<Gage Grant POV>
"What?" I asked staring at him
"Nothing." Christian said back, looking down at the work we were given.
"What?" I asked again, smiling at him.
"Nothing, nothing." He said again smiling at his paper.
"Fine, don't tell me." I finished staring at my paper now.
Christian smiled at me and worked on his piece of paper. After a few seconds I wanted to know why he was looking at me.
"Tell me!" I desperately asked him.
He laughed a bit, "I was just admiring you. Why, I can't do that anymore?" He said looking up at me.
Pouting, I answered, "No, I didn't say that..."
I watched Christian smile a bit and went back to his work while my face felt warm.
"Something on your mind?" Christian asked
"Just Patton." I said and he looked at me shocked, "Are you ok?" He asked
"I'm fine, just he's been a bit...off recently." I explained to him.
"How so?" He questioned.
"He just hasn't been paying attention to me as much as he did a few weeks ago." I explained, going into more detail.
"Isn't that good? That he isn't around anymore?" He asked, confused.
"Sure it would be, but this is Patton. He's doing something, he wouldn't take his focus off of me unless it was necessary." I told him.
"What do you think he's doing?" Christian asked slightly worried.
"I have no idea, he literally could be doing anything." I said rubbing my face.
"We can talk about this later, ok? Let's just try to finish class." Christian suggested.
"Alright." I said trying to focus on my work again.
Class went on and we both left for our next class, "Gage." Someone said and startled me.
Looking around I saw Patton right behind me, "Oh hey Patton." I said smiling a bit towards him.
"Are you ok? You look sick." Patton said observing my face.
"Yeah, I'm alright. How are you? I feel like I haven't asked that in a while." I questioned and I watched him smile.
"I'm great Gage!" He said happily, walking down the hallway with me.
"Hey, have you been ok? You seemed to have, kinda something else on your mind." I said, changing the topic.
"Nothing special, just work." He said staring down the hallway.
"Really? Just because I haven't seen you around lately." I said trying to hint him at the subject.
He stopped in the hallway making me stop too, "Patton?" I said, confused. For a second he stared down the hall, sad and shocked.
Then he looked at me, "I'm so sorry Gage, I know it may look like I've forgotten you, but I haven't. Not in the slightest, please forgive me." He said holding my hands.
People in the hall kinda stared so slowly I took my hands from him, "It's ok Patton, I just want to know where you are." I said
"Like I said Gage, I'm working." He said smiling softly and taking my arm down the hall.
