“Mmm, that ass,” I said, my eyes staring hungrily.

                “Jeez Evan, don’t drool too much,” Rory said, rolling his eyes at me.

                I wiped at my mouth, not taking my eyes off the perfect ass a few feet away from me. I watched as he straightened up, searching his locker for something. Man I hoped he never found it. This view was too great.

                “Evan, if he turns around, he’s going to see you,” Rory warned.

                I forced my eyes away and pouted at Rory. “Why do you have to ruin things for me? This is why we can’t have nice things!” I whined.

                “Just trying to protect your whole straight guy image,” Rory said with a shrug.

                I pouted more and snuck a quick glance over, growing sad when I saw that he had disappeared. Dammit. Way to freaking go Rory. I had been enjoying myself and my view!

                “Come on. Let’s go to lunch,” Rory said, standing up and offering his hand to me.

                I took it and he pulled me to my feet before releasing my hand. We made our way to the cafeteria and sat down at our usual seats. The rest of our table wasn’t there yet, the slow bastards.

                “Hey, here he comes,” Rory said, nodding.

                I immediately looked up and wiped my mouth to make sure I wasn’t drooling. His face was even better than his ass!

                He and Murphy were walking towards up, talking. He was laughing at whatever Murphy was saying to him.

                “Murphy is moving in on my man,” I growled.

                “Yea, except for the fact that he and Murph are best friends,” Rory pointed out, biting into a sandwich.

                “Stop trying to enjoy a sandwich when someone is moving in on my property! That ass, face, and body are mine, mine, mine!” I cried angrily.

                “Whose ass, face, and body are yours?”

                I jumped and looked up at Murphy. He gave me a curious stare before him and his “best friend” sat down across from me.

                I blushed slightly and cleared my throat. “Ah…no one. Nothing. Nope. Nu-uh. Don’t worry about it. Inside joke,” I said, as smooth as ever. Yea, my nickname was Mr. Smooth McSwagdaddy the third.

                “Right,” Murph said, nodding in confusion.

                He turned to his “best friend” and a smile returned to his face. “So like I was saying, she turned to him after and told him about Alicia,” he said, causing his “best friend” to start laughing again.

                Ugh. Even his laugh was sexy!

                “Rory,” I whined in his ear. “Make them stop!”

                Rory sighed and looked up. “So, Murph, what did you think of the test in math today?” he asked.

                Murphy turned to Rory and the two became engaged in conversation as the rest of our table began to show up and sit down. Someone else caught my man’s attention and I used the time to admire how extremely attractive he was.

                He and Murphy got up and disappeared to go buy themselves slushies. I turned to Rory and shot him a thankful look.

                “Thank you kind sir. I got to eye rape his face for almost three minutes straight,” I said with an affirmative nod.

                “You’re so creepy. Why don’t you just talk to him? It’s not like you guys don’t know each other,” Rory said.

                I let out a loud gasp. “Rory, are you suggesting that I try to hook up with Sebastian?” I whisper-screamed.

                “No. I said talk to him you drama-queen,” Rory grumbled. “Stop being overdramatic Evan. You and Murph are good friends, and you and Sebastian are pretty much friends. So just…I don’t know. Ask him a question about a class you have together or something. It’s not that hard to have some small talk.”

                “Small talk with Sebastian Amsel. Oh my god I’d cry,” I said with a disbelieving laugh.

                “God, you are such a drama-queen Evan! You’ve talked to the guy before! Hell, you’ve slept in the same room as him!” Rory said in annoyance.

                “Hush up Rory!” I said, slapping a hand over his mouth. “I’m trying to think of what to say to him that won’t make me sound like an idiot!”

                Rory pulled my hand away from his mouth. “Why not something like, oh I don’t know, HI SEBASTIAN!”

                “Shhhhhh!” I hissed, bringing a finger up to my lips. “Don’t you raise your voice to me mister!”

                I thoughtfully began to eat my lunch. “I could ask him if he enjoyed the video we watched today in science class. Oh! But what if the fact that it was on population control told him I was gay? After all, men can’t reproduce together. No, no, no. I can’t ask him about the video. He’d find out I’m gay. Oh, this is so much harder than I thought it was going to be!”

                “I can’t even handle you Evan,” Rory groaned, face-palming himself. “You’re such an overdramatic idiot.”

                “Well that was hurtful,” I said, slapping a hand over my chest.

                “Here comes your man,” Rory said, going back to eating his lunch.

                I watched as Murphy and Sebastian came back to the table. They sat down and Sebastian began to sip on his slushie.

                “Can you blow my whistle babe,” I sang, watching his lips close over the straw.

                “Hm? Did you say something Evan?” Murphy asked, looking over at me curiously.

                “I said can you hand me a napkin.”

                “Yea, sure.”

                Murph handed me a napkin before turning his attention back to Sebastian. I relaxed, glad I hadn’t screwed myself over just then. And that was why they called me Mr. Mcdaddy Smoothswag the second!

                …Or something to that effect.

                Rory nudged me in the side and gave a slight nod at Sebastian. “Talk to him Evan. You’ll see that it’s not that hard,” he said so that only I could hear him.

                I gulped and nodded, trying to think of what to say to Sebastian. Oh, I had been crushing on that sexy boy for two years now. He was the whole reason I had found out I was gay. Rory was the only person who knew, though. Around everyone else, I played straight little Evan Sudlow.

                I turned and opened my mouth to talk to Sebastian. My heart hammered against my ribs loudly and I felt my palms starting to sweat.

                “Hey, Sebastian!”

                I felt myself deflate as Sebastian turned to some kid at the other end of the table. He got up and moved down to talk to the kid.

                “So close,” I hissed.

                “You weren’t going to do it,” Rory said before tossing a chip into his mouth.

                “I totally was!” I argued.

                “No. I know you too well. You would’ve choked on his name and then pretended to be talking to me.”

                Damn he knew me.

                Sebastian returned to his seat and began to eat. I clenched my fist tightly under the table, trying to gather up the courage to speak to him.

                Okay Evan. You can do this. You’ve talked to Sebastian before without passing out, right? Right. And if things started to go bad, Rory would help me out. I think. Maybe. Anyways, best not to think about that. Happy thoughts Ev.  

                I would ask him what he got on the science test yesterday. Yes! Perfect! I could pretend that I had a question on it. It would be random small talk, but it would be talk. His deep, smooth, sexy voice would be directed at me. Mmm.

                I nodded to myself, my plan seeming to be solid. Nothing could go wrong if I just kept it simple and asked him about a test, right? Before I had time to contemplate it, I had already turned and let my words slip out.

                “Hey Sebastian?”

                Sebastian turned his beautiful eyes on me curiously. Oh, those eyes. Brilliant blue, slightly hindered to a sea color by the light green in them, and containing flecks of gold. The most beautiful eyes I had ever seen in my entire life.

                “Yea? What’s up?” he asked, his voice music to my ears.

                “Uh…um…” What was up? WHAT WAS FREAKING UP?

                “I…Don’t remember,” I said in confusion. What had I been about to ask him? Something about science? Something about a video? Something about exploring his body with my tongue? Hell if I could remember…

                “Oh,” Sebastian said, raising a thin eyebrow at me, confusion in those beautiful eyes of his. He shrugged and turned his attention to Murphy, trying to steal his Arnold Palmer.

                “Rory?” I whispered, realization of what had just happened slapping me in the face.

                “Yes Evan?”

                “I just made a complete moron out of myself and killed whatever barely existent chance I had of getting with Sebastian, didn’t I?”

                “Yes Evan.”

                I groaned and smacked my head against the table, not caring if everyone stared at me. Great. Now the boy I was infatuated with thought I was the biggest idiot ever. Oh, my love life was just dandy. If I could ever recover from today, redeem myself in front of Sebastian, and maybe get a shot with him, it would be a friggin miracle.
