~More Then Friends~ Benji X Jorge

5

Jorge had been going to his new school for a week now. Every day he ate in the library and Benji usually followed. They only occasionally talked. Benji must have been shyer than Jorge thought. Benji's friends were getting suspicious to why he was never at lunch.

"Where do you go dude?" Asked his friend Landon. "What, have you been sleeping with the teacher or something? You're always in her classroom."

"Oh god no," said Benji. "What if i said i was eating with a girl everyday. Not a teacher though." Benji thought he was maybe developing a crush on Jorge. He was really confused. He never felt this way over a guy before, but he never really felt this way over a girl either. Could this explain why he never wanted to be intimate with any girls?

Jesus christ i can't get this kid out of my head... Benji thought as he ate lunch with him in the library. He just wanted to start a conversation with Jorge. It had never been so hard before, he could easily go up and talk to whoever he wanted.

"So um... Have you made any friends so far?" Benji asked. Crap that sounded kinda mean.Why'd i even day that

"Oh no not really." Jorge said. I mean that was kinda obvious he was still sitting alone in the library every day. Benji was too nervous to say anything else so he got out his homework and worked on it while he ate.

The next day, Benji walked into the library but Jorge wasn't there. He's probably just late. Benji thought so he sat down at their usual table and waited. After about 5 minutes Jorge still wasn't there. Benji decided to go to the lunchroom anyways. He went to sit with his friends when he noticed Jorge sitting with a group of people across the room. I guess he's made friends. Good for him. Even though it sounded selfish, Benji didn't really want Jorge to get other friends.

Later that day in Language Arts, the teacher gave the students 5 minutes of free time since she ended her lesson early. Benji noticed that Jorge wasn't talking to anyone, so he decided to walk over.

"Hey Jorge," he said. Benji's face was beginning to turn red. "I noticed you didn't eat in the library today..."

"Yea I got invited to sit with some new friends."

"Oh, good for you... anywa-" the bell cut Benji off.

"I have to go to my next class." Jorge says as he packs up his stuff and leaves. God damnit, I think he hates me. Why do I feel this way for another guy? Fuck am I gay...

Benji couldn't sleep that night thinking about Jorge and his sexuality. I mean, I barely know him... I should get to know him... He doesn't seem to like me at all though... And it's so hard to talk to him, I get so scared . Benji tossed and turned with his thoughts till he finally fell asleep.

The next day in first period, Nora came up to Benji again.

"Hey, I know we haven't talked in a while but... I think I wanna give our relationship another try." This really surprised Benji. He was gonna say no when he got an idea. If I date Nora, I could make Jorge jealous or he could show his true feelings...

"Yea sure, I think I could give it another try." Benji said.

"That's great, i'll text you later." Benji looked over to Jorge who was just reading a book. Jorge hadn't even noticed what just happened. Great i'm in a relationship and Jorge doesn't even care.
