Is He... Gay!? (boyxboy)

Chapter 8

Oh Snap! Look at James Being Covered In Girls! Smh, Thirsty Vultures!!!

*JAMES POV*

I sit down at my desk and start doing the work that was given to us. 

I sit between three girls and since getting with Maya, they've been all over me. 

"Omg, James can I take Maya's place? You're so cute!" One says, looking at me. 

I sigh, "No Maya is my girl and no one is taking her spot. Especially not the type of girls like you." I smile at her, big and bright. 

She doesn't even falter, just continues to stare at me with dreamy eyes. 

If I know it would have been this easy to get girls' attention then I would've been straight a long time ago. I look to the other side of the classroom at my friends Dylan, Julia, and Kobe. 

Kobe was busy messing with his hair in his phone screen and Dylan and Julia was busy being lovey-dovey. 

I shake my head and continue to do my work when the teacher calls for our attention. 

"Okay class. We have a big project today! You will have 6 weeks to work on this project and it will be 50 percent of your grade. You will come up with a concept you are very passionate about and create a presentation as to why it is important. You will work in groups of two." He says. 

Everyone starts to get excite and I look at Kobe knowing he'll be my partner. He gives me the thumbs up when the teacher keeps speaking.

"Now don't go getting all excited class. I'm picking the partners." He says and I smack my teeth. I really hope I don't get stuck with one of these females near me. I don't think I could handle being around one of them for so long. 

He goes and lists the partners and I'm with some guy named Grant. I hope he's cool. 

I ask one of the girls next to me who grant is and she points behind her.

I follow where her finger is pointing and I could feel my heart stop.

It's the guy. No, no, no, no, no, no! I can't be partners with him! Anyone but him... He's too fucking gorgeous! 

Okay James... You can do this. you're straight now remember? Just act normal and contain your inner gay demon. It ruined your life once, don't let it happen again.

I get up and head towards his desk with a smile on my face. 

He looks so fucking good oh my god. My breathing is uneven and I can feel my palms getting sweaty. 

Fuck this guy is gonna be the end of me. 

"Hey I'm James, looks like we're partners", I say trying to seem as normal as possible. 

"Yeah. Hey... G-grant" He stutters back only making my heart wrench more. His voice is like a fucking fairytale. I look at him more carefully and realize it's the same guy I ran into a couple months ago. 

  "Hey... weren't you the one that I ran into a few months ago in the hall?" I ask, sitting down in an empty desk. 

"Yeah! That was me!" He says, seeming to become happier. I guess he was just nervous. 

 "Well, looks like we'll be running into each other a lot from now on... but anyways, A lot of my friends are in this class and we were planning to forget the groups and just do a project together. I think Mr. Teal wouldn't mind too much." I say, remembering the group chat that me and my friends are in.

As soon as the teacher sat down, we came up with our plan. I mean, who wants to be in a group with people you don't know? Most of the other students did the same anyways. 

Everyone eventually switched partners or got into a big group. 

  "Okay, I guess that's cool. I usually work on projects by myself anyways so..." He says then looks down. He seems sad and I quickly come up with an idea. 

  "I didn't come over here to ditch you, I wanted to ask if you wanted to join our group."  I say.

I hope he doesn't have another friend or group he wants to join. 

I want to be around him. Even if that's all I can do. 

"Yeah, sure! That'll be great." He says looking happier than before. 

I smile and grab his phone, "Here, now you have my number. We're gonna meet at my friend Julia's house after school if you wanna come." I say, really hoping he does. Fuck, I mean, i don't care if he does. He doesn't have to come. It's not like I'm crushing on the guy or anything cause, you know, I'm straight.

"Okay, that's cool." He finally says looking at me. Fuck, his eyes. His fucking eyes! It's like they can sense the gayness in me and forcing it to come out. 

I quickly stand up and walk away before the bell rings. 

Walking out of class, I can feel my heart coming out of my chest. 

What the fuck did I just do?
