Justin stood up a little straighter as his eye
caught that beautiful boy he’d had an eye out for, for quite some time. He was
however still unsure what to do with his feelings. He stood off to the side,
there were a lot of people around in the mall and therefore he knew Josh
wouldn’t see him but Justin saw him.
He
watched how Josh walked alongside a much taller guy. He was at least 6”2, brown
hair and pretty muscular. They headed towards the movie theatre. Justin could
see how the tall guy bought two tickets and passed a smile to Josh who was
standing next to him. Justin noticed how Josh returned the smile and he had
hope; it looked like a date. Although Josh wasn’t his date, it at least meant
he dated… guys!
Once
the two had disappeared into the movie theatre Justin turned around and headed
for the exit. He walked home quickly, a smile on his face and a plan already
forming in his mind. He was going to walk up to him and ask him out.
***
Justin
went to his car after a long day of school, thinking about his plan once again;
he was going to walk up to his crush and ask him out. He’d been thinking about
it all day. He was going to do it, well not now but he was going to. He’d made
the decision and now all he had to do was wait for the opportune moment. One;
it’d have to be in a private place, two; his crush would have to be alone and
three; there had to be no one within earshot. He knew what he was going to say
too, he’d thought this through all the way, he’d make sure nothing would go
wrong and he’d walk away with a date.
He
unlocked his car and turned to get in, he stopped however when something on the
other side of the parking lot caught his eye. More like someone and it was the
person that always caught his attention. He frowned as he saw a guy run up to
his crush. Justin was too far from them to see who it was but it seemed to be
the guy Justin had seen Josh with at the movie theatre three days ago. The guy
tried to put an arm around Josh but the blue eyed angel pushed the arm away
with a scowl. Justin couldn’t see what was going on exactly but he could see
his crush wasn’t happy with the affectionate gesture. Uncertainty crept into
his heart as he watched the scene play out in front of him. The guy once again
tried to put his arm around Josh but it got shoved away in anger. His crush
then walked away quickly, almost fleeing.
Justin
watched him go before he turned to his car in a daze and got in. He drove off
quickly, seeing the guy who’d tried to hit on his crush in his rear-view
mirror. The guy looked stunned, in shock almost and confused. Justin knew one
thing for sure as he set his gaze back on the road ahead; that’s not gonna be
me.

“How
was your… date” Chris whispered after he’d quickly looked around to make sure
no one was close enough to overhear.
“With
Billy” he added. Josh sighed.
“Not
great” Josh revealed.
Chris
frowned. “Why not?”
“He
just, he got all clingy and possessive. He even came here at school!” Josh
explained shuddering a little, adding the next bit of information in a somewhat
angry tone of voice, remembering what had happened.
Josh
went down the steps, intending to go home after a long day at school.
“Josh!”
someone called out his name and Josh turned to the voice curiously, frowning
when he saw who it was.
“Billy,
what are you doing here?” Josh asked surprised.
“Just
came by to see you” he smiled.
Josh
smiled back weakly, they’d gone out together but Josh wasn’t planning to repeat
it Billy however seemed to want to. Billy stepped forward and Josh saw his arm
coming up to hug his shoulders. He reacted quickly; stepping back. He was in
the middle of the parking lot!
“What
are you doing?” Josh panicked, pushing his arm away.
“What
if someone sees us?!”
“Oh
come on baby, no one will see us and if they do; what does it matter?” he
asked, his arm going once again around his shoulders. Josh pushed it away in
temper.
“It
matters!”
“Josh”
“No,
I can’t not here, I’m sorry” he said somewhat apologetically before walking off
quickly, praying to God that no one had seen anything.
“Ah”
Chris said shortly, already knowing what was going on.
“What?!”
Josh demanded, frowning.
“Someone
gets clingy and possessively very quickly according to you” Chris said lightly,
trying to be gentle.
“What?”
Josh said simply.
“Just
because I don’t let everyone touch me doesn’t mean I’m distant” he argued.
“I
didn’t say that” Chris denied, shaking his head.
“Whatever
he just wasn’t for me” Josh dismissed not wanting to get into this again.
“So
you dumped him?” Chris sighed.
“Yesterday,
yes” Josh answered, remembering that too. Billy hadn’t exactly accepted it
right away but eventually Josh had managed to make him see that they were not
going on a second date.
“Okay
well you know who you like” Chris conceded.
“Exactly”
Josh smiled, his attention still on his friend as Chris smiled back, therefore
being unaware of the fact that Justin had walked into the cafeteria and glanced
his way, his eyes always sought him out. Josh didn’t notice it as always.
“Let’s
just hope someone will get past first date”
Josh nodded his head. “Yeah”
