The next day we walked hand in hand to the bus. We decided to keep our relationship a secret and as soon as someone saw us we acted like friends. We didn't touch and definitely not kiss in school or any public place. Only when we came home or when we were for sure alone, we could kiss and cuddle. As soon as we stepped into the bus, we let go of each other. Acting like I wasn't in love with Clay was very difficult, but we preferred it that way for now.

'Georgie, you're zoned out.'

'Sorry.'

'Are you okay?'

I nodded. 'It's just d-difficult to act like I'm not in l-love with you.'

'It's difficult, but I think it's better for now.'

I nodded. 'True.'

'But I'm still so incredibly in love with you,' he whispered.

'Same.'

I was excited for after school. I would meet Clays best friend, Sapnap. Sap wanted to see me and meet me, so we decided to throw a meeting. I was excited to meet him, Clay told me he was very funny and nice.

The bus almost arrived at school and we stepped outside when it stopped. We held hands for the walk to school, but quickly broke apart when we saw the school coming closer. I saw Peter sitting on a bench outside and he came closer to us. Our hands had quickly separated and we looked at him.

'Were you holding hands? Faggots.'

'We weren't.'

'Bet you are freaking gay together.'

'Even if we were, it's none of your business.'

'It is, because it's disgusting and I don't want to be in the same area as two faggots.'

'We aren't faggots to start with, if we would be in a relationship with each other, we would be gay, not faggots. Don't even use that slur.'

'Do you admit you're a faggot?'

'What would you do if I would?'

'Beat the crap out of you. I dare you to fight me.'

'No thanks.'

'After school, or I will tell everyone you two are faggots.'

'We aren't.'

'You are and I know it for sure. After school.'

'Don't tell anyone we're gay.'

'So you admit.'

'I- no.'

'After school,' he said and he walked off.

'What do we do?' Clay whispered. 'It will be difficult if everyone knows we're gay together, but I'm not going to fight.'

'Sapnap was c-coming after school right?'

Clay nodded. 'He comes here.'

'He can't win a fight a-against us three.'

Clay nodded slowly and agreed. 'True.'

The bell rang, but we kept standing. Clay grabbed my shoulders and softly kissed my lips shortly. 'I love kissing you.'

'I'm so calm around you.'

'You almost never stutter.'

I smiled and nodded. 'That's all thanks to you.'

He grabbed my hand. 'Come, we should go inside before people start suspecting anything and we are too late for class.'

I nodded and we walked together to our class. Peter wasn't in this class luckily.

The day continued pretty calm. Clay and I didn't hold hands anymore, we only just acted like friends, just as before.

School ended quickly and we walked outside the school, waiting for Sapnap. It took ten minutes before he arrived and ran towards us. He fist bumped Clay and looked at me, he shook my hand and smiled.

'Hey, I'm Sapnap!'

'I'm G-G-George

'I'm so happy to see the love of my best friends life.'

I blushed a little and smiled. 'Nice t-to meet you t-too. Sorry, I-I-I-.' I sighed deeply and continued. 'S-stutter.'

'That's fine, dude. Take your time!'

'Thanks.'

Clay grabbed my hand and hid it so no one could see us hold hands, but Sap. He smiled. 'Cute.'

'Are you totally fine with us cuddling and such?' Clay asked.

'Why wouldn't I be?'

'Because we are gay.'

'So? Dude, I was fine with all your stories about kissing him, do you really think I'm suddenly not fine with it anymore.'

Clay blushed and looked at me. 'Sorry, I told him that.'

'I told my mum too.'

We both smiled and he looked around him. As soon as he noticed no one was around he shortly kissed my cheek.

'This is so cute. Clay, he is accepted.'

'Accepted?' I grinned.

'I don't want my best friend to get into a relationship with a boy whose a dick.'

'Did I p-p-pass?'

He nodded. 'You seem nice.'

'He is really cute and nice.'

Sapnap grinned. 'Clay is in love.'

'Shut up, of course I am. Do you know how cute he is?'

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and I startled. I held my breath and turned around. I felt my heart beating faster and I looked at the person in front of me. Peter.
