Wyatt's Point of View

I ran after I pushed him. Fuck. Why did I do that? Yeah, he looks like a girl but what crossed my mind to do that? And to my best friend of all people? Argh, what is going to happen tomorrow? What if he suddenly walks away from me? What if he thinks I took advantage of the difference in body build we two have? Aish. You Wyatt! You're an asshole! How did you do that to Aiden? To that innocent Aiden. Damn it.

I went straight to my room when I got home. I lay down and almost banged my head because I couldn't forget what had happened earlier. It's like I'm going crazy!

His skin... it's so soft. And why are his lips so soft? It's like I didn't want to stop the kiss there earlier. Haa, fuck. If I didn't stop I might lose it and do something that may ruin our friendship.

The next morning Aiden didn't go to the house, making me think he might be angry because of what I did last night. Aish.

I wouldn't have gone to school but I didn't want him to think I didn't go because I hated him. Only now do I remember that I pushed him last night, maybe because of that he would think I was angry.

When I entered the classroom I saw him sitting in his chair. Anna greeted me and I greeted her back before I sat down in my chair. While Jacob was teasing me, the demon and the angel were arguing in my brain about whether I should approach Aiden or not. But in the end, I was not able to approach or even talk to him. I'm scared, what if he ignores me, right? I mean, Aiden always ignores me when I tease him in the classroom but now it's a different matter.

Should I just act as if nothing had happened? But what if I offend him? Aish!

Another day passed. Aiden and I are still not talking. He was always alone and stared outside the window whenever class had not started. What was he thinking? Did he eat lunch yesterday? I didn't see him in the cafeteria.

When it was time to go home we met Vanessa with her friends. Vanessa is my crush who is from another section but we are both taking the same course.

"Hi, you're Wyatt, right?" A woman asked who's with Vanessa.

I nodded and smiled, "Yes, why?"

I felt Yuan's sneak peek at me that I just ignored. They probably think that the woman talking to me likes me. Also, they know that one of these women is my crush.

"Uhm, are you free today? I hope to spend the night at the house," the woman said.

Won't she introduce herself first?

I was about to answer that I had something to do when I got home but Jacob preceded me in speaking.

"Sure, sure! Where is it?" He asked.

"Really? You're all free?" Woman asked, excitedly.

"I'm sorry—" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when Hans suddenly spoke, obviously he really raised his voice so that they couldn't hear what I was going to say.

"Yep! Here, just message me the address," then he gave his phone to the woman to show his facebook account.

I just sighed and just let them go. I would have planned to talk to Aiden later at his condo to apologize. But my plan was ruined because of my friends!

I went home and got dressed for our overnight. Then we met at the park so we could go to the house of the woman whose name was Clarisse.

We played seven minutes in heaven. This is a game where two people are chosen to go into a closet or other dark enclosed space for seven minutes and do whatever they want. It is customary for participants to kiss, but they may also choose to talk, engage in another activity, or do nothing at all.

Jacob turned the empty bottle around and it stopped in front of Vanessa and me. They all shouted and then pushed us into the closet.

Haa, it's dark.

The one in front of me now is my crush but the one on my mind is Aiden. I don't know when I will be able to talk to him again. And speaking of conversation, I have nothing to say to Vanessa. So, what are we going to talk about?

The seven minutes ended without any one of us speaking.

The next morning, Jaco, Yuan, Hans and I went to school together because we slept in the same house. As we walked down the hallway I was thinking about how to approach Aiden. Wait, what if I ask these men for help?

"H-Hey," I called them.

They stopped walking and turned to me, "Why? Is there a problem?" Hans asked.

"We kissed," my reply surprised me.

What the fuck? Why did that come out of my mouth?

I was about to retract what I said when the three suddenly smiled playfully. What the-

"Wow, so fast, huh?" Yuan reacted.

"So, how was it?" Hans asked.

"Huh? Oh... O-Okay," I replied.

"Woah, does it taste sweet when you kiss the lips of the one you like?" Jacob asked, obviously teasing me.

Someone you like? I-I like Aiden?

"Just like I thought! It's really vague that nothing will happen," Hans nodded at his own thought.

"N-No wait, that's not—" damn. Aiden will be angry with me when he finds out that I told these three what happened to the two of us.

Jacob laughed, "What, man?"

"I'm just kidding!" I said.

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

I laughed when Yuan suddenly poked my side, "Aish, it's nothing!"

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

Did they see?! Do they know Aiden's condo?

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

"You already saw it, why are you still asking me?" I replied a little nervously. No, maybe they just saw something else.

Shit. I didn't realize that we are in the classroom now.

"Hey, guys, what are you talking about?" Ferlie, one of our female classmates asked.

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

Huh? Last night? Don't tell me... they misunderstood?! They thought that I was talking about the game last night where Vanessa and I were confined in the closet for 7 minutes? Oh, goodness.

"Congratulations!" Hans and Yuan shouted.

Aiden and I haven't talked for the third day. Arg, I will definitely talk to him today.

When I entered the room I saw Danica standing next to Aiden, they looked like they were talking.

My forehead furrowed. When else have they been close?

Aiden's Point of View

It's time to eat lunch. The woman who asked me to eat with her approached me again. I stood up and took my wallet from the bag.

"Uh... may I know your name?" I asked as we walked out of the classroom. Her friends had already gone to the cafeteria to save us seats.

"Y-You don't know me?" She looked surprised when I asked her name.

I nodded in response. Wyatt and his friends were the only ones I knew of my classmates.

"I'm Danica," she smiled.

"I'm Aiden," I introduced myself.

“I know,” she said.

"How did you know?" I asked.

I am small but she is smaller than me. It's like I just want to be next to her because when Wyatt is next to me I look like an elf.

"We're classmates," she answered, smilingly.

"Ah, right," I just averted my gaze and walked.

It's embarrassing that she knew me but I didn't know her. But at least I know her name now.

After we ate I told them to go back to the classroom first. Damn, my stomach is acting up.

I went to the men’s bathroom and looked for an empty cubicle. I went inside and vomited in the toilet bowl. Fuck. When it was over, I flashed it and went out of the cubicle. I washed my hands, washed my face and gargled before I finally left the bathroom.

Haa, I'm dizzy.

Even though I felt dizzy, I forced myself to get back to the classroom. When I arrived, there was already a professor teaching.

"S-Sorry, I'm late," I said. The prof just nodded so I entered.

It was like the surroundings were spinning while I'm walking. Haa, dang it. Apparently it’s because I’ve been starving since Wyatt and I stopped talking. Haa, nevermind! Just a little patience and I'm close to my seat.

"Mr. Adams, are you okay? You are wobbling," Ms. Professor asked.

I just nodded because I couldn't turn to her because of the dizziness I was feeling. Just a little more step and I can finally reach my seat when my vision suddenly darkened and I just felt my body collapse.

○° ○ ° ○ ° ○

"Hmm~" I moaned.

When I opened my eyes I saw a white ceiling. Why the smell clinic here?

I sat down and was surprised to see Wyatt by my side looking at me sharply.

What? I didn't do anything! Why is he mad?

"Why do you let yourself starve? You know that you're skinny but you're still passing your hunger!" He was obviously angry because his two eyebrows met.

How did he know?

I didn't answer and just stared at him.

He sighed and then held my hand, "How long have you been close with Danica? You don't have anyone else to talk to at this school except me but why did I see you talking to Danica and then you ate with her?"

"Because I'm sad," I replied.

"W-Why?" He asked. Of course, because of you!

I just shook my head and didn't speak. His grip on my hand tightened, making me wince. What the heck is his problem?

"Ouch!" I moaned then withdrew my hand from him.

"Are you dating her?" He asked.

Huh? Where did he get that?

"What about you? Are you dating her now? You two kissed right?"

"Huh, who?" His brows furrowed.

"Your crush. Why are you playing dumb?" My left brow arched, "I heard you guys talking about that, but I wasn't eavesdropping, it's just because they were loud."

"Ah..." he averted his gaze, "Yes, we kissed."

I stared at him for a second before I bowed my head and played with my fingers. It feels weird. Why am I not happy for him?

“Congrats,” I said.

"T-Thanks," he responded.

After that no one spoke anymore. Wow, this is the first time I get awkward with Wyatt around. I bit my lower lip before deciding to get up from the bed. I folded the blanket I used before leaving the clinic. Wyatt just followed me.

I took a deep breath. Maybe this is my chance to talk to him about the day we kissed.

I turned to him, "Can we talk?"

He nodded, "Sure."

I walked again as Wyatt just followed me. We climbed to the rooftop, fortunately and the door was not closed.

"What are we going to talk about that we still have to go here?" He asked.

I ignored his question and directly asked him what I wanted to know, "Hey, do you hate me?"

"What?" He seemed shocked, "Why would I hate you?"

"You know... because of that day," I replied.

"Hmm? What day?"

Oh, come on. Do I really need to say it?

"When we kissed," I answered.

"Oh... a-about that," he scratched his cheek and looked away.

"Are you disgusted? Is that why you are avoiding me?" I bowed my head and played with my fingers,

"N-No it's not like that," he said, but it was obvious in his voice that he was lying.

"Let's be friends again and l-let's not do it again so you won't avoid me," I uttered while my eyes were watering because my tears wanted to come out.

"I told you it's not because of—" he didn't finish what he was going to say when I cut him off.

"Don't be mad at me, let's make up," I said and held the hem of his uniform.

He held my hand, "Aish, I said it's not—"

"It's okay you don't have to—" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he suddenly pulled me and kissed me.

"Damn it, can you let me speak first?" He said when he parted our lips.

Did he just...

"Y-You..." my voice shook, "Why? W-Why did you—"

"I don't hate it, okay?" He looked away, "It's just... it feels so good, I feel like I'll be addicted to your lips."

Huh? Wait, this is— I think my brain is not functioning.

"Uh... What, what are you... I can't understand—"

"Can I kiss you?"

My eyes widened, "What?"

He didn't answer and just kissed me. My eyes remained open in shock. Some time later when I regained consciousness I immediately pushed him. We stopped kissing for a while, I thought that was just until then when he suddenly kissed me again.

Damn. What is he doing? And my heart... Why is my heart beating so fast and loud? And I can feel the insects moving with joy inside my stomach.

I pushed him again and immediately covered my mouth, "Don't kiss me. You'll avoid me again."

"No, I won't."
