Mikey's POV.

Kayla and I were sitting at lunch as usual when it all started. We were playing truth or dare.

"Truth or dare Kayla?" I ask.

"Truth!" She said.

"Do you still like Dylan? Even after he came out?"

Dylan wasn't one of the stereotypical jocks even before he came out. He had really good grades and was nice to everyone.

"Urgh...yes..." I smile at her, she looks so uncomfortable.

"Mikey, truth or dare?"

"Dare,"I have a strong feeling that I will regret saying dare.

"I dare you to ask Bryce to prom!"

Oh shit. He is one of the most popular people in school. He just happens to be my lab partner and she knows I have liked Bryce for like forever. But prom is like four days away.

"Um, why? No!"

"Nope, you have to!" she smiled triumphantly at me, "you have lab next so ask him then! I bet he'll say yes, he likes you. He looks at you all the time when he thinks you won't see."

"Truth or dare Kayla?" I say as I try to think of something equally bad. But before she gets a chance to answer the bell rings. That snake was saved by the bell.

"Well I would love to continue this but I have to get to class. See ya!"

Then she was gone, I got up and started walking to class. I know I had no choice, either I ask when no one is around to humiliate me, or she comes up with a creative way to do it for me.

"Hey Mikey," Bryce says when he sits down next to me.

"Hi Bryce," I say looking down at my hands, dreading to ask him. Maybe I should ask him at the end of class so it won't be awkward all lesson.

"You okay?" he asks using his index finger to tilt my face towards him.

I can feel his eyes piercing through me and I know he won't believe a lie.

"Just nervous about something I have to do," it is the truth, but not the whole truth.

He nods slowly and lets go of my face but keeps looking at me. He is wearing a look of concern on his face, God, I almost forgot to breathe. We only stopped looking at each other when the teacher walked in and started going over the experiment we were going to do today.

When the bell rang and everyone started packing up their stuff, I tapped Bryce on the shoulder, getting ready for rejection.

"Yes?"

"I wanted to ask you something," I say

"Oh yeah, the lab report. Do you wanna come over after school to work on it?"

"Oh sure, but I wanted to ask you something else too..."

"Okay? Don't be shy," he gave me a reassuring smile.

"I know there is no point in asking, you probably already have a date because it is so late. Not to mention that you are straight, probably. And even if you didn't have a date you would never go with me because I'm such a loser but I have to ask; would you go to prom with me?" I say all of this super quickly. Bryce looks surprised but smiles.

"I don't have a date, I'm not straight and you are definitely not a loser." I couldn't believe my ears, like wtf, "And I would love to be your date," he smiles at me.

"So I'll see you outside at 15.30, so we can work on the lab report?"

"Awesome," I say still stunned.

"Great see you then, bye." he walks out of the classroom leaving me in shock.

He said yes - shot fuck fuck fuck - wow.

I slowly make my way to my English class, I have it with Kayla. She is outside waiting for me.

"So what did he say?" she asks eagerly.

"He said yes..."

She squeals.

"I knew he liked you, Oh My God," she looks so happy for me.

:::

I go outside after my last lesson and wait for Bryce, I take out my phone to text my mom where I'm going. Someone taps my shoulder and I see Bryce smiling at me.

"Hey."

"Hi, ready to go?" he asks.

"Yeah, you?"

He nods then grabs my hand and starts walking away from school. I was surprised by him taking my hand. But I like it, I interlace our hands to make it more comfortable.

We walked for ten minutes, talking about normal things like school and books. We didn't mention prom or the fact that we were holding hands but somehow it wasn't awkward.

He let go of my hand and opened the door.

"Mom, I'm home. Me and my lab partner are gonna work on our assignment," he said yelling towards a room I assumed was a living room or office.

"Okay have fun," I heard a woman's voice calling.

We walked upstairs into Bryce's room. It was clean and mostly white, he had one bookshelf filled with books and different drawing things. His large bed was made. Infront of a large window, he had a desk that had more pencils, papers and brushes. His boy really liked to draw. I could tell.

After we finished the assignment we talked for a bit until Bryce's dad came upstairs and knocked on Bryce's door.

"Hi, I'm James. Bryce's dad."

"Hey, I'm Mikey. His lab partner," I said shaking his hand.

"Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to have dinner with us? I'm making lasagna."

Bryce looked over at me and smiled.

"That sounds amazing. If it is not too much trouble-"

"No, no. None at all." He smiled at me and closed the door.

"Do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Bryce asked.

"Sure, What do you have in mind?" I say as sit down next to Bryce on his bed.
