The Boy With Weak Legs (Short Story)

Chapter 12: Tell Me More

I like you and you like me. Tell me a bit more.

(Dante's POV)

Boy oh boy was yesterday some day! Is there a repeat button I don't know about any chance? It was clear as day that we liked each other. So, what was next? I'm kind of new to this sort of thing. I mean, I rarely seen the outside world besides watching TV. Furthest I use to venture out was to the grocery store and that took months of convincing.

MONTHS OF FREAKING CONVINCING!

I really need to get outside more.

So, what's next? Do we ride off into the sunset in a chariot with horses pulling us across a yellow bricked road? Or be rescued from a tall castle while a dragon guards it? Okay, this is exactly what I mean when I need to get outside more. I'm believeing in fairy tales now and I'm quite positive that isn't healthy. At all.

Today was a good day for me. It was Friday and not only that but I'm not going to school today! Me and my parents were heading to sea world today. I know, "why would some loser like me want to go to sea world?" Well, I'm not loser and theme parks are a lot of fun so why not give it a shot? Better than dealing with the bollocks in school. And uh... Guess who my parents invited? None other than Gregory himself. They also invited Chandler and the rest of the family. But Chandler didn't want to go and their parents had work so Gregory was the only available choice.

I'm not complaining about it. I am actually happy about it. Possibly we can share another kiss? Just one more? I just don't want my parents finding out about it that's all. Sure, they know about me being... Yea that. But! How will they react when they see their fifteen year old son locking lips with another boy? I hate to say this but homeschooling may be enforced this time. Those books are already giving me goosebumps!

"Dante," Gregory called out to me from beside me. "Check this out." He raised his phone so I could look at it. It was an Instagram photo of me and Gregory walking together through school. Surprisely, the comments were actually joyful and praised us.

"True love looks like this."

"Their ship has sailed."

"I love them!"

"These guys are soooo made for each other!"

I couldn't help but smile at how happy everyone was for us. "Kind of messed up they just threw us out there like that but I'm not complaining. I love it."

"What are you two mumbling on about back there?" Mum asked curiously. "I heard something about throwing you two out there. Who needs to die?"

I playfully rolled my eyes, "no one. It's nothing." I reassured.

Eventually, we arrived at sea world and were already walking in the resort. I wasn't really a fan of getting on rides after watching some final destination recently. I seriously don't wanna test if death is out to get me. So I'll stick to watching whales jump out of the water and manatees eating cabbage. Mum and Dad left us be and I must say that makes me happy. It shows that they trust Gregory with me. Of course, I needed to call in every thirty minutes. It was five minutes but somehow pushed it to thirty minutes. How The hell would I even be able to call her every five minutes anyway? Is she gonna seriously answer the phone on a roller coaster accelerating at over 100 mph? Wait, this is mum I'm talking about here. Knowing her, she'd manage to get an answer out.
