Chapter 5

I walk up to Elizabeth's porch and ring the doorbell. She answers within a couple seconds.

"Hey Johnnie. Glad you could make it," she gives me a quick hug then ushers me inside.

There has to be at least 20 people there already. I follow her into the kitchen. She grabs some snacks for us. Everyone else is chatting and there is music playing softly in the background. I see a couple people with what looks like soda and water in there hands. I think to myself, this party isn't at all what I expected. I expected it to be wild. Elizabeth hands me a cheese cube.

"This party, it's not crazy," I tell her.

"Oh you just wait Johnnie," she winks.

"Where are your parents?" I question.

"They're on a trip for the weekend," she explains, "I get the house all to myself. Well and a few others."

If I ever did this I would be dead.

"Hmm, alright," I shrug.

Somebody turns the music up louder. Elizabeth hands me a soda. I take it then we head into the living room. A group of people walk into the house. The guy in front catches my eye. He's wearing a blue shirt with black skinny jeans, and some low top converse.

"Hey guys!" Elizabeth greets them, "wow Kyle I haven't seen you in what seems like forever!"

she gives Kyle a hug.

"This is my friend Johnnie," she introduces me.

I stand there taking in his beauty. What the fuck Johnnie? He puts out a hand after a minute.

"Nice to meet you, man," he smiles at me.

I smile back at him, taking his hand in mine. He has a firm grasp. I shake his hand then let go.

"So you and Kyle want to hang together, Johnnie? I was going to show the others around the house. Don't worry I won't be gone long," she asks.

"Oh...sure," my voice cracks. God dammit.

Kyle smiles at me. He does have an amazing smile. Elizabeth and the others go into the backyard while Kyle and I go into the living room. We take a seat on the couch.

"So how'd you and Elizabeth meet?" he asks.

"Oh well we were at school and I opened her locker for her. I also live right down the street, so we ride the bus together occasionally," I play with a thread on my shirt.

"Hmm, fair enough," he chuckles, "I met her last year, but I moved into the next town over so I go to a new school now. We see eachother at parties most of the time since I left."

He puts out his hand and places them on mine, "stop playing with that thread. You're going to unravel your shirt," he laughs.

My face blushes a little.

"I get that you're shy, but you dont have to be like that around me," he grins.

"You know you look oddly familliar," Klye squints his eyes at me.

Oh no what if he's watched my videos before and that's where he has seen me from.

I laugh nervously. Elizabeth comes back into the living room.

"Told you I wouldn't be gone for long," she laughs, "Johnnie can you come into the kitchen with me?"

She grabs my hand and pulls me into the kitchen.

"I know we've only known eachother for like two days now, but you seem like a good guy so I'm going to let you in on a "secret"," she motions her fingers, "Kyle is gay."
