Okay...I may or may not have been eavesdropping. Fine, I was hiding behind a door listening to Stan's and Wendy's conversation. I just wanted to make sure Stan was okay and not bawling his eyes out. I'm surprised Stan took it well, he looked pretty relieved, huh...

I see Stan coming my way, I'm still behind a door so that'd be pretty strange if he caught me. I walk towards the classroom's door. pretending like I just got there.

"Oh, Kyle wait up!"
I heard my sbf's voice behind me. A soft smile creeps onto my face and I turn around to face him.

"Hey Stan, what's up?"
I smile warmly, I'm glad Stan took the break up well. It's nice to see him so serene.

"Well uh- I just kinda broke up with Wendy, you're right, we weren't made for each other I guess. But I'm not sad about it, promise"
I see a genuine smile on his face, I sigh gratefully.

"I'm happy to hear that dude, you absolutely positive tho?" I say with a slight eyebrow raise, better safe than sorry. (I already knew the answer but it's best to ask anyway)

"Mhm! Trust me, I really am" he said in a reassuring tone.

I nod, I believe him, it put me at ease honestly.

"So you wanna sit next to each other in class? The teacher is pretty boring"

"Sure dude" I replied with a shrug

Stan then holds my hand...my heart flutters with joy. Why am I so happy about this? I don't like him like that, I'm not gay, I'm not gay. I repeat in my mind.

We sit next to each other, I can see Stan glancing at me in the corner of my eye. I want to giggle and kick my feet, but I just lean my head on my hand, my elbow on the table, and smile slightly.

I glance back at him, I wouldn't call it a moment but, it sure did feel like one. We had eye contact for a couple of seconds, I could see redness grow on Stan's cheeks, he's so cute. I could go on for days talking about how great he is. We both then look forward at the chalkboard with Spanish words.

But I can't stop thinking.

Maybe I do like him? But even if I did I need to keep it hidden, it could ruin our friendship, what we have...I love Stan too much to lose him.

He's my everything.
