We relate to one another.

Gregory's POV

There is so many possibilities how this can go it makes me so nervous how things will turn out. Dante may not even like me the way I like him. Ever since he first came to school I've been secretly watching him for the longest time and even plotting with family and friends just know about him better.

Allan, Chandler, and Sylvester all joined in just to help me know him better. Allan, my first friend told me how Dante reacted with the whole gay thing when he first came to school. Then Chandler invited him over to our house so he can know him a lot better. Me sitting around observing the situation unfold right before me.

At the end of the day, I have a good idea that Dante may be bisexual. I would hope he'd be, because I'm bisexual as well.

I sat in my room with Chandler, the two of us sat there talking about a random show we saw last night. As we talked, a car door could be heard shutting from the outside.

Here he comes Gregory. Don't rush into things okay bro. If you guys wanna play Minecraft I'm in the room.

Chandler left my room to head to his own. Leaving me nervous as ever because for the second time I'll be alone with Dante Steppeson. Except he knows I have a huge crush on him that's been there since the beginning.

"Gregory! Dante is here! I'll bring him upstairs." My dad said from downstairs. Great, I'm not even fully dressed yet all I have on are my black gym shorts and red T-shirt. There is no time sadly so he'll just have to see me in this. He should not mind it, not like I'm bare naked.

A knock on my door made me turn around. Standing in the frame was my dad, Dante right behind him. "Have fun you two," dad said before he walked away. Dante walked in slowly, the only sounds were his crutches clicking every time he took a step forward. "Hi," he was the first to speak.

"Hi," I replied back, "take a seat."

He did as I told, his eyes scanned my room while I just stared at him doing it. It was indeed his first time being in the structure of my room since he's only seen Chandler's room. "Really awesome room you got here." He commented.

"Thanks," I said with a genuine smile. "So, what do you wanna do? You gotta have something in mind."

"I honestly don't know, I'm a little shy right now." His face grew a bit red after he said what he said. Ugh, I should've known this would have went south. He obviously thinks I'm a freak after he found out about my crush on him. "You hate me don't you?" I whispered.
