Michael could not fall asleep. He couldn't stop thinking about Blake. Even though their beds were a few feet away with Lily's presence in the room he felt as if they were miles apart. Michael knew that he would walk a thousand miles if he had to just to see Blake. But in this case he was right there, in the same room. Only a few minutes ago they were passionately making out, and now with Lily there he feels as if Blake is off limits.

Blake's voice played over and over in Michael's head. "I think I'm in love with Nellie" when Blake confessed this to Michael at the end of adaptability week he had a crush on Nellie himself. Blake, Michael and Nellie were good friends at the time. They liked to joke around and just have fun. Blake told Michael pretty much everything and the night that Blake told Michael he had feelings for Nellie, he couldn't help but wonder if Nellie had any feeling for Blake, and then he remembered sexuality week.

Sexuality week was a few weeks back but he remembers it like it was yesterday. Nellie was having a hard time because she did not feel sexy. She even told Blake and Michael that she was uncomfortable with being sexy. At the time the trio were just close friends. He remembered how Blake told Nellie

"Just be confident. Confidence is the key to being sexy."

Michael agreed then told Nellie

"You are sexy; your milkshake totally brings all the boys to the yard!"

Nellie then bursted into laughter and Blake and Michael laughed with her. This happened the day before the "Milkshake/Moves Like Jagger" music video shoot.

The next day it was the day of the music video shoot and Nellie was bursting with confidence. She was the very definition of sexy. Blake and Nellie were paired together and Michael was a little jealous, not of Nellie but of Blake.

Nellie had to do this sexy move where she pretends to pick something up off the floor and then had to arch her butt up. During rehearsal she had a hard time with this move, but now she was an expert.

Michael was sitting right behind Nellie and had a front row seat and every time she did that move Michael's heart started racing. Nellie nailed her part and Michael couldn't help but feel jealous of Blake. Nellie was doing all these sexy moves for Blake and Blake played off of her sexiness well, while Michael just sat there behind Nellie and watched. At the time he wanted to be Blake, but now he just wants to be with him.

Michael had developed some feelings for Nellie but Nellie was always really awkward around Michael and a lot more comfortable around Blake. So without a doubt Michael knew that Blake's feeling for Nellie were mutual. That just left him in an uncomfortable position and he wondered if Lily Mae hadn't come in when she did would he and Blake still be making out? Would they be naked in bed together? Or would Blake have stopped it all because of his feelings for Nellie?

Michael wished Lily Mae had not walked in when she did. He admitted to himself that he did like Blake, maybe even love him. But Nellie must feel the same way about Blake as he did and Blake has already expressed his love for Nellie so what did that mean for him?

Michael's feelings for Blake just came over night and he couldn't figure out why. He wished this could all be a math problem because he loved math, he understood math, and in math there is usually only one right answer.

Michael just wanted to jump on top of Blake again and kiss him until the sun came up. But he couldn't, not with Lily in the room.

Michael could not understand why he had developed these feelings for Blake. Were they there all along and he just refused to acknowledge them? Maybe his feelings for Blake were directed towards Nellie because she was a girl. But they were really meant for Blake. Michael knew now he wanted to be with Blake and it took him until just now to figure it all out.

Tomorrow will be the start of a new week and they will get another homework assignment.

Michael closed his eyes and fell asleep. That night he dreamed of Blake.
