Conner POV: Today is the first day of me working as an Assistant to Coach Williams, so far its alright, i am basically the laundry boy, and organizer for the team. i don`t know, what about this is "coveted" but i guess since this town is mostly known for two things, Johnson Industries & High School football. i begin the shift walking in the locker room and i see that some players are changing, so i go to a bucket labeled "dirty" and pick the bucket up and prepare to take it to my car to the local laundry mat, when Coach Williams comes out of his office and says "Hey Conner, before you go, here is $20, this is for the laundry, see you later. i can see that you are going to be a good thing for the team." i walk out of the locker room, while Jake is walking towards the locker room, he ignores me, he probably wasn`t paying attention anyway. i walk to my car, and then some jock type is standing right by my car door, who says "Hey, Conner, i reply, "Hello, can i help you, how do you know my name, and where my car is?" he says "Jake told me. i wanted to welcome you to our team, even though you are not a player, as an assistant, you are doing us good. i say "thanks, but what do you mean, Jake told you where my car is?" he says " its, ok Conner, i know you and Jake are together," Coach Williams said that our new assistant would be Conner Edwards, and i knew that that must be Jake`s Boyfriend. i say "What. how do you know? did he tell he about our relationship? "Nope", he says, but i can tell, he talks about you alot, and i saw one of your texts you sent him, when i was going to give him the phone back, he is one of my closest friends, i don`t care that he is gay or bisexual, that is not my business. i say "ok, um you mind telling me what your name is," he says "Ryan" i say "nice to meet you, Ryan, you seem nice, but i gotta go now, he says "Alright, bye Conner, well, that was weird i think to myself, i can`t believe one of Jake`s friends knows about us, i guess that went better than i thought it would. My House: i finished the first day as the coach/team assistant so i decide to call Jake Ring Ring Ring "Hello." Hi, Jake, this is Conner, do you want to come to my house and hang out tonight?" oh sorry, i have plans tonight, Jake replies." alright, do you mind i ask what those are," he says "my first therapy session is scheduled tonight. oh, good for you, i am glad you have finally decided to do that" he replies, "thanks Conner, i am happy i have your support" i say "anytime, you are a really a good guy and i am so blessed that you are my boyfriend. speaking of that, i had a weird run-in earlier at the school. he replies. "oh yeah, what happened? i say "well, some dude named Ryan was standing by my car earlier, he said he was a friend of yours, i didn`t know you told anybody at school about us. he replies " um, i don`t have a friend named Ryan, that is weird, i do not have a friend named Ryan. and i never told anybody at school i say "what? are you sure, he is about 6 feet, brown hair, mixed race. (white & black) he says "that is Damien, why would he lie about his name? i say "ok, that is creepy, how would he know about us then? do you think he has a secret crush on you? he says "No, he has a girlfriend, he is 100% straight. i say "so, you had a girlfriend too. he says, yeah, and becomes silent. he then says "i will confront, Damien tomorrow, to get to the bottom of this. i say "sounds good, well i guess i will have to find something to do, i probably will just hang around the house with mom, he says "alright, goodbye Conner, i love you. end of the phone call. Jake Pov: Next Day i have just finished up football practice, when i spot Damien heading towards his car and i say "Hey, Dude, wait up a moment" he stops in his tracks and says "Hey, Jake, what's up?" and i say "Well, "Ryan" i don`t know, why don`t you tell me? he looks down at me, and says "oh, yeah, i`m sorry dude, i just wanted to talk to meet Conner, but i didn`t want you to know about it. i say "ok, how do you know about me and Conner, you could of come to me, without pretending to be somebody else. he says "Yeah, i just didn`t feel comfortable, so this way it was easier for me. i say "Why? i like to think we are good friends, and you doing this, has raised some questions. he says "Why, what questions? i say "Conner, thinks you have a secret crush on me he becomes silent and then tries to walk away. i grab his arm and say "Dude, please don`t walk away, be honest with me, i won`t judge you. he then says " ok, i do, but i know you have a boyfriend and i don`t want to ruin our friendship, ok, you happy now. i say "Damien, its alright, i am flattered, but i do have a boyfriend i love, that doesn`t mean we can't continue to be friends. i can try to find someone else for you. he then says "But, i don`t want anyone elese, i want you, he than walks up to me and kisses me, i push him away and say "bro, that`s not cool, you shouldn`t of done that. he looks like he is on the verge of crying, and says "i know, i`m sorry" and then runs into his car and speeds away. i have a stunned look on my face and don`t know what to do, so i decide to go home and try to relax and then i will figure out, when to tell Conner what just happened.
