As Long As You Need Me

Not to sound gay or anything, but the new kid is kind of cute. Screw it, that sounded pretty gay, but to be honest, who am I to care about something like that. There's something about Rich. He may be a bit shy or awkward and that's alright. Things like that make a person even cuter in my opinion. He even has the same aura that I usually notice surrounding other gay dudes.

Oh jeez, I think I may like him.

I really should see if we could hang together soon.

"Yo, Rich man, do you have an open class period today so we can chill?"

"Um yeah, I do actually," Rich says nervously as his face adorably flushes 3 shades redder. I shoot him a small smile as he goes to cover up his face with his arms.

"Hey, want to hear something funny?"

"And what would that be?"

"I'm gay." This had felt surprisingly relieving to get off my chest. It was almost as if a large weight has lifted, weird.

Rich's face flushes red enough to make even a tomato jealous. I can't believe how cute he is when he's flustered like this. At the sight of him, I can feel my own face get hot, and out of instinct, I cover a good portion of my lower face. Damn it, how is it not illegal for someone to be that cute.

"So anyway, are you dating any boy -body I mean, anybody," I awkwardly blurt out.

"Um, yeah I'm single. If that's what you're getting at." We are interrupted by a cough from Xander.

"Yo lovebirds, the 7:35 bell just rang, you guys might want to think about getting to class."

I just nod in response and say my goodbyes as I head off to class.
