Mistaken

Jack's P.O.V

The day went pretty smoothly, with nothing important happening. Thankfully, the dickheads left us alone for the day. Since we all had the same last period, it made it easy to walk home as a trio, as we didn't have to wait for anyone else.

I decided it was now or never. So as we walked, I, I, came out to them. They both accepted me without hesitation, and when I looked at Oscar, I noticed a glint of something in his eye, it looked like hope. Did Oscar like me? I so hope he did, other wise this has all been for nothing. We walked in silence for a bit, until Oscar told Ibanez he was gay too. She played it cool and acted like she didn't already know.

So now two of the three people were gay, and at least one liked the other. I was so tempted to tell Oscar how I really felt, but idk how he'd respond, and I don't want him to hate me, because then he'd probably go to the other group and tell them I told him I was gay, and I couldn't deny that, because otherwise they'd murder him for lying to them, and then he would be more hurt.

We all ended up going to my house and just chilling in my room, and oskar most of the time asking questions about it. It was really funny some the questions he asked, you could tell he was from a controlled family, because he didn't have a clue what some of the most popular things are.

It was cute that he didn't know what they were, it meant I got to be kind of like his mentor, I mean, I am his mentor for maths, but still. Unfortunately, Oscar had to be home by 5 so he had to set off quite soon, but at the same time it gave me some alone time Ibanez, to talk to her about all of this.

We said goodbye to Oscar and he left. I hope he got home ok. We walked back to my room and started talking about Oscar and me and shit. Ibanez reckoned I should just tell him my feeling, but I reckoned that it was a bad idea, in case he got offended and told me to fuck off. She said she reckoned he liked me, but I wasn't so sure. Although, there was that glint in his eye earlier.

Maybe that glint in his eye did mean he liked me, I mean he walked right to me when he walked into role class. Surely that must mean something. I hope he does like me, I think I've decided what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell him in Maths tomorrow, when it's just us, so there no pressure on either side.

I feel like my chances are higher if I tell him without anyone around, so I can truly tell him my feelings without the feeling I being watched, which, in all honesty, I probably am.
