I'm standing in front of my mirror. It had been 2 days, since the shower incident with Logan. By incident I mean when I made-out with Logan Kessler. Not only did we make out he gave me a hand-job.
Never in my life did I ever think that Logan Kessler was gay. No one as perfect as him could be gay; nor would someone that perfect end up with me.
I walked over to my bed and fell down on it. We had off from school today because of a teacher's workshop. I had plans with Colin today. He wanted me to help him start working out at the gym, but he didn't own anything outside of jeans. No basketball shorts, sweatpants; none of that. So we are gonna head out to the mall and pick up some of them. He also wanted to show something off to me.
Don't know why he needs me there to get work-out shorts, but whatever he's my best friend. I like spending time with him.
I kind of wish I could tell him what happened between me and Logan, but I can't bring myself to tell anyone besides Logan that I'm gay. That was hard enough as it was.
Which when I think about it, is weird. I've known Colin for a long time and I've met Logan what? A month or two ago, It's only October now so it couldn't have been that long ago.
Why was I more comfortable telling Logan I'm gay. This was the guy who could destroy me with one word, that guy I barely knew before I told him. Hell I don't know much about him at all! I know he has a brother; he's mention that once or twice. I know he's rich, well at least his parents are. But that's it.
Colin I've known basically my whole life. This is the kid that I'm basically paired up with. You never see us apart. Teacher always knew that we would work together on projects because how close we were. This kid is my best friend.
And I can't bring myself to tell him I'm gay?
I know I will eventually tell him. Probably before the end of the year, when something is going wrong most likely; if all the stories written on the interweb are true.
I know he will accept me, but I won't tell...
Now that I think about it more, I think it's because he can hurt me the most.
Yea Logan can hurt me, but I'm not as close to him as Colin. Colin has become a part of me in ways only a best friend can.
He was the one I called when I have a fight with my parents or with any of our other friends. He's the one I vent to about everything.
So he can hurt me the most.
I looked at the clock and saw it read noon. I took a breath and got up and walked into the bathroom to shower. I was going to be meeting Colin around 130.
After I showered I got dressed in a blue plaid shirt, with blue jeans. I always liked how I looked in blue. It made my eyes even bluer then they usually are.
I wonder if Logan likes my eyes?
Gah focus you are going to be hanging with Colin, if you start thinking about Logan, you will get hard and Colin will notice and make fun of you. Do you want to give Colin more reason's to make fun of you?
Well it's not like I couldn't make fun of him back. He just shrugs it off so it's not as fun.
Around 130 Colin drove up in a car.
"Woah, when did you get your license?" I said as I walked up to the car.
I was a silver Honda Civic, older model probably a mid-90s.
"Got it on Friday, I would have shown it off to you, but you had the party and then your hockey game then next day. And I figured you just wanted to sleep all yesterday. So I waited till today." He said
"I did basically sleep all yesterday, "I said back, "how did you even afford this?"
"My parents had saved up money for me, and I chipped in some from mowing lawns and such other odd jobs." He said, "I probably should get a real job. Gas is expensive. Also get in we are wasting gas right now."
I hopped in the car and we drove off to the mall.
We arrived at the mall and walked into the Dick's sporting goods store. After walking around a little bit and selecting a few pairs of shorts for Colin to use. I decided to ask Colin a question.
"Colin, why the sudden want to start working out? I'm not complaining or anything, but you were never interested in it before," I said
"Well there is this... person I like and they only seem interested in people who work out, so I want to see if I start working out they might like me..." He said, looking at the ground.
This had to be one of the only times I've ever seen Colin look nervous.
"So you are doing this for a girl?" I said,
"I guess," he said back, "any for myself I guess, I want to start putting up a fight when I wrestle with you. I can't keep losing."
"What you won a few weeks ago! Remember the bet!"
"I won because you let me, you know it, I know it, and the troll that lives under the bridge knows it."
"I don't think the troll under the bridge gets out enough to know that. He's kind of a jerk, always asking riddles and such. Doesn't make for good company."
I found a few pairs of shorts thrown at my head for that remark.
"Hey, what was that for," I said with a laugh.
"You know," he said with a smile.
"Honestly Colin, if you didn't expect me to make a remark, you don't know me very well."
"I thought if I had a moment of vulnerability you would let it slide."
"Well you thought wrong. You know you would have made fun of me if that situation was reversed."
"Yea and? I'm the jokester of the two of us. I'm allowed to make fun of you. You have to suck it up and be serious."
"What makes you the jokester?"
"My devilish good looks and sparkling personality."
"Yea your devilish good looks are a joke."
"Ow, I walked right into that one."
"You basically paved the sidewalk to it also."
"Has anyone ever told you how corny you are Dylan?" He said.
"No not really"
"Well you are, stop being corny"
"But I have yet to be taken off the cobb." I said back.
Colin stopped in his tracks and just looked at me. "That had to be the worst joke that has ever come out of your mouth. I don't understand how anyone could make that joke,"
"Was it really that bad?"
"Yea... yea it was. If the 15 heard that you would be gone in an instant."
"After the party I don't think I'll be gone anytime soon."
"What do you mean?" He said. "Something happen?"
Gah I wasn't supposed to bring the party up! That why I wouldn't be lying to him like I'm about too.
"Nah just made a few new friends on the current 15 and our years 15. Met a few of next years also."
"Uh-huh. You just don't want to tell me," Colin said, "it's fine, you don't HAVE to share with your best friend of 10 years."
"Colin don't be like that." I said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you... it's that I can't"
"Fine I see how it is. You have a bunch on new friends, who needs me anymore."
"Colin..."
"Chill Dylan, I'm joking."
"You ass,"
"I understand there is something that you can't tell me. You are straddling two worlds right now. There are going to be things you can't tell me," Colin said, "Just make sure you make time for me."
"I'll always have time for you dude. Like you said, we've been best friends for 10 years; I couldn't just throw that away if I wanted." I said, "Now let us finish the shopping. We got video games to play."
"Video game? You have to teach me how to lift!" He said,
"Since when do you speak internet?" He said. "I rarely hear you quote internet Memes."
"I know a few of them. I'm not totally out of the internet loop, I just don't spend my life on it like you do." I said. "Hockey does take up a majority of my life. Now I have the other half taken up by Logan. So my internet speak might go down some."
"He working you hard at your extra practices?" He said to me.
"Yeah he does. You should get a pair of skates and join us one time. I can let you use one of my old sticks. You can see how hard I work at it."
"You just want to see me fall on my face a lot."
"That might be a part of it yes. But seriously you should join us one time."
"I just might. But for now let's pay for this and go home and play COD."
"You know how much I hate first person shooters."
"Yea I know. I can't beat you in physical activities so I like to be able to beat you in electronic activities"
"Uh-huh, I'm totally going to destroy you in them. I've been practicing with Cody Read. I can totally keep up with you."
"You and Cody Read are hanging out? Since when?" He said.
"Cody is Jjay's pick. Jjay and Logan are best friends. I'm Logan's pick. So the two of us have decided to become friends. Seeing are we are probably going to be spending a lot of time together."
"Makes since I guess," Colin said.
Is it me or does Colin see to be a little jealous that I am hanging out with someone else besides him. Does he think I'm going to replace him? I mean yeah I'm going to be busy a lot with work with the 15, but that doesn't mean I won't include Colin.
Then again looking at the 15 now. None of them socialize with people outside of the 15 or outside of their respective sports. Unless it was school related.
"You know he's not replacing you right?" I said. "He's on the same hockey team as me also. It's not like I'm picking him over you."
"I know," Colin said.
I watched Colin as he faked a smile on my behalf. How did I become the bad guy in this? I'm finally becoming something and he's making me feel guilty about it. I know it is not on purpose or anything. But still why is he making me feel like an ass?
Could it be he is scared I'm going to leave him behind? That I will throw him away once I get new friends? I'll just have to show him that I won't throw him away at all. That he is here to stay. He will not be a person that makes a pit stop in my life. He is going to be there forever. I will prove that to him.
Well there is the 6th chapter of 'I'll Make you Popular' I hope you enjoyed it.
I also ask you to be patient in how long it will take me to update. I'm really bad at focusing.
If you have any criticism I would love to hear it.
