Daniel+Jack=❤❤❤

8th grade

Daniel's POV

One sunny day during 6th period my best friend Jack sat beside me. He was not the paying attention type. He would always talk about football or baseball. He mostly talked about the Kansas City Chiefs. The teacher was easygoing and never cared if Jack or I were talking over him. I was about to start taking notes in my notebook but Jack took my notebook and wrote something.
It said, "I like you."
He gave the notebook back to me, and I read the note. Then, I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. I walked out of the classroom and started thinking.
I thought, "Why would he like an ugly person? I'm so ugly." 
I walk back into the classroom. I sit down and I write back to Jack.
I write, "I like you too."
I realized Gay Straight Alliance is today, so I messaged my mom and said that I needed to stay after for a class. She messaged back and said that I could stay after the class, but if I went to Gay-Straight Alliance, she would not be happy.
The bell rang and Jack and I walked to GSA. While we were walking Jack asked me out. I said yes to him. We walked into the classroom and everyone stared at us. I ran out of the classroom walked into the bathroom and locked the door. Jack follows me and starts knocking on the door.
"Daniel? Are you ok?" Jack asked.
"No, I don't like being stared at," I say.
"Do you want to go to a park and hang out?" Jack asked.
"Yeah. Sure." I respond as I unlock the door.
Jack and I start walking to the park. Jack reaches for my hand and grabs my hand.
"You know tomorrow is the last day of school?" Jack asked.
"Yeah," I say while looking down.
Jack pulls me into a hug while I tear up.
"It'll be ok Daniel."
"I know but it will be 3 months until I can see you. I'm going to Maine to spend the summer with my grandparents and my great-grandparents."
"You can still call me whenever you want."
"Ok. I have to go home. My mom just messaged me." I say.

Jack POV
Daniel left me unexpectedly. I know iit'sonly been about 2 minutes but I wish I could be by his side. I know I will see him at school tomorrow but school is only for 2 hours.
"What's the point of having a boyfriend?" I thought to myself.
I know I was being a little overreactive but still. He always says his mom messaged him when she didn't. I decided to text Daniel and say that I wouldn't be going to school tomorrow and that I would be missing the end-of-the-year party for GSA.
Daniel messages me back and says that if I don't go to school then he won't go to school either.
I was fine with that, I guess. I decide to go home and lock myself in the bathroom. I message Daniel and tell him that I can't be alone. He says that he will come over and stay with me as long as I need him to. I tell him to not knock on the door and that he can walk right into my house but he has to knock on the bathroom door.
Daniel walks into my house and knocks on the bathroom door. I told him that I had an urge to drop out of school.
