After the last lesson, Liam went over to his bag, put all of his stuff inside and then closed it. He tried to grab his coat but, unfortunately, he was just about too short to get it. " you need some help?" a voice from behind him said. he turned to see who it was and , and it was exactly who he thought it was, it was Damien, smiling at him with a wide smile. " oh, hey, yeah I can't get my coat" Liam said quietly ,expecting for Damien to get his coat for him. ' I wanna mess with him a little bit' Damien thought and, before he knew it, Liam was getting picked up from the back. without thinking about it too much, Liam took his coat quickly and hit Damien's hands with his little fists, even against the hands of a boy his own age. "let me dowwwwn" Liam said, continuing to punch Damien's hands. "ok" Damien laughed Liam gave him an angry look.

when Liam had his coat on, Damien asked " do you wanna walk home with me?" Liam thought about the offer for a second "umm, sure" He said. Then he thought about it again " actually, can I come over to your house?" "I- um sure" Damien said and Liam's face lit up. " let's go!" Liam said in an excited tone.

the walk to Damien's house wasn't far but it felt like hours before they got there , their hands holding onto each other at some point. they stood in front of the beige front door of Damien's house. he knocked loudly , hearing the knocks echoing inside of the house, "he's probably asleep" Damien mumbled as he took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the front door, walking in as soon as the door was unlocked, pulling Liam along with him, then taking his shoes off ,after which he let go of Liam's hand " stay here" he said to Liam.

he went to the nearest room and said "are you serious?" in a disappointed tone when he looked inside. Liam went to check out what Damien was looking at. there, he saw two men both shirtless one laying on the other, cuddling "Bro... what did I say about doing THINGS with your boyfriend on the couch " Damien said as the top boy opened his eyes " you said not to," he replied " and I didn't listen" the man continued. Damien sighed and said "I'm sorry but I didn't want my friend to be scarred for life by seeing you two doing it. ,luckily, it seems like you two are already done and even cleaned up after yourself "

Liam retreated quietly to where he got told to stay earlier and sat down. Damien left the room with an annoyed look on his face then grabbed Liam's wrist and dragged him down to the end of the small hallway to an orange door with a small sign made of cardboard that said 'do not enter' and opened it to reveal a medium-sized bedroom,it's walls a faded navy colour, a small ,red bed in one of the corners and a small cupboard the colour as the bed next to it and a small black desk next to the large window that looked out at the busy town. " go sit on my bed while I get some snacks for us " Damien said as he left the room and Liam did as he was told. around a minute after Damien left the room, a head popped into the room ,it was the same man that Damien was talking with earlier. "you must be my baby bro's friend" he said as he stood in the doorway ,Thankfully, he was now wearing a shirt" my name's Michael but you can call me Mike" the man continued " my baby bro never and I mean NEVER makes ANY friends so it's a big shock that he's already comfortable with bringing you here, what did you do to convince him?". " ummm I didn't really do anything, I just asked" Liam said " well, did something happen before then? he seems to be panicking about something ,like, he's pacing back and forth and his face is REALLY red" Mike said in an evil tone. Liam thought over the day's events and blushed a little " oh, umm, something did happen" he said quietly. "ooooh? what was it? tell me!" mike said with an evil smirk on his face. " so... um first, I was about to cry when introducing myself to the class so he came up to me and held my hand , then, at break, his friends were being mean to him and said something about a secret ,which seemed to make Damien quite upset-" he couldn't finish his sentence when Mike interrupted " he told them his secret!?!? I told him not to trust those guys!?!? about the secret... what did they say!?" " they said that he better let them stay on the swings or they'll tell everyone his secret" Liam explained " THEY WHAT!?!?!?!?!? I knew he shouldn't have trusted them with it! but he never listens of course and then things like this happen!"

Liam took a deep breath and then quietly asked " if it's ok, may I know what this secret of his is?" "oh, it's ok, he seems to trust you and you seem like a nice boy.... um... what is your name?" said Mike " oh, it's Liam" Said Liam " ok, well you seem like a nice and trustworthy boy, Liam, his secret is ..." Mike looked around the room before sitting beside Liam and whispering "his secret is that he's gay" when Mike was sitting up again, Liam said "ok" Mike looked at the boy with a confused look " that's your reaction? no EW or fake puking?" Mike asked " why should I say ew when I, myself, am gay?" Liam asked. this left Mike speechless for a few seconds. "YAY, YOU'RE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS HOUSE!!!" he said laughing " I should leave before Damien returns , you can tell me about the other things that happened another day if Damien doesn't tell me, ok?" Mike said, to which Liam nodded.
