Mason’s POV 

“Earth to Mason!” Devon spoke as he kicked my chair, a little harder then he intended.  

I regretted not having all four chair legs on the ground, I fell backward. “Fuck, Devon!”  

Asher started laughing his ass off. “Karma for when you pushed me down the stairs,” Asher whispered in my ear as i tried to get up. 

“We were 6! Ash, you can’t seriously be petty about that still?” 

I looked over to see Danny chuckling at the scene, he stopped the second he saw me looking at him, I smiled softly. 

“Maze, I'll pay you 100 bucks, if you can get Danny to fall for you,” Devon joked. 

“Seriously?” Danny was the one everyone made bets on, I never agreed to them, because I didn’t want to hurt him, but there was something different this time. 

“Dead serious, if you can do it in a month ill pay you 100 bucks, on my life.” 

“Deal,” I didn’t want to agree but something about this time his time made it different. 

“Damn Maze, agreeing that fast might make someone think your into him,” Asher joked, but he noticed my face heat up when he said that. 

“Asher, Masons not gay, he just finally learned the art of fucking with the queers,” Devon smiled as he spoke, i instantly looked down. “Well Maze, in order to earn the money, you gotta go talk to him.” 

I slowly stood up and began walking over to Danny. My heart was pounding out of my chest. 

“Oh, hey Mason,” he said with a soft smile. God damn it, I actually fucking like him, why did I agree to the bet... i don't want to hurt him. 

“Doyouwannamaybehangoutafterschool?” I spoke so fast I almost didn't understand myself. 

“Huh? Can you say that again?” 

I closed my eyes. “Do you want to hang out with me after school?  

He smiled at me, “Sure!” 

“By the bleachers?” He nodded. 

I walked back over to see Asher looking like he knew something, and Devon being an oblivious idiot. 

The bell rang for the final class of the day, Math with Mr. Davis. I sat beside Asher in that class. 

“Today we will be doing a math assignment. It will be done in partners, your partner will be your seatmate,” Mr. Davis said as he stood at the front of the room. 

I turned to face Asher, he had that same expression as before. “How did it go with Danny,” I could feel my face heating up extremely quick. 

“How do you think..?” I mumbled, staring at my desk, not wanting to make eye contact. 

“From your body language, I'll guess it went well, and that you aren’t doing it for the money,” my eyes went wide, “I’m right, aren’t I?” He had a shit eating grin plastered on his face, like he just learned the greatest thing in the world. 

“Fuck off,” I whispered, still looking away, “but yes... your right... just do not tell Devon, or mom.” 

He did a zipping motion and put his hands up in surrender. “I won’t say shit, you know that,” he had a smirk on his face, “but i am surprised that you like Danny, like Daniel Hall, the one Devon has tried to make bets involving you on, that you never accepted, until now,” he had more of an confused expression now. 

“The only reason i agreed this time was because i finally had the courage, and $100 is the most Devon would be willing to give, so,” I laid my head back on my chair, my hands on my head, i had a small smile on my face thinking about Danny. 

“So, was Danny, your like, gay awakening or were you already into guys before him. If he was your awakening, that's a kinda weak gay awakening, no offense,” Asher chuckled.  

“I am taking full offense on that, don't disrespect him like that, also who are you to judge me on my gay awakening? It's not like your gay,” I chuckled softly, I stopped when he didn’t respond. 

“I mean I’m not necessarily gay, but i do like guys, and my gay awakening is better, Harry Potter... or Devon,” I immediately sat up and stared at him. 

“Devon? The same Devon the second I agreed to the deal, said I learned the art of fucking with queers, That Devon?”  

“Oh fuck off, he’s hot, he’s an asshole but he’s hot,” His face was red as fuck, he was smiling like a madman too. 

 “Well fuck, looks like mom has no chance of getting grandkids without assistance.” I chuckled. 

Me and Asher started working on the assignment, finishing it in a few minutes. 

“I must say, I'm surprised you two finished so quickly,” Mr. Davis said 

“Really?” 

“No, you two are the last to finish, this was supposed to take 10 minutes, you boys took 25,” Me and Asher stared at each other, “You are lucky it's not for marks.” 

We both left the class and went to our lockers, “So you are really into Devon, of all people?” I joked as i grabbed my bag. 

“Well, your into Danny, so you cant say shit,” He smiled at me, “Mom really lucked out with 3 gay kids.” 

“Don’t forget about a gay ex-husband. If this is genetic, we got it from dad,” I chuckled as we walked out of the school. 

Devon was standing out by the flag post. I saw Danny by the bleacher. “Have fun with your boyfriend, I have a date with a cute boy,” I whispered in Ashers ear as I turned to walk towards Danny. I turned to see Asher trying to figure out a lie to tell Devon on why his face was red. 

I saw Danny smile as I walked towards him, “I thought you’d stand me up.” 

I put my hand on the side of his face, I blushed as he leaned into my touch, “Why would I stand up a beautiful boy like you?” I tried to smile but he looked so fucking cute, so I kept blushing like crazy. 

“You look cute when your blushing,” He smiled, I felt like I was gonna melt right there and then. I wanted to kiss him so badly, but he beat me to it.
