After a long period of English language, I had a free period. Luckily, I stumbled across Harry, Josh and JJ. The three of us decided to hang outside for a bit until we actually needed to come back.

Harry, who had amazingly stopped referring to college as the 'survival games', was very conflicted. He was also blowing the smoke from his cigarette into my face which was rather irritating, but that sums up him.

I meant that in the best way possible..

"So, what exactly is the issue then?" Joshua asked, impatient as Harry was blatantly struggling to put how he was feeling into a clear sentence.

Harry leaned back against the brick wall, frowning slightly as he continued to puff light cloud from his mouth.

"Uh," He started, his blue eyes staring beyond the lot of us. "I guess I'm just confused, you know?"

"Nah, fam. No one knows, literally, nobody," Jide felt it was necessary to tease.

"Fuck off," Harry chuckled, nudging JJ in his side before I pulled him back, making them stop acting like children.

"Confused about what?" I asked, tilting my head as Joshua wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Vik?"

"No, no, no, no," Harry rushed out, flicking off a few embers from his cigarette. "Not Vik. I guess it's more confusion with myself."

"Who isn't confused by you, fam," JJ commented again and snorted to his own words.

I rolled my eyes as Joshua hushed him by pressing his finger to his lips. Though JJ only chuckled more.

"I mean, you know, it's pretty clear now that I'm not straight," Harold stated rather obviously, causing Jide to shoot him a look that just screamed 'no shit'.

Joshua smirked, "Oh, really? Same bro."

I rolled my eyes. Idiot.

"No, but like, I always kind of thought that I still liked girls.. As well as boys," Harry furrowed his blonde brows as he glanced downwards, flicking his now burnt-down cigarette before stepping on it.

"And now..?" I quizzed, leaning onto Joshua's shoulder comfortably.

Harry gulped, parting his lips slightly as he was evidently struggling to find the words. "I just, don't feel the same. It's like I don't like girls at all. I'm pretty sure that I never did either, I just never knew for sure."

"Shit, man," JJ hummed, eyes widening in slight shock due to the sudden change in tone of the conversation.

"Well," I started, before clearing my throat a bit. "That's fine, Harry. Josh and I have been confused, too," I paused, "It may turn out that you are actually only into boys. Or, maybe you still are into girls and you just seem to prefer a boy's company. Take your time to figure shit out and think about it a little, just not to the point of insanity, alright?"

Harry nodded, "Yeah, yeah, thanks man." The boy then smiled, seeming a little more content about the situation after speaking with us and listening to advice.

"I'm pretty sure he is already insane, bro," JJ chuckled with his typical cackle. The comment raising a few more laughs amongst the rest of us.

"Shut up JJ, you ain't allowed to speak on the matter," Joshua teased, raising a brow towards Jide.

"Fuck off, I have a g—" Jide started.

"Gay uncle!" We all cut him off, as he always said that when we were speaking about anything like this. It was pretty funny, bless him though.
