~2 days later (Monday)~
Tommy's POV
Adam was doing better, I could tell. He was smiling and talking more and seemed a lot more cheerful. Ever since we shared that kiss at my house Saturday. But despite that, Adam and I weren't really together. He said he wasn't ready for that and I respected that of course. Did I want to be with him? Of course I did, but if he didn't want to yet, that was fine. So for now we were just friends (maybe with a couple benefits).
"Hey Tommy" someone called my name and I turned to see Cassidy jogging towards me
"Hey Cass. What's up?"
"Not much. But I'm wondering one thing, what the hell is up with Adam?"
"What do you mean?" I asked him
"Well, he's different. In a good way. He's actually smiling and he's cheerful. Did something happen between you two?"
"Well….."
"Oh my god, it did! What happened? No wait, you don't have to tell me, it's not my business….but are you guys together now?" he whispered
I shook my head "He said he wasn't ready for a relationship yet, so I said that was fine, but I think we're a little more than friends"
Cassidy smiled a huge smile "I'm so happy for you guys! I haven't seen Adam this happy in years"
"Really?" I paused "Cass is there a reason why Adam said he wasn't ready to be in a relationship? Because he seemed fine but when I asked him, he said he couldn't. Am I just being paranoid?"
Cassidy's smile was gone now, and he suddenly seemed very interested in the floor
"Come on Cass, you can tell me, I won't tell anybody"
Cass shook his head "No, that's something that Adam is going to have to tell you himself. I'm sorry"
"Don't be sorry it's fine"
"Give him some time" Cass said "Just show him that he can trust you, he'll come around eventually"
The bell rang then "I gotta go, I'll see you later Tommy" Cass said, and then he turned and walked away
"Bye Cass"
I sighed. So Adam had trust issues or something? What could be so bad that Cass wouldn't tell me, or that Adam won't tell me? I thought he did trust me…..maybe I was wrong. I walked into my English class and took my seat next to Adam. He turned and smiled at me "Hey Tommy" he said
"Hey Adam" I smiled back, he had the most amazing smile when he actually did smile
"Alright class listen up" the teacher called for the class to pay attention. There was a small kid with brown hair and big brown eyes standing next to the teacher. He had on black skinny jeans and I tight black shirt and he was wearing eyeliner. Well at least he didn't look like a complete asshole, actually he was kinda cute. "We have a new student" the teacher said "please make him feel welcome, this is Brad" Brad smiled at the class. The teacher turned toward him. "OK Brad, why don't you take the empty seat there?"
"Sure" Brad replied, he came and sat down in the desk in front of Adam's. I smiled a friendly smile at him and he smiled back. The teacher told us that we could just talk and chill out. He always did that when we had a new student.
"Hey Brad, I'm Tommy" I held my hand out and he shook it
"Nice to meet you Tommy" wow he had a voice even higher than Adam's. This school just got a little better.
He turned around then to face Adam. "What's your name?" he asked
"Oh, sorry, I'm Adam" Adam smiled at him and shook his hand
"So how are you liking this school so far?" I asked him
Brad shook his head "This school is like a freaking maze, I can't find anything!"
I laughed "I know how you feel; I couldn't find anything when I came here either"
He chuckled once then turned to face Adam again. I frowned a little, I didn't like the way he was looking at him. Ok, I know Adam and I aren't together, but we were more than 'just friends'. I had to remind myself that Brad didn't know about me and Adam, so I couldn't get mad at him. But I would have to set him straight later
~later at lunch~
Adam, Cassidy and I were sitting at our usual table "Hey can I sit with you guys?" a voice chirped. I looked up to see Brad.
"Sure" Cass said, and smiled at him
Brad smiled and took a seat next to Adam. I tried to pay attention to my food but I kept listening on Adam and Brad's conversation. Adam had asked him where he was from and now Brad was launched into a whole story about it. Adam seemed to be listening and Brad kept doing things like giggling and touching Adam's arm. I didn't like it, he was obviously flirting with him, but I wasn't going to say anything.
When lunch ended we all started walking to our classes together. Adam and Cassidy were walking a little bit ahead of me and Brad, engaged in their own conversation. I wanted to tell Brad that Adam was taken but I couldn't tell him that because Adam and I weren't together so I decided to just ask him if he liked him
"So" I said and turned to Brad "Do you like Adam?" I decided to just get straight to the point
Brad giggled "Why do you ask?"
"Well, you seemed to be flirting with him a little"
"Well, I don't really know him, but he is really hot"
I had to keep myself from punching him
"Oh...ok I was just wondering" I said
Brad nodded "Well this is my class" he said stopping in front of the door to a classroom "See you later Tommy" he said and winked at me. What the fuck...?
~after school~
I stood against the wall, waiting for Adam. I was just gonna talk to Adam about Brad. Adam didn't seem to like him. Adam wouldn't like him right? He likes me…
"Hey Tommy" Adam came walking over to me
"Hey Adam, ready to go?" I asked him. He nodded and we walked to my car. We got in and I started to drive out of the parking lot.
"So what was up with you and Brad?" I asked him randomly
He looked over at me with a confused expression on his face "What do you mean?" he asked
"Well, I think he likes you, he was flirting with you like crazy"
Adam chuckled "I think that's just how he is" he paused "Wait…..you're not worried that I like him?"
I didn't say anything
"Tommy, I don't like Brad. You know I like you" he said
I smiled at him "you're right, I'm sorry, I was just being paranoid I guess"
"It's fine" he assured me "But I don't like him, you don't have anything to worry about" and as to prove his point he leaned over and pecked me on the lips
"Adam" I chuckled "Don't distract me, I have to drive"
He chuckled "Fine, I can wait"
I laughed and shook my head. When I pulled into his driveway and stopped the car, he leaned over to kiss me again. I turned and kissed him back. He reached over and grabbed me around the waist, pulling slightly. I got the hint and swung my leg over the counsel so that I was sitting on his lap. I slipped my tongue into his mouth and he let out a noise between a moan and a groan. He ran his hands down my thighs and this time I moaned. The kiss lasted for almost a minute, maybe more and then Adam's phone went off. Adam groaned and pulled away from me and took out his phone
It was a text from his dad, it read. 'What the hell are you doing out there? Get your ass in the house' Adam sighed
"I better get going" he said
I climbed off him and back into the driver's seat. It was a really good thing my car had tinted windows.
"See you tomorrow Adam" I said and leaned over to kiss him again
"Bye Tommy" he got out of the car and disappeared into his house
I sighed, after our little make out session in my car, I forgot all about Brad.
