Chapter 7: Icy Sighs

Finn's P.O.V

"Date? T-This is a date?" Jack said and his eyes widened. "I- I uh- Jack I didn't m-mean to-" He cut me off. "It's fine." He whispered and crossed his arms. "Are you sure? This isn't a date, Jack. It's just two friends hanging out. I'm sorry for saying that it just slipped." I apologized. "It's fine really. It's just two friends hanging out." He said.

I nodded and walked up to the counter. "Noah? N-Noah I didn't know you worked here." I said and he smiled. "Yeah, I recently got a job here. It's awesome. What can I get you?" He asked. "Uh... Two iced mocha frappuccinos please." I said and he typed some things into the register.

"8.25 is your total. Who's here with you? I didn't see you walk in." Noah said and I handed him a 20. "Jack and I are just chilling. I told you earlier, remember?" I said. "Oh, yeah. Um... Yeah. Umm... Can we talk later? I have to tell you something." Noah said. "Sure?" I rose a brow as he handed me my change.

"I'll bring those coffees out to you. We are going pretty slow so it's not a big deal or anything." Noah said and I nodded as I walked over to Jack. "Hey." I smiled as I sat down across from him and he didn't say anything back. "Sooo, how was school?" I said at an attempt to spark up a conversation.

"School was good." He said. Why won't he tell me about Troy picking on him? Usually people would go bragging about it for attention. "Nothing interesting happen?" I asked. "Nope. Boring regular day for me. What about you?" He questioned me back. "Yeah, it was a pretty normal day for me too. I'm glad I got to work with you in math. I'm sorry I left you when Chosen asked me to sit with him." I said.

"No, it's cool. I'm just happy we got to work on the packet together and we got it done too so I'm proud of us." He said and Noah approached us. "Hey." He said as he placed both of the coffees on the table. "Hey Jack. How are you doing?" He asked. "I'm doing good. Thanks." Jack said.

"Uh... See you later guys. Gotta get back to work before my boss kills me." He made fingers guns and pretended to shoot himself. I laughed as he walked back to the front of the shop but Jack in fact didn't. Ugh, Jack is such a fucking mystery. Where do I even start? "I don't think Noah likes me." Jack said. "What? He invited you to my party, didn't he?"  I said.

"Yeah, he did..  but now that I look back, he probably did it because he feels bad for me." Jack stated. "Why would he feel bad for you?" I asked. "Because I don't have much friends." Jack said softly. "Oh." I said. "Jack, are we friends?" I asked. I can't remember if I've asked Jack this question before.

"I hope so." Jack said. "What?" I said. "Well, I hope we are friends." Jack said and took a sip of his coffee. "Jack, we are friends. You are my friend. Am I yours?" I asked. "Yes." Jack said. "Good." I smiled. "Do you..." my voice trailed off. "Do I what?" Jack asked as he crossed his legs underneath the table.

"Do you want to spend the night at my house Friday? I know you were there on Saturday but that was a party. It would just be us." I said hoping he would say yes. "I'll have to ask my father." Jack said. "So... Is your mother not around, Jack?" I asked and his face went sad.

"Umm... No she's not." He mumbled and started bouncing his leg up and down. "Should I not have asked?" I said. "I mean- No it's fine." Jack said. "Are you sure?" I rose a brow and took a drink of my coffee. "Yeah I'm sure." Jack said. "S-So you don't mind if I ask what happened? Or is that to much?" I asked.

"Well-" Jack was cut off by a voice behind us. "Oh my god this can't be real. Jack and Finn?" Troy said and walked over to our booth. "Troy? What do you want?" I asked and Jack closed his eyes and burried his head into the palms his hands. "You know he's gay- right?" Troy said and pointed.
