•Chapter 7•

Walking to his friend's dorm, Pavitr thought of Hobie and the stranger he'd seen him with. Who were they? And why did Pavitr feel like the most fun thing right now would be to commit vehicular manslaughter on them? He didn't know, but he sure was scared to think about it.

After a few more minutes of walking and less than legal thoughts, Pav got to Gwens dorm and knocked briskly on the door. Gwen opened it after a moment, and upon seeing Pavitr she moved forward and hugged him tight.

"Oh my.. Pav you look terrible! What happened?"

"Wow! Thanks Gwen." Pavitr respoded sarcastically, backing up from the hug and watching as she looked him up and down before walking back inside her dorm with Pavitr following her.

Her dorm was indentical to his own as he walked through the living area. Her room was nicely decorated, a mixture of different colours and textures while somehow seeming one uniform way. Miles was sat on her bed with his legs crossed while she sat on the edge. Pavitr sat on the bean bag opposite the beg, crossing his ankles and bending his knees to rest his chin on them.

"So, what happened?" Gwen spoke, looking over at Pavitr as he sat holding his knees on the beanbag.

"Well uh, first, i got a detention, and met this guy in there, right? And when i left he gave me his number despite it being only like 20 minutes after we met- his name was Hobie, Hobie Brown."

Miles sat straight up, looking at Pavitr with a knowing look on his face.

"Hobie?! Hobie Brown?! The Hobie Brown?! You sure man? Tall, punk style, really big hair, a bazillion piercings-?"

"Yea, thats definitely him, why?"

"He is the most well known person here?! Him and his best friend, Quinn Jackson. He's literally everyones schoolgirl crush, just about nobody can get that lucky though, girls and guys alike praise the ground he walks on. I kinda dont blame them tho.."

"Miles! You have a girlfriend!" Gwen said laughing, looking back at him and hitting him with a pillow.

"I know i know!" Miles ducked and put his hands up in surrender "But even you have to admit he's hot, look at him!" Miles pulled up a picture of him on his phone.

"Wait, Miles your.." Pav did a wrist flick thing, implying Miles liked guys

"Yea, im Bisexual, i like girls and guys." Miles responded

"Wait- thats a thing?"

"You didn't know bisexuals existed?! Pav, im bisexual!!" Gwen spoke before Miles could respond.

"I didnt know liking both was an option! If i had, i would've-" Pavitr stopped himself. He didnt even know what he was going to say. What would he have done?

"Yea, there's loads of options bro. Theres gay and lesbian but theres also Bi, Pan, Omni, and loads more!" Miles said, moving forward to sit nearer the edge of the bed.

"I.. what are those..?"

"Bi is both, duh, Pan is anything, gender doesnt really matter, and Omni is kinda just Pan but you have a preference."

"Wait.. so if you liked everyone but prefered the opposite gender, could you think you were straight...?"

"Yea! Most people grow up thinking they're straight."

"Wait- Pav, where's this coming from?" Gwen said, looking at her- what she thought was- straight friend.

"I.. i might be that.." Pav said, hesitantly. He'd considered being gay, but he felt nothing looking at guys, but he thought girls were really pretty, so he didn't think he was gay.

That was before he met Hobie.

Hobie had him questioning things about himself he never had before, mainly his attraction to women. He thought Hobie was cool. Cooler than anyone he'd ever met. He felt things for Hobie that he'd never felt for anyone and he'd only known him a day.

"Whoa, what makes you think you might be queer?"

".. queer?"

"Basically means homosexual, now please explain, im dying over here!" Gwen responded excitedly. She'd been theorising about Pavs sexuality forever, and her personal guess was on Omni, but lucky for her she was going to find out.

"I think i might.. how do i say it- like..? Well, you know what i mean"

"Yes but who bro??" Miles said, equally as curious as Gwen

"..Hobie."

"Ah, we are but one in the same." Miles said dramatically, unsurprised at the answer.

"What do you mean?"

"My gay awakening was Hobie, you'll get over it, sad to say you aint got a chance bro."

Pavitr looked down in disappointment. Miles was right, Hobie was too good for him.

"Wait! He got Hobies number in like, twenty minutes? That means a chance, right?"

"Yea but-"

"Miles is right, I dont have a chance." Pavitr said, sadness evident in his tone.

Miles and Gwen simultaneously whipped their heads around to look at him.

"Hobies with someone. I saw them..."

"Saw them what?!"

"Making out. On the couch."

"Oh" Gwen and Miles both looked disappointed, and in heavy pity of Pavitr. This poor guy, first ever guy crush and he finds him snogging someone else a few hours later.

"Hey, its gonna be okay, Pav." Gwen said, placing a comforting hand of Pavitr's shoulder.

"Thanks.. anyway, can we change the subject?"

They ended up talking for hours, until they realised it had gotten quite late, and Pavitr and Miles had to return to their rooms.

Going their separate ways, Miles and Pav waved goodbye and began walking to their respective dorms.

Though, Pavitr didnt get that far before he was stopped.

"Hey! Your Pavitr right?"

Pavitr looked up from his phone, hearing his name, when he saw the last person he could've wanted to that night.

"Thats me. Your Quinn, if im correct?"

"You are. Can i walk with you?"
