7.3: ... To Learn and Love

I opened my locker as I hid my stuff of detention. I got a huge smile on my face as I slammed my locker door close.

"Oy!" I looked behind me and saw Nogla waving enthusiastically, running towards me.

"Hey, Nogla." I waved back as I stood there, waiting for him. We both walked to the detention room as we talked about the usual questions of favorite stuffs.

We made our way to the detention room, meeting up with Brock and Jonathan on the door.

Nogla and I gave a wave with confused looks. "Why aren't ye Inside?" Nogla asked as he hive-fived Jon.

"There's a discussion happening." Jon informed us as we all stood there.

To be honest, I never actually payed attention to my surroundings before. I guess my fear made me not care about the people who are around me.

I looked up and saw Brock looking at me. He then smiled as he continues to read his book. I don't know why but everytime he or Jon or Nogla looked at me, I feel this feeling of something. I can't quite put my finger on it...

My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden force in my left foot. In automatic response, I quickly looked up and held my hands forward, catching the male who tripped over my leg.

"I'm sorry." We both apologized in unison, making us look at each other. Suddenly, that feeling I was just talking about sparked. Like It was a firework that exploded once his lime-green eyes met mine.

We stared for a brief second, though it felt like an eternity just passed. The comfortable staring was rudely interrupted by a harsh tone.

"Get out of the way!" I shook my head as I let the person go, letting him walk away from my gaze. He and his two other friends walked in the detention room.

I still had my gaze on the door, like he was still there, looking at me with a smile. How can I imagine his smile? Why am I thinking about him? I only met him?!

"Deep breaths Jaren. You're panicking again." Brock told me as he rubbed my back, trying to calm me down.

"Looks like someone is attracted to John." Daithi quietly giggled, but he was close to me so I could still hear him.

"John?" I asked in confusion. Well... Curiosity.

"John Keyes. A member of Luke's little bully circle." Brock smiled at me. "Do we have another gay?"

What?! Gay?! No.. I'm not gay... Wait? Another?

"Wait! You guys are-"
"SHHHHHH!"

Three of them quickly shut my mouth by covering it with their palms. They all raised their index fingers, making a 'silence' sign.

I muttered sorry as they all let go and nodded.

"All of us are." Jon revealed.
"But... I'm not gay. I never been gay." I defended, but no one bought it.

"You have been shutting everyone down. Of course you wouldn't know if you're gay or straight." Nogla smiled as I thought about it.

I guess I was getting attracted to boys... Especially... This John... Dammit!

"This is a good day to learn about yourself, huh?" I laughed as they all chuckled.

"And to find love~" Nogla cooed and teased as he made his hand to a heart shape. We all giggled as Ms D appears at the door and let us in the detention room.
