Perfection [boy x boy]

Chapter 12 Friday

Gavins Pov 

10 minutes. It's 10 minutes left until the last lesson of the week is over. Time has gone by fast since I've been thinking about what to say to Oliver. In ten minutes, it's time.. 

Teacher: Okay, read pages 44-51 until the next lesson. Have a nice weekend!

I hurry out from the classroom. I stand outside the entrance to the school going over what I'm going to say one last time. After a few minutes I see Oliver so I call out his name to get his attention.

Gavin: Oliver! Do you want to come to my place? I bought a new game that we can play. You know, like old times.

Oliver: Ahh I can't today... I have to... study for the ma.. ehh I mean history test.

Oliver turns around, wanting to leave, but I grab his hand to stop him. He turns around quickly and tries to pull his hand away, but I strengthen my grip not letting him.

Gavin: Oliver, there's something we need to talk about. We can't continue like this.. I've noticed that you've been avoiding me. Is it something I did?

Oliver shakes his head.

Oliver: What? Noo... It's not what you think... I...

Will he try to get out of this one too? How many times will he blame it on something else and hide the truth? Does he think I don't understand? Without thinking, I raise my voice.

Gavin: STOP LYING!

I breathe out and draw my hand through my hair to calm down.

Gavin: We've known each other for so long now that it would be strange if I hadn't noticed your avoiding behavior. So stop lying.

I let go of his hand and it gets quiet.

Gavin: If you don't have anything to say, you can go study or do whatever you were going to do.  

Oliver stares down at the ground. Nothing happens so I take it as he has nothing to say. I'm a little disappointed but it didn't come as a surprise. I knew it was a bad idea. Now there's nothing more I can do. It's only to accept that he doesn't like me.

Oliver doesn't move or say anything, so I pass him and walk to the train.
