Gavins Pov

It's the next day and Oliver is back in school even though he wasn't feeling good yesterday. He's sitting at his usual place, sleeping on the desk. I smile and walk up to him. He doesn't react so I put my hand on his shoulder and shake him a little.

Gavin: Oliver the lesson is about to start. 

He turns around with a shocked expression and hits my arm quickly off his shoulder.

Oliver: Don't touch me!

He seemed very angry. As he laid down on the desk again, Simon enters the classroom and we get eye contact. I guess he saw what happened because he also seems shocked. He shrugged his shoulders and sat in front of Oliver. I decide not to sit next to Oliver and sit next to Simon instead.

Simon: He's probably got a bad day or something. Just let him be... I'll talk to him later.

Gavin: Mmm...

This has never happened before. What did I do that made him so angry? Could it be because I touched him? He can talk to me as long as I don't touch him, because he still thinks I'm disgusting after what happened in 8th grade. Can that really be it?

Simons Pov

Oliver, Gavin and I eat lunch together like usual, despite the incident  this morning. Oliver is a bit quieter than usual, but otherwise everything is the same. After lunch a teacher calls for Gavin to talk about the math test we had a few days ago. So I take the chance to talk to Oliver.

Simon: What's up?

Oliver: Do you mean what happened this morning?

Simon: Partly that. Has anything happened? You ok?

Oliver: Whaat? Pffffhh I'm finee. What happened this morning was just a reflex. It's nothing you need to worry about.

Oliver laughs nervously and then it gets quiet. I guess Oliver doesn't want to talk about it so I change the subject.

Simon: Heh, I did really bad on the math test. How did it go for you?

Oliver: Hahah same here. 

Oliver and I continue to talk. Gavin seems to have finished talking with the teacher and is approaching us. When he arrives, he puts his hands on our shoulders. 

Gavin: What are you talking...

Gavin is interrupted by Oliver who hits Gavins hand off his shoulder.

Oliver: Ehh I need to go... to the bathroom. 

Oliver looks down at the ground before walking away fast. Gavin looks a bit shocked and worried. He breathes out and draws his hand through his hair.

Gavin: This is the second time he's done that today. Do you think he has something against me?

Simon: I don't know, but I don't think so. In my opinion, he just seems shy when he's around you.

Gavin: I don't think so. I think he doesn't like to be with me because he finds me disgusting. Ignoring me once is one thing. But twice? 

Simon: Heey, you don't have to see it like that. If you're unsure, just tell him how you feel. It'll work out.

Gavin: I don't think so..

Simon: It's been a bit over a year since you confessed to him. He's probably changed since then. How about you tell him at your house on Friday?

Gavin: And then? What would happen then? Should I just "Oliver, I am still in love with you. What's your feelings towards me? "

Gavin gives me a sarcastic look.

Simon: Hahah,maybe not like that. But like...

We continue to discuss other ways he can confess. After a long conversation I manage to convince Gavin to tell his feelings to Oliver. We decided that he'll tell him at Gavins house on Friday.
