Behind The curtains

Jamal's Pov

"Dad I'm home.." I said as I opened the door. There was no reply. I had completely forgotten that he had left for a trip. My father began to get busy after my mother die. But our bond was still very strong. This week of school has been so annoying. Except the fact that we have a new student in my Homeroom who looks like a cute little girl that loves to invade my mind far too often.

His delicate soft and pink lips. His pale white skin. The way his cheeks heat up when someone compliments him or when he feels embarrassed. I'm not someone to deny the pleasures of life. I know that I'm catching feelings, but it doesn't scare me. I heard my phone beeping so I picked up immediately.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jamal.. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.. My mom's going on a business trip and my brothers are being so god damn annoying.." Anees said with an irritated voice.

"Sure.. Wanna sleep over? My dad went on a business trip as well so I'm going to be all alone.." I said

"Sure I'll be there soon.."

He knew where my house was since he came once before for the project that we had together. I made sure my room was clean and neatly done just in case he was a clean freak or something. Or maybe I just want to impress him. I heard someone knock and I ran downstairs.

"Ane- ayite? " it wasn't Anees

"Hey dude.. Anees said you were home alone and that he was coming over so I'm here too cause well.. You know.. My family doesn't love me.." He said laughing a little.

He came inside and told me that Antonio would come too. He just didn't want to wait for him because he takes too long. Just after he was done, Antonio had entered the house as well.

"So all of you guys are gonna sleep over ? " I asked as I saw they were holding bags.

"Yup. When's Anees gonna be here yo?" Ayite asked impatiently

"Hey Jamal sorry- oh.. Hey guys.. Sorry I'm late.. " he said and made sure to close the door because those two didn't.

"It's okay.. At least you're already here..." I said smiling at him. He shyly returned the smile and looked down blushing. God, he's so cute.

"Is there something that we are missing guys ?" Ayite asked with a smirk on his face

"No.. Nothing.. I'm gonna to put my stuff in your room.." He said looking at me and walking up the stairs.

"Stop staring at his ass.. Just smack it.." Antonio winked at me. God this is so embarrassing, I got caught staring.

"Why don't you just go fuck your chocolate cake.. " I said looking at ayite

"I think I will.. C'mon ayite.. Let's fuck.." Antonio said laughing.

"Fuck you! What makes you think Antonio would too huh?" Ayite said defensively

"Are you saying I don't ?" Antonio asked as he got closer to ayite.

"N-no.. I'm just.. Saying.." Ayite couldn't back any further since the wall was once centimeters away.

"Okay.. I'm gonna leave you two to release your sexual tension.. " I said as I walked upstairs.

"Anees?" I knocked and Waited

"Come in.." He said

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah where are the guys?" He asked

"Downstairs. Fucking.."

"What??"

"Probably.. Antonio looked like he was ready to eat ayite alive .."

"They like each other?" He asked shocked

"They try to hide it.. But that bromance is only a romance. " I winked at him.

"Do you think it's okay?" He asked me

"To like a boy?"

"Yeah.."

"You can't choose who you fall for .. So yeah.. I don't mind.." I said

"Cool.." He blushed a little.

"Why?" I asked him

"N-nothing.."

"Do you like a boy?" I asked him curiously

"Eh... Well.."

"Who??!" I told a hold of his shoulders and pushed him against the wall.

I didn't mean to be brutal. But how am I supposed to react to him liking someone who isn't me.
