Ethan's POV Just when I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a shower, my phone rang lying on the desk. Gavin who was sitting there, writing something glanced at it and tilted his head to me. " It's Grace.", he announced. " Oh..", I nodded and quickly walked to him, taking the phone from the desk and answering the calls. " Hello Grace, what's up ?", I said into the phone. " Ethan, Nate again started cutting ! " " What ! ", I uttered in extreme shock. " What happened Ethan ?", Gavin asked jumping up from the chair and looking at me anxiously. " Grace, you aren't kidding me, right ?", I asked. " No..he really did Ethan ! He was in an really angry and upset mood since he came back from school and he cut his arm while he was taking a shower. Don't know whether he was cutting since sometime.", She replied in nervousness. I brushed my hair backward and looked at Gavi
" Michael...", I called. He didn't tilt his head. " Now tell it to me in words.", I said. " No..", he shook his head. " Why ?", I asked. My smile was fading. " You are going to the b..ball with Gabriel, right ? After that aren't you g..going to ask her out ?", he asked. " No ! ", I squealed. " I'm not going to the ball with her. In fact I didn't even ask her out for the ball. I just lied to you. And I'm not going to ask her out. I don't like her. I like you !" He finally tilted his head and stared at me as if he don't believe me. " It was all acting Michael. Believe me, I don't like her. " He scrunched his eyebrows and frowned at me. He was so cute that I couldn't help but pinch his cheeks. " I only like you baby.", I said smiling as he yanked away my hand. " You were such a jealous boy.", I chuckled. " But still so stubborn. And you know, you are still being stubborn. You are
Nate's POV I flinch open my eyes as someone beat me hardly on my back. " Hey ! C'mon..wake up ! ", It's Gavin's voice. I try to turn to see his face. But I can't. I'm pressed up tightly against someone's chest with their strong arms wrapped around my waist.It's none else than Ethan. I had told him not to hug me when we finally lied back to sleep yesterday at 3 or 4 Am. And he had agreed after arguing for sometime. But now he has trapped me in between his arms and legs like an octopus. I try to squirm and pull myself away from him. He groans and hugs me more tightly. " C'mon Ethan ! It's past 8: 30 ! ", Grace yells. I see a hand coming down with high speed. And the next moment I hear a loud crack which is followed by an Yelp. Ethan flinch hard and pulls himself away from me. I feel my cheeks heat up as I sit up from the bed followed by Ethan. I can't make myself to look at Gavin or Grace who is standing beside the be
Ethan's POV After first hour I was happily heading to the Biology class to see Michael. He has Biology for second hour. As I turned the left corridor, I saw Gabriel standing in front of a classroom. I prayed she won't see me. But soon she spotted me and smiled at me. I smiled back and she came walking towards me. " Hey..", she said. " Hi..", I responded. " Ahm..Ethan, aren't you going to the ball today ?", She asked. " No. Are you going ?", I asked. " Uhm..no. Why aren't you going ?", she asked. " Don't feel like going. And I've some works to do.", I replied. " Oh...what works ?", She asked. " Works from the days I was absent.". " Oh..I see. Do you want me to help you in copying notes or anything?", She offered. " No thanks.", I chuckled." Okay then. Catch you later." I said and her face went totally pale. But I ignored it and briskly walked
Nate's POV I found myself again entangled in Ethan's arms and legs when I woke up. I pulled away from him and looked up at his face. He was sleeping peacefully whilst snoring softly. He looked really cute at the moment. Like a cute prince. Some of his locks were falling onto his forehead. I slowly brushed them backward and stared at his handsome face. Never in my dreams I thought I would meet someone looking like Alex and then have my first kiss with him and enter into this kind of a relationship with him. In fact I never thought about kissing a guy. This seems strange and unreal. I feel like I'm having a dream and when I wake up I would be on my bed in my home, hugging Alex's pillow. But I know this isn't a dream. Ethan isn't a fantasy. He is real. I can touch and feel him. I moved Ethan's hair on the right side of his head to inspect his wound. It had completely healed. But a scar remained at the place. He groaned and turned, lying on his back as I
Ethan's POV After lying for like ten minutes with his face buried into my pillow, Michael finally turned around on his back. His cheeks still had a pink glow and he was still not looking at me. " Are you shy ?", I asked smiling. He turned his face to the other side and muttered something. " Uhm..? What did you say ?", I asked. He suddenly flinched and shot up from the bed as someone knocked on our door. " C'mon..Ethan, open the door.", Gavin's voice was heard from outside the door followed by a another knock and Michael left a sigh. He thought it was Warden. He was really afraid Mr Garvey would come and catch us here during school time. " Coming ! ", I shouted and crawled out of the bed. I looked at the clock as I walked to the door and found the time was 5 : 40 PM.Oh ! It's this late ? Then where was Gavin until now ? I opened the door and Gavin walked in. He had a plastic bag hanging from h
Ethan's POV After I placed the bill, we walked out of the cafe and headed back in direction of our school. " Why are staring at me ? Look s..straight and walk if you d..don't want to fall. ", he said as I was walking with a little gap from him, staring at his side profile. " I already fell for you. I won't fall again.", I said. He shook his head and left a small sigh. " Between Cupcake, you always eat like this or were you just in a mood to eat a lot today ?", I asked. " No..I always eat like this. Your p..pocket will be empty very soon.", he replied nonchalantly. I couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry baby. My pocket won't empty very fast." " Who worried ?", he asked tilting his face to me. " And s..stop calling me baby and c..cupcake. I'm not a baby." "Yeah..you are a baby. And you are my baby.", I said. " No ! ", he scoffed scrunching up his eyebrows. He looked so cute that I couldn
" Do you want to d..dance with me ?", he asked. I was surprised. " Yeah..", I nodded. He stood up from the chair, fishing his phone out of his pocket. His fingers danced on the phone screen and soon a music, which I instantly recognized as 'Thinking out loud' by Ed Sheeran started to Play. He increased the volume to the maximum and placed it on the desk. Then he looked at me and started slowly walking towards me. I couldn't believe he offered to dance with me. I was standing in surprise even when he came near me. I stood like that looking at his baby blue eyes for a few seconds. He too stared back at me. " Grab my shoulder.", I finally mumbled and soon felt the warmth of his hand on my shoulder. I placed my hands on his hips. Then we started slowly moving to the song, without breaking eye contact. I continued to sway to and fro, staring into his eyes. I didn't feel it would be a good idea to take out my usual party mo
