I Like Him {BMC}

A/N HarmonyGal thanks for the request and sorry it took so long! Hope ya enjoy!! And sorry I'm advance for the POV changes.

(Christine's POV)

I sat practically on Jeremy's lap while we were eating lunch. We were with Rich and Jake outside, just messing around. 

"No way man! I think I'd look much better in a dress," Jeremy argued with Rich and laughed, hugging me tightly. Although today, something seemed off. He was out of focus; he always seemed preoccupied. Maybe I'd talk to him later..

"Okay, okay," Rich playfully pushed Jeremy. "Hey dude, I gotta do a thing, come with," Rich was addressing Jeremy. 

"Okay. Bye sweetheart," he said and pecked my cheek, but not lovingly, more like it was a chore.

(Jeremy's POV)

"Thanks, man," I patted Rich's back as we walked off to the restroom.

"Yeah. So what was it you had to say?" he asked as he hopped onto the sink and sat on it. The bathroom was seemingly empty.

"Well, here's the thing.. I don't know if I actually like Christine.."

"What? But how.?"

"Well, ya know that new kid? Who's... a guy?" Rich nodded. I felt my face getting hot and my head spinning. "I think I like him," I blurted all too loudly, and then covered my mouth in embarrassment .

(Christine's POV)

I skipped past the boys restroom while walking with a group of techies. 

"I think I like him," is all I heard, but I was sure I knew the voice. But.. it couldn't be.

"Hey! Could you go into the boy's bathroom and.. see who's in there talking?" I asked one of the props guys wearing a red sweatshirt. He was new but pretty handy with glitter and a glue gun. However I was blanking on his name.

The guy nodded and timidly pushed open the bathroom stall.

(Jeremy's POV)

"Man! He is pretty cute, but Michael? Never thought antisocial headphones kid was your type," Rich laughed at me and I blushed. 

"Well, I've only dated one person, so I don't really have a type, stupid. I don't know.. he's really nice and cute and dorky and cute.." I smiled, until I noticed someone staring right at Rich and I. It was Michael.

"Shit.." I mumbled and ran outside of the bathroom in embarrassment, only to bump into Christine. "Oh! Hey babe.."

"Don't babe me! What were you talking about in there?" She crossed her arms. Michael walked out of the bathroom and tried to keep his head down, but Christine called him out. "Him! This guy, Michael, .. means something to you, Jer?"

"Wh-what? I barely know him, I mean, he's great- but uh, yeah," I stumbled as I felt my face getting hot.

 I scooted toward the bathroom but Rich walked out at the same time, making us run into each other and me fall down. 

"Jer, don't hide things from me," she tapped her foot and the bell rang. Student in the hall started to leave, but Christine, Michael, and I stayed.

"I- what did you hear?" I asked as I stood up.

"I don't know.. what did you hear when you walked in Michael?" she was patronizing him. God how he deserved better.

"Well, uh.. I don't know. Nothing really at all," he stammered and stared at the floor.

We all stood there in silence until it was unbearable. "I like Michael and want to break up!" I said as quickly as I could and stared at Christine. 

"Wh-what? right now?" she scooted back in disbelief. I nodded slowly and glanced at Michael. "I- I'm gonna go.." she whispered and ran outside the building. 

I looked to Michael and walked closer to him. "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.."

He shushed me and looked up, somewhat smiling. "I- I like you too."
