2024-10-29 19:42:56Bye, mum!"
Liam dashed out the house, his backpack on his shoulder. He was late and Steve was outside already waiting for him.
After a week, school was finally open. The past one week had gone by with him and Steve being around each other. When they weren't texting each other, Steve was at Liam's whiling away time.
It felt different. They were both around each other comfortably with no fear. Jasmine had warned Steve to not break Liam's heart, Trevor asking Liam to do the same. Their friends were aware of their relationship and their parents were in support of it- it was just perfect.
"Good morning, babe," Steve said, watching Liam opened the door and get in.
"Hey, good morning," Liam smiled at him, dropping his backpack in the back seat. "I'm not too late, am i?"
"You are."
"Oops," Liam bit his lip, pulling

“Date me for a month.”“What?”He leaned forward, his hair falling to his face as he moved. He looked at Liam, a smirk making its way to his face as he stared. He was obviously confused, probably even thinking it was a prank. “You heard me right. Date me for a month. That’s my condition.”“Are you-? Oh- I didn’t know you were-“ Liam replied him, making his omission of the ‘word’ too obvious. He hesitated for a while then continued. “I’m not gay.”“You don’t have to be gay.”“Oh, yeah? Then how am I supposed to accept your ridiculous condition to date you when I’m not gay like you,” Liam continued, unsure of how he wasfeeling himself.“Then be gay for me,” Steve said, as he leaned even closer. He smiled, making Liam re

"You burnt the toast, again," Jasmine groaned. "Seriously, Liam."It was a Sunday morning and both Liam and Jasmine were feeling extra hyper. Both waking up few minutes past eight and both being not exactly religious enough to go to church, they ended up in the kitchen hopelessly trying to make edible breakfast."Not really," Liam blinked his eyes. "It's not that bad. Have you ever had burnt toast with orange juice? It's the best.""It sure is," Jasmine replied him, tossing the third burnt toast into the trash can. "So much for 'finally being able to 'cook.'"Okay, no," Liam laughed. He could cook. At least, successfully enough to make his own toast. "I can cook, really. I'm just a little distracted.""Oh, honey," Jasmine turned taking a sip of her orange juice. "What's on your mind?""Nothing.""Don't.""I have school tomorrow," Liam pou

Liam stared at the unfamiliar image in the mirror that seemed to be his. It was a Monday morning and instead of a white shirt, striped trousers, red blazer and a matching red tie, he was putting on a navy blue shirt and black jeans."How's this?""You look like you're going for a job interview," Jasmine replied, from the laptop's screen earning a groan from Liam. Brian had dropped her at her place as early as 6am and got back to patiently wait for Liam to finish getting ready.He was in for a very long wait."What am I supposed to wear then?" Liam whined. "Something's always wrong with everything I pick.""You're going to school, Liam. Not a job interview or a seminar or a freaking burial.""Then what I supposed to wear? A tank top and beach shorts?""Honestly, I wouldn't disapprove," Jasmine flashed him a smile. "First impressions

He got home few minutes past seven after going straight to the hospital after school. His mum was being extra inquisitive about how his first day at school went and even after her told him several times that it was fine, she kept on asking. He groaned as his alarm clock rang again. It was 7:00am already and he wasn’t ready. He skipped just two weeks of school but it felt like two months. There were notes to be made, assignments and most importantly books to be read. He stepped out of the bathroom, hair soaking wet by 7:15am. He already had his natural outfit of the day laid down on his bed. A blue t-shirt and light colored jeans. Hair blow dried and brushed, he grabbed his backpack and fled downstairs. “Did you have breakfast?” was the first thing Brian said to him as he got into the car. “Yes,” he lied. “Oh,” he eyed him suspiciously. “Well, here then.” Liam slowly colle

Nick either had no friends or just really wanted to be friends with Liam.On seeing Liam that Wednesday morning, he asked about his hip and immediately handed him a large bowl of sliced fruits saying vitamins help the bones get stronger.Technically, that was wrong. Liam vividly remembered his elementary school classes on how Calcium were responsible for strong bones and he doubted, strongly, fruits containing that much calcium.Instead of attacking him with the above lecture, he smiled, collected it and said “thanks.” He was thankful though more surprised.Like Nick could hear his thoughts, he quickly added, “It’s no biggie. I told my mum a friend hurt his hip and she just handed me the bowl of fruits to give you so you can feel better.”That made sense. Mothers were like that. His was a huge example. He remembered when he was still 13 and Jasmine was grounded at

“Are you okay, son?” Dr. Oliver Reeds stepped into his huge office to meet his son in an unusual position. He was seated on the couch, head low with his left hand covering half of his face. “Steve?” “Yeah, I’m okay,” he finally unveiled his face, revealing a distressed look. “Did you cry?” his dad asked, immediately bending to look at his face to uncover tear stained cheeks. “My God, you cried. What in the world happened to you?” “Nothing.” “Cut it out, Steve,” his dad sat next to him. “I’m busy and I don’t have to beat around the bush. So tell me, what happened?” “I made that person cry.” “That person?” he asked. “The person that keeps on being cold to you even though you really want to be friends with them?” Steve nodded in reply. “How?” he interrogated. “Did you meet her? Where did you two meet?” “Here

Brian reluctantly dropped Liam off. He had evident mixed feelings about Liam meeting a friend cause he was aware of Liam’s lack of friends. Liam quickly defended himself saying he made new friends in his new school and Brian let it go.He was meeting Steve at a park close to his place. That was the only place he could go and confidently return back home. It wasn’t his fault he didn’t know his way around- a certain Brian Jung had always been around to drive him.He wasn’t sure if he was expecting an instant reply from Steve when he asked them to meet. He needed to talk to him and the best way was to talk to him. Ignoring won’t be as easy and he could always read his face if he decided to be silent.He was still in the outfit from the previous day. He sniffed his armpits, glad he still smelt okay. His hair needed washing but still looked decent so he was good to go.“Liam!” he s

Liam stepped out of the Uber, anxious. He was at Steve's house.He walked to the entrance and pressed the doorbell. He wasn't expecting an empty house. Trevor could be at home with him."Liam," Oliver, Steve's dad was the one that opened the door. "You're here.""Good afternoon sir," he slightly bowed then stepped into the house. "Yes, I am.""Why didn't come visiting again?" he asked as he led the way. "I was almost afraid I'll never see you again.""No, of course not," Liam laughed nervously."You're here to see Steve, right?" Oliver asked after a minute of silence, Liam nodding. "Thank you.""Uh?""Did you guys fight?" he asked. "Was it a really huge fight?"Liam smiled. "Yeah something like that.""Oh," Oliver sighed. "You guys shouldn't argue. Look at Steve now, sul

Empty houses, shut doors and tears soaked pillows.Liam had never been that glad his mum was out of town for a business trip. Not caring about how much the Uber was going to charge him for ordering so late, he ordered a Uber from Trevor's place and was able to get home in about thirty minutes.On getting home, he locked the doors, turned off all the nights and headed to his room. Tears filled his eyes as he climbed his bed, pulling his duvets close to him.He was hurt. He was in so much pain he almost felt like his heart couldn't handle it. His biggest fear finally came true and he had no one but himself to blame.His phone vibrated in his pocket and he wiggled to take it out. It was a call from Steve. With even more tears rolling down his cheeks, he declined the call.Steve obviously wasn't getting the message that Liam didn't want to talk to him as he kept on

It was just another party at Trevor's with Steve picking Liam up.It was evening and Liam was all dressed up and ready. Jasmine wasn't attending the party but promised to attend the actual Halloween party leaving Liam to wait for Steve alone."You look really nice," Steve commented on checking Liam out. "And no, don't tell me you're wearing just another regular t-shirt and jean cause damn, you'd look fine in even the most simple clothes."Liam beamed. He knew he looked good when he looked into the mirror. He was wearing a dark colored turtle necked top and grey ripped jeans. His hair was brushed and shone. He had Steve's necklace on, glistening as he walked. "Thank you.""You're welcome," Steve turned the car on. "Tomorrow's Halloween. What are you wearing?""Just a t-shirt and jeans," Liam looked out of the window. "Told you I'm not a fan of all those things."

"School's closed for a week!"The unexpected announcement give life to a positive response from the crowd. It was like music to their ears to hear school was going to be locked.It was a Monday morning and they were ready to leave. Liam had spent the previous night in silence, going to bed immediately after shutting Jasmine up. He was positive Nick was avoiding him as much as he was- he didn't sleep in the tent that night.Liam was avoiding Steve and he knew it. He packed his bags and left to wait by the bus alone. When it was time to get into the bus, he got in and sat in the farthest seat.Liam caught Steve walking into the bus and he immediately shifted his gaze. Immediately, he shut his eyes and rested his head on the window."Liam?"He recognized the voice and knew it was best to not acknowledge it. Shutting his eyes even tighter, he ignored Steve's voic

Jasmine's team didn't win the treasure hunt either but at least she was able to come out smiling and laughing with Steve and Trevor."How was the treasure hunt?" she asked when the game was over. "Right, you were paired with Nick. Must have been very awkward.""Not really," Liam shook his head. "We decided not to play in my team.""What?""You heard me right," he couldn't even laugh at himself. "Me and my group members decided we weren't interested in the game. It was cool. I didn't have to stress myself.""How depressing," Jasmine smiled, sadly."How was yours? Playing with Steve and Trevor?"He was curious on how actual playing the games went but he was more curious on how it was being on the same team with Steve."It was fun!" Jasmine didn't need to exclaim for Liam to know it was really fun. "And honestly, T

By seven am, Steve was already at Liam's.Liam was also ready. Dressed in a black sweater and dark jeans, he was waiting outside with his bag next to him.Steve arrived and they bid Liam's mum goodbye then left. The ride to school was cheerful, both having sandwiches Steve made for breakfast and talking about music and food."Hiiiiii," Jasmine excitedly said as she spotted them at school. "Great. We're all going.""Yeah." Replies were mumbled and in unison."Come on let's go," she linked arms with both of them. "I heard the bus would be moving in about fifteen minutes. Let's get our name tags now."They got their name tags, Liam and Steve helping each other put it on. They then headed outside to where the rest of the students were."Do you know if Nick would be coming too?" Liam asked Jasmine, looking around him.

"Did you get home late yesterday?""No not really," Jasmine replied Liam, taking out books from her locker. "You could have texted to ask if you were curious.""I would have but I got all," he stopped to think. "Busy?""Busy? Cleaning up or what?""Nah," he watched her slam her locker shut. "More like emotionally busy.""I don't get you.""I told my mum, Jasmine."Jasmine stopped in her tracks. "You did what?""I told her," he bit his lip. "About me and Steve. No, don't freak out. Not the whole details but point is, she knows I like him.""Damn," Jasmine was obviously surprised. "I did not see that coming. What did she say?"She was cool," Liam replied, remembering. "She told me not to let go of someone I like so easily.""And?"
