"Hey Lance, are you okay man?"

I remember looking up from the book resting in between my knees, feeling the cool steel behind me pressing into my back. A pair of piercing green emerald eyes with dashes of brown in them stared back at me.

"What do you mean, Jason?"

"Cut the crap. Everyone can see you haven't been yourself these past few weeks. We thought it would go away in time but it didn't."

"I'm fine, Jace"

My voice cracked during that sentence.

I saw the fire in his eyes reignited.

"You're not. I know you're not."

"Well, you must be delusional! I'm fine!"

"Lance, please! I only want you to be happy. You can survive on your own without that guy."

"H-his name is Keith..."

"Does it matter?! You're hung up on him and you need to forget about him."

"How do I do that?"

I will never forget that strange smile and the split second glint of what seemed to be lust appear in Jason's eyes before it vanished.

"Are you free after school?"

"Well, duh."

"Well, why don't I take you to a movie?"

"I don't know, man. I'm not feeling up to it these days."

"C'mon, it'll be fun."

"Okay... If you're sure."
