Jamie's P.O.V-

I woke up and was immediately nervous about today. Last night at the Coffee shop Jenny and Luke invited the new guy Nik to eat lunch with us. Soo I guess this is happening then. I get dressed and head out the door with my keys and bookbag. "Honey are you gonna eat breakfast before school?" My mom asks from the kitchen. 

"No, I'll eat later. I've got to go. Bye mom." I say and turn around and walk out the door. I turn the key in the ignition and when I get in the school parking lot I park between Jenny and Luke's cars. I take a deep breath and get out and walk inside. Immediately I can see Nik struggle to get his locker open. I walk up to him kind of cautiously and ask him if he needs help. He just smiles but and says 

"Yes. Please.". So I ask him for the combination and get it on the first try. 

"Thanks. My old school didn't have lockers. So." He says nervously trying to explain why he couldn't get it open. Dang he's kinda hot when he's nervous. 

"It's fine. We have first period together. I'll walk with you if you want." I tell him.

 He grins at that and says "Uh. Yeah, that would be great. Thanks." As he closes his locker back I attempt to just make small talk and get to know him. 

"So, where you from?" I ask. 

"Just a small town in Tennessee, nowhere special." That explains the locker thing. 

But I have to know "Interesting. So was that your mom at the coffee shop with you?" 

"yeah, um. It's just the two of us. So we keep up with what's going on in each others lives" is all he says. Just then we arrive at the classroom. He sits in the spot he was in yesterday. He sat right in front of me. Well, so much for trying to listen to the teacher today. I can't stop feeling these butterflies every time I see him or hear his name. I don't even know if he's gay and I've only been out to a 2 people for a day and he has only been here a day and I'm already got a crush on him. Oof. The whole class period he was spacing out and by the end he was just silently crying while staring at the board. When the bell rang I quickly packed my stuff up and people started leaving for next period I stood up and walked over to his desk and crouched down beside the desk. 

"Nik are you okay?" I ask him softly not to startle him. I just look into his wet beautiful sad eyes with worry written across my face.

"What? Why wouldn't I be?" He looks confused for a second. Then he blinks and more tears fall down his face and then he realizes he had been crying. 

"Your crying. You were spaced out all of class. At the end of class you were just silently crying, I was just worried. Are you sure your okay Nik?" I say still worried. By now it was just us and the teacher in the room. I don't have a clue what compelled me to but I reached my hand up to his face and wiped away the tears rolling down his face. He just gave a small smile and nodded his head slightly leaving for his next class. I stood there for a second. I really hope he's okay. I can't help the butterflies in my stomach every time I think about him. So I can't stop thinking about what compelled me to touch his face let alone wipe his tears. I guess I just felt like he needed it. I still want to know who put that hurt in his eyes and the need to sound confident about it. I go to my next class and I can only half listen to the teacher because my mind is still racing thinking about Nik. I just can't get that moment out of my head. The bell rings and its lunch thank god. I pack up my stuff and go stand outside my classroom and lean on the wall with my phone out. I spot them walking down the hallways and smile. Mostly because I have butterflies in my stomach because damn his eyes are so mesmerizing. 

"Hey. Guys." I say with a smile. Trying not to show how much I'm nervous about how this lunch will go. 

"I have to go get my lunch so yall go pick somewhere to sit." Luke says. 

"I forgot my lunch at home so I need to get food too. I'll just come with you." Jenny says and I roll my eyes at them. I know they are doing this on purpose I mean come on. 

"How are you doing? You looked upset earlier. What were you thinking about? If you want. No pressure." I says when we find a nice place outside to eat. I'm just trying to see what was wrong this morning but I don't want him to be uncomfortable. 

"Um. I was just thinking about somethings that happened a while ago. Really it's nothing." He says and I smile a little and just nod and say "okay" I go to eat my sandwich and I catch his eyes in my view and I swear to God when our eyes locked for a good minute. I felt butterflies and a burning desire to just kiss him and then Luke and Jenny come out and ruin what I thought was a perfectly good moment. Maybe he does like me? Maybe he is gay.
