Callum POV

"Do you think Mason hiding something from us?" I asked Alaina over the phone. Right now I was on top of my comfy bed sprawling myself out doing nothing. Feel pissed at Mason makes me want to do nothing at all.

"He's clearly lying at us, Al. My gut tells me that he has some secret relationship with some hoes!" I tasted something bitter in my mouth when I said that to Alaina, feels annoyed at how Mason acted towards us recently.

It's been 3 weeks since Mason started to ditch us for who God knows. He said he would be busy because of his "part time job "at the Diners. Which was a lie since we'd busted him yesterday.

When Alaina and I went to eat supper at his Diners (and of course to check out Mason condition at the same time), he wasn't there. And the funny part was, when we asked one of his coworker, Cory, he said Mason never took extra shift for the last 3 weeks like he said he did.

Told you, he sucks at lying.

But that wasn't the problem. What made me pissed at him was the way he acted toward us. He wasn't only acting busy all weekends. He even dares to ditch us at lunch too. And when he do hangout with us, he was clearly busy with himself typing on his phone with "someone", all happily on his own. What a jerk.

Where's the bros before hoes, huh?

Fuck! Now I was acting like a jealous girlfriend.

I heard Alaina chuckled on the other side of the phone "Maybe he does have a relationship with someone with the way he's acting right now." Alaina agreed with me made me want to cry out of frustration.

"And it's not like there's something wrong with that since he's single. We can't possibly holding him back to get laid, aren't we Cal?" To heard this from her mouth made my heart pang.

I never told Alaina about my feeling towards Mason so I knew she didn't mean to hurt me. She did knew that I was gay but I never told her that I have a crush on Mason. Because knowing Alaina, she'd try to put us two together even though Mason was straight. And I didn't want things to become more complicated between us.

Alaina was the only one on the group who knows about my sexual orientation. I never told Mason and Dylan about it because I didn't want things to get awkward between us just because I love dicks instead of Vee-gee-gee. But to tell you the truth I never have guts to tell them. I didn't know what I'd do if they start to hate me, feeling disgusted at me just because I love men. And I didn't want it to happen especially to Mason.

Alaina was different. She was an open minded-type of girl who was very nice and understanding and she was also my childhood friend. We've been together since we were in diapers. That's why I believed in her.

I remembered the first time I came out to Alaina. She felt really happy and proud of me. She even said that she was actually knows that I was gay long before I was even aware that I was gay.

Do I look that obvious?

"You know what?" Alaina's voice startled me, snatching back my attention to her.

"I bet Mason has a good reason to hide it from us. Maybe it's something that he can't tell us yet? So let just give him some time, I know eventually he will tell us." Alaina continued. I pursed my lips, feeling like a jerk right now.

"Yeah.. you're right." I sighed at her, feeling depressed all of a sudden.

"I just.. I don't know.. feeling a little lonely I guess. You've been busy with Dylan. And now Mason too.." I heard my voice become smaller.
