I tried to write a bit and I'm not sure what to think about this chapter, but I'm trying again. Sorry if it's not the best chapter!

GUYS I AM SO TIRED. I WAS OUT SINCE 7:30 AM AND GOT HOME AT 9 PM. HAD THE MOST TIRING ENERGETIC DANCING CLASS AND INTERNSHIP. I HAVEN'T EATEN ANYTHING, BUT I AM SO TIRED SO I'M JUST GONNA SLEEP. :( ENJOY THIS CHAPTER THOUGH!

Somehow walking into that school today made me completely and utterly nervous. My hands were shaking, my heart beat increased and I couldn't stop biting my lip.

Maybe it was because of the fact that Justin and I kissed yesterday or maybe because I agreed on giving him a decent chance. I couldn't avoid the fact that I said yes, but I still felt insecure about this whole situation if I was being honest.

For a second I closed my eyes before slowly inhaling and exhaling the fresh air, walking into the school like I was the biggest bad ass in the world.

I caught everyone staring at me, from lovesick high school girls with heart eyes, to the piercing glares of the popular jocks who used to be my 'friends', to the group of my current true friends who are smiling warmly at me. I walked over to them with a genuine smile.

To be honest, I wasn't really used to everyone staring at me or looking up to me. But I was still popular after all, everyone would've wanted to be in my position at this point and sometimes I forget that.

It's just that I never wanted to be popular in the first place. People don't know how lonely you actually are even with all these people around you, they aren't your real friends and that's what I learnt from him.

You can't be open about your true self or secrets for that matter, because before you know it they will expose you out in the open as if you're the bad person here while they are the true devils. You can't trust anyone.

Luckily it wasn't too late for me and he saved me from it.

My eyes met up with the eyes of my friends and I greeted every one of them until I saw Ryan. I felt the corner of my mouth turn up as the small boy attacked me with a warm hug like he always did whenever he saw me.

Then my eyes crossed the familiar green pair of eyes and I felt my smile lit up. Tingles were spread across my body when he touched my arm and greeted me with that cheeky grin on his face. Everything seemed to go into slow motion from then on and I dearly loved every microsecond of it.

"I need to talk to you, now" He smiled in a comforting way to let me know it wasn't something to be scared of.

So I agreed and excused myself from our friends before walking off with him to a more quiet place.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked as I looked up to his eyes.

His eyes made me get lost in them so many times. The green shades always reminded me of this wild forest with trees, leaves and beautiful flowers. It made me feel safe and put me at ease. I feel the same firework sparks from when he kissed me.

"I've been thinking.. Would you like to grab some dinner today, with me?" He asked and fiddled nervously with his fingers.

Wait, was I listening well. Did he basically just asked me to go out with him? The Justin McCall, the boy who's stubborn and used to be as straight as ever, a former homophobe, that asked me out?
