Aiden's Point of View

"Aiden, can we talk?"

I looked up and saw Danica. She bent down and played with her fingers.

"Sure," I replied.

"Uhm, can we go to a quiet place? We're just the two of us," she said.

I stood up, "Okay."

She nodded and started to walk. I just followed her and walked out of the classroom. I noticed that Hans's gaze followed Danica and me but I just ignored it. Wyatt is not yet in the classroom lest he be late for class. It looks like he was really drunk last night.

Danica took me to the rooftop. When we entered, she immediately closed the door. I just stared at her as I waited for her to speak. I don’t know what we should talk about. Is it about what I saw last night? If she's concerned that I'll spread the word about it, she's safe because I'm not close to our classmates. And I won't get anything good if I spread it.

"About what happened yesterday—"

I cut her off, "Don't worry, I won't talk about that. Is that all you're going to say?"

She looked at me then shook her head, "That's not what I wanted to say. Aiden, I'm sorry—"

She couldn't continue what she was about to say when suddenly there was someone knocking on the rooftop door.

"Aiden~"

What the fuck? Who's that?

Bang! Bang!

"Let's talk! I just have a question!" The man outside shouted again.

I turned to Danica. She nodded at me then opened the rooftop door. When the door opened, Hans' face greeted us.

I frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Yes, he was looking at Danica and me in the classroom earlier but I didn't expect him to follow us this far.

"Can you come out first, Danica? I'll just ask him something," he said, breathlessly. "Privately," he added when Danica didn't move.

"O-Okay," Danica replied then exited the rooftop. I even saw her run down the stairs.

Hans closed the door and we were the only people there.

"Didn't Wyatt come home?" He asked.

"Why are you asking me?" I asked back.

"You're the closest to him. And all of a sudden Wyatt disappeared last night. We don't know if he came home because he also didn't answer his phone when we called him," he replied.

"His grandfather called me, asked me if I could pick up Wyatt. I took him to them last night," I said.

He nodded and then smiled, "That's why I think I saw you at the bar last night. I thought I was just imagining it."

"I saw you there too," I said.

Hee scratched his head and looked embarrassed at what I said, "Anyways, Vanessa also said that while she was kissing Wyatt, a small man pulled him. Maybe, she's referring to you."

When they talk about a small man, do they think of me immediately?

"Vanessa? Is she..." even before I finished speaking, Hans nodded immediately.

"Yep, that's his crush," he replied with a smile.

So, that woman was Vanessa. The woman he kissed near the bathroom was Vanessa. Wow, what a jerk. If he could kiss his crush, why did he even kiss Danica? Does he choose who is better at kissing? What the heck?

When Hans and I returned to the classroom, I noticed that Wyatt was sitting in his chair. As soon as I sat in my chair I immediately looked out the window. We don't have a professor yet so I can still think of anything.

The days passed quickly and three days later Wyatt and I were still not talking. We haven't been like this in our whole lives, that type of friends that after they made up they will fight again. This just happened to us since we kissed.

I was about to leave the school gate when suddenly someone grabbed my arm. I turned my back and saw Wyatt, Hans, Jacob and Yuan.

"Oops, sorry! I forgot, you don't want to be touched by me," then he laughed. "Uh, I just want to invite you on Saturday if you're free. We're going to eat outside with Vanessa and she said she has four more friends with her, so to be right with those with her I also want to ask you, because we're missing one . "

"I'll think about it," I said and was about to turn around when he stopped me.

"Can't you decide now? So that I can tell her right away," he said then let go of my arm.

"I don't think I can. I have something to do this Sunday," I replied.

"It's on Sunday, we're going to have fun on Saturday," he said.

I sighed, "Fine." I answered and turned away from them.

Yeah, whatever. Nothing bad will happen because we will just eat. For a few days without us talking, he just approached me to say that? But it's not bad either because I also missed talking to him even for a moment. Maybe that's why he's losing time with me because he's already busy with Vanessa and he's getting even closer to Jacob, Hans and Yuan.

When I got home to the condo, I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. I came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, I was the only person so it was okay. Previously whenever Wyatt was here I would get dressed in the bathroom. But now I will dress in the bedroom.

While looking for something to wear I saw Wyatt's shirt. I picked it up and smelled it.

"Smells like Wyatt," I whispered to myself.

I smelled his shirt again and the image of us kissing suddenly played in my brain. My eyes widened and I threw away Wyatt’s shirt as I felt the sudden resurrection of my manhood.

I slowly took off my bathrobe and there I confirmed that it was indeed standing. I immediately covered my mouth in shock.

No fucking way.

Fuck it. Maybe it will go down if I release it once, right?

I could do nothing but do it on my own to put my awake pet back to sleep. But the bad thing about it is that while I was doing that, all I had in mind was Wyatt and I kissing torridly. This is so fucking bad.

After that I immediately ran to the bathroom to wash my hands. Haa, fuck. I'm sorry, Wyatt. Damn, what's wrong with me? Why was Wyatt the one I imagined while I was doing that? Why him? Why my best friend? Why a guy? Fuck it.

On Saturday, what Wyatt said continued. He messaged me the place where we would eat. When I arrived, I was the last one they were waiting for so I felt ashamed. As we walked, one of the women with Vanessa walked beside me.

"Hi," she greeted me.

"Hello," I greeted back to her.

"Is your house far from here so you're late?" She asked.

"Uhm, yes. Sorry," I replied.

She nodded, "Ey~ it's not a big deal. By the way, I'm Yuri." She said and held out her hand.

"Aiden," I said, then reached for her hand.

"You're cute," she said while smiling.

"Oh, thanks. You too," I said.

"Really?! Woah~ this is the first time I received a compliment from someone," she said excitedly.

"Really?" I smiled. I don't know what to say anymore.

We entered a restaurant. When we sat down we immediately ordered something to eat. While waiting they just chatted. Vanessa and Wyatt are sitting next to each other, they seem to enjoy each other's company. We all have a qpartner, our setup looks like a blind date.

When the food came we ate. After dinner we rested for a while before deciding to leave the restaurant. Vanessa wanted to play in the arcade so we went there.

I couldn’t help but notice Vanessa and Wyatt. If you look at them they really look like lovers. They had been sweet to each other before, ever since we were walking to the restaurant. They held hands and when we were eating, Wyatt's feeding Vanessa. While they were together, Wyatt's facial expression didn't change at all. He was always smiling and seemed to be enjoying being with Vanessa.

"Aiden, let's go to the photo booth," Yuri said and pulled me away.

We entered the photo booth and we did poses for the photo nine times. The picture came out well. Yuri smiled as she looked at the picture of the two of us. She also seems to enjoy being with me, so why not enjoy her company, too?

"Do you still want to go somewhere?" I asked her.

"Hmm..." she looked around, "Basketball?"

I smiled, "Okay, let's go there."

We went there and played. Then we tried other games. When we got tired everyone decided to go home. Wyatt and I went straight to my condo. I was even surprised when he said that he would come with me to the condo, because it's been awhile since he went there. I didn't even ask why I just agreed because I miss being with him too.

I was preparing our dinner while Wyatt was lying on the sofa and watching TV.

"Did you enjoy it?" He asked.

"Yep, you?" I also asked.

"Of course! Who wouldn't enjoy being with your crush, right?" He laughs at the answer.

I bit my lower lip, "Right." I replied.

"She's pretty, she cares for me, she's charming, she's not hard to get along with, I like her and she likes me, too." He uttered.

I stopped slicing the carrot, "So... are you guys dating now?"

"Yep!" He answered, excitedly.

"Oh, congrats," I said and continued chopping the carrot.

"Right, now that we're dating, you don't need to pretend to be my girlfriend," he added.

"Ah, right..." I chuckled.

My hands were shaking and I flinched when I cut my finger. Damn, it hurts. I sucked my blood before cleaning it with tap water in the sink.

"I'm going home, Aiden." Said Wyatt.

I turned to him in shock at what he said, "Y-You can't sleep here?"

He nodded, "Nope. Vanessa might worry about me when I say I won't sleep at home."

"What about dinner?" I asked.

He glanced at my finger but immediately turned his gaze back to me, "I'm going to eat at home."

"It's just quick to cook, you can wait," I insisted.

He shook his head, "I really need to go home. I don't want to worry Vanessa."

"You can say you're going to eat here," I said. "She knows I'm your friend, doesn't she?"

Damn, my tears seem to want to come out. I don't know, it's just... I feel like Wyatt's heart is moving away from me. I'm afraid that maybe next time he won't really come here. I was afraid that next time he wouldn't care for me.

Can't he stay even for a moment? I wanna hang out with him. I missed him.

"Sorry, maybe next time," he smiled before he turned away.

When I heard the door of my condo close, my tears quickly came out. I just want him to stay here with me. I want to eat with him just like the old times. But because of his lover... We can't do that.

I looked at the vegetables and pork on the table that were ready to be cooked. I bit my lower lip before throwing them in the trash. I've lost my appetite, maybe I'll just sleep.

My eyes hurt when I woke up. I immediately picked up my phone to check the time, because Danica was coming here.

I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Then I went out of the condo to buy something to eat. While walking I saw two familiar faces in a café. When I looked closely, it was then I confirmed that it was Vanessa and Wyatt.
