Aiden's Point of View

After a few minutes, Wyatt parted our lips. He looked at my eyes for a moment before he hugged me and put his head into my shoulder.

"Ugh, fuck," he cursed.

"A-Are you okay?" I asked.

I grabbed his shoulder and forced him to face me. I was shocked when he suddenly pushed me causing me to fall to the floor. Because I was still shocked by what he did to me, all I could do was follow him with my eyes as he hurried out of my condo.

What the fuck, man!? Is he mad at me? Is he really the one who has the courage to be angry with the two of us? If there's anyone who should be angry, it's me. He kissed me first! I just imitated what he did. Wait, don't tell me... I'm super bad at kissing? Did I bite his tongue by any chance?

But still! Why does he have to push me? Does he hate it that much? Did it bother him because we're both men? But he was the one who initiated it, wasn't he? He kissed me and then he suggested that we try it. Then when I said that we were both men, he just answered me with "so what?" Arg! What is his problem?

The next morning I did not go to their house to go to school with him. I left the condo early so I also got to school early. I immediately went to the classroom and sat in my chair near the window.

Why would I go to his house just to accompany him? They have a car and I still can't forget what he did to me. Hmm... we're both straight so maybe he was shocked when we kissed because we're both men. Yeah, we're both guys but why didn't I feel disgusted when we kissed?

I touched my lip as I remembered how Wyatt and I kissed while looking outside the window.

Suddenly my heart beat faster, because of the shock I felt. Damn, what's wrong with me? I just remember what happened last night but why did my heart beat so fast? Does kissing have side effects?

"Hi, Wyatt!"

I looked at where that voice came from when I heard Wyatt's name. When Wyatt and I met eyes, he immediately averted his gaze that made my brows furrowed.

Wow, really. Does he hate me now?

"Hello," Wyatt greeted back to the woman who had greeted him earlier. Before he sat down in his chair.

Yuan approached him, "Hey, man. What's up?"

"Ah, yeah," Wyatt replied.

"Pfft~ what's wrong?" Next up to approach him was Hans, "Why are you frowning in the morning, you might look ugly."

"I don't care," Wyatt replied.

"Maybe the woman rejected you?" Jacob enters the conversation. Wyatt is now surrounded by the three.

"Stop it, I'm not in the mood," Wyatt said and leaned his head on the top of the table.

Oh, is it because of me that he's not in the mood? Is it really my fault?

"Wait, did you fight with Aiden?" Jacob asked.

Yuan nodded, "You didn't go to school together today. Aren't you always together?"

"Now that I noticed it, Wyatt didn't greet Aiden and he went straight to his seat," Hans said.

"Aish," Wyatt ruffled his hair then sat up, "Quiet! Go away and stop messing around."

The three laughed, "Right, right. Cool your head down there first. Hot-headed." Said Hans.

"Let's go guys," Jacob said. "Maybe they really fought."

The three returned to their seats while Wyatt was left alone in his seat. When he turned to my place I immediately averted my gaze. I just looked outside the window again.

Did he catch me looking at him? Hopefully not.

The time moved faster and it's now the time for our lunch break. I turned to where Wyatt was sitting to see if he would invite me to eat with him. He stood up without looking at me, maybe he wouldn't take me.

What do I expect? He pushed me last night and obviously he's avoiding me right now. He didn't even talk to me this morning. He also didn't exchange seats next to me as he always did before. Maybe he really hates me now. Our friendship was ruined because of that one kiss.

"Wyatt!" Jacob calls to him, "Your crush passed by!" He shouted.

Ah, right. Wyatt told me that he likes someone but he didn't tell me who it is. Jacob and others knew but I didn't. Pfft, am I really his best friend?

Wyatt's face lit up when he heard what Jacob shouted. From the dark aura it was replaced by a dazzling aura. He ran to the door where Jacob was and followed where Jacob's hand was pointing. Maybe he's pointing out where Wyatt's crush went.

Is she pretty?

~~

"It's good that my cousin chose this girl," Ryan said laughing.

"Of course, I'm handsome so I need a girlfriend who's beautiful," Wyatt boasted in response.

~~

Then, why didn't you pick your crush instead of me? There's a chance he'll get close to his crush if he asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend. They might really end up with each other. When that girl falls in love with him, they can make their relationship real. There will be no problem when that happens.

Wyatt was handsome and famous in our school. He stands out everywhere he goes. It's not vague that that woman will like him too.

But why did he choose me? Because I'm his best friend? If I was just a girl maybe there would be no problem. But I'm a guy. If I was a woman when we kissed, wouldn't he stay away from me?

Aish, damn. My tears want to come out. I'm really a crybaby.

He can tell me that he didn't like what we did last night because we're both men. He can talk to me. He doesn't have to avoid me. He knew that my tears were shallow and that I cried for even a small thing. Why is he doing this to me?

Instead of going down to the cafeteria to eat I just laid my head on the table and cried quietly. I hate him! He makes me cry! He is no longer my friend! I hate him!

Damn, we're in college but I'm still crying over things like this. I don't like myself anymore.

The next day I went to school early again. About 15 more minutes passed before Wyatt arrived... with Jacob, Hans and Yuan? This is new.

The three of them laughed as they entered the room. I averted my eyes and just looked out the window. It’s better to look at the trees than to their faces.

"Tell me the truth, Wyatt!" Yuan said laughing.

I'm not eavesdropping, okay? Because their voices are loud so I can hear. Hmp!

I heard Wyatt laugh, "Aish, it's nothing!"

"Liar, there's a small hole there we saw you two," Jacob said then laughed out loud.

"Our Wyatt is a big boy now," Hans teased.

"You already saw it, why are you still asking me?" Wyatt replied.

"Hey, guys, what are you talking about?" Question of one of our female classmates. Her voice sounds like a woman so I guessed it was a woman who asked.

"Wyatt and his crush kissed last night!" Jacob announced that accompanied with a loud laugh at the end.

"Congratulations!" Hans and Yuan shouted.

"Wow, I'm jealous~" I heard my female classmates whisper.

Woah, they kissed? How?

Anyway, congrats to him. He can finally date that woman and introduce her to his family. He can tell his cousins ​​that the girl named Aida that he introduced to them is gone, that they broke up.

I should be happy because I no longer have to wear women's clothing again. And I no longer have to pretend to be his girlfriend. But why does my heart seem to be pounding now? Why am I not happy?

Aish, nevermind! Maybe this is just the feeling that your childhood best friend is slowly moving away from you. It's that kiss' fault! If I had pushed Wyatt when he kissed me, we may still be together to this day.

It’s now the third day that Wyatt and I haven’t talked and paid attention to each other. Sometimes when I simply glance at his place, I always catch him using his cellphone even during class. He must be talking to that girl. I'm curious... What does she look like?

I opened the door of our classroom and quietly entered. I could feel the gaze of my other classmates but I ignored them.

"Hey, did you notice too?" Blockmate 1.

"What?" Blockmate 2.

"Aiden and Wyatt aren't talking anymore, aren't they bestfriends?" Blockmate 1.

"Oh, now that I think about it you're right!" Blockmate 2.

"Hey, lower down your voice he can hear us," Blockmate 1.

Yeah, I can hear you, guys. I can hear you talking behind my back.

"It must be hard for Aiden, he doesn't have any other close friend other than Wyatt," Blockmate 3.

"What do you think they were arguing about?" Blockmate 4.

"Maybe a girl? The other day, didn't Jacob say that Wyatt and his crush kissed? What if Aiden also had a crush on that girl? Maybe that's the reason!" Blockmate 5.

What the heck was that? The reason they thought was too far from the very reason we didn't talk to each other.

I just sighed and sat down in my chair. I peeked out the window and watched the flowers dancing, carried by the strong wind.

"This is your chance, Grace, didn't you have a crush on Aiden?" Blockmate 3.

"Y-Yeah, but..." Blockmate 6.

“No buts, go ahead and approach him,” Blockmate 4.

Huh? No, don't come to me. I'm not interested.

But after a few moments someone suddenly touched my shoulder. I sighed before I turned around and saw a cute girl. I recognize her, she's the girl sitting at the front seat beside the door.

"Uh... Uhm, hi," she waved her hand shyly. I just nodded and was about to look back at the window when she spoke again, "I-I noticed that you haven't eaten lunch these past few days, maybe because you have no one to eat with? I-If you want you can eat with me. Uhm, I mean with me and my friends. "

Why is she stuttering? And her face is bright red. Is she shy? Oh, she might be scared because my face is always straight. You can't see any facial expressions. Am I scary? Does my face look scary?

I was about to say no to the girl but when I remembered that Wyatt and his crush kissed, I suddenly said the opposite word of what I wanted to say.

"Yeah, sure... Let's do that," I responded.
