The one that got away boyxboy

I am the one that got away

Even though I never intended to be.

I could've told them right there that I Jason Knight am in love with a man. But not any man no with the captain of our football team Harvey Williams. Yes, you heard right the Harvey Williams. Oh, they would've stared but no I ran away like the coward I am. I lost my soulmate my one and only, my reason to exist in this dull world

But let's start at the beginning, shall we?

First day of Junior year and I'm still stuck in this boring town.

But I will go as soon as I'm done with school none of these people will see my face ever again that's for certain.

I open the heavy doors while students left and right rush past me as if they were excited to go to class. My best mate Andrew walking beside me telling me all about his weekend which he spends partying with the rich folks like usual. While I just stayed in my room out of trouble readying a John Green novel.

The bell rings but we're still stuck in a sea of people. I honestly don't really care our first lesson is chemistry and our teachers always late. As the day progresses, I stick to Andrew while he greets all of his amazing friends who by the look of it still are hangover from Sunday. They talk about the upcoming football (as in soccer) match while I once again drift away. Them talking about Harvey as if he's the king of the school just because he scored some goals has always made me unconvertable for no reason at all.

After lunch period which Andrew and I spend outside discussing some theories about the Marvel universe (as much of a jock Andrew became, he is still the nerd I met in 5th grade) we head inside again for the rest of our afternoon classes. Between trying to stay awake and making notes nothing interesting has happened the whole day.

Since I still haven't gotten a driver licence (apparently you aren't supposed to drive over the pavement) Andrew is my driver. Which means that I usually sit on the bench and do my homework while he and the rest of the team train. And as much as I hate to say it some of these brain-dead idiots are hot.

After practice Andrew drops me of at my house. I live with my parents but since they are never home I kind of live alone. I put my school stuff in the living room blast some of Arctic Monkeys music through the house and suddenly feel the urge to do something. With the tiniest bit of motivation I take my running clothes and change in my bathroom. I don't like running but the felling afterwards is worth it.

Also, it is late, which means that I won't be seeing anyone I know while I'll be read as a tomato.

I start running, music blasting through my ears and adrenaline rushing through my body and I actually for the first time in my live feel free. Running up the hill is always the hardest part but the beautiful sunset amazes me every time. I slow down as soon as I'm on the top. My heavy breathing is slowing down while I look over my little town.

I hear footsteps approaching me and my first instinct is to turn and leave. But something is holding me back, not something a voice asking me clear and loud: "Mind if I join you?"

-thanks for reading the first chapter <3
