*Cole's Perspective*
"Can you two shut the fuck up?" A noticeably pissed off Blake turns around and snaps at us.
Since Sir was insistent in Nick and I becoming parters he said we'd get detention if we didn't walk by each others side. He was still pretty pissed off about the fight last night. So I tried making conversation with Nick but he was too stubborn today to talk.
Then he started snapping back and before I knew it him and I were bickering back and forward.
"Sorry Blake , Cole just doesn't know how to shut his mouth" Nick says
"Well sorry for trying to lighten the mood" I say
We walk for a few more minutes and I start humming. It was soothing for me. I stopped when I noticed Nick looking at the view. He stopped walking and was staring into the open. Many of our other classmates passed us until it was just me and him.
I stand next to him rocking back and forward on my feet.
"Whatcha doinggg" I tease
"For someone like you, you sure are a complicated person" Nick says surprisingly calm.
"What you mean?" I ask
"I mean one second your being a outright dick to everyone next minute your being normal" he says still looking out into the open.
"I dunno maybe I'm bi polar?" I shrug
"Something like that" Nick chuckles to himself
"So" I start off
"Are you and Harry actually a thing? Sorry for assuming so" I say
"Cole Harvey apologising? That's a new one" Nick says
"Shut up and answer the question" I chuckle
"Well, I don't know. Don't get me wrong he's cute as hell"
I agree with Nick's statement on that one
"But I fucked up with going and hooking up with his ex. Thing is, I needed a distraction and I didn't want to just use Harry for that. I have too much respect for that little guy" Nick says as we walk
"But really? His ex, cmon that's low"
"I know" Nick says
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you need to distract yourself" I ask genuinely curious to the answer
"Last night was the 3 anniversary of my sisters death" he lets out
"Shit, fuck I'm sorry man" I say
Nick just shrugs and we keep walking
"I've been such a dick to you" I say
"It's fine you didn't know" Nick says
We both continue to walk in silence for a bit. Listening to the ground crunch underneath our shoes.
When we reach the top of the hill we find all the other campers and a quite pissed off Mr. King
"You boys need to stick with the group" he sternly says
"Sorry sir, Cole and I are good now" Nick says
"Okay good, but don't leave the group on the way down" sir says
We couldn't see where our friends are so we decided to sit by ourselves next to a sign that had information about the trail on it.
"Want some?" Nick offers me a strawberry from the container he pulls out.
"Sure" I say taking one and popping the whole thing in my mouth
We sit there eating for a bit until I see Harry. I was going to invite him over but he looked like he was already occupied.
"That Mikey kid with him" Nick points snapping my attention
"Yeah?"
"They look good for each other, doesn't look like Mikey has any baggage like we do" Nick says
"That's true" I say watching Harry laugh at something Mikey was showing him on his phone.
"What do you think of Mikey ?" I ask Nick
"Definitely has my approval if Harry wants to go there, I like the kid" Nick says now munching away on a salad.
It was true, those two looked like they'd be end game. It kind of made me a bit jealous. If he wanted Harry I'm sure Harry would go for it. Mikey was undoubtedly extremely hot. Although he does look identical to Blake. I guess my childhood friend Blake is hot too
"Hey Nick?"
"Mm?"
"How did you know you were gay?" I ask
"I just didn't really feel a attraction to girls I guess" Nick shrugs
"How about you? When did you realise you were into guys also ?" He asks
"Want the honest answer?" I ask
"Oh god it's unholy isn't it Cole"
"Well, I had a dream where I had to choose between fucking Harry and fucking my girlfriend at the time. I chose Harry in that dream, woke up and my bed was wet"
"Okay yeah nice one Cole aha" Nick awkwardly says.
We both look at each other then crack up laughing
"Hey Nick?" I ask
"Yeah?"
"Can we cut our shit, I miss the old us like in primary school, we were inseparable" I say
"I know Cole" he starts "I even still have the picture of us two from grade 4 Halloween where we dressed up as vampires" he says
"Your not a bad guy you know" Nick says now looking at me
"You either I say back to him"
I don't know why I did it. But there was something so compelling about Nick right then and there. The way he looked at me with the afternoon sun casting over his face. I placed my hand behind his head and started to pull him into me. I moved my face closer to his and connected our lips. I thought he'd stop me or even punch me but he leaned into the kiss. Before I knew it he took control. His lips over mine , he was so gentle yet I thought his tough exterior wouldn't be. He tasted like strawberries and his lips were soft. Not as soft as Harry's but still soft none the least.
We both pulled back at the same time when Nick looked and my lips and laughed to himself a bit.
"Your lip is bleeding" he says bringing his thumb up to wipe the blood
"I really hope my cousin didn't see that"
Both Nick and I move our heads to turn around and look behind us so quickly. Hunter standing there with his arms crossed
"First of all, Nick you made out with Marco last night, that upset Harry, and really? Cole also someone else Harry supposedly liked? You have no class and I'm actually disappointed in you" Hunter says. I notice Victor behind him looking like he'd rather be anywhere else.
"And for you Cole, the fights you start with Nick over what? Being jealous and wanting Harry to yourself " Hunter says glaring directly at me
"Anyways not my business, but the second my cousin gets hurt, I won't be the only one you'll have to worry about" Hunter says to the both of us then pointing at Jace standing a bit down the hill.
"Jace already wants your head especially Nick" Hunter says
Hunter and Victor leave when Jace announces on his megaphone that it's time to head back down
I look at Nick and he doesn't look at me but I'm certain he knows I'm staring at him
"Let's just go" he says keeping his teeth together when he spoke
And with that we follow our instructed group
