Where it Begins (Boy x Boy)

Callum POV

"How're things going between you and Eli?" Alaina asked, wiggling her eyebrows. Like a broken record she keep asking me the same question since several days ago. It was about fifteen times already in total. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Good. And if you ask me one more time if we want to date or not then the answer was still the same, which is a no. We're only friends, Al." I shrugged her off.

I walked to my locker to put some stuff before P.E Class started. We'd just finished our Calculus class together and now she was following me.

Just be patient Callum. She will go to her class within this minute. Just ignore her until she leave.

"And why's that? Eli's hot and awesome. Why won't you date him?"

"If I were gay and didn't have Dylan, I will date him."

"I don't get what's your reason, Cal? He's clearly likes you."

She was bombarding me with questions and reasons, kept pestering me with the same thing all over again. I really want to slap her mouth with a duct tape.

"Do I have to repeat myself all over again so it'll get through to your thick skull? What language do I need to speak to you so you can understand what I said? Me & Eli are just a FUCKING FRIENDS. MI AMIGO. Got it?" I snapped. "Yes. He was indeed nice and awesome and hot just like you said, but so what? Eli doesn't look at me in that kind of way, so neither do I." I hissed whispered at her getting annoyed by how she acted.

What with straight people demanding that their gay friends need to date to each other just because they were gay? Fuck! Thankfully there weren't many people in the corridor. It would be the dead of me if a rumor start circulated about me being gay within this school just because of this stupid conversation.

Alaina huffed at me. She puckered her lips keeping her silence, which I bet, would be last only for a minute. I could see in her eyes that's she wasn't satisfied with my answer. She wasn't given up yet.

"Ok. Whatever you say Callum. I let you go for today, but doesn't mean I've give up on you and Eli." She scurried off immediately after I shoot a dagger at her. Damn bitch. Fangirl much? I sighed frustrated.

It had been tree days after the house party. After my little incident with Eli at the kitchen, Eli drove me home. I'd texted Alaina that I went home first with Eli and gave her a white lie reason so i couldn't go back with her. The truth was because I don't want Alaina and Dylan knows that I was crying. I couldn't hide it because my eyes were red and puffy. It would be bad if they'd misunderstood and think that Eli were the one who made me cried instead of Mason.

While he dropped me in front my house, we'd exchanged phone numbers. Since then we keep texting to each other, though mostly it was Eli who usually texted me first. I think he was worried about me. Eli was gentle and caring person. And he knew that both of us had been hurts because of similar reasons, so it was normal that we'd became close in no time. I think we were just licking at our each other wounds, nothing more and nothing less. I didn't know why, but I couldn't see Eli's as my potential lover. Maybe because my heart still attached on Mason?

I dumped my entire heavy textbook inside the locker and took my P.E. Cloth and important stuff to bring it to the lockers room. I was almost late for my class because of Alaina. All the other students had gone there first before me. Mason, Dylan and Connor would also join P.E. too aside from the seniors.

Mason.

It'd been a while since the last time I saw him. We only has one class together, which was P.E, so it was rare to meet him beside lunchtime; which he didn't bother to show up either now days; and in the corridors when we were sometimes passed by to each other in the morning or noon though only for a brief moment. It wasn't enough for me. I feel like I lost my best friend, my crush, someone who I loved dearly.
