It feels like a date was all Carl thought because honestly what more could you possibly expect when the man of your dreams ask you out to 'hang out'? Of course the sudden gesture of kindness was surprising but Carl took the chance. He had met up with Jimothy at the school gates and now was sat down in a nearby café. A fancy one too.

Everything had looked spectacular, Carl couldn't even image someone complaining about the café, why would you complain when there was literally nothing to complain about? Everything was literal perfect, making the café itself seem like heaven.

Carl had been left to talk with Jimothy's friends while Jimothy went to grab their drinks. If everyday was so relaxing then why would you need to stress anymore? He had slumped up in his seat and stare out the window, only to catch the picturesque view of the seaside. A beach café. How nice.

"So what do you do in your spare time?"

Carl had been snapped out of his thoughts at the moment the question was asked, he forcefully turned his head to face a tanned jock wearing glasses. Theo Crumble.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

Carl's throat felt sore just by speaking, oh, how much he despised socialising with others...

"What do you do in your spare time?"

The question had been asked again. Simple, Songs he thought but a quick thought had stopped him from answering. What if they thought music was lame?

"Umm... I like to umm... "

Screw this, why should Carl lie?

"I like to listen to Music and stuff, you know."

"Oh. Okay, cool, same here"

Carl had sighed of deep relief, thank god, he thought. He was so glad that he didn't mess up already. The other guy, Liam, seemed fairly surprised and without hesitation asked:

"What songs do you like?"

Carl smiled but realisation hit him, really hit him, should he be honest? Isn't that a terrible idea? Tell them that he liked Gay and depressing songs? Yeah, Terrible idea.

"Umm... You know, the usual..."

Theo and Liam only nodded and finally stopped with the conversation at last. Thank God!

Before long, A large Cream toffee latte had been placed right in front of Carl. It was perfectly swirled and decorated with rainbow colours (reminding Carl of the Pride flag instantly). However, the part that caught Carl's eyes were the guy giving it. The hand on the latte had connected to Jim. Oh nope, too close...

Carl shuffled farer away so one, Jim could take a seat and two, they both had their personal bubbles and space around them.

"So Carl, heard a brand new rumour from Stacy Borgans and just wanted to confirm, Are you gay?"

Carl heart skipped way faster than usual.
