Welcome To My World

VIII- Eight Grade

Almost two months had passed since Charles discovered that I pretended to be Mary.
And in this particular night, I fell asleep at 2:30 a.m. and had an anxiety attack. All this because when I woke up, summer would be over and I would go to school. And there was one particular person that I was afraid to see: Charles.
One week after our talk, I started trying to forget him, but some days later, I had a breakdown, and in the rest of the vacations, I said that I loved him at least 20 times. But I wasn't the only one that was afraid of seeing someone. Harry was afraid of seeing Alfred.
One thing that I forgot to mention about the summer camp that me and my friends went to: Alfred and Jack discovered that Harry loved me, so he was afraid that Alfred would make fun of him.
But back to the story, I woke up at 7:00 a.m. and went to school in a stinky bus that my mother paid for. When I got there, the first person I saw was Brian, so I talked to him. When the bell rang, we went to class and I saw Charles, leaning against the wall. It seemed that he was looking at us...at me. I sat on the chair next to Brian.
"You haven't forgotten him yet, haven't you?"
"What? I have!"
"You know that you can't lie to me, don't you?"
"Ok, I haven't forgotten him...but I'm trying! Maybe if I just don't talk to him, I'll..."
"Daniel and Brian, be quiet" said the teacher. At least she remembered my name. One of them even thought that I was a new student at school.
My plan to avoid Charles didn't work. Well, it was me that ruined it so it was ok. Me and the gang were chatting and then I saw Charles, sitting alone.
"Daniel, stop being a coward and go talk to him. He's your friend, you can't ignore him forever."
I started walking faster, then I ran to him. I thought that we needed to talk about what happened during summer,but I ended up asking what he did during it, besides our problems.
I lunched with Harry. Things were normal between us, and he kept avoiding Alfred. I said that he couldn't run forever, but he didn't listen to me. The rest of the day was normal.
In the second and third days of school nothing happened. The only things I said to Jack were "Hello" and "Goodbye". "Maybe you were just friends because you both weren't fine and had a lot of problems. Now he's dating Connor and it's everything fine. Maybe you won't talk anymore. No, that's not true, I'm just being stupid. He's your best friend, you won't stop talking to each other." Yep, that's what I thought.
I had lunch with Alfred, and I asked him if he remembered what me and Jane told him about Harry. He didn't seem to remember, so that was great.
"Daniel, I didn't want to talk about this, but I almost accepted your offer."
"Oh, yeah, that offer. That was stupid, I'm stupid."
"If we were in the same city in summer, I would've accept it."
"Yeah but we weren't. Oh, I've finished my food, see you later."
I got out of the table and started looking for Harry.
"Harry, he doesn't remember!" I said when I found him.
"What're you talking about?"
"Alfred doesn't remember that you like me. By the way...there's something I need to tell you."
"What?"
"Remember when I had that breakdown and started to obsess over Charles even more?"
"Yes."
"Well... I thought that if I slept with someone else I would forget him, so..."
"You and Alfred had sex!? You lost your virginity to him?"
"Of course not. But I made him a dirty offer."
"And why did he say?"
"He said that he had to think, but we were too far away from each other."
"Does anyone know this?"
"No, just the three of us, I think. I have to go, I don't want to be late for class. See you later."
So, what did you think of the chapter? I think I'm almost catching up to them. Check out Harry's POV, by guiest88 and Jack's POV, by Nottrashattal.
