Oliver P.O.V.

We were in the training room, I was keeping distance from Mara, what she said to me was awful. But we were acting as if nothing happened. Shawn and Mara were chatting, Mara screamed, "You fucking serious?" Shawn laughed, "Yes I am! I'm gonna graduate!" She stopped punching the bag and pulled him into a tight hug, "Congratulations Shawn!" She grinned, Shawn's face was flushed, his freckles stood out. I wanted him so bad, holy crap. "So, I'm graduating with you guys! I'm actually passing my classes." I clapped him on the back, "Congrats Bro." He laughed, "Thanks, Dude." Mara gagged, "Get a room you two. Jesus." We both laughed, but I didn't want to be near her "Really Mara?" She giggled, "The sexual tension between you two is killing me." I blushed in embarrassment, "Oh please." Shawn smirked at me, "I'm willing to try anything once." I chuckled, "I'm usually top, so..." He stepped towards me, I shrunk back a little. Shawn laughed, his deep voice was like honey, "We'll see about that. You are starting to submit right now." I blushed, even more, looking away. Mara was laughing her ass off, it used to be the most beautiful sound to me. Shawn winked at me, what is happening to me.

I mean sure, he is really attractive and his deep voice stirs something in me- Wait, I felt these things towards Mara, but more. Am I gay over Shawn? Is there too much gayness in my life? Mercedes would say no, there is never too much gayness. There isn't enough gay in the world Oliver, there needs to be more! I laughed a little, Mara and Shawn gave me a weird look. I coughed, "Sorry, lost in my own head." Mara giggled, "You were pretty flushed, then just had a goofy grin full of admiration." Shawn nodded, "What were you thinking Ol?" I laughed, "I'm not telling you Dorek." He pouted, his curly hair falling in his face. I had the urge to push it out of the way of his gorgeous brown eyes. Mara was giggling, I just couldn't stop staring at him. Our eyes were locked, my face was red, so was his. Shawn cleared his throat, looking away, I was turning darker red by the second.

I was walking back to the Main Room, Dallas by my side. "But yeah, Nyela shrieked when Patricia opened the door." I laughed, "What happened to Patricia?" Dallas grimaced, "She had her face cut off and taped to a balloon for Mara's 12 birthday. She wasn't that fazed, surprisingly. She was the one who looked after us when our parents were on missions." I nodded, "Dally, how did you know that you liked guys?" He smiled a little, "When I first met a boy named Freddie MacNamera. Grade 7, I never had any interest in girls, but I just thought that I didn't want to date anyone at all. We were a couple of towns East, and I met him while on a mission with Richie. We hit it off really well, and I realized that I actually had a crush on him." I nodded along, trying to understand my feelings for Shawn. "Why do you ask Truman?" I shrugged, playing innocent, "I've asked Mercedes, Oscar, Max, I also asked Janet and Elizabeth. I just want to know more about my friends." Dallas smiled a little, "That's really cute Oliver." I laughed, "It's a conversation starter as well, plus it's like a walk down memory lane for some people." He started talking more about how to distinguish feelings towards people, it was helpful.

I was running, running away from everything. Today was the 6th anniversary of Olivia's death. And on top of that, I like Shawn, I can't start to have feelings for Shawn Dorek. Of all people to like, I like Mara's ex-boyfriend. I feel like they've been a bit more friendly than they should be, and I don't like it. It hurts, knowing that she might have been sneaking around, with Shawn of all people. I turned a corner, running down to the park, trying to clear my head. I've been out for a couple of hours now, just running around the city. After Football season was over, I still kept up in shape, I had to. I just wanted to get away, away from the most gorgeous person in the world. From the fact that it's Shawn that I love, from the thought of Shawn and Mara behind my back. To get away from Shawn, and his perfect hair, his beautiful eyes, his amazing smile, his muscular body, his deep voice that sounds like Honey, his plump kissable lips. I can't keep going on like this.
