Andrew's POV:
"Ew that's so creepy" Ryland began searching around and Morgan just flumped herself onto the bed.
"This is the nicest room I'v been inn!"
Morgan chuckled at Garrett's comment and jut slowly said "Sameee"
Shane seemed to finally snap back into reality as you heard a small "That's sad. Now it was my turn to giggle and e'd gotten a few people that were like in love with my laugh or something haha so I'd stopped editing it out.
And ever since the 'Meet My Cameraman' video, I'd gotten more comfortable having my identity known by millions of people. Shane seemed quite freaked out by the closet and I found it bloody terrifying when he told us that he was gonna go inside and see if anything happened. We were all quietly waiting outside the closet door when Shane came out and not to sound but he looked shook.
"Did one of you tap on the door"
Garrett was holding Shane's night vision camera and he looked confused but answered for all of us and said "No, no-one tapped on it"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah you can watch it back"
I was confused as hell and that only intensified when I heard a small knock and Shane seemed to hear it too because he jumped and turned toward the door.
"I heard it, did no one hear that?"
No one said anything and just shook their heads but I whispered "I heard it"
Shane gave everyone the 'see I'm not crazy' glare and my heart rate quickened as goosebumps arose on my skin and I slyly took a step back. I fucking hated these things, it was stupid to go looking for this shit. But I might have a harsher opinion on this stuff ever since a group of boys locked me in a dark closet and no one found me for hours.
*flashback*
"HELP, HELPPPP"
I sank to the floor and started crying. I looked up however when I heard the lock turn and a young girl stood there. She was my age. I know her name but that's about it.
"Are you okay Andrew?" Wait she knew my NAME, everyone just called me gay boy or prissy so it felt different for someone to use my actual name. For gods sake your 17 Andrew Siwiki, man up! I sniffed and rubbed my tears before walking up to her.
"I am now Elora, cheers". I go to walk out but she follows me and I get suspicious.
"That's it Siwiki? I save your ass from getting locked here all night and you say cheers? That's harsh man". I actually laugh at her comment and stop walking to look at her before sarcastically saying "Oh my God thankyou Lane from saving me. Whatever would I do without you?" She actually fuckingg wheezed at my reply and managed to finally choke out "Well factually you would've been stuck in a closet".
I smirk and think of what to say now, I can't go home till late anyways so I might as well TRY and make a friend. "Do you wanna o to a diner?"
"Ooo asking me out Siwiki?"
"Oh well forget it then." I continued walking but I stopped when I heard her snort. I turned around and became amused to see her gasping for breath. It must've been contagious because sooner or later, I was laughing too. "I was joking Siwiki, I'l-I'll go to the diner with-with you" This girl was really outta breath from laughing.
*time skip to them in the diner*
"You should stand up for yourself Siwiki."
"With what bodily strength?" I tried to remain serious but I just ended up laughing when she began to crack up. I sipped my milkshake quietly whilst she dived into the fries. My gay ass went into panic mode when she came closer to me and I MEAN this when I say I freaked out because I fricking YELLED "Wait I'm gay!" She proceeded to withdraw the ketchup bottle that was on my side of the table and gave me the most confused look ever.
What if she tells everyone. Everyone's gonna know!
"Ummmm, thank you for notifying me?"
"Me too." I looked at her in shock but then gave a sigh of relief. I wasn't THAT surprised to be honest. Elora was the gothic badass of the school so she automatically gave off butch vibes. I can't believe the first person I had told about my sexuality was Elora AND that it was because my mind thought she was gonna kiss you.
You fuckin idiot
But now it was time for my body to actually go into panic mode when I saw them. The "bullies" of the school that everyone was terrified of. Elora however, seemed to just adjust her position so she looked more intimidating. Annnd... YES of course they walked up to us.
"Look boys, benders got a girlfriend." I went to say something but Elora stood up and WHAT THE FUCK SHE WAS TALLER THAN BRANDON?!?!
"It might interest you to know asshole that benders 'girlfriend' is a fucking bender too." Anyone looking at the scene would've seen how much I looked like a goldfish gaping for oxygen whilst I looked at the situation. "I'm sure you're not a lesbo love, just give me a night."
"Why would I want to fuck you when your girlfriend seems so much more tempting" The fact that when she said this she looked straight at Brandon's girlfriend with a smirk on her face made the situation so much cooler.
Apparently Brandon had nothing to saw as he stood there, looking paler than the seat behind him. The only thing he seemed to be able to say was a weak "See you benders at school" before leading his group away and completely out of the diner. Elora just sat down and put a fry in her mouth She looked completely unbothered by the encounter that had just nearly given me a heart attack.
*flashback over*
"Hey Andrew" I looked up from the ground to look at Garrett. Everyone had gone to bed until 3am so we can have energy to explore. I sat up on the couch to find that Garrett had taken the mattress from the weird maid room by the door and I internally chuckled.
"Yes Garrett?"
He responded by patting the spot he'd made on his bed. I took the hint and moved off the couch and next to hi on the bed. We didn't lay down or anything, we talked about random shit. After a while we were laid on out backs but faces turned so we could still quietly speak to each other. It was honestly intoxicating to look at his face and I began to realise that we were both leaning in closer to each other. My breathing hitched as out lips connected. I thought my body was going to freeze like it always did but my hand made its way to Garret's face and cupped it.
The feeling of his soft lips against mine was overwhelmingly good. Sparks ignited inside the pits of my stomach as the kiss deepened and our lips moved in synchronisation.
I think I- I think I love him.
