Am I really straight?

◇《 Final Chp.-12.》◇

Nate's POV.

For the rest of the class, I was trying and failing to come up with a way to escape. I'll have to face him one day so I just gave up. When the teacher dismissed us I took my time. I put everything into my bag with the utmost care and with the slowest movements possible.

After about 5 minutes of packing things away, I was done. I sighed and got as ready as one can be for rejection and about getting beaten up, I only have to avoid being hit in vital places and I will manage.

I got out into the hallway and there was Ryan leaning next to the door with a rather impatient and irritated look on his face. I do not like this. As soon as he saw me he took my wrist in a death grip and dragged me towards the rooftop. Is he going to throw me of off the roof? That sounds even worse than getting beaten up. I was praying to every fucking deity to save me.

We were at the rooftop and he was right before me looking at me unwaveringly. His face was emotionless but I wouldn't say the same about his eyes. I could see hope and confusion and a lot of other things that I didn't know where to place. For a long moment, we just stood there looking into each other eyes. His hand grasping my wrist as if it was his lifeline. Then he took a deep breath and I closed my eyes.

" Why? " He asked softly.

" Why what? " I asked hoping to escape if I pretended I didn't know what he was talking about.

" Why did you kiss me if you would just ignore me after it? " He asked with a voice filled with confusion and a hint of sadness. His hand grasped my wrist even tighter. He dropped his head like he was afraid of looking at me. I feel like it should be me feeling afraid. I did not see the reason for lying so I told him the truth. Please do not be angry with me.

" I am truly sorry for that however I do not regret it. " At this, his head snapped up and his wide eyes bored into my ones searching for the emotions in them. " I like you, Ryan, whether you like it or not. Before you beat me up or throw me off of the roof. " I started rambling. " I would like to say that I can't help feeling what I feel. I can't stop the emotions that appear whenever you are near me. " I stopped because his hand loosened its grip on my wrist and slid into my hand. He gave it a squeeze and smiled at me.

" Who said you should stop them? " He asked. His smile grew and he was now grinning at me. " I like you too. I have liked you for a long time now. That kiss was the best thing that happened to me until now. I was truly happy but then you ignored me and I didn't know what happened. "I felt relieved and the happiest I have ever been to.

Now I was smiling too. I tugged my hand out of his and hugged him as tight as I could. He hugged me back and even if we heard the bell ring we didn't pay it much attention. We were content in each other's arms and neither of us wanted it to ever end.
