"michael why aren't you answering your phone?" I huffed, as I ran a hand through my hair, and put the phone back up again at my ear.

after waiting after four rings, the voicemail took over, and I mumbled swears as I tossed the phone down on my bed, sighing.
I was definitely needing michael. I haven't really talked to him since the day after Luke's birthday that was seven days ago. that's awhile for us. we use to talk everyday and he's not home anymore. I know that he's most likely with his dad, but at least he can call back or send a quick text? I always make sure to text him. even when he's not replying or messaging me I still do.

after my phone beeped, a sigh of relief escaped my mouth as I opened it to see it was michael.

after getting dressed, and not checking myself out in the mirror, already knowing i wouldn't think good thoughts, I went ahead and left, deciding to walk to Luke's before we both headed to the food place to meet the rest of the boys. I was a little shocked when I found out that luke was gay, but then again, I expected it. I was always weary about him, and wondered if he ever was. in school, he was an ingenious boy, and girls obviously like him. he had the most girl attention out of the boys and I, but either he just didn't realize it, or he didn't care because he was obviously gay.

I don't know about Ashton though. he's frolic, and was quiet in school. but he wasn't shy. just the fact that he was quiet, but he always came off as that happy guy. the one that's always smiling at everyone and never seemed to have a bad day. I always wished I felt that way, but of course I never did. but was Ashton gay too? does he have feelings for luke too? now thinking of the way they both act towards each other, it seems like it, but if you didn't think it, you would just expect them as best friends. which, they are, of course. but best friends don't do what they did. kiss? well I guess. i've kissed michael. but it was just a one time thing!

we were both thirteen and we were at my house, and wasn't really doing anything except playing a video game on our game boys. but we were on the topic of girls, and how we didn't really ever date them. it wasn't by our choice, but the girls. but michael thought he was gay since he never had dated a girl before, and I told him he could kiss me to see if he was gay, including myself, although I knew I wasn't gay. but that's that, and yeah.

"calum?" I heard michaels voice and I snapped out my thoughts, smiling and hugging him.

"mikey!"

he chuckled before taking a seat in the booth beside Ashton as I sat beside luke. the tension was felt in the air and I even think michael felt it. he was clueless though. but you could definitely tell something was up.

"so did you order already?" michael asked not bothering to ask if there was something wrong, and I nodded.

"don't worry, I ordered your usual," I said making him grin and I automatically smiled back at him. his was just contagious.
