Heart Strings

Part 2: Ship Dynamic: Enemies To Lovers

"Of course not! I my self am gay, and I've put people like you and Chris together so easily before. This'll be a walk in the park." I said, sitting against the lockers next to Tristan.

"Um.. ok then.. what's the plan?" Tristan asked.

I stuck my hand out towards him and opened it, revealing a folded piece of paper in my hand.

"Here. Put this in Chris's locker. All it says is to meet you in the English class closest to the gym after school today." I said.

Tristan took the paper out of my hands and opened it. He continued to read it until he spoke back up.

"So.. what exactly am I supposed to do?" Tristan asked.

"I got inside in tell in the both of you and Chris. You both apparently like festivals and fireworks. So, invite him to go to the festival with you next week." I answered with a smile.

"Um.. ok.. thanks Nathan!" Tristan said.

He got up off of the floor and dashed down the hallway. Probably going to Chris's locker. I got up as well, and continued to walk down the hallway so I could go to class.

Fortunately enough, I was pulled into an empty classroom. I got a good look of who it was. Christopher. Whatever could he need?

"Chris? What's up?" I asked with a smile.

Chris was pacing back and forth and seemed a little nervous about something.

"I'm fucking terrified right now, Nathan." Chris said.

I got a look at his face and noticed he was blushing like crazy. Chris has red hair and blue eyes that are complemented by a face full of freckles.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I think I like a guy.." Chris said nervously.

"Hmm? Really? Well there's nothing wrong with tha-"

"Not just any guy, Nathan. I mean- god.. I think I like Tristan.." Chris interrupted in a shy whisper.

Yep. This is going to be way to easy.

"And what's the issue with that?" I said with a smirk.

"It's just.. I'm pretty sure Tristan hates me- and- he's straight! His girlfriend is the Brittany Thomas! She's so out of my league it's not even funny!" Chris said in a nervous rant.

"Uh.. hey Chris?" I tried to get his attention.

Chris stopped pacing and looked at me.

"Yeah? what is i-"

"Tristan and Brittany kind of broke just minutes ago. I heard the entire thing." Chris's jaw dropped and his face lit up.

"Just blow off this period and go to your locker. Everything will be fine." I said, putting my hand on Chris's shoulder.

"Umm- ok! I'll see you later, Nathan!" Chris said before running out of the classroom.

"Looks like I'm skipping this period.." I said quietly and sat down in one of the desks in the empty classroom.

************************************
~After school~
          *Chris's P.O.V*

Earlier today I got a note from Tristan that asked me to meet him in the English classroom closest to the gym. And considering what me and Nathan talked about earlier today, he was in on whatever this is.

I walked into that classroom and saw Tristan nervously leaning against the teacher's desk. He soon saw me and his face got a little red before he pushed off of the desk and walked over to me.

I could feel the heat rise to my face.

Tristan is a little bit taller than me. He has black hair and brown eyes that are brought out by his tan skin color.

God is he handsome..

Tristan stopped right in front of me and rubbed his neck shyly. One of the things that make him look cuter more than an intimidating type of handsome.

"U-umm.. did you want to talk to me?" I asked shyly, closing the door behind me and leaning against it.

"Uh- yeah.." Tristan said.

"Well? Out with it."

I mentally slapped myself for that one.

Tristan got a little more nervous and tense at my remark.

"Um.. I was wondering if you'd.. if you'd maybe like to.." Tristan stuttered a lot in a shy tone as his face covered with a darker colored blush.

What's he so nervous for? I'm the one whose heart is beating out of my chest!

"Yeah..?" I asked, trying to get him to speak up a little more.

"Um.. would you like to go to the festival with me next week?" Tristan said flustered.

I blushed and my eyes widened. I covered my mouth shyly.

"U-um.. sure.." I answered shyly.

"Uh- great! What's your address? I'll come pick you up if you want?" Tristan asked excitedly.

I told him my address and he wrote it down.

"I'll come pick you up at 6:30! Is that good for you?" Tristan asked.

"Y-yeah. That works." I said flustered.

"I'll see you tomorrow- um.. have a good day, Tristan!" I said shyly before walking out of the room happily.

*Tristan's P.O.V*

After Chris walked out of the classroom, Nathan walked into the room.

"That was so cute!" Nathan said in a dreamy tone.

"Hey! Guess what! Tristan, you have a date!" Nathan said.

I blushed a lot at the idea of having a date with the boy I've been crushing on for maybe three months now.

"If anything goes wrong, don't worry. I'll be at the festival to. So just message me how things are going ok?" Nathan said happily.

"Um.. ok!" I walked out of the room with a little jump in my step.

I'm gonna get to have a date with Chris!
