Michael's POV
"We can't tell anyone, right?"
"In our hellhole of a school? Not a chance." I chuckled, startled by all that had happened. Jeremy was too, I could tell. We were both grinning like idiots, sitting close together and watching the stars. We were holding hands. Holding. Hands.
You see, after years I, Michael Mell, had confessed. It wasn't even that poetic or anything like that. I just sort of blurted it out. Being one of the most awkward people on the planet, it was probably about what I had expected it to be. Then again I can't be entirely to blame, seeing as a certain Jeremy Heere did it too, at the exact same time. See? Awkward as hell. Still, it happened, and I don't think either of us regrets it.
We must have sat in my car, just talking, for hours. Or at least it felt like it. It was unbelievable: he actually likes me. That is so fucking cool. And he is so fucking hot. Well, duh.
Eventually, we drove round to this little deserted spot on the beach that Jeremy apparently found a couple months ago. And we just started talking. A lot. It wasn't even always about us, sometimes we just started talking about some movie that he had seen or my new favourite game - Call of Duty: Zombies. A classic with a stupid name. And then it would turn back to the elephant in the room. Us. Which is how the topic of school came around.
"That's what I was thinking," Jeremy blushed. It's kinda adorable. Well, really adorable. "Because everyone at school is kinda homophobic and spread gossip
like wildfire and-"
"And Christine will ascend to the next plane of existence from pure fangirling if she finds out." I chipped in, laughing again. Jeremy giggled. It's kinda funny, but I'd definitely describe it as that: a giggle. It's pretty fucking beautiful.
I know I'm gushing, but wouldn't you too, in this situation? I mean I was literally holding hands with the boy I'd loved for years.
We've got school tomorrow. Just have to act normal - like, not-dating normal. Because we're dating. I'm dating Jeremy Heere,
And that's pretty fucking cool.
