A New Beginning

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Meetup

This is a long chapter to make up for the many days of inactivity.

GEORGE POV

TIME CHECK: 12: 31 PM

George did not know whether to feel ecstatic or anxious. However, he is glad that he's in the car right now with two of his best friends accompanying him. With that thought in his mind, the feeling of happiness starts surging into him that he gets to hang out with people he loves. They are now in the car, 30 minutes away from the designated place that they are supposed to go. Furthermore, he gets to go out and see more of Florida. That will be the first small he ever go to in this country. Since Clay always gives George the aux, Nick couldn't have the chance to snatch it. Nick didn't mind, though. George's song choices are always his types as well. The ongoing song in the car right now is "How A Heart Unbreaks" by Evermoist.

George enjoys car rides a lot. It is always hectic but fun. George loves looking at the scenery flashing by. Especially the beautiful glistening ocean under the scorching sun, the trees, the bright weather. While he is here, he can forget all the bad past. He looks over to the two, who is now quarrelling about the most stupid stuff. If I were to lose these two, I don't know what will happen to me. George smiles as the song "Happiest Year" by Jaymes Young plays. The car trip comes to an end as they set foot outside of the mall. 

The mall entrance is also filled with a roll of trees. The mall is huge, pack with many people walking inside and outside. Of course, those people stared at the three attractive people that have just made their entrance. The mall itself seems high class as there are many famous brands located inside.

Clay looks over to his phone, which shone 01:01 PM. "Georgie, you should text him whether he's here." George nods and obliged while Nick starts fanning himself for the hot weather. "He's already here," George said, and they start searching for the tall man with black hair. Shortly, a tall young man with black hair starts walking towards them, waving at them as well. There is a slight change this time. He isn't wearing his mask this time. His handsome features shone under the sun. George definitely has the thought that Corpse is attractive. However, he looks back at Clay and smile. He's definitely hotter. However, George can see that Clay is not looking really happy about it. George went to Clay's ears and whispered, "You're hotter, I said already.". Clay's face immediately went red.

George loves teasing Clay. He already has a feeling that Clay has feelings for him too. He didn't know how to confess, though. What if he doesn't like it and I imagine too much?

"Hello guys, hope you guys didn't wait long." Corpse said apologetically. 

"We didn't. We just arrived as well." George answers back while the other two smiles back. 

"There are one more people that I called to tag along. I hope you guys won't mind since I didn't ask for permission. You guys definitely know each other as well." Corpse said.

"It's alright. The more, the merrier. I'm also curious who is this guy you're talking about." Nick cheered, and all of them chuckled. "You'll see." 

After five minutes of sitting on the bench, the group could see a browned hair boy running towards them. Clay and Nick take notice and immediately knows who it is. "Nick, It's Karl." Clay said.

"I can see that." Nick smiles very widely. It's the first time George sees Nick smiling so widely. He's still curious, though. "Guys, who are Karl?"

"A guy Nick simps for."

"Shut up," Nick said shyly, not denying the fact, though. Corpse just watched as all these unfolds, laughing at the sight of it. Unknowingly heard something he shouldn't have heard. However, Nick didn't seem to mind that Corpse heard it. Karl finally makes his way there, hugging everyone first, even George. "I'm sorry that I'm late," Karl said. He's cute. "It's okay! We didn't wait that long at all. You look good." Nick said, simply for him already while the other three laughs at him. Karl didn't get what is going on, though. "Thank you, you look good too. It's been so long since we met. I miss you so much.".
