✿ Chapter Fifteen

NATHANN'S POV

I can finally go back to university and well, I'm not glad about it. I just wanna laze around my house and not stress about assignments and schoolwork, geez.

Grabbing a freshly cooked grilled cheese from the table, I ran off the house after bidding my family a goodbye.

The warm air from the outside world was like a slap on the face. I barely came out the house when I had to stay because my vomiting became worse and worse. But these days, my stomach's been calm and my breathing was okay, so... Good news?

I entered the gates and immediately my gaze landed on Geordi who was sitting on the bench by the flagpole. I ran up to him and he looked up but he fixed his stuff and walked away.

What? He clearly saw me... Why did he go?

"Hey, Nathann?" Someone called out from behind,

"Can I talk to you? About... About Geor?" Fredrick asked and instead of letting me answer, he pulled me to the back of the university, which was, pretty huge.

He stopped and turned around, looking at me with a serious face but his expression softened when he finally opened his mouth.

"This is the last time I'm asking you. You like Geor, don't you?" He asked and I could feel my heart flattering as Geor's name was mentioned,

"N-No I don--"

"Oh, Nathann. Who do you think you're fooling? Certainly not me."

"Fine. I do. I'm sorry, okay? I knew he's already taken and yet I'm here, liking him. And talking to his boyfriend, who will certainly punch me." I gave in, expecting a painful blow on my jaw or stomach, but there was nothing, only a muffled laugh,

"Well, I was certainly not expecting you to be gay, but... That's fine I guess." He smiled genuinely,

"You're not mad?" He shook his head,

"Nah, it's okay. Weird but yeah."

"But-"

"Though, Geor's not gonna be happy about this." He said softly,

"Well obviously. He doesn't want to get taken away from his precious boyfie."

"Not just about that, Nathann. And stop that attitude, geez.

What I'm saying is, if he knew you have feelings for him, he'll certainly blame himself. Why? Because he's the reason you're suffering." He explained and I could feel myself tense up,

"Oh..." Was all that left my mouth,

"So let's keep this between us, alright?"
