phone away and walked over.

Shane: Hey Newbie, sorry I forgot to tell you the Creative writing teacher lets you out late. But we have Biology next and he lets us out five minutes early, so lets go

He walks away and I can't help but take a second to stare at his perfect body, I snap out of it and run over to him.

Joey: Shane! Can I ask you something

Shane: Yeah sure go ahead!

He smiled and his dimples showed which are adorable! I was about to ask him if he remembered me and was trying to say it but couldn't. I decided to ask him something totally different, I don't know why I can't ask him about us but I just can't.

Joey: do you mind if I sit with you at lunch.

Shane: I don't think the guys will mind, that is of coarse if you don't mind siting by the bleacher, it's a football thing. You play sports?

Joey: Nah, I don't care for them.

Shane: I get that, besides its better if you sit with us, nothing against the girls. I love Lisa and Ingrid's awesome but people might think you're gay or something. I know I said to sit with them earlier but I changed my mind. I'm. Just looking out for you. And for the gay thing, if people think you're gay, That's sadly not a good thing for people to think around here

I can't tell him I'm gay or that I love him now! But wait he said "sadly" maybe he wouldn't care.

Joey: Would that be so bad if I was gay?

Shane: To me? Nah that's totally cool as long as you're being you, to the guys and well most of the student body, yeah kinda. Sorry

He had a sympathetic look on his face I have to tell him! Oh I've got it, tell him I'm gay. I'm met a kid when I was 10. Fell in love and if he remembers and loves me great. If he doesn't thats okay too but if he doesn't love me back, I'll have to deal with it.

Shane's POV

I don't what it is about this New Kid Joey, I feel like I know him. Well he does remind me Ricky. Kind, caring, funny and cute. I have to admit Joey was cute. But I've always had a thing for Ricky. Ever since grade 4 we've been friends but he won't talk to me ever since I joined and became "leader" of the group. Everyone else besides me, Connor and Luke were assholes and I wish Ricky could see that and fall as deep in love as I am with him. If that even makes sense. But of coarse he just assumes I'm a jerk like the rest of the guys.

Stop shane, 1. Ricky hates you 2. He's not even gay why think about him.

We got to biology and our teacher is doing nothing as always.

Joey: Wanna hear a story since we aren't gonna learn

Shane: I don't see why not

I acted too interested my eyes wide and my hands on my chin Joey laughed and I sat back up ready for the story.

Joey: Well first you should know I'm gay.

Shane: Oh! So that's why you asked before. Just don't tell a lot of people unless you want everyone to tease you. Now on with the story.

Joey: okay, okay! So when I was about 10 this boy visited Boston for a month and we spent the whole month together, I fell In love with him.

Shane: wow, that's amazing. To find someone you love at such a young age! You still love him?

Joey: Yeah, I wish I knew if he felt the same

I can't believe this kid is so honest. Me being the total opposite, I could only tell Luke my secrets, we've been friends the longest and he doesn't judge

Shane: Have you seen him since then?

Joey: Yeah

Lucky. I wish Ricky would talk to me, maybe if we were friends he'd fall for me

Shane: Why don't you ask him if he feels the same way

Joeys POV

I think Shane remembers me he just told me to ask him, well he told me to ask the guy but I'm going for it anyway

Joey: Shane, do you love me

Shane: Oh...wait now I remember you! I knew you were familiar but I thought that was because you reminded me of Ricky. But I'm sorry Joey I don't really feel the same.

I'm crushed. Absolutely crushed.

Joey: Oh, Sorry I said anything.

Shane: No no, Joey it's cool. I get how you feel. Trust me.

What the hell does he mean

Joey: Wait what?

Shane: I'm gay, and I love someone I can't have either.

Well that's awesome that he's gay so I have a chance for the future but of coarse he loves someone else.

Joey: Who?

Shane: You've met Ricky right?

HIM, wow I have to talk to him on the bus everyday. Great just great

Joey: Yeah

I practically mumbled

Shane: Don't be jealous, Ricky hates me

How could anyone hate his perfect being

Joey: Not possible, you're perfect.

He blushed, I want lying

Shane: He does, after I became leader of the guys he hated me. And newbie you have a lot to learn about me before you call me prefect.

Shane's POV

How is an Abused, Anorexic kid who self harms perfect. Damn he has a lot to learn.

______________________________________

Who would've guessed Shane like Ricky? Not me! I kinda just came up with it. And Joey and Shane will get together I promise. I just love the idea of Joey desperately in love and it not being mutual. But only for a little bit. Don't ask why because I don't know. Anyone

I love you xx
