Shane's pov

I have spent hours on my new laptop. I barely even leave my room. My mom is really happy that I like the gift but also she is a little worried that I am becoming more secluded.

"She worries too much. So what I haven't seen sun light in like a week? Who needs sun light? Also what day is it?" I said to myself. I get up to go look at my calendar on the wall.

"June 11th." I said.

Skye was on my bed playing with her green chew toy. I pet her on her head.

I hear a ding noise that came from my laptop, indicating that I have a new message. I open it up.

Hey

"Is it weird that I think he has a deep voice with muscles and hazel eyes that will burn holes into my soul if I made eye contact with him? Nah." I said to myself as I get ready to type.

Hey what's up?
          -1:08 PM

Watching a football game.
          -Afterexposure_ 1:13 PM

"He's into sports? Interesting. Should I ask what his favorite sport is? God I know nothing about sports so hopefully he doesn't want to have a conversation about sports."

What is ypur favoirte sport?
          -1:17 PM

After I hit send button, I begin to panic. It was like my brain was screaming at me saying "YOU IDIOT!"

"Oh no I gotta fix it." I literally don't know know why I'm panicking. It's just a typo.

Your favorite*
          -1:20 PM

"I fixed it Skye." I said to my dog. I look back at her and saw her sleeping with her chew toy on my bed.

"I really need to stop talking to myself or people are gonna think I'm crazy."

Football 💯
          -Afterexposure_ 1:25 PM

I know nothing about sports.
          -1:28 PM

You should watch a football game with Tom Brady.
          -Afterexposure_ 1:32 PM

Oh I know Tom Brady. I think he's cute.
          -1:35 PM

"DAMN IT! Shane why did you say that? I'm so stupid." I mentally kicked myself a hundred times. I wanted to kill myself. I bury my face in my hands, stressing about my secret that only Arianna knows.

So you're gay?
          -Afterexposure_ 1:40 PM

Yeahhhh
          -1:43 PM

Uhhh I gotta go.
          -Afterexposure_ 1:47 PM

I stood up from my desk; every fiber in my being was shook. So many thoughts were going through my mind.

"What if he tells someone? What if my mom hates me when she finds out? What if I get bullied more than usual? What if he doesn't come back? Shane you're stupid." I said as I ran my hand through my hair.

Okay I need to calm down. I grab my phone so I can message Arianna.

Ari? We have a problem.
          -1:57 PM

I slide my phone into my pocket and I walk to my closet.

"I'll just go in the shower so I can forget about it." I grab a pair of shorts, a random shirt, and a pair of boxers. I walk past my mom's room. I decided to see if she was home.
