So you go to Seven Eleven? What's it like?

Well I like not sure if you would like it, but I love it, I go with Jeremy.

Connor smiled at his phone. He'd changed Michael's saved name in his phone to 'Mikey ❤️', having previously been just 'Michael Mell'. He liked the nickname, and decided to change it to it.

Zoe was right, he did feel extremely happy when he was with Michael and she had guessed his crush right. He was certain Michael didn't feel the same, but then again, he hadn't really been looking for signs. Zoe was going to tease him about it he was certain of it.

"What's this?" Connor turned around at the sudden voice. He felt his face heat up. Jake had definitely seen his conversation with Michael. Jake then gazed at him. "Are you... crushing on Michael? There are rumours but now, seeing this..." Connor was glad that Rich wasn't within  their current vicinity as he would've jumped on that.

"No," he denied. He knew that his statement was absolutely f**king false but Jake wouldn't necessarily know that it was.

"Oh okay. It's okay, bro, I was just curious, because they are rumours," Jake replied, with a hearty giggle. Jake was hot, Connor knew that a lot of girls would crush on him, but Connor was certain that Jake only had eyes for Rich. He just picked up on a vibe from him. Connor sighed. He hadn't revealed his crush on Michael to Jake, and he didn't plan on telling anyone else, except maybe Evan.

"Cool," Connor answered. Jake gazed at him for a bit more before walking off. Connor took out his phone from it's hiding place.

"Hey, Con!" Connor turned at the voice of his shorter friend. Evan was gazing at him.

"Hey Evie." Evan glanced at Connor's phone.

"Mikey. That's Michael right?" Connor felt himself blush and quickly deposited his phone. Evan smiled.

"Aw! You're so red!" He said. Connor could hear Evan's thoughts clearly. He knew what he was thinking. The anti-social kid who gets really flustered when one mentions his crush. Connor didn't know if he fit the 'anti-social kid' description but it was the only thing he could think of, of what Evan was thinking.

"S-shut up," he answered. Evan looked up at him.

"What's so wrong with that?"

"You're teasing me about it!"

"About what?" Evan asked, genuinely confused. Connor felt his face redden more.

"Nothing! Just- nothing," Connor said. Evan blinked but he grew silent.

"I won't tease you if you don't want me to," he replied eventually. Connor gazed at him amazed. Evan gazed at the ground. "Zoe told me what you revealed to her, anyway. Sorry." Connor felt his facial expression changed into an annoyed one. That idiot, he thought, silently cursing her. I told her to keep it secret!

"Kinda hard to do that when your boyfriend already basically knows," Connor heard his sister's voice and had almost forgotten that she and Evan were dating. He turned to face her. Her gingery brown hair was to one shoulder.

"So you guys both know, huh?" Connor asked, gazing at the ground. They looked at him.

"Well you did admit it to me," Zoe replied. Her blue gaze was light. Evan was gazing at her lovingly. Evan soon ripped his gaze away from her and turned to face Connor.

"And I kinda knew before but didn't have confirmation. Say, were you the one who gave Michael the Valentine?" Connor felt his face heat up guiltily and he didn't answer. "Oh Connor," Evan said smiling, but staying true to his word, didn't tease him.

"You gave  Michael a Valentine? Oh my word Connor, you are adorable." His sister was smirking, and he despised it. "Did you say who it was from? My brother with a crush is the cutest thing on the planet."

"CAN YOU NOT TEASE ME ABOUT MY F**KING CRUSH ON MICHAEL MELL?!" Connor suddenly shouted.

"So... you finally admit it...." said a voice.

Connor felt his blood turn cold.
