Charlies pov:

School had finished... it was Friday... and that meant it was time for rugby... I was really scared as ill be honest I'd never done rugby before... I didn't know the rules and I didn't really like sports in general, whenever I went into the boys changing rooms there were alyways mutters about like (hey charlies gay yk what if he's looking at me) and it really annoyed me because I didn't like any of those boys with their stinking bastardy homophobic attitudes
anyways..  now I've gotta go to rugby practice... the only reason I agreed was to hang with nick because he was like my best friend... and I didn't really want to let him down...
So I walked as slow as I could to the boys changing rooms
Just before I got in I already heard people talking about how bad I'd be at rugby or whatever and the fact I was so little I wouldn't be able to tackle anyone because I was as light as a feather or... the worst was "hahaha he'll probably blush if he fell onto a boy... he's gay so it's not a surprise if he'd do that"
But... regardless of all of the nasty comments i walked into the room...
Suddenly it fell silent...
Even if I wasn't there at that moment hearing that convo... I would have knew they were talking about me...

Anyways ignoring everything that happened I got dressed and asked nick if he could help me
He said... Well I want to see what you've got first... show me your running...
So I ran 69 metres... I was extremely slow and ran out of breath...

Nick then said... yeah... I knew you wouldn't be able to do any of this... I knew u just wanted to hang with me...
Then he hugged me...
It lasted for more than 10 seconds... was this more then a friends hug? I didn't know but anyways .... I just avoided the thought...
Nick uhen told me... hey ill teach u the ways... I'm sure you'll figure it out...
That was so sweet of him!

So... time to learn how to tackle me...
Yeah!
So... run and push me then lock your arms to the sides of me...got it? Nick asked
I replied yes...
READY! GO! Nick shouted
Then I did...
I landed on top of him and then Nick started giggling...
Hey that's enough tackling for today... then he got up and rubbed his head
And walked away

It was the end of the training session anyways... it had already been 30 mins!
So I went back to change
Then yeah... I went home and nick texted me:
Hey nice training session today, I enjoyed it ♡
Wait... what was the heart 4?
Anyways I replied:
Thank you ♡ cya Monday <3

Wait... it all came to me... I started to like nick... and even though... he's "straight" I think he likes me back! The hug... the tackle shyness... it all makes sense now...

Wow! That was so cool! But... I wasn't gonna get my hopes up because... what if he was really straight and just imagining things... that's what I did half the time...
