Charlie's POV

School went by in a blur that day but hockey practice was dragging on. I was skating side by side with Fulton. It felt like we'd been doing laps forever. "You okay Charlie?" Fulton asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, just thinking," I replied looking ahead at the rest of the group, spotting Adam easily.

"Anything in particular on your mind?"

"No," I lied pretending I wasn't watching Adam skate across the ice. He seemed so natural on the ice, so happy. I smiled to myself when he laughed at whatever Julie said.

"Charlie, don't lie to me," Fulton said. I winced. I'd never really lied to him before and it was hard to. "What's going on with you Charlie? You're always thinking about something or… someone."

My head snapped to face him. "What do you mean Fulton?"

"I mean you're thinking about someone and you won't tell me. Who is it?" He asked.

"Can we talk about this later Fulton?" I asked as Coach Orion blew his whistle and we skated over.

"Sure Charlie, stop by my dorm at 7, Portman has a date," Fulton said.

I nodded as we all took a knee and listened to Coach talk. He split us up into two teams to scrimmage and I smiled at Adam, letting him take the face off against Guy.

We played the scrimmage as if it were a real game, celebrations and all, Coach Orion finally used to our antics. I skated passed Guy and Dwayne and passed the puck to Adam who scored on Julie. We let out a cheer of triumph and skated together, hugging and cheering, Russ joining the hug momentarily.

"Nice pass Spazway," Adam teased.

"Nice goal Cake-eater," I shot back laughing as we separated and kept playing. The scrimmage ended in favor of mine and Adam's team. We all headed into the locker room and a glance at the clock told me I had an hour to get ready before going to Fulton's dorm room. Hopefully I wouldn't chicken out.

I knocked on the door to Dean and Fulton's room, smiling at Dean as he opened the door, waved, and walked out, dressed up for his date. 'Must be trying to make an impression,' I thought before walking into the dorm room.

"Hey Charlie," Fulton greets from his bed. I close the door as I step into the room more, glad that Dean's gone so it's just us.

"Hey Fulton," I reply walking over and sitting on Dean's bed.

"So, you okay?" Fulton asked. I had to keep myself from laughing. Straight to business with the Bash Brother.

"Well…" I began, not really knowing where to start. Luckily Fulton picked up on that.

"Charlie, you're mind is all over the place lately, who is it?" Fulton prompted.

"Adam."

"Is he sick or something?" Fulton asked. I shook my head no and looked at the floor. "Is there something wrong with him? Did you two have a fight?"

"No," I said quietly.

"Then what is it?" Fulton asked.

"I, I just-" I began, second-guessing telling Fulton the truth.

"Charlie! Come out with it already!" Fulton said, exasperated.

"Fine! Fulton I'm gay and in love with Banksie!" I yelled, glad the walls were thick at Eden Hall.

Fulton just blinked. "Yeah, so?"

I stared at him, my jaw dropped.

"So?" I said dumbly.

"Charlie, man you may be able to hide from everyone else, but not me okay? I could tell you like Adam, big deal. You're not the first gay man to walk the Earth Conway. And you won't be the last so chill out." I looked at Fulton closely for a moment and decided I'd have to give him more credit from now on. He's more insightful than he seems.

I nodded for a minute then groaned and fell onto my side on Dean's bed. "But why Adam? He's one of my best friends and my roommate! And not to mention that he's straight."

"Charlie, if Adam's straight then Dean's out dating a gorilla right now."

"What?" I asked staring at Fulton, now sitting up again.

"Charlie, if I could figure out that you've got it bad for Banks, it's a million times easier to see he's not interested in girls."

"What about Kelly and Nicole and…"

"Cover up dates," Fulton said simply, cutting me off. I stared at him for a minute, trying to let it all sink in. 'Okay, Fulton knows I'm gay and in love with Adam, and he swears Adam is gay too. Now I just have to figure out if Adam is or not…'
