August's POV
I was leaving class and on my way home after my first day of 6 the grade. Today Summer was on vacation and missed her flight that was yesterday. Jack was sick. So I was kinda alone. Although the kids here liked me for who I was. I wish I could say the same about Julian. Then I saw him on a bench. He looked sad for some reason. Was it because no one in school was on his side. With the kindness in my heart I walked up to him. I couldn't speak. I was too nervous. "August." He said. I looked at him and he was still looking down. Julian looked at me. He wasn't disgusted at the sight of my face and he didn't have a look of anger. Just sadness. "What do you want?" He asked. "Um...I saw that you were sad. So I thought I could talk to you." I said. "I need to tell you something." He said. "What is it?" I asked. "I'm sorry. For everything." He said. I was shocked. He was apologizing to me? "I never should have been such a jerk towards you. In fact I never hated you." He said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I love you. But back then everyone didn't see what Summer and Jack could see. So I pretended I hated you to fit in. I was afraid everyone would treat me badly if they knew I love you." He said as he looked down and she'd a tear. He was serious. I felt bad for him. I sat next to him. "Julian. I knew you weren't a bad kid. And I feel the same way." I said. "Really?" He asked. I could tell hope was building up. "Yeah. But. Let's not tell anyone." I said. "Yeah. Not many people respect couples of the same gender." He said. I leaned in and so did he. And we kissed and luckily no one was around to see it. Then I saw my dad's car pull up. "I gotta go." I said. "Alright. See you tomorrow." He said as we waved goodbye. I got in the passenger seat and my dad grinned. "What?" I asked. "My boy has grown up." He said. My eyes went wide. "You saw?" I asked. He nodded. "Don't worry Auggie. It's just between you, me, and Julian. Well...at least for now." He said. I nodded as I knew he meant that one day everyone should know.
Julian's POV
I can't believe it. August loves me back. I couldn't be happier. Then I saw my mom pull up. I got in the car and she asked. "Hey Julian. How was school?" She asked. "Fine." I said. "Anything interesting happen?" She asked. "Yeah." I said. "What happened?" She asked. "August and I are friends now." I said. "You mean boyfriends now." She said. I looked at her in shock. "How?!" I asked. "I read your diary." She said. "Mom!" I shouted. "I know I'm invading your privacy. Don't worry. It's between you and me." She said. "Still. Why would you read my diary?" I asked. "So I could understand your feelings better. And I discovered your feelings for August." She said. "By the way should I buy he engagement rings for you boys?" She asked. I blushed. "Mom!" I yelled. She laughed. "I'm just messing with you." She said.
August's POV
When we arrived home I saw bear run toward me. "Hey little bear. How were ya? Did ya miss me?" I asked. Bear barked and ran around. I chuckled at her silliness as I walked upstairs to my room. I closed the door and layed down on my bed. Julian and I are dating and only my dad knows. It shouldn't be hard to keep the secret right? But Summer and Jack would have to know I guess. I decided to think about that later. I turned on the Xbox and played halo. Two hours later I was done playing and decided to take a bath. After I got out of the shower I dried off and went to bed. I drifted into a peaceful sleep thinking about Julian.
