Shane's POV.

The last bell of the day rang and I ran over to my locker grabbing my backpack. I ran to the bus try to avoid Anthony so I wouldn't get beat up. I was the first one on the bus and soon Joey got on. He sat next to me. He had black emo hair and he wore a blue and white striped v-neck. His eyes were green making me wanting to stare into them but I knew he was straight. He was cute and kind, it made me start to have feelings for him. If I could just grab his neck and kiss him, I would.

Joey: Hey!

Shane: Hey.

Lisa got on the bus and sat in the seat in front of us. I poked my head through a small crack by the window to talk to her. She whispered to me.

Lisa: Who's that?

Shane: His name is Joey.

Lisa: Joey. He's cute. So is he ga-

Lisa was the only one who knew I was gay, but everyone in the school called my gay everyday so I guess it really wasn't a secret. I was kind of ashamed to be gay, I hated myself for it.

Shane: No he's not, but he says he wants to be my friend and now I'm going over to his house. What do I do.?

Lisa: What?! Well if you won't date him, I will. Text me the details when you leave his house.

Shane: Ok, fine.

I pulled away and Joey was talking to some couple. He turned to me and grabbed my arm. I pulled my arm away, the cuts on my arms started to bleed again. I rolled my sleeves down more trying to stop the small amount of blood.

Joey: Sorry I forgot about the cu-

Shane: Its ok.

Joey: Ok well, Shane this is Zoe and Alfie. Zoe, Alfie, this is Shane.

Shane: Hi.

Zoe+Alfie: Hi.

Zoe: So is Shane coming over to play videos games?

Joey: Yep he is!

The bus stopped and we all got off. We walked to Joey's house and walked in. Joey set up the PlayStation and we all sat on the floor in front of the tv. The game was some Japanese fighting game and we started to play. We played for hours and I lost at every game. I lost at first but I started to beat Joey. Time after time he had to pause the game to teach me again how to play.

Joey: You said you weren't good at video games?

Shane: Well I guess you're a good teacher.

Joey: Oh whatever.

I beat him and everyone clapped. He turned off the PlayStation and we were all in the kitchen getting some pizza. I wasn't hungry and I ate two bites of a slice, knowing that I would throw it up later.

Zoe: Well thanks for letting us come over but its getting late, bye you two!

Zoe and Alfie walked out the door and it was just me and Joey. I texted my mom to pick me up and she said she would be here in 10 minutes.

Shane: My moms picking me up in ten minutes.

Joey: Cool.

We sat there in silence for a while until Joey walked over to me and sat beside me. Crap. I hated sitting next to him, my heart started to beat faster. I was getting nervous and looked away from him.

Joey: Why do you do it?

Shane: Do what?

Joey: Cut yourself.

Shane: Oh that, I don't like to talk about it.

Joey: Come on! Lets make a deal, if I tell you why I cut, you'll tell me why you cut.

He smiled at me and stared into my eyes. God he was to cute to say no too. I nodded my head and shock his hand.

Shane: Deal.

Joey: Ok well, I cut only when my mom gets drunk and gets mad at me. I hate seeing her like that, one time she beat me. But, I guess cutting is way to get out the pain.

Shane: Same here I guess. My dad is a alcoholic and he beats me at least everyday. It also doesn't help when you got people beating you at school too.

He put his arm around me and he grabbed my arm. He looked at my jacket sleeve, noticing the blood seeing through the material. He took off my jacket and put it in the washer. He brought me off the the kitchen sink and washed off the cuts. It stung at first but he wrapped a bandage around my arm stopping some of the pain.

Joey: There, all better.

I heard my mom honk outside and I stood closer too Joey. My heart racing faster and faster every second. I had to kiss him.

Shane: I better get going, bye Joey.

I didn't know what I was doing. I leaned in closer to his face and pressed my lips to his and he kissed back a little, but not much. When I kissed him I felt something. It felt like my heart was going to burst with so many emotions and my feelings for him multiplied. Why was I doing this, probably the next day he would be friends with Anthony again and beat me too. I pulled away and sighed. He had a blank look on his face. Crap.

Shane: I'm so sorry. I got to go. Keep the jacket, I have plenty at home.

I ran off and got into my moms car. She drove away and I looked behind me to see Joey running out the front door, then stopping watching me leave. That was my first kiss, I never kissed anyone before and I felt something in that kiss. I knew I was gay, but I wasn't really sure before. I know now that i am since I have more feelings for Joey, but I know my heart breaks every time I think of him. He's straight and I'm gay.

Joey's POV.

Shane kissed me! What! He ran out the door and into the car. I ran out the front door, following him. I watched as he drove away until I couldn't see him anymore. I sat on the curb and stared at the sunny LA weather. I remember tell my mom I was bi-sexual last year, but I pushed those feelings away. I basically trained myself to be straight again. But when he kissed me, I feel like those feelings are back now. Wait! One of the main reason we moved here is so I wouldn't bullied for being a gay loner. I wanted to move here to start a new life as a popular kid who gets all the girls. Not some gay loser.

I sat there for a while until I got a text. I opened it and it was Shane. I smiled a bit, but then stopped smiling. Dang it. Why does he make me smile. I had to push him away from me

Shane: I'm sorry, if you don't want to be friends anymore, I understand.

Joey: God, I knew you were a f*g but what made you think I was one. Just get away!

I sent the message and I hated myself for saying this too him. I broke my heart a bit, but I knew it was for the best. Zoe was right, I shouldn't be friends with him. He texted back and I read it.

Shane: I'm sorry. Bye.

I didn't reply and I went back inside my house. I went to the washer and took out his jacket, I let it dry for a couple of minutes and took it to my bedroom. I laid on my bed snuggling with his jacket. I smelled like him, the scent made me feel loved and happy. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, remembering his smile and his blue eyes.
