Mitch's POV

At math class, Joe and I were getting along pretty well. We both talked about our interests and important topics. By important, I mean talking about dumb things. I learned that he wanted to be an archaeologist ever since when he was little and his favorite animal is a penguin. Very interesting.

When class ended, we both went to the next class as we have the last class together. As we got to the class, we sat down and started chatting away. The teacher wasn't even here yet so the class messed around a bit. And yes, I do mean a bit. They must of been a little more mature over the summer or something.

But then I saw him again. It was Jerome. He wasn't with anyone or at least I didn't think he was with anyone.

Mitch you're fucked. He's here. Run.

I ignored what the voice said because I can't skip the class. Education is important but I still don't know what to do in life.

Jerome glanced at me but then look away quickly. He sat a few desks away from me which I was thankful for. I'm glad he isn't near me. I would of been dead for sure. I looked back at Joe and saw that he was looking at the window. I thought the trees and bright green grass was nice until I saw what he was actually looking at.

It was two groups of people playing soccer. Was he into soccer or something? Maybe he wanted to join the team. But he was actually looking at one of the players. Caspar Lee.
Before I could react, the teacher came in and quiet down the class. He introduced himself as Mr Adams and told us the rules and other things.

I wasn't really paying attention until he said that we have to introduce ourselves one at a time. I groaned as well as the other kids. I mean, this is highschool. Not second grade.

As a lot of people introduced themselves, it was my turn. My heart was beating when Joe finished introducing himself. He seemed scared as I am. But I was more scared. We had to say our name and tell something about us. I sighed and stood up and looked over the people who were looking at me, probably thinking who the hell am I.

"Uh I'm Mitch and I like playing video games," I said quickly and sat down. I sighed of relief. I was finally finished. It was honestly a huge accomplishment for me.

Mitch it was no big deal. Stop being a wuss.

The voice was correct. I need to stop being afraid of the little things.
Then it was Jerome's turn. Some people started smiling and quietly cheering for him. Me in the other hand was groaning. I wasn't happy to see his face again.
"I'm Jerome and I like sports."

No shit Sherlock we know that shit, I thought to myself.

After a bunch of people finished introducing we started working on history. As I was listening and taking notes on my red notebook, I felt like someone was staring at me. I knew it wasn't Joe because he was asking a question. I looked up and to the right to see that it was the one and only Jerome. He noticed that I knew he was staring at me and then he started blushing and went back to his notes. I blushed as well and in excitement. It's not an every day thing where a boy is staring at you. Especially for me.

Isn't that the guy who was harsh on you earlier? You're not falling for him aren't you?

Falling for him? No fucking way. He's a jerk and an idiot. Why would I fall for him? He was harsh on me earlier so why I would fall for him? Plus doesn't he have all the girls? And he's fucking straight so nope.

After a while the bell ringed and I was so excited to go home. I can finally be on my computer and ignore reality. But then I'd have to deal with my family annoying me. Especially since this is the first day of school. They're probably going to be asking me a million questions.

I walked out of the class with my backpack with an excitement facial expression. But then I realized I have to go back to school tomorrow and my smile turned upside down. I was alone (or at least I thought it was) at the hallway since I am slow as a turtle. But I heard a few noises when walking. It felt like someone was stalking me. I got scared so I turned around and was about to punch them in the face until I saw who it was.

It was Jerome.

Can't that man go away? My eyes widened and I clenched my fist. I didn't need to deal with this right now. My jaw dropped but I quickly snapped it.

"What do you want?" I said a little harshly.

"Sorry I just want to apologize about earlier," he quickly told me.

"Sure whatever," I said as I roll my eyes. I don't need to deal with his bullshit.

"No I'm serious. I really am sorry. I didn't mean it honestly."

"Alright I said whatever, can I please go I have homework to do you know," I lied. I mean I do have homework but not a lot of it so it really didn't matter. I felt quite annoyed and stressed out. I just want him to leave me alone.
He nodded and left quickly. Thank god he left. I can finally have some peace, until I get home where I get annoyed every single day.

I walked out of the building and to my car and drove to my house. I parked my car at the drive way and got inside my house. As usual I get greeted by my family waiting for me and expecting me to say a bunch of great things.
After a while of their blabbing I got to my room and laid on my bed in peace. I grabbed my phone and started texting Lachlan about what happened.

Mitchy poo: hey lachy

Lachy: I can't believe your name is still Mitchy poo

Mitchy poo: doesn't matter

Mitchy poo: anyways, something weird happened as I was leaving school

Lachy: what is it mate?

Mitchy poo: stfu and don't interrupt me. So yeah he apologized about what happened earlier with him being harsh and i was like whatever and he started saying it like he mean it! And then I got annoyed with his apology and words so he let me go.

Mitchy poo: also at my history class I was with him and when I was taking notes, THAT MOTHER FUCKER WAS STARING AT ME.

Lachy: OOOOO

Mitchy poo: and when he realized I noticed him staring at me, he started blushing and I started blushing too.

Lachy: WOAH

Lachy: alright first of all, isn't he straight? Like that's what I heard.

Lachy: and second of all, I feel like he's falling for you.

Mitchy poo: U WOT M8

Mitchy poo: HE CANT BE FALLING FOR ME. HE BARELY KNOWS ME.

A/N
I hope you guys liked the text convo. I had nothing else to put so I decided to do a text convo and it was fun writing.
So yeah I'm dying from the vidcon photos. I live at California but I can't go :(( plus Dan and Phil are there which makes me more sad.

Anyways other than dying I've been super positive for the last few weeks. Like I started liking myself more and who I am. Also I found out my gender identity but I don't want to say it here bc there are irl people who are following me so if you go on my Instagram (@/lemonadehowell) and to my bio, I put it there. So yup.

Also I made a new story about Phan and I swear this one's not going to get deleted in like a few days. It's called Dear Diary. It's about a diary by Dan and he's very depressed but then something happens and it changes his life. I might update more on that book than this one since it's more easier and the chapters will be more short.

Anyways I got to go now and sleep because I'm very tired and I had to update for you guys :))

Remember that an apple a day, takes the doctor away.
