The Lies That We Tell

Quentin was alone at his locker, getting his English book for his next class that he shared with Katie who was sick at home. He had been hanging out with Marco and surprisingly Isaac who ate with them today. He even did it without Phoebe!

Things still weren't normal between them but at least his best friend had realized how childish he had been. And besides, he had something else in mind.

Quentin hadn't heard of Theo. Usually, that was normal but after their date, he had thought... what? He had no reason to expect anything from him. As much as he wanted to pretend that he couldn't care a less about Theo, there was a reason why he kept looking at the empty seat next to him in every Math class.

Dammit! Sure, the sex was mindblowing but he hadn't expected this. He couldn't stop thinking about their date, how impatient he was in bed and how nervous Theo had been, considering that it was his first time with a guy.

He didn't know how he felt afterward but Quentin was in heaven. It was so different compared to his previous experiences but in a good way. And what made it even better was the fact that after Theo had fucked him, it was his turn.

The poor boy was shaking when Quentin got on top of him but kept telling him to continue before it turned to moan. Needless to say, they both were pretty damn good in bed.

As if reading his mind, the same boy showed up in front of him out of nowhere, talking to him as if he hadn't first fucked him and then disappeared for three days before coming to school in the middle of the day.

"I need your help," he just said. Holy shit, Theodore Peterson was asking for help?! Quentin had never heard of him asking for someone's help. There was that time when he helped him after he got into a fight with six men but even then he was the one forcing help. Should he feel special now?

"With what?" Quentin did his best to sound casual but he feared that Theo could hear the sudden excitement that he felt after seeing that he was okay, which made no sense. He hadn't even realized how worried he had been and that fact alone made him wish Theo would be gone again.

How stupid of me to worry about him! He can take care of himself! And would he think about me if I disappeared? I don't think so.

"Are you still working for your aunt?" That was the last thing Quentin imagined Theo to ask and he started to get curious. He wouldn't give him the pleasure to know it, though.

"Yeah, always when I have time," he answered and closed the locker before starting to walk towards his class without waiting for Theo's answer.

"Tell her to hire me or something," Theo mumbled quite awkwardly while walking next to him. Quentin almost laughed. Theo obviously had no idea how these things worked out since he hadn't probably worked a day in his life.

"I can ask if we need new employees and maybe give you her number. The rest you can you alone," he said even though he already knew that they would need someone to help with the huge amount of customers they had every day.

"C'mon, you're not fair. You can do more and you know it," Theo frowned. That's when Quentin stopped walking and turned to look at the boy next to him, wondering why he was suddenly so interested in working.

"Why do you want this job?" he asked.

"A job interviewer asks me that and you, my boo, aren't that," Theo smirked.

"My boo?" Quentin raised his eyebrows before laughing loudly. Theo might be an asshole but at least he knew how to make him laugh.

Groaning loudly, blushed in embarrassement which he tried to hide by avoiding looking everywhere else but Quentin. "Don't you have a class to go?"
