Perfection [boy x boy]

Chapter 11 Acting weird

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.
