The next day, we get to school earlier so that we have more time to fuck around in the library. I'm honestly surprised that the librarian doesn't care.  Albert, Spot, Specs, Romeo, Sarah, and I start an Uno game, which results in lots of yelling. 

I finally learned how to play Uno, by the way.

While we're playing, Jojo steals Davey's phone. Before we know it, we have Davey sprawled across a very flustered Jack, trying to get his phone back. Everyone else is laughing their asses off. I turn to Charlie.

"How long has Jack liked Davey again?" Charlie's face twists as he tries to think of the answer.

"I dunno, like...7 or 8 years?" I hold back a snort as I return my gaze to the scene. Davey got his hone back from Jojo, and Jack's face just keeps getting redder and redder.

"Is he ever gonna confess? Because this shit is hilarious." I ask Charlie, who giggles.

"I'm not sure, but I'm certainly enjoying the show."

"I wonder why he hasn't confessed yet..." I play with the fidget cube that Medda got me before school started.

"He's scared." He states. "He's scared that Dave won't like him back. He'd rather have this feeling eat away at him than confess and have his feelings not be reciprocated." I nod.

"Understandable. Do you think I could talk to Davey about it?"

"You can try. Jack will either love you or hate you for this." I chuckle. The bell rings, and we all disperse.

~time skip brought to you by my love for davey jacobs~

I'm in the car now. I never got the chance to talk to Davey, since we're in different grades, but I have his number. I stare at the blinking cursor before me, not sure what to say.I guess we have to start simple.

"hey dave"

Good idea, I hope. I didn't want to just jump right into it. He doesn't respond for a few minutes, so I assume he's driving. But it isn't super long before I see those three dots on my screen.

"Hey, Toni. Did you need something?"

He texts using proper grammar? Ew. I'm not surprised though.

"i have a question"

"For me?"

"no for the queen of England"

"Then why are you messaging me? What do you even have to ask her?"

"it's sarcasm davey" 

Did he seriously think I had a question for Queen fucking Elizabeth?

"Oh. Sorry. Anyways, what's your question?"

Oh boy, here we go.

"um.....how do you feel about my brother..."

"Jack?"

"yeah"

I take a sharp breath.

"He's super talented and kind. He's my best friend." Davey responds.

"u know that's not what i mean"

It takes a minute for him to respond again. I really hope I didn't fuck this up.

"Are you asking me if I have a crush on him?"

"yeah"

"It's embarrassing but, yeah. I do. I have for years. He'd never like me back though."

"that's where ur wrong buckaroo"

"Huh?"

"this man is head over heels for you. according to charlie, he's been ranting about how gay he is for u for years"

"Oh."

"don't tell him i said that. he'll kill me"

"I won't. Thank you, Antonio."

I turn off my phone as we pull into the driveway. Am I a wingman now? Do I tell Jack? I have to. When we step out of the car, I turn to him, whispering in his ear.

"Davey likes you back."

I didn't get to see his reaction. I ran right into my room, not wanting to deal with the lecture that I'd most likely get.
