Elijah watched the clock slowly tick during his math class.

Why doesn't he want to talk to me? What did I do wrong?

"Alright class that's all for today." Mrs.Patel dismissed everyone and Elijah was quick to pack up his things and head straight for the nurse's office.

He peeked his head inside and noticed that all of the cots and chairs were empty.

"Hello, can I help you with something?" The nurse asked nicely.

"Oh- um.. Is Haejun here? I have his math homework."

"Oh no, he left a while ago." The nurse smiled at him politely as he left the room.

Damn it Haejun. Elijah rushed to the class he knew Haejun had at this time and saw that the male was already seated in his desk.

Haejun and Elijah made eye contact for a moment, but Haejun quickly looked away and back down at his work.

With a sigh, Elijah turned to get to his own class, the bell was about to ring anyways.

The rest of Elijah's classes passed by agonizingly slow. But he knew for a fact that cheer was practicing outside again, so he would definitely see Haejun. He just hoped Haejun wouldn't try and escape him again.

Elijah watched the clock tick for the last class and finally, the bell rang.

Just as he was about to run out the door and leave for practice, he felt a hand grab the hem of his shirt.

"What-"

"Elijah, are you okay?" Julian asked nervously.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine." Elijah's tone was rushed. I need to get to the locker room while he's changing..

"Okay well, Lucas and I haven't really seen you so we were kind of worried."

Elijah sighed,"Trust me, I'm fine. Let's go to practice, okay? And if something bad does happen, then I'll tell you guys. I've just been busy with a math project." Among other things..

"Okay.. If you say so then I'll believe you." Julian spoke and released Elijah's shirt. "I just- we just missed you, that's all." Julian spoke and Elijah ruffled his hair.

"Thanks Jules." Elijah put an arm around Julian's shoulders and the two of them made their way to practice.

After a quick change, they were on the field practicing like usual. When they finally got their break, Elijah assessed the cheerleaders.

Good. He's there.

"Hey Elijah." A voice spoke. Elijah looked up from his spot on the bleachers to see Evan.

"What do you want, Evan?"

"I don't get why you're looking at the cheerleaders when Alisa isn't yours anymore." He smirked.

"You're acting like there's no other cheerleader on the team. Back off Evan. You got the girl, I don't care."

Evan looked aggravated at the lack of response and just turned around to leave.

Annoying asshole..

Elijah watched Haejun do another stunt in awe. He missed the male. And it was weird because they spoke not even 24 hours ago.

But Elijah felt deprived of the boy he had fallen for.

Finally practice was over and Elijah rushed to get to the locker rooms on time so he could catch Haejun.

He changed quickly and waited until Haejun entered, wearing his usual spandex and a t-shirt.

"Haejun." Elijah spoke in an angry tone

"Oh!" Haejun jumped and turned to leave but Elijah grabbed Haejun's wrist.

"I'm not letting you get away from me."

"I don't want to hear your rejection Elijah, please."

Elijah was about to say something else when his teammates started to enter the lockerroom.

But Elijah didn't let Haejun's wrist go."I'm not letting you escape Haejun. You change right now and we're going to talk."

With a blush, Haejun stripped himself in front of Elijah and Elijah realized he should probably be looking away.

Elijah turned his back to Haejun and when Haejun finished he tapped Elijah's shoulder.

Elijah, fed up, grabbed Haejun's hand and pulled him past everyone, out of the school, and into his own car. Both of them sat there for a moment with the doors closed as they faced forward and stared at the school.

"Elijah.." Haejun whispered.

"Haejun I like you too." Elijah spoke, turning his head to face Haejun.

"I really don't want to hear the rejection yet so- wait what?"

"You idiot. Look at your phone."

Haejun nervously took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the texts.

Haejun looked back at Elijah with teary eyes. "I'm sorry."

Elijah sighed,"It's okay." He cupped Haejun's cheek,"Now.. we both like each other.. can we date?"

"Like.. become boyfriends?"

"That's what dating is, isn't it?"

".. You mean it?"

"Yes Haejun.."

"Yes! Let's date!"

Haejun smiled brightly and leaned over the console in an attempt to hug Elijah. Elijah just laughed and pulled away to kiss Haejun's cheek.
