Chapter 3: Falling into place

[SHANES POV]

It's been almost 3 weeks that Joey and I have been friends, unfortunately thats all we were. I knew I was gay, I mean I knew since I was around 14, my family knew as well, and so does everyone else, except Joey. I don't want to tell him I like him and he turns out to be straight and gets weirded out by me, but I want to let him know that I have feelings for him because every single day since he moved here I have been slowly falling in love with him. What's the worst that could happen...right?

NEXT DAY

[JOEYS POV]

I woke up at 6:15 A.M. and began getting ready for school, it was finally Friday which I was super excited about, and I get to see Shane at school today, which was even more exciting.

For the past few weeks Shane offered to drive me to school instead of me taking the bus, which I was pretty happy about considering the bus was the most annoying part of my day. Too many people, too many speed bumps, I just hated it.

After a few minutes my phone buzzed and it was a text from Shane

*Hey I'm in front*

I texted back

*Okay! I'll be out in a sec*

He replied shortly after

*Take your time:)*

I got my shoes on, took my bag, left my house and began walking to his car. It was a white BMW. Go Shane haha.

I opened the car door and put my bag in the back seat, and then got into the passenger seat.

"Morning" Shane said forming a smile

"Morning Shane" I said smiling back

He put the car on drive and began driving to our school, the whole ride there we just talked about simple things. He was acting a bit strange although, as if something was bothering him. I figured he just had a bad morning or something so I just rubbed it off.

The rest of the day was a blur, it went by pretty fast, I was just really excited for it to end so that I could hang out with Shane if he was free today. I walked into my last class of the day which was art. Sawyer was in my class and ever since Shane introduced me to him during lunch we've been sitting next to eachother.

"Hey Sawyer" I said

"Ay Joey! How's it going man?" He gave me a fist bump and I sat down as we began working on our art projects due next week.

We continued talking about basic things until he brought up something about Shane. 

"Yeah, I usually never stay up late but last night Shane face-timed me for like an hour, just completely venting to me about everything. I literally fell asleep at like 3" Sawyer said

"What was wrong? Was he upset?" I asked curiously

"Nah..I mean, like, he just has a lot going on in his mind" Sawyer said

"Thats weird...Shane hasn't said anything to me about it...and we're really close" I said

"Well it's not like, anything too secretive, nothing he would get mad about if I told you" Sawyer said

"So...could you tell me what he was talking about? Because this morning he drove me to school and seemed a bit unusual" I admitted

"He... just like" Sawyer paused, "Hm..how do I put this.." he paused again thinking, "Joey, Shane likes you. Like actually likes you" Sawyer said
