Chapter 11

Jacob's P.O.V.

The rest of the day was peaceful. 

No craziness happened, just me attending my classes, the lonely looser.

HOLD UP.

I wasn't a lonely looser anymore!

Well maybe a looser, yes, but lonely? Nope.

Apparently I had friends now.

Apparently, one of them hates me.

I still couldn't comprehend this whole situation. It had been forever since I had friends to hang out with.

Ever since I came out of the shiny closet to my friends, they deserted me. The only people I spent time with was my mom and my bullies.

Yeah, no unicorns, I know.

But now, I hung out with people who apparently liked me. Well except for one, of course.

I had been thinking about Kyle. 

Mayhaps I should talk to him and straighten things out that this guy isn't straight?

Lol that wasn't even funny, stahp.

I couldn't just tell him about me being gay. I couldn't. Not after everything I went through.

But I wanted him to know that I am no threat at all. I could never see Liz that way. She was all his.

But he would never believe me, especially since she had taken a huge liking to me.

Sigh.

Life was too hard these days.

"Hey!"

I was brought back to this weird orb called earth.

"You okay?"

It was Will. He was whispering to me.

"Uh? Yeah I'm fine. Just a little tired." I whispered back.

Wow, this is so weird and new to me.

I couldn't help but smile.

I had just whispered during class with my friend! How cool is that!

However, I was still looking at Will. 

Dang, way to make things weird.

I hastily looked away, hoping that he didn't think I came from Planet 675.

This indeed was a long day. 

William's P.O.V.

I was kinda unsure about today's movie.

Both of them had graciously told me about their side of this supposedly one-sided love story, but none took the efforts of telling me if I actually go along with them or not.

Do I?

Liz wants me there.

Kyle would murder me in my shower though.

Ugh. Why do I have to get stuck in this?

School was now over, it seemed like an unusually long day.

It had been quite an eventful day, hadn't it?

I just realized all the things that had happened.

My life is never that eventful.

Nice.

I still wasn't sure about the movie though.

"Hey, Kyle." I said as we were leaving the classroom.

"Yeah?"

"So do I come along or not today?"

"Um, I don't know?"

"Ugh, I don't wanna be a third wheel."

"Well, if she wants you to be there, it's obvious that she's rejecting me. I guess you should come along and just hang out together. Just a normal hangout."

"That sounds fine for me, but you?"

"What is there for me to say? I just have to accept it and go along with it. I'm fine with you coming."

"Hmm" I said, thinking.

"How about I invite Jacob too? It'll make things less awkward and will make the environment more of a just-friends-hanging-out instead of a guy-ruining-a-ship situation."

"A ship? Seriously?"

"You guys are cute, man. Anyways, I'm inviting him then, it's settled."

"Whatever." He muttered, not quite pleased.

He really doesn't like him huh. Oh well, they might bond or something or whatever.

It was settled then and I was finally free of making any awkward decisions.

Whoop!

We walked to our lockers to grab pur stuff to go home. Liz and even Jacob joined, Jacob looking a little uncertain.

The poor guy probably wasn't completely comfortable around us.

More like, he thought he was being a burden and annoying us with his presence.

My heart warmed. It was obvious that he isn't used to making friends and stuff. My instinct told me to go and make him feel welcomed.

"Hey, Jacob." I said, walking up to him, leaving Kyle and Liz together to walk.

"Yes?" He said, his pretty eyes blinking.

"Will you come with us to a movie tonight?" I was careful to make it sound like I wanted him to come rather than like I was asking him out of courtesy. Well, I did kind of need him there, you know, for company.

Even though Liz says she doesn't like Kyle like that, she obviously considers him special. They always end up talking to each other, making me feel a little left out. I didn't mind it though.

"Um, sure? I would love to!" He said after a moment of thinking, flashing a lovely smile at me. 

I'm sure girls would fall off their chairs if they looked at that smile. It was RADIANT.

I blinked, slightly flustered.

Now that's new.

"G-great! It's great that you'll j-join us!" I said, kicking and strangling myself mentally for stuttering.

"Awesome. What time?"

"8 pm, that's okay right?"

"Yup, sure is!"

I was now actually looking forward to this movie, though I don't think it was because of the actual movie. 

It was because of a certain someone with this heart stopping smile.
