I Never Knew You (One Shot)

James' POV

I walked into the class with a coffee in my hand and a sat in my desk. College classes were alright. It's not the worst but it isn't the best. I'm always lonely after school anyway. I don't have anyone to hang out with. Most people see me as an outcast or 'the weird kid' Never really understood why they see me like that but it doesn't matter ; I don't pay attention to those guys.

"Ok class. Today I will be giving you a project. You and a partner will have to create a presentation about a book that I assigned to you." the teacher said.

A project, I hate them. They always put me with some jerk leaving me to do all the work by myself. It sucks to be honest. Normally, I would beg the teacher to let me work by myself but it never works out. I decided that I would just save my breath and just work with whoever she out me with.

She read out everyone with the class with someone. I waited patiently for her to say my name but as least a minute passes by and no one she says nothing.

Suddenly, the door swings open and I see one my classmates walk in. "Sorry, I'm late!" Adam says as he walks to his seat. Some of the class whisper and giggle at Adam's entrance.

I've known Adam since freshman year of highschool. He was known as one of the bullies of the school. He would hang around the most toxic people at school. He used to bully me back then too. I really don't like the guy.

"Adam since you were the last person to come in you'll work with James." the teacher said. Shit. Adam looked at and smiled. I shot him an angry look and got my notebook out. Prefect, my high school bully is my partner now."

After class I went to my locker. When I got to it a certain brunette boy was standing near my locker. "Hey James is it?" he asked as I rolled my eyes at him. "So looks like we're partners. Do you wanna meet at my dorm or do I come to you-"

"Look Adam. I know you. You're the same slacking bully from highschool. You're probably gonna just let me do the whole project by myself. I don't care, I'm at least gonna get it done right. Now just leave me alone." I told him.

"James that's not fair! I'm just trying to help. I actually wanna help!"

"Ha! Prove it. I'll come to your place after school." I told him and walked off. He's probably just using me. Of course he's using me. No one really wants to be around me.

After school, I walked over to Adam's dorm. "Hey James. Come one in!" he said. When I finally walked in I noticed that it was actually not a huge mess. Sure there were a few books and papers around but it was pretty normal. I noticed that he had some video games out.

"You play video games?" I asked.

"Who doesn't? Videos games are my life. I've played pretty much every game. But I guess you would want to get started on that project. I have some ideas for it." Adam said. I sat down next to him on his couch as he took out his books. "So I was thinking maybe we should talk about the characters journey. For example, Devan has helped pretty much everyone on Earth and beyond yet he's struggling to help himself. Everyone is moving on without him and he doesn't have anyone to hold on to. Was that good?"

I was blown away. He actually knew what he was talking about for once. Finally, a partner who actually had something to offer. "That was amazing Adam! We have to add that to the essay." I said.

We worked on the project for at least an hour and took a break. "So James, what are you interested in?" Adam asked me. "Well I like making comics. Art is kinda my thing." I said nervously.

"No way, me too. I used to make comics when I was a kid. I really wanna be an entertainer one day ya know?" Adam told me. "I like making people feel better with my stories. I love making them laugh and helping them express themselves."

"Wow Adam, I never knew you were like that. I'm sorry I judged you this morning. You're actually really cool and talented." I said. Adam smiled ruffled my hair. "It's alright Jameson. If you don't mind me calling you that. I kinda deserved it for the way u treated you back then. I was trying to be cool but I really wasn't. I'm sorry about that. To be honest, I think you're way cooler than me. Really cute too." he said.

"Are you really trying to flirt with me? God yours so gay." I joked. We both started laughing pretty hard. "Yeah I know, probably because I kinda am." Adam blurted out.

"What!?"

"Yeah, I'm into guys. I never really talk about it. Especially, not in high school."

"Oh. We'll don't worry I like guys too." I told him.

For the rest of the afternoon I got to know the real Adam. He was a lot better than I thought he was. I'm glad to say that I finally have a friend in college, and maybe even a crush as well.
