2-Uncalled love confession
Kenton's pov
"Hey man how did it go last night?"
"It was fine just the usual."
"Aw, you're no fun. Not a single detail!"
"Why are you so interested in my love life anyway?"
"Eh, what? Aren't I allowed to know?"
"I'm really starting to think you're gay for real Sam."
"Ohhh" Great now the other guys are interested in that too.
"What makes you say that?"
"You always want to know details of my one-night stands when it concerns boys. You sure you're not gay?"
"What? Nonsense, Kaitlyn told me that girls always ask their friends about the details. So you're basically my only friend that has an existent love life."
"Hey!" The other boys yell feeling attacked.
"What? It's true boys. Oliver, I think not even one girl would even look twice at you. Jack, why are you always so mysterious? You'll never get a girl like that."
"So the spotlight is on us now?"
"Yeah"
"Ugh, you know that you're annoying sometimes right Sam?"
"Aw, don't be such a meanie! You think you're all cool and all while I think you're an asshole!"
"Hey chill out guys here. We don't want the attention to be brought onto us right?"
"Yeah, yeah if you say so, Oliver."
"Let's go to your locker, Kenton!"
"Sure"
Sam might get all excited about my one-night stand but it really was not.
Yeah, I used to be more of a playboy before and actually hooked up with anyone that would interest me but lately, it hasn't been that all that much. My reputation still stuck to me.
I think it had to do with my ex, yeah my ex. That ex just changed everything. Just a few weeks ago I was in a relationship so it isn't surprising that I'm not all for hooking up.
Sure I'm over that ex after what they've done to me but still, it seems like I'm not the same anymore. I've changed it seems.
I know it sounds odd coming from me but that's true. I don't know if I should be worried that I'm not as interested in only having fun.
All I know is that right now I'm not open to a relationship. I'm still freshly single and I've got no interest in going through what my ex did again.
Anyway, yesterday it wasn't that much. The guy liked me and as I promised, he was at my house last night.
I think the guy wanted more of a date but he knew I wasn't interested in that.
Even if it's that, I did exactly as usual, I hooked up with him as promised and that was it. There wasn't anything special at all and it didn't last long either. So much for the first guy I hooked up since my ex.
Regardless, we walk in the direction of my locker. As soon as we arrive at my locker, I unlock my locker, then I start putting my backpack and my other stuff in it.
"Are you still thinking about that ponytail guy from yesterday?"
"No why?"
"I don't know, don't you wonder if he'll be at the party?"
"Who cares? Like Jack told me I should forget about him." Yeah, the ponytail guy...maybe that's who I'm interested in but he's a lost cause.
"Aw, but I like this ponytail guy! He seems a bit mysterious but obviously not like Jack here." He nudges Jack's shoulder. Jack scoffs in return.
While Sam and Jack have a silent fight between them, I finish putting all my things in my locker and I close it right after.
"Oh relax boys. He keeps ignoring me anyways so I guess I should give up." Sam turns around to face me previously having been busy mentally fighting Jack.
"But...but.. you shouldn't give up that easily. The Kenton I know never gives up!" I nervously smile and I lightly scratch the side of my jaw.
"Thanks?"
"Ok let's go now. The girls are waiting for us!"
"Stop being so impatient Oliver!"
"What? I miss them already!"
"At this rate, we might think you're secretly dating one of the girls." Oliver instantly blushes.
"What's with you and your assumptions Kenton?"
"What? Aren't I allowed to say what I think? Besides you guys suspected I liked guys a few years ago and you were right so...I think it's fair to say that there must be some kind of truth in all of this."
"Yeah, sure." Oliver scoffs.
Now he's denying it? I clearly saw him blush moments ago.
"Then do you have some kind of assumption on me?"
"What? No,"
"Huh? I was sure you had one. You guys keep being so sure of yourselves about one's personal life but none about me?" Jack says.
"How about I think about it later?" Jack fakes a pout and then returns to his usual natural expression. Seriously, pouting truly doesn't suit him, I swear.
"Fine"
We all walk in the direction of where the girls are. It seems like they picked a table in the lobby. How nice. I guess it's kind of an advantage to being friends with early birds. They always arrive so early in the morning. Damn, sometimes I wonder if those girls are truly girls.
"Hey, where were you guys at? We've been waiting for the last 20 minutes or so."
"Those two were kind of busy fighting by only using eye contact." Kaitlyn laughs.
"Like the usual."
"I was thinking about it last night and what are you guys doing for Thanksgiving? It's next week and I have yet to know your plans so..."
"I'll probably be eating dinner with my parents as usual. Apparently, my older brother Nolan is coming home for Thanksgiving so yeah it's definitely not a chance to miss."
"OK, you Jack?"
"Ah, I'll probably be spending it at my grandparent's house as usual. Nothing too huge tho."
"Oh...ok Sam?"
"Meh, I'll probably be doing a quick dinner with my dad nothing else.." Yeah, Sam's family situation is off-limits.
"Oh yeah, your dad is always busy."
"Yeah..."
"How about you Oliver?"
"I'll probably go to Oklahoma to visit my distant relatives so...I won't be here if you're thinking about seeing all of us during the Thanksgiving weekend."
"Oh okay. Well, that sums it up. You're right I was hoping to invite all of you guys to celebrate Thanksgiving cause' that way it would've been our first time celebrating a holiday together but I guess it won't be the case." Yeah, Kaitlyn is a part of the infamous quad.
"Sh*t sorry, I can't make it."
"No, no it's fine. I already made plans to spend Thanksgiving at Meghan's house so...I'll be fine I guess."
Meghan, she's not close to me per se but closer to Kaitlyn. Thus, she hangs out with us.
She has black hair with a bit of freckle on her face, tanned skin and green eyes I believe. Quite the mix. Though she is small compared to Kaitlyn.
"Oh ok then."
"OK, so what's the latest news in the school about?"
They continue talking but I don't know why I'm thinking about some crap Oliver did in the past.
Oliver is my second closest buddy. He is an Afro-American and he dyed his black hair blond. Why? I don't know style I guess.
He's the bulky one in the group. He could be a footballer if he would. Though none of us play Football, it's not our thing.
He joined Sam and I in middle school way before Jack did. We became a trio onwards. Thus, why the quad of today had yet to exist then.
So Inseparable we were and still are. I'm not nearly as close as I was with Oliver before but he's still a bro I cherish a lot. Always will be.

I wonder if that guy will come to Delilah's party. He doesn't seem like the type to want to go to a party. Who am I to talk? Everyone is invited according to Delilah.
I kind of wish I'd see him there...I'm still drawn to him and I don't know why. I just can't help but notice how pretty he looks. He looks out of the ordinary and is such a mystery. I've been paying a close look at the small details about him ever since calculus class started.
I've noticed how he flinches when the teacher says his name out loud when Mr. Caliber takes the class attendance. Hm, how strange.
Apparently, his name is Liam but I can't help but think there's something more to his name and I don't know why. He likes taking notes whether it's English class or even arts class strange enough but cute nonetheless.
Today he put his long dark auburn brown hair in a braid. He's the only guy in my class that does that. I find it fascinating how he's able to ignore all the degrading comments about his hair.
I kind of wished I had his confidence. I'm not that confident unlike what people normally would think.
I have yet to properly see his eyes but I'm pretty sure they are beautiful brown color.
I think I could continue staring at him all class long but I guess good things have to end at some point, right?
"Mr Miller!"
"Yes?" I respond suddenly on high alert.
"Can you tell me what is the answer for the 2 equations of 7x+5y=79 and 8x+7y=83?"
"Uh, 25 and 78?" Mr. Caliber sighs loudly like he's regretting his choice of becoming a teacher and then he starts lecturing me.
"Mr. Miller you should listen to my class more often you'll be able to give logical answers." Everyone in the class bursts out laughing.
"Quiet class! Mr Davis! Can you give me the right answer?!"
"It's 17 and -8." He says it as if it's a fact.
"That's correct!"
"See Mr Miller? He can give me the right answer because he listens to all the classes I give you guys!"
"Now where were we?"
Well, that was quite embarrassing. Did he have to point that out and on top of that make Liam answer instead of me? Argh, this is why I hate school but regardless, this means he's smart. I like that.

I just arrived at Delilah's house with my friends. Wow, her house is kind of sick. Her parents must be loaded for them to have a house that looks like a mansion.
"Damn, this house is huge! Did you guys know she was loaded or what?!" Sam says in amazement.
"I had no idea she'd had such a house, geez."
"Now it feels like we're underdressed compared to what this house looks like."
"No, no we'll be fine. Trust me Sam you shouldn't be worried over nothing. I'm sure we're not the only ones who didn't know about her parents owning a legit mansion!" Oliver says.
"Sure we're not. Look at the other guys over there. Look at how they're dressed up!"
"Esh, it really seems like we're at those rich people's parties," Jack complains.
"Yeah, yeah now come on. We're not gonna stay outside all night long. It's freezing cold here!"
"Oh shut up Oliver! It ain't that cold come on. It's f**king November dude. Wait till it's January I don't think you'll survive at this rate if you're already freezing at this state."
"Oh shut it, Jack! Let's go now!"
"Yeah, let's go have fun!"
We all head inside. Oh wow, it's well-decorated. I don't think I've been to such a luxurious party before.
Hmm, I'm pretty sure there's some alcohol here.
Some girls are partying in the living room. There's a pool game where some people are playing. I think there's a pool in the backyard with all those huge ass windows, it's pretty clear to me at least. People should be sick if they go in the pool at this time of the year.
Sure there isn't any snow yet but there are some places up north that are already under snow. That's crazy. There's barely any snow that falls over here or any. Last year we had snow in January which was a miracle may I add. Not too sure about this year but we'll see.
There's some music blasting in the house. There are some people already drinking. Some people are literally already making out on the couch. Damn, they're fast. I think I'll be having a blast tonight.
————
It's been already 2 hours now and I'm surrounded by a few girls already. I drank I'd say one beer but that's about it. Those girls though look too tipsy to me to be sober.
"Hey, what'd you doing there Kenton?" A girl says in a tipsy voice.
"I'm just chilling with my beer," I say plainly.
"Ohhh, Here I was hoping you'd want to play a little game with me."
"Nah, not tonight Bianca."
Bianca the annoying girl. She has light brown mid-length hair with green eyes. She's quite small dare I say but she's got quite the attitude going on, so she's mid to me.
"Aw, but I really want to." She whines attempting to be cute but fails.
"If sex is what you're looking to get from me, I'm sorry to say this but I'm not doing it tonight."
"What why?"
"I'd rather chill with my beer here." I try to reason with her.
"Ugh, you're such a buzz kill Kenton. Has anyone told you that before?"
"Nope never."
"Huh, 'cause you act like one tho."
"Thanks, I guess."
"Thanks? You nuts? It's not a compliment I'm giving you, you know?"
"Yeah, I know."
It's then I notice the guy I desperately wanted to see tonight, Liam. He's standing awkwardly with his group of friends by the staircase. Well, that's reassuring to know he's here. Now should I give talking to him a chance again? I look around. No, he'll never want to talk with me with that many people around.
"Hello, earth to Kenton!"
"Uh yeah what?"
"I was talking about having a party next week at my house during Thanksgiving weekend, you in?"
"Sure"
"Aw be more optimistic than that!"
"What do you want to say more than that?"
"I don't know say that you can't wait to see me?"
"As if as I'd say that. You're just a plain girl to me Bianca. Nothing about you stands out."
"Not even the fact that I'm hot?"
"No, go find someone else to play with."
"Ugh fine,"
Finally, she's gone. It was kind of awkward now that I think about it. Her friends were looking at us from behind that gave me the creeps.
I decided to move from where I'm from and go to a more quiet area. There are not a lot of people in the little hallways behind the kitchen I guess I can go there.
"Hey, where are you going?!"
"What Sam?"
"Are you abandoning us?!"
"I thought I already did through?"
"Ugh, fine go wherever you want to go besides I'm sure it's because you want a little bit more private time with your little fling?" He wiggles his eyebrows.
"The f**k Sam no. I only want to stop being bothered by those girls."
"Are you thinking about Bianca and her group of friends?"
"Yeah"
"I'll tell Jack to go have a little chat with them."
"Thanks, Sam it'll be hopeful. Now go back to what you were doing."
"Yeah, sure. You better tell me all the details tomorrow!
"I'm not doing anything with anyone!"
"Sure, keep thinking that!" Sam winks at me.
He leaves and I go into the hallways. Hah, it's really quiet here. Finally, I'm all alone. No need to worry about Bianca and whoever wants to f**k with me again.
I lean into the wall with my beer in my hand. I check if I have any phone notifications. Of course, I have one. It's a text from Bianca telling me to f**k off. How great. I chuckle a little then I turn off my phone just to be met with that ponytail guy. Wait what?
"Um...you're not...busy are ya?"
"No why?" Am I drunk or something?
"It's just...Yeah, I have something to tell you..."
"Sure what is it?" Interesting...
"Uh...um this is awkward but I've noticed you a few months ago and can't help but think that you're...hot and...and..." He says awkwardly.
"Wait stop going around the bush. What is it that you really want to tell me?" He looks so embarrassed right now. Now that I look clearly at his face, he's completely red, mad red. Hmm, he thinks I'm hot...
"Uh...I know it's lame but...I...I like you, like a lot!"
"What?"
The ponytail guy likes me?!
