Jack's P.O.V

After science was morning tea. We all walked out of the science block and walked over to the Maths block hallway, where we normally spent our breaks. On the way there, we pointed out some of the classrooms we had different classes to Oscar.

As we approached the double story building, Oscar gasped.

'What?' - Me

'It's just, I'm not used to a place like this, my old school was my home, so...' - Oscar

'Oh, ok.'

We walked into the hallway and took our places in the corridor, while Oscar stood there, sort of lost.

There was a spot next to me, so I patted my hand down in the spot, indicating that Oscar should sit there. He sat down next to me, and pulled out his lunchbox. In it was a lot of healthy things. He looked around, ashamed of his food.

'My mum makes me eat healthy.'

'Ok.'

He started eating his food, and we all pulled out our muesli bars, and started eating them. Oscars eyes widened. 'Do u always eat such unhealthy things?'

'Yeah. This is what we get given by our parents. It's yum.'

'Wow...I wish my parents gave me food like that sometimes.'

'Do u always eat healthy?'

'Apart from special occasions, like birthdays and Christmas, then we get treats like cake and stuff.'

'Wow, you must be super fit.' I said, then immediately regretted it. 'I mean...you must live a super healthy life.'

What was wrong with me today? It's like since I met Oscar, I've been acting weirdly, maybe I am gay, maybe I have a crush on Oscar....no...surely not, I've never had a crush on anyone before.

'Yeah, I do, I go for a 3km run every morning and my dad does a sort of boot camp every night from 6-7.'

'Wow...that's a lot of workouts.' - Ibanez said.

'Yeah, it is, but it helps me stay in shape.'

'Ok.' I handed him a bit of my muesli bar. 'Try it.'

He took the bar from my hand and slowly put it in his mouth, almost scared to try it. He took a bite, and his face lit up. He looked over to me and smiled. 'That's so nice!'

'I know.'

'That's super amazing compared to my kale and carrot slice.'

'Eeeeew, is that what that is?' - Ibanez

'Yeah, it actually tastes pretty nice, just not as nice as that bar. I can't wait to tell my mum about it.'

'Haha, ok.' - Me

I was now trying to figure out my feelings, I wasn't sure how I felt now, I needed to talk to Ibanez, but then I would be leaving Oscar alone, not knowing anyone. I pulled out my phone and sent Ibanez a text.

Jack: Hi

Ibanez: Hey....?

Jack: I need to talk to u, but I don't know how to say it without Oscar hearing.

Ibanez: um....ok....say it here I guess...

Jack: Um....I think I might be gay.

Ibanez: That's Great! What makes u think that?

Jack: well...uh....I think I might have a crush on Oscar.

Ibanez: explain.

Jack: well ever since we met, I haven't been able to stop thinking of him, and that conversation before, Uh...now I want to see his body....topless.

Ibanez: Uh....welll...Ok....um....is he gay? Do u know?

Jack: idk if I'm allowed to say, but yes. But don't say anything, ok?

Ibanez let out a slight squeal and we both looked at her. 'You ok?'

'Yes.'

Ibanez: maybe you should talk to him about the being gay part...? U know, to see if he has any input, and....u never know, he might like u ;)

Jack: I might...but I doubt he'd like someone like me.

Ibanez: don't be so hard on yourself.

Jack: but

Ibanez: no buts.

I looked up and smiled at Oscar. He smiled back, then looked around. 'Where can I go toilet?'

'Oh, I'll show you, there's only one we can use at the school, apart from the gym toilets.'

'Ok.'

I stood up. 'You can leave your bag, we have a while before period 3.'

'Ok.' He stood up, and I walked out of the hallway, him following me closely. As we neared the toilets we ran into Jacob, Cullen and Jono.
