[BoyxBoy] ✓ I Fell In Love With An Emo Boy

45. SMILE

We were having breakfast and it was.. awkward to say the least. Joe couldn't have heard us last night but still it felt weird.

"Everything okay? You two nervous to go back to school?" Joe asked.

"Nah." I said and T simply shook his head. All three of us took a simultaneous bite of our pancake.

"Uh.. well.. Good luck?" Joe said.

"Thanks." I answered.

T nodded again.

Joe shook his head. "Kids." He mumbled as he left the house.

The second he closed the door Timothy said: "Do you think he noticed?"

"How could he not get doubts with you acting so obvious!" I smacked his head.

"Hey, it's not like you said anything."

"Yeah, yeah, shut up." I scooped Timothy up in my arms and carried him out the door.

We made it to school and even though everyone knew I was living with him I still made him get out before me. I wanted to spare us both the bullshit. Especially now that we weren't sharing all our classes anymore.

"Okay. See you after school." T said.

It didn't seem to bother him at all that things were like this.

"Yeah." I smiled sadly.

"Bye." T kissed my cheek and got out.

The second he arrived on the campus people started saying rude shit to him.

For fucks sake. I can't do this. I can't just watch all this happen, I love that guy! But what can I do? I would ruin everything.

With a sigh I got out of my car and made my way into school.

I was met with the usual cheerful greetings and high-fives. Sigh. It's hard to be the most popular guy in the school.

"Hey man." Dave said when I walked by his locker.

"Yo." We gave each other a bro hug.

"How was your summer?" Dave asked. "I was visiting the Hamptons with Jen. You know, same old." He shrugged. He was so trying to show off. I almost laughed at how much of an ass he was making of himself. I could give a fuck less about Jennifer.

I spotted Timothy by his locker. He was talking to that idiot, Blade. For fucks sake.

I averted my gaze quickly before Dave saw.

"Uh.. Good. Fine."

"You still living with that dork?"

"Yeah." I glanced at T again. Blade was putting his fucking number in his phone!

"Dude, are you okay? Is this about me and Jen? Cause we can talk about it-"

"I don't give a flying fuck about you and that slut! I hope you're happy!" I walked off, right by Timothy. I controlled myself and didn't yank him away from that freak.

During lunch break I sat with the guys but I was restless. I wanted nothing more than to go to Timothy. Instead I was stuck with my 'friends'. At least we were discussing something important: football.

Since it was senior year I really wanted to make state champion. I wanted to show the football scouts what I could do so that I could get into college. It's what I'd been working towards. I already had a couple offers but none that really interested me.

Which basically translated to long training sessions and endless hours of watching game film with coach and Dave, spotting for our opponents weaknesses and things.
