the boy I fell for

the call

Oliver's POV

I came home from school and saw my mom left a note on my fridge. * -oliver, I've gone to the store to get stuff for the trip to your aunts, you have the choice to take the 3 day trip.--mom* " great I have to go to aunt Wanda's for a week." I had to find a way to stay home, I promised mack that we'd talk some afterschool" I thought to myself. I went up to my room and changed into different clothes and dug into my coat pocket to grab out the number he gave me. I dialed it * 937- 876- 0886* (not a real number btw) I held up the phone to my ear and listen to the dead silence of ringing for three tones. Eventually he picked up " hello this is mack speaking" I heard as the tone stopped mid ring. " hey mack its oliver from school, you told me to call you after school?" I said back into the phone. " oh yeah, hey um if possible could you meet me by the creek by little pike?" He asked " yeah, I'll be there in about 10ish minutes" I said waiting for a responce. " okay gotcha meet you there in 10" he said excitedly. " ight bet I'll make it in 5" I said to myself jokingly. I changed (again) into some cargo shorts and a t-shirt. After I got ready I took my two essentials that I brought everywhere except for school. My weed, and my lighter. I put the " essentials" in my pocket and ran downstairs and started walking down to the creek. " I'm sure mom wouldnt care if I was gone for awhile" I thought to myself while walking. I rounded the corner of the creek and I saw max sitting criss cross on a rock, facing the creek, looking around as if he thought I hadn't came. " hey mack" he looked back " hey!" He got up and walked towards me. He gave me a hug when he got close enough. Of course I gave him one back. We went back towards the rock and sat down facing the creek. " y'know oliver, I thought you were cute right when I layed eyes on you" he said, I blushed never thinking I'd hear that from anyone but my mom, of who was very awkward all the time. " oh really?" I asked "mhmm kinda awkward huh?" He said laughing a little " ok, have you ever met my mom? She is the embodiment of embarrasing" we both laughed for a bit " soooo you wanna go in the creek and look for random shit?" Mack asked " mack, of course I do" I said while jumping up in excitement. We both climbed into the creek and just looked for cool rocks and minos for about 5 minutes. I was trying to catch a mino when mack yelled for me " oliver! Come take a look at this! It's like a mini lobster!" He said excitedly I made my way over to mack, and saw this huge crawdad in his hands. " oh cool, you found a crawdad." I said trying to act smart " nice, it's like a mini lobster, I shall name him Larry, Larry the mini lobster." He said I turned to go back to the rock and sat down. Mack walked back over to the rock and sat down next to me.

Mack POV

Yay! This is going great and im starting get more and more attached to him, I know it's odd because we've only been talking for like 2 days but he has this illuminating feeling around him that just is so sweet and kind and loveable. I looked over a Oliver was itching, a lot. " is something wrong?" I asked " oh, yeah, suppose it be good to tell you now but, I smoke weed, a lot actually, it's kinda an addiction at this point" he said. I didnt care but he looked worried like I was gonna be mad or offended for some reason " are you ok, y'know with me smoking and what not?" He asked with a sort of shakiness in his voice. " yea, of course I am, why wouldnt I be? I mean I've been around worse addictions" I said reassuring him. " oh ok! Do you mind if I... smoke in front of you?" He asked. " go ahead, whatever helps you" I said. He reached into his pocket and grabbed out a little plastic bag with the " substance" in it. Pulled out his lighter and lit it. I just kinda stared forward and looked at the water and how it moved around the rocks. I saw oliver take a hit and just kinda lay back and enjoy the moment. He coughed a bit but I knew it was normal " you wanna try?" He asked already looking stoned. I mean, I had always wanted to try it but I never thought I'd get the opportunity. "Sure" I said I a little too willingly. He handed it to me and I replicated what i saw him do because i didnt exactly know how to do it. It felt weird but it was the good weird. " damn, you didn't even cough." I blew the smoke out and just relaxed. It burned but I've been through worse. He took another hit and he passed it back to me. After that we both just sat next to eachother a chilled on the rock laughing and saying stupid shit. I was stoned and I knew it. We had so much fun today, I wondered of we could actually be a thing. I looked at him and he look at me. We both laughed for a minute. " y'know oliver i had a lot of fun today, I was wondering if you would wanna come back here someti-" I was cut of by oliver grabbing my face and kissing me. I was shocked at first but slowly started to melt into the kiss. We pulled away and he looked at me like a deer in headlights " oh my god, I'm so sorry I wasnt thinking a- a- and" I cut him off by giving him a kiss back. It last for a out 5 seconds Nd we pulled away. " it's ok, dont overthink it too much. " wanna go to my house? It is getting kinda cold out here" he asked. I didnt know where this was going but I was willing to to take that chance. We started walking to Oliver's house hand and hand. " so are we like.... official now?" He asked me " I mean if you want to be" I replied " uh duh of course I wanna be with you, you're the reason why I ran into that wall the other day, because I was looking at you and not paying attention" he said. " I cant be that distracting" I said. We went into his house. " are your parents here?" I asked just in case " nah my mom went to the store and my dad.... well hes been gone for as long as I can remember...." he said, I felt bad for him. I knew what it was like not having a dad, even tho I had one it seemed like he was never there. " y'know my dad would come home, grab his drugs, and then leave with another skank while my mom was passed out drunk on the couch so I know what it feels like not having a dad." I said not trying to be rude. " yeah..." we walked up to his room and chilled in his bed watching old reruns of friends while we just sat there and made fun of what the characters did.
