~Andy's P.O.V~

I finally decided to walk home, it had to be about 7PM or something. I'd been on the park bench in the rain for about an hour alone, I had fallen asleep at one point, waking up as the sun was setting, in drenched clothes. I shivered as I opened my front door, and headed straight into the shower. After I had gotten out and chucked on a pair of old skinny jeans, I walked to the kitchen where my mother was standing.
'Where have you been all afternoon honey?' she asked, packing some plates into the dishwasher.
'Ah. Just with a friend.' I replied, trying to sound cheerful.
'Who's your friend? Jay?' she asked, naming her friend's sons name.
'Nah, a new friend. New kid.' I said back, and started playing with my hands.
'Oh, what's his name?' she asked, smiling.
'Shaun.'
'Is he nice? Is he cute?' she said back, grinning. I love my Mum, she accepted my sexuality, and always accepted me for who I was.
'Yeah he's nice, and well, he's not cute, he's fucking stunning. I kinda like him.. a lot.' I smiled back and looked embarrassed.'
'Aw! You'll have to introduce me sometime!' she said back, in a cheerful tone.
'Mmhm' I mumbled back, trying to sound happy.
'What's wrong? Oh, is he straight?' she said, putting her hand on my shoulder.
'No, he's actually bisexual..it's just.. I'm not sure how things ended with him and I.' I said back, looking down.
'Aww. Well if it's meant to be, it'll sort out eventually.' she said wisely, drying her hands on a towel. I smiled back, and felt my phone buzz in my pocket, indicating a text message. God, if it's that Tia chick asking for a date again, I might just go crazy. She cannot seem to accept the fact I'm gay, it's so annoying. I'm almost ready to block her from all social networking sites and communication altogether. I just want to erase her whole existence, or something. I sighed and checked my messages. There was a number in there, that I recognized from somewhere. I closed my eyes, trying to remember. My head snapped up as I realised it was Shaun's number, I had seen it in his phone. I quickly opened the message, hoping to see something good.
'Hey... x' was all it said. I got really excited reading it. He sent me an 'x' ...does he like me? What does this mean? He wants to talk to me, does that mean he's interested? It does, doesn't it?
'Hey! :D xx' I clicked send, and instantly started worrying. What if I sounded too keen or something? I pressed my palm to my face. I really hope he doesnt think I'm desperate or something, oh god.
'Hun, come have some dinner, you came home late. It's on the table.' Mum called from the next room, and I walked in there casually, even though my cheeks were probably flushed with excitement or something. I took my phone, hoping for a text back from Shaun.

I didn't get one until midnight that night, I was studying for my Math exam on Monday. I only had this weekend to study, and my marks at school are really low and Mum said if I didn't pick them up, she'd stop giving me pocket money. Well, I instantly ditched studying for my phone. I'd rather have a texting session with this really amazing guy then figure out what pie equals, anyway. Thank god I'm out of school next year, I hate it there.
'What's up. xx' he had texted back, still sending x's. I smiled to myself, and texted 'studing..you? xx'.
Something didn't look quite right, probably the spelling or something, but I couldn't figure it out so I just clicked send and waited. My phone buzzed a few seconds later. Wow, he was a quick at replying...or maybe he was just interested, like myself.
'Oh yeah...I'm studying too. xx' Ahh, so it was the spelling. I hope he thinks I'm not stupid or something.. I'm actually pretty smart.. I just don't know how to spell, if that makes sense.
'so i see u saw my number and yea xx' I couldnt really bother with spelling, he can understand it so eh.
'Yeah.. :) xx' Well, obviously he saw my number, I kinda typed it in so he would. I felt so stupid at the moment.
'obv..ahhaha derp xx' I tried to make it out into a joke, but I was actually face palming myself again.
'Hahaha cute xx' he texted back, and I smiled.
'your cute..really cute :) xx' My hopeless attempt at a compliment.
'Aw. xx' I sighed and decided to just invite him over.
'hey i was wondering if you wanted to come over tmrw or something? you know cos its the weekend & yeah?x' God, I hope I didnt sound too keen or something.
'Really..? :) xx'
'yeaah :D xx'
'I'd love to come over.. :) x' I smiled and fist pumped hopefully. Yes! He was coming over!
'its a date :D x' I really wanted it to be a date. I thought maybe if I said that, it would be.
'Hahah cute. Well I need sleep, what time should I come over x' he'd look so angelic sleeping.
'is 9AM too early? we could chill all arvo :) x' I really hoped we would.
'Sounds great, I'll txt you in the morning. Goodnight Andy, sweetest dreams :D xxx '
'u too xxx sleep well '
I waited about 10 more minutes after that, but I didnt get any more replies, so I decided he had probably gone to bed. I should probably do the same.
'Mum, Shaun's coming over tomorrow..' I said, smiling slightly.
'Oh, you sorted things out?' she said, grinning.
'I guess. I dunno what exactly is happening..but he's coming over.' I said in a happy voice.
'Is that your boyfriend?' Dad said, in a neutral kind of voice. Dad wasnt really homophobic, he'd just rather me dating a girl or something like that.
'He's not my boyfriend! I do like him though..' I admitted.
'Ah. Well, best of luck. And whatever you do, please do it in your bedroom.' Dad said, smiling a bit. I groaned and quickly said goodnight to both my parents, who were half asleep already.

I went to bed that night in high spirits and best mood, eager for the morning.
