We're Just Friends: A Boat Boys Fanfic

Crushes - Rewritten

Jimmy's Perspective-

Grian and Jimmy were walking next to each other as they entered their school.

"You know, Lizzie told me that she wants to break up with Joel." Jimmy said.

"Wait, actually?"

Jimmy nods, "Yeah, she said she thinks they'd be better as friends."

"Dang."

They walked in silence for a bit.

"So how do you think Joel will react?"

"What?" Jimmy asked, tearing his eyes from his cyan haired crush.

Grian rolled his eyes, "Why are you such a hopeless romantic?"

"Wha- hey!" Jimmy flushed red.

"Will you stop staring at your crush and actually listen for once?"

"On the topic of crushes, what's going on with you and Mumbo?" Jimmy teased, smirking.

"I could ask you the same thing. What's going on with you and Scott?"

Jimmy blushed.

"I- how did you know?!"

Grian rolled his eyes, "It was obvious you didn't like Tango."

Jimmy hesitated before asking, "Was it really that obvious?"

"Well let's see...you have no classes with Tango, you've never spoken with him, you always stare at Scott, turn red around him, stutter around him, want to spend time with- "

"Alright, alright! I get it!"

Grian smirked.

Scott then walked past them, talking with Tom; a guy with dark black fluffy hair, glasses, and a black hoodie on that had the Hamilton album cover on it.

Jimmy blushed and said, "H-hi Scott!"

Scott stopped talking and turned around to see Jimmy.

He smiled awkwardly and waved before continuing his conversation with Tom and walking away.

Once they turned the corner, Jimmy's smile faded as he panicked.

"Cod, why did I do that, why did I do that?!"

Grian started laughing as he patted his friend's back.

"Did you see his face?!" Grian laughed.

"Yes, I saw his face!! He probably thinks I'm an awkward idiot!"

"I meannnnn...would he be wrong?"

Jimmy shot him a look and Grian laughed.

"You're an awkward mess." Grian smirked.

Jimmy then spotted someone walking past them and smirked.

"Well let's see how awkward you get around your crush!" Jimmy whispered before pushing Grian into Mumbo.

Grian stumbled and almost fell over.

"Woah there!" Mumbo said, grabbing Grian's arm to prevent his fall.

Grian's face turned red as Mumbo helped him to his feet.

"You okay?" Mumbo asked.

"Well, my friend just shoved me, but I guess okay." Grian shrugged.

"Mumbo, the bell's about to ring in a minute." Mumbo's friend, Emerson, said.

"Oh, okay. Bye Grian, see ya Jimmy!" Mumbo said, waving goodbye as he and Emerson walked away.

"Yeah, we should get going as well." Jimmy said as they entered the 5th building and walked into their math class.

"Just in time, boys." Their teacher smiled, nodding at them.

Jimmy and Grian sat down at their desks and smiled at each other.

"Looks like we're even." Jimmy said.

"Not for long." Grian smirked.
