The new boy

Trying to confess

It was really getting to robbie, the fact that he likes this lad but can't tell him because no ones he's gay "so what ya think" someone said bring Robbie out of his day dream "cinema on Friday? Gaz you in mate" the added shouting across to Gary who looked at Robbie, robbie had his arms on the desk with his head resting on them "I've already got plans sorry lads" Gary said making Robbie frown, he really wanted to spend time with Gary, to hear him laugh to hear him sing and talk "rob?" They asked and he just shook his head "busy" he mumbled and got up and walked away leaving everyone concerned including Gary, Robbies never like this he's always full of energy and creating bother

"Hey hey lad wait up" Gary shouted jogging after him but Robbie kept walking making Gary run faster must to his dislike "Robbie" Gary said softly reaching him and turned him around to see Robbies upset face "what's up has something happened you're not your self" he asked but Robbie stayed silent "it's...I'm ermm..fuck I don't know" Robbie said trying to find the words all he could do was get lost in Gary's eyes not making the situation any better "I can't tell you you'd hate me forever like everyone else would" Robbie said looking at the floor "hate you? God lad don't insult me!" Gary said smiling "what's so bad that no one knows"

"I'm...ya see the thing is....wow this is hard...I'm different to most boys here"

"rob you're speaking in riddles mate" Gary said with his eyebrow raised with a questioning look "fuck sake" Robbie groaned burying his head in his hands feeling like he was gonna cry "robbie just tell me I won't judge you" Gary said as he took Robbies hands away from his face as the bell went "gotta go to class" Robbie said quickly walking leaving Gary stood in the corridor "something's up with him" mark said walking towards him "yea I know but he's not gonna tell me is he? I've known him 3 days!" Gary said getting stuff out his locker "oh he'll tell me I have my ways Barlow" Mark said and smiled, he winked at him and walked away. Gary just packed his song writing book in his bag because he never pays attention in English and just writes at the back, he's now becoming worried about Robbie! What is Robbie hiding that's so bad that he can't tell him or mark?
