Hooked

Chapter 2, part 1

This is the second part to chapter one, sorry for the late update, I'll try to update every Thursday or so.

After I had left to go to the kitchen, leaving the others gawking, I grabbed the soda from the fridge and leaned against the opposite counter. I popped open the soda and started to drink when Charli had come into the room. 'It's... just me and her in this room... alone...' I thought, blushing a slight bit. I looked over at her, only to catch her staring back. I didn't dare break eye contact, not until Thalia went to get the Pizza Rolls from the oven, and even though my stomach was craving food, I didn't have an appetite.
   "Do you want some, Tok?" Thalia asked me. "No, thank you" I politely replied.
   Thalia left the room, leaving me and Charli to our lonesome. "You've been staring at me all this time, but you haven't said a thing" Charli broke the silence, "Am I that scary?" "No!" I quickly responded, "i don't think you're scary" she blinked, "Then why haven't you tried to talk to me?" I looked down at my feet. "It's because I have severe social anxiety, it makes it hard to talk to people I don't know" Atsila shouted from the living room, "FUCK YOU!" and some crashes came from the room. "I gotta go see what the retard is doing now," I said, leaving Charli in the kitchen.
    I speed-walked to the living room, to find Atsila and Jack had gotten into another fight, I got in between them, and separated them. "What the hell is wrong with you today?" I asked Atsila, "Stop sucking up to these women here, you're in a relationship." I looked to Jack, "and stop encouraging him!" Atsila glared at me, while Jack went to go look at memes with Cody, Thalia sat there, staring at me, and Theo was on Instagram, scrolling through memes. I plopped down on the couch and sighed, it was about 3 in the afternoon, and I was already tired. Atsila's phone started ringing, it was his father. He went outside to talk to his father, undisturbed.
    He came back in about 5 minutes later, "I need to get back home soon, or Dad's gonna beat my ass." So we all got up and got ready to head back, except that Thalia was coming too. Charli couldn't go because she had work, of which I could see Cody's face become a little sadder. Thalia went through the back door, while the rest of us went through the front. I went out last, and Charli stopped me at the door, leaned in for a kiss, but I stopped her and said, "I'm sorry, but, I'm gay." And her lustful face becomes all the more longing as I walked out the door.

Again, I'm sorry for the late update, and the short chapter, I've been caught up on some things I've been doing the past few days and haven't gotten the chance to write... T^T
