You Were Mine From The Start (boyxboy)

Phase Three - Mission Complete

Charlie's POV

Waking up this morning was so much easier for some reason. It's like my body knew something big was gonna happen. I ran through my morning routine with ease and actually ate breakfast for once. Scrambled eggs and bacon are the best. I'm in my room putting the last few things I need for school in my backpack. 

I finish getting ready and grab my phone and check the time. 7:26 huh? I got loads of time. Then I remember that we never told Alex where to meet us. Hoping he hasn't left his house yet, I text him.

Hey, Alex. Meet me and Taylor in the main school entrance at 7:45 if you can.

I had to make sure he knew where to find us. He may be our friend, but he was still the new kid.

Alex: Ok I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Ok, see you in a bit.

After getting that sorted out I put on headphones, run downstairs, say a quick goodbye to my mom and head to school. 

Walking to and from school has always been some of my favorite parts of the day. I get to listen to music and warm up my voice by singing along, I get to admire my neighborhood, and sometimes there's this hot college guy who jogs shirtless in the mornings. 

Walking on the sidewalk, I notice I'm passing through Cambridge Road. I pull out my phone and text Alex.

Hey, Alex did you leave your house yet?

Alex: I'm about to. Why do you ask?

I'm walking by Cambridge Road right now, we can walk together.

Alex: Oh cool! I'll be out in a sec.

A few minutes pass, then I see a familiar brown-headed figure coming out of one of the houses.

"HEY CHARLIE!" Alex runs over to me.

"Hey Alex! So ready for your first day?" 

"Uh I hope so," he replies.

"Don't worry too much about it. You have the best guide ever remember?" 

"I don't know about the best guide..." he smirks at me.

"HEY THATS... probably true. I'm the gayest guide at least." 

He laughs, "Now that's true." 

Speaking of gay. (Gay = gbf = gbf matchmaker = GET ALEX AND TAYLOR TOGETHER)

"So Alex, what're you gonna do about Taylor?"

His cheeks start to redden. 

"What do you mean?"

"You know, you like her. She likes you. Are you gonna make your move?" 

He blushes again.

"I don't know... I don't even know what to say," he says quietly.

"Well, that's a problem! Try practicing on me." 

"Are you serious?" He chuckles.

"I'm always serious," I respond. He raises an eyebrow at me. "Come on, just try it. Pretend I'm Taylor and you're gonna ask me out." 

"Okay whether it's real Taylor or you-Taylor, that doesn't change the fact that I don't know what to say. What would you say?"

"Hmm. I'd probably pull her off to the side or bring her somewhere you two can be alone then just say what you feel, 'Taylor, I really like you and I was wondering if you'd want to go on a date with me' or something like that. It really doesn't matter what you say. You look cute when you stutter and get nervous," I wink at him playfully. "Just go for it man, she's gonna say yes."
