The New Boy

Zoe

James and I went home with fear in our eyes, someone had seen us, our secret could be in tons of people's ears by now, soon the whole city will know, we'll be disowned and god knows what will happen, I was already preparing a speech for my parents when I got home, but, surprisingly they didn't say a thing, maybe they don't know, maybe the person that saw was couldn't see clearly so he couldn't tell anyone about anything, ran to my room and called James.

"Your parents?" I asked.

"Not a word" He responded in relief.

"That's good so that persons didn't saw us I guess".

"Yeah, he probably didn't, haha", James said with a bit of fear still in his voice.

"Hey, It's going to be all right baby", I said trying to calm him.

"I wish we could sleep together, I always feel better when you're around".

This made me blush, "Yes, that would be perfect".

"Well, dad is calling so, see you in school".

"See ya". I turned off the call and started thinking about the sauna, not about almost getting caught, about what was going on there, that was more than kissing, that was something I was really not used to, it wasn't bad, just ... a bit scary.

On the next morning in school, I had already forgotten about the incident, I could only think about what happened between me and James, but that quickly changed once I sat at my table and a note was waiting for me, on it it was written: I saw you and James yesterday, if you don't want your secret told to everyone, meet me after school at the mall.

My heart stopped for a moment, great, not only we were actually caught, but the person was from school, and this person would probably try to blackmail me, I tried hiding this from James so he wouldn't get worried, when school ended I just said him I needed to do some stuff in home and left running so I wouldn't be late, when I finally arrived at the mall, Zoe was waiting for me.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked totally pissed.

"You saw the note, why else would I be here?" She responded pissing me off even more.

"Look I don't know what you want, but stop playing games like this, why would you want to tell everyone about what you saw?"

"You're really fucking slow you know that? Ed, I like you" She said getting pissed too.

"I like you too, you're the one that abandoned me" 

"No you fuck, I like LIKE you, I want to be your girlfriend"

"What..." I was speechless.

"Yes, everyone realized that and you didn't, and out of the blue that boy James appears and ruins all my chances, a boy Ed." She started crying.

I walked to her and hugged her close, "I didn't know, you never told me", I said wanting to make her stop crying.

She hugged me harder still crying, "I told you in many ways... you just never realized them".

I didn't know how to react to what was going on, "Why don't we get inside? Let's watch a movie or something."

"For what? So I can spend more time with you feeling bad that you will never be mine?".

"Is that why you stopped talking to me? No Zoe, let's just have a good time okay?" I said before holding her hand and dragging her to the mall.
