Tay's POV

The next day in class Hayley and I shared quite a few awkward stares from across the room

"Okay I don't have a lesson plan today so just get in your pairs and discuss your semester project" Mrs.Mcallister instructed

I groaned as everyone began to break into groups 'til only Hayley and I were left in our desks

I slowly made my way over sitting in the desk beside hers "I'm really sorry about yesterday" I said. Hayley nodded "as long as it doesn't happen again it's fine" she said

"I give you my word that it won't and I understand if you don't wanna work from my house anymore" I said

Hayley shook her head "it's fine as long as that situation never happens again" I agreed that it wouldn't and we made plans to meet at my house later

Hayley's POV

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay Hayley calm down you're just going over there to work on the project it's not like anything's gonna happen, I told myself

I pulled on my Slipknot shirt with my bright blue skinny jeans my H2O hoodie and my red converse

I hope she likes this outfit. I don't even know why I care so much about her opinion but I do. I still can't pinpoint my feelings for her though

I drove over to Tay's and softly knocked on the door. My heart fluttered when she answered with a smile

She led me up to her room and I took a seat on her bed smiling as she was once again playing Slipknot

I couldn't help but examine her outfit, she wore tight black skinny jeans, black vans and a black muscle shirt with the sides ripped open revealing a black lace bra

"So the project I was thinking that maybe I could write it all and you could give the speech I'm kinda shy" Tay said nervously

I nodded feeling the need to do any and everything for her if it would make her happy

"Yeah that'd be totally fine" I agreed my shoulders tensing as she sat down next to me, our arms brushing slightly

There was a long pause before Tay spoke "so um listen I think if we tried to be friends maybe this would be easier"

I nodded a little to quickly "I mean um yeah yeah that sounds like a good idea" I said brushing off my enthusiasm

Tay nodded "okay so um what's your favorite band, tv show, and food" Tay asked

"Slipknot, Friends and pizza" I said blushing when she smiled widely at all my answers

"Seriously same here wow you're actually cool and not just a total bitch" Tay breathed

I frowned, she thought I was a bitch? Well I was...before I developed these..feelings for her

"Oh no I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that" Tay said seeing my slightly hurt expression

I shook my head "nah it's fine I'm sorry I was kinda mean when we first got paired up" I apologized

"Totally forgiven" Tay smiled. Then there was more silence, I wish I knew what to say to her

"How bout we blow off the project and watch a movie" Tay suggested, I smiled "perfect"

"You like horror" Tay asked

"Yeah love it" I exclaimed

"Pet Sematary" she questioned

"My favorite" I said

"Me too" she agreed with a smile

She put the DVD in and then came and sat by me on the bed making me more nervous

I went to sit on the floor but I felt Tay grab my arm sending shocks like no other through my entire body

I looked at her confused expression "you can sit up here with me, friends remember" she reminded

I nodded sitting next to her and getting as comfortable as a person could be in this situation

Right as Gage was hit by the truck I jumped and buried my face in Tay's shoulder, she put an arm around me

The rest of the movie was spent with me in her arms, her hand gently stroking my arm when I got scared

After the credits rolled I sighed, I wanted to stay like this forever. Tay sure didn't move for a while either

She slowly unwrapped her arms and I sat up "sorry I was so cuddly, I had a girlfriend that hated scary movies so I'm just used to comforting people" Tay said

I nodded "it's fine I'm actually glad otherwise I would've had to watch all the scary parts" I joked

She laughed, gosh she's so cute. I looked at the clock realizing that I missed dinner at my house

"Sorry I gotta get home I'm really late" I said gathering my backpack, books, and purse

Tay nodded "see ya tomorrow in school buddy" she said. Buddy. That word had never hurt so much before

I was friend zoned all because she made a move and I got scared. I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm bisexual

Then again I've never liked girls before her. But can you blame me? She's amazing

She's amazing and I ruined it. I couldn't face my own sexuality and now that I can my chance is gone

When I got home I stayed in the car for a while with my forehead against the steering wheel thinking of a solution to my problem

I'm in love with a loser. I'm in love with someone who is below me and my friends on every level. But the scariest part of it all is

I'm in love with a girl.

And that sentence alone has all the power to ruin my reputation, in high school and in my family

HELP !
