Clays POV
Hi, my names Clay, allow me to introduce myself.

I'm one of the popular kids at my school, but not like a cliche jock, I'm popular because people like me, my personality and even my looks, and I somehow know pretty much everyone, there's always some girl trying to get my attention or my 'friends' dragging me to party's, I get straight A's, I'm seen as perfect and I never do anything wrong. But everyone knows that.

They don't know that I'm loosing motivation by the second, they don't know about the countless insecurities, they don't know what happens at home, they don't know the reason why I wear long sleeves in the boiling Florida weather, they don't know that I've fallen for a certain someone but people would be disgusted if they knew, they don't know that I hate attention, they don't know that I prefer being introverted, they don't know shit about me.

I sat there sobbing on my bathroom floor, the door locked as I try to block out the yelling, I was listening to music to try and calm myself, when my 'best friend' texted me.

How're you doing?

I sighed and debated telling him

Not great. Parents are fighting again.

Do you wanna call?

I don't think I can even speak coherently rn, lol thanks though

Do you want me to keep texting? You're my best friend and I don't like when you're sad :(

My heart stung at his words "best friend" I just wish I was good enough, good enough for him and myself, but I was just left with a feeling of emptiness, a loss of worth and the realization that I was alone.

No, it's ok. You're probably busy.

I'm never too busy for you, I love and care about you so so much

That at least gave me a little hope, but I know he meant it in a different way, I couldn't even respond.

Hello? Clay?!? Are you ok?

Clay did I say something wrong?

Clay please respond I'm worried

I'm calling you

As much as I wanted to decline the call something pulled me to answer it, I did but I stayed silent.

"Clay what did I do, are you ok?"

I sucked in a breath

"I'm fine...I just don't know.." I said shakily mumbling the last part, the tears probably evident in my voice

"What? Please speak up"

"It's nothing" I assured him

"Ok, I'm glad to know you're fine, is there anything I can do to make you good?" He spoke in a concerned voice

"No, not really, I'm gonna take a nap"

"Ok, I love you"

"...love you too" I said hesitantly before hanging up and going into my bedroom, burying my face into my blanket, covering my ears with a pillow and letting myself practically drown in my duvet.

I wish he just felt the same as me, I guess I'll never know unless I ask, but it could ruin our friendship and he could out me to everyone at our school, it was so risky but...maybe it was worth it, I could just text him, turn off my notifications, nap and deal with it later.

Sorry I was being weird earlier, I love you, just not how you think, I'm going to sleep, text you when I wake up

I just sighed and switched my phone to silent and tried to sleep, it was hard at first because I was a little antsy but it happened eventually.
