There was a certain person that Jack could never get out of this mind. How this person walked with long, elegant strides and how his slender, elongated fingers would gracefully reach for his soft, brown hair whenever he got uncertain or confused. Jack was reluctant to draw any closer to this person, and everyday, whenever he did see him, he would just watch from a distance, listening to his quiet heartbeat quicken every time.
His name was Callum, and even though they were friends, Jack was unsatisfied with their relationship, though he couldn't quite put a finger on why he was. He knew that he was gay, but not possibly for Callum, because he was straight, and already had a girlfriend, who was, in his honest opinion, not as good looking as he was.
One lunch time at school, Jack was loitering around forbidden grounds, looking for something to do, when he suddenly heard a sweet melodious tune coming from the music room. He glanced through the window in the door, and to his surprise, found that it was Callum who was playing the violin – playing Ave Maria. Jack fell in love with the sight immediately – at Callum's long eyelashes, his fast fingers moving across the fingerboard and his seductive vibrato which resounded in his ears.
He did not realise until the school bell rang, signalling the end of lunch, that he had been standing there for a whole half an hour. Callum raised his head and their eyes met, but Jack quickly looked away, feeling a surge of hotness rise up in his face. He turned, and quickly walked to fifth period before Callum could get out of the practise room.
"What's this?" Jack muttered under his breath. His heart was beating uncontrollably and his breaths were quick and ragged. He shook his head. "No, no, no... no way am I..."
And then Jack covered his face in this hands as he came to the realisation that... he was in love with Callum.
