The Streets Of New York - Unfinished

As long As He Smiles - Chapter 22

Evan POV

I paced back and forward in the bathroom. I was feeling SO guilty. All this time I thought Jonathan was weak, too kind, and just annoying. I never wanted to see who he really was until awhile ago.

I kissed him TWICE WITHOUT EVEN GETTING TO KNOW HIM. Ugh, I'm such a playboy. I mentally face palmed. I punched the titled wall of the bathroom. How could I make it up to him?

I thought a bit, I slumped down the wall with a sigh. "UGGGGH!" I yelled out. "Yo! Stop making so much noise, I got a headache!" Tyler complained. He walked in and slumped down next to me.

"What's up?" He asked. "Ugh. I messed up." I responded. "With what? What you do this time?" He smirked. I looked him in the eyes. "I need to make it up to Jon.. But I don't know how.." He didn't ask me what I did. He just sighed and answered.

"I can tell you care for him," He started. "How about you go out with him.. or-" 

"THAT'S BRILLIANT!" I jumped up and scared him. "I'll ask him to go out to the mall, or to an ice cream place." Anything, I just want to get to know him, for him. I thanked Tyler for the idea and I left the bathroom.

I walked through the halls of the high school. I never cared about my grades, even though my "rich" parents wanted me to have a good education. But they're too busy to even notice I don't even go to my classes anymore.

I shock my head. I was getting off topic. My main focus was-

I bumped into a small figure. They went flying to the ground, while I kept my ground. I looked down to see a groaning Jon-

"Jonathan!" I yelled out, that was easier than expect. I helped him back onto his feet. He brushed off his jeans he would always wear. Once he finished he looked up at me, my heart skipped a beat once those electric eyes looked into mine.

"Hey Evan! Why you in a rush?" He smiled happily to me. It hasn't been awkward between us, not even after those kisses... I don't even know what I was doing back then...

"O-oh.. Nothing! What are you doing?" He looked at me confused. "To class..? That's what we do here at school?" I blushed more, not knowing I was blushing before. "Hey.. are you feeling alright? You're looking pretty red..-"

"I-I'm fine! I was just going to look for you.. to ask you a question.." He tilted his head slightly. Why is he so adorable. "I-I just noticed that I don't know you as much as I want too... So I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime.. When ever you're free of course! Uhhh, hahah.." I started to laugh awkwardly towards the end. I was so nervous, and that's not really like me.

"Hmm?" He first said then he processed what I just asked. He began to blush as well. He looked to the floor with his hands behind his back. He moved his feet embarrassingly. "Umm, well, I'm free today?" He looked back at me. I nodded my head rapidly.

"Today is good!" I smiled toothy at him, he did the same. The bell rung through out the halls. "W-well.. I gotta go, I know you won't be coming to class so I'll see you-" He started to walk off but I stopped him.

"No!" I grabbed a hold of his wrist. He turned his head back to me. "A-actually, I want to go to class today.." He looked at me weirdly, because I never go to class, just hang outside with the guys. But today I want too.

Maybe it's the fact that I feel ungrateful, because Jonathan had to live on the street, and now he's finally granted to go to school. He's always so happy to go to school, to meet new friends, learn knew things, get good grades... that kind of stuff. And it makes him happy. Luke, doesn't go to class. He sneaks off to work, he never tells Jon that but he does. He only comes back for lunch and gym.

"Really?!" He said very excitedly. "Yeah, sure." I respond. "Great!" He tighten my grip on him by grabbing onto my arm. He than began to run off into the direction of our class. He was giggling happily and I just smiled at the sight from behind.

As long as he smiles, I'm happy by doing anything.
