~Why the moon shines~
Chapter 2
After the bell rang everybody walked out of class Michael was the last one out. Ben waited for Michael and walked next to him.
"Hey Michael! Ready for study hall?" Ben said excitingly.
"Yeah, i guess." Michael tried to play his feelings off to seem he was calm but inside he was frightened. Michael had never felt this way about anyone, especially a boy. Not even Jennifer made him feel such comfort and heartfelt. Michael was scared if his newfound emotions he didn't want to tell anyone either. His reasons being that he did it want his parents to find out, he wasn't sure if he was bisexual or just clinging to the next person who seemed would make him feel better after his breakup, and everyone in school would judge him. The boys continued walking to class until they reached their room.
"Want to sit next to me Michael? Theres no seating chart." Ben said happily unknowing of Michaels feelings.
"Sure."He walked over to Benjamin's table and sat down. "So Ben, no one else sits with you?"
"Yeah, I'm a loner with basically no friends, i have you, my dog, Jason, and Jennifer." Ben said smiling.
"Oh. Pretty cool" Michael noticed two things about Benjamin's sentence one being that he said Michael first, second that he was friends with Jennifer. Michael didn't stress it everyone knew Jennifer and Michael were broken up but it didn't bother Michael coming from Ben.
"Jennifer and i broke up this morning I'm pretty bummed but ill get over it soon i guess, how is she?"Michael said sadly but cooly
"Jennifer well shes alright but uh if i tell you don't get peed at me ok?"
"Tell me what?" Michael said nervously.
"Jennifer is with some new guy now and shes pretty happy. Im sorry Michael."
"Oh no its fine i mean i kinda like someone but i don't know if i should wait before i speak. You catch my drift?"
"Yeah, you don't want to make it seem like you didn't care but its alright." Benjamin smiled and handed Michael his phone.
"Wh-wha...?" Michael said confused
"Put your number in so we can talk, text, send nudes. Just kidding" Benjamin and Michael laughed in unison "maybe but we can text and talk if that's ok with you Michael."
"It sure is." Michael willingly entered his number into Benjamin's phone and handed it back. "Text me so i have your number, Ben" Michael smiles trying not to seem desperate
Click.click.clickclick.
"Done , did you get it Michael?"
Bling bling
"Just now" Michael smiled and looked at the message
Hey mike its me Ben
Michael was excited and he looked up at Ben "Ben i have to tell you-"
The bell rang and the classroom and hallway flooded with people.
"Tell me what Mikey-mike?"
Michael panicked and stuttered "l-let's skip school we can go to my house and hang."
"Sure then let's go"
"Its walking distance don't worry"
The boys waited for the second bell to ring and they walked out of the back entrance and started to walk to Michael's house.
