Russian Roulette (Royce)

Let's Just Talk

::Jacob's P.O.V::

When Chresanto walked into chemistry, I sat up a little straighter. Our eyes met and he smiled at me. I smiled back. He sat down and pulled out his notebook. He got caught up in what we were doing, I couldn't stop sneaking glances at him. Concentrate on your work, Jacob. I sighed lightly before copying down some notes. 

Minutes later the teacher said she had some papers that she needed to turn into the office, I guess it couldn't wait because she told us to finish up our notes and then she left. I had already finished mine, so I was just sitting there; so was Chresanto. I watched as he ripped a piece of paper out of his notebook, he scribbled something on it and crumpled it up. He suddenly turned and looked at me. My cheeks burned and I felt stupid for staring so damn hard. 

He smiled then, he squinted his eyes a little as he leaned back in his chair and threw the paper ball across the room. He had good aim because it landed right in front of me. I stared at the paper ball for a second and looked up and pointed to myself, "me?" I mouthed. I watched him laugh a little and he nodded, I smiled and uncrumpled the paper. 

Hi.

It was such a simple word, but it could start so many different conversations that I think I wanted to have with him. 

Hi. I wrote back. I crumpled the paper back up and I sent it flying back over to him. 

The last fifteen minutes of class consisted of this one paper ball being thrown back and forth between me and him. I felt like it was something you'd see in a movie.

>>*<<

When the bell rang, I stood up and placed my book in my bag. I suddenly saw the same paper ball land inside my bookbag. "You wanna keep it?" I looked up and over and saw Chresanto looking at me, a smile on his face. "Sure, why not" I replied, I zipped up my back and let it rest on my shoulders. "What class do you have next?" He asked to me, "AP history" I answered as I walked out of the room with him, "what about you?". "Spanish 2" he replied, "the class is kicking my ass" he added lightly.

I nudged him, "I could help you" "really?" I nodded, "yeah, I know some Spanish". "Oh, okay, thanks" "no problem" "hey, do you have early or late lunch?" "I've got early" "oh, me too". I suddenly felt someone's arm on my shoulder, "well I see you two have started talkin'". It was Elijah, "yeah" I said, I noticed he had his arm on Chresanto's shoulder too. 

"So Chres, about yesterday, you know, when you told me about your possible cru-" "Elijah" Chresanto said, I looked at the two. "Do you remember what I told you?" Elijah continued, I looked at Chresanto and he looked at me. "I don't know what he's talking about" he said, his cheeks were a light shade of red. "Sure you do, it was just yesterday! Could you give me another hint? The other one didn't help, I saw a lot of people yesterday" Elijah stated. Chresanto looked down and sighed lightly, "not right now, I promise I will later, okay?" "Okay". I was curious now. Why couldn't he give Elijah a hint now? What was holding him back? Was it me?

::Chresanto's P.O.V::

"I've gotta go" I said to Jacob, he had a tiny smile on his face. "Okay" he replied, "see you at lunch?" I nodded and said "yeah". I pulled Elijah off with me, "what in the hell is wrong with you?" I asked as I looked at him. "Uh... Nothing, what's wrong with you?" He gave me a confused look, "how come you didn't wanna talk about your crush?" I looked at him. His eyes grew big and a look of realization washed over his confused one, "it's Jacob isn't it!?"

I looked past his shoulder and saw Jacob look over at the sound of his name. "Could you be any louder!?" I asked as I looked back at Elijah. "Oh, sorry, so, like, what are you?" He asked, "what? What do you mean?" "Like, what's your sexual orientation? I mean, you don't have to tell me, I was just wondering. There's nothing wrong with liking the same sex or anything" "oh, um, I don't know? Bi-Sexual? I still like girls, it's just.... Jacob's different".

"You should tell'em" Elijah said as we walked down the wall. "I can't, what if he doesn't like me back?" "Well there's no way of knowing if you don't tell him, Chres". "How do you tell someone that you like them though?" Elijah shrugged, "just tell them, that's what I do. I just walk up to them and say the words 'I like you'".

Yeaaah, it's really short, I didn't really know what to write, but I guess it could be considered a filler or somethin' like that?
Sorry for any mistakes.
Love,
