Yep, I'm....Gay

Yep, I'm....Gay {4}

~~~Grant's POV~~~

I froze as I turned to see Cale, walking in our direction waving. I looked back at Zoey, still waving, then back at Cale. WHYYYYYY? SHE WAS TRYING TO SET ME UP WITH CALE!!! AND SHE WAS HAVING HIM SIT WITH US DURING LUNCH!!! I COULD BARELY STAND NEXT TO THE GUY WITHOUT GET TOTALLY NERVOUS. Whoa. Wait. Why do I get nervous? Do I.....Do I like him? Nooooo. No way. I only just met him yesterday. BUT YOU WERE STARING AT HIM AND DROOLING ON YOURSELF THIS MORNING!! Shut up, Grant!! Great, now I'm talking to myself. But I don't like him. I just don't.

"Hey, isn't that the new kid who was in our first and second period with us, Grant?" Evan asked, pulling me out of my conversation with myself. I gulped and forced my eyes away from Cale as he got closer to the table.

"Y-Yea. T-That's him." I said looking down at my tray. WHY AREN'T YOU PUTTING ME IN A BETTER MOOD, MY LITTLE CHICKEN NUGGETS?!?!

"Hey." I heard his voice behind me. I turned around and looked up at him. His mouth curved up in a shy smile. Oh God, was he gorgeous. What am I doing?!

"Hi Cale." Zoey said, her eyes twinkling. She was too excited about this.

"This is Loren, Maya, Evan, and Grant." She said gesturing to only me, "Why don't you sit down?"

Oh hell no. The only empty seat....was the one right beside me. How did I NOT see that coming? I bet everyone else on this planet would have seen that coming, but nooooo, I'm the only idiot who wouldn't!!! He sat down and took a bite out of his sandwich.

"So Cale why did you transfer here?" Loren asked.

Cale swallowed and ran a hand through his blond hair, his eyes shining. They were like little green pearls.

"My dad got promoted.....is that an sketch book?" He said turning to me. Gahhh! He was looking straight at me! I forced myself to look at him to answer but the moment I did, my face got hot and I choked up. I glanced down at his shirt, "Uh y-yea."

"So you take art? Can I see it?" He asked playing with his lip ring. He looked so sexy. He was wearing a red sweatshirt and blue basketball shorts. And he completed the outfit with black converse. I was just about to say yes when I remembered I had drawn a picture of him in study hall. Wouldn't he think it was totally strange and creepy and never talk to me again.....n-not that I, you know, actually....care.

"S-Sorry, but I have some um....personal drawings in it." I said trying to keep my voice steady, although I wouldn't stop stuttering. Come on mouth! Work with my brain here, not on your own! I'm getting really weird. But this only happened when I was around him. Whyyyyyy?

"Oh that's okay." He said giving me a small smile. I'm melting. Oh god I'm melting right here, right now. I blushed fiercely and looked back down at my tray. Glancing up once, I saw a huge grin plastered on Zoey's face, her eyes wide, making my blush deepen. I probably looked like a little red crayon right now.

"Uh, hey Grant? Can I talk to you for a moment?" Zoey said standing up and literally dragging me out of the cafeteria.

"Oh my god!" Zoey said pulling me around a corner, bouncing up and down. I groaned, "What?"

"You totally like Cale! I didn't even know you knew him already, let alone liked him!" She squealed.

"I don't like him! I barely even know him." I said, lowering my voice after I shouted a little, my face still red.

"Oh yes you do! You're blushing! You never blush!" She screamed/whispered, causing me to blush even more.

"I don't like him." I mumbled, embarrassed by the whole thing.

"Sure. Yea okay. You don't like Cale." She said, her voice filled with sarcasm. Ugh. I didn't like Cale. I don't like Cale. I just don't like him. I felt my cheeks getting hotter the more I thought about it.

"Okay well you should at least give this a try. And if you're lying to me....that means we've found your first crush!" She giggled. My first crush? I realized I hadn't had my first crush yet. But Cale wasn't going to be my first crush....right?

"We should get going before our friends get suspicious." I said, walking off.

"Awwww! Grant's got his first crush!" Zoey said, pinching my cheek. I swatted her hand away and walked back into the cafeteria. I sat back down and ate my chicken nuggets, hoping lunch would go my fast. I've never been so desperate to leave lunch, especially on chicken nugget day. Ugh. But he sits right next to me in math. Gahhh! What is life?!?!
