Ep 1-My 'Secret Crush'

It is a bright sunny day, a beautiful day indeed. I opened my eyes just a little to grab a hold of the sunlight peeking through my thick window curtains. I face palmed at my lazy *** brain making myself realise that this is not a day of weekend to curdle in my cozy bed. So I mustered the strength to leave my super comfortable af bed and drag myself to the bathroom to freshen up then get ready for the school. I brushed my teeth and took a quick refreshing shower and went to my wardrobe to pick up today's outfit. I decided on a dirt white colour shirt with a black sweater to pair with my light washed jeans. I never bothered to brush my hair so kept it styled untidy. Oh baby I'm ready to rock I said to myself.

As I got down the stairs a saw my mom making pancakes and my dad reading his daily newspaper and drinking coffee. When they say me they both greeted a good morning at the same time. I kissed my mom on the cheek and gave my dad a side hug while returning their greetings.

Mom quickly gave me my pancakes which I flooded, literally flooded with maple syrup. Yummy! I ate and then grabbed my backpack and left for my school while saying my parents good-bye. My mom called me back,

"Honey, let me give you a ride to school, I'm almost done here" , she said.

" Okayyy" I replied back.

She took her bag and car keys and we sat on the car while she started to drive drive towards my school. We chatted about lil things about my school life.

"How's your day going in school? Are you attending your classes properly?", mom asked.

" Yessssss mother. You know I'm a good kid, right?" I replied making a puppy-dog face.

She smiled a bit relaxed.

" You know baby that you can share anything you want with us. We'll appreciate it. Tell us if you get into any trouble or need us", she assured me.

I smiled brightly enough to convince her. Only that she or no one else not a single soul can know what I buried inside my chest... My sexual orientation, my true self - I'm gay.

Don't get me wrong. My parents are super nice and they have supported me in every decision I made so far in my life. But this is my thing, I couldn't gather up the courage to tell them yet. I dunno why but I just couldn't.

We pulled up to the school driveway dragging me out of my thoughts my mom elbowed me signalling that we have arrived.

I grabbed my bag and kissed my mom goodbye and started my way to the entrance of my school. My friends were clattering near my locker - Our gossip place. I have two buddies who I referred as two lifelines - James Jefferson and Tomas Brown.

"You gotta see her, man!!", James said

" Nah.. bro I'm alright without her. It's been enough. I need my time", Tomas clarified.

I understood what they are discussing about and that is Tomas' breakup with Celine. They were together for 2 months but Tomas caught her cheating with some random dude. She apologized a thousand times, cried and kinda begged for Tomas to give her another chance.

You know Tomas is actually quite popular among girls. He has that bad boy gentleman kinda vibes for which girls are crazy about. Tomas is really a good man and that only adds to this long list of qualities.

But here I'm a quite nobody. Not popular at all though my both friends are quite popular guys in the school but I am just the 'other friend' in the school. My friends never mind that and they protect me from any harsh comments that often come from school bullies. Don't get me wrong. I love them and never thought of them any different than very good friends.

I joined them in their so interesting chit-chat "Hey, guys what's up?" I said. Their faces lit up a bit seeing me. We started to talk when the class bell rang and I headed towards my literature class while James and Tomas went for their mathematics class. We do not share a whole lot of classes together but we fulfil that time in breaks.

I entered the class and took my seat near the window. This is my favourite seat. Then HE entered the class. I felt like my heart is going to stop any moment. I feel like heat is rushing through every part of my body. This is generally my regular normal reaction when I see him.

He is the school jock best friend of the soccer team captain - Steven Smith. One of the hottest male crush of the entire school. My 'Secret Crush'.
