"Jesus F**king Christ," Connor sighed when he heard the foot steps behind him. He turned around expecting to see Jared but a boy much shorter than him was looking at him. They didn't make him any less unfriendly.

"So, I heard a rumour...."

"F**k off Rich," Connor said narrowing his eyes. "Shouldn't you be off with Jake?" Rich turned slightly red and didn't answer the question.

"Connor likes Michael..." Rich added onto his previous statement. The long pauses between the two statements added an eerie feel.

"F**k yOU!" Connor spat, voice cracking. This caused Rich to smirk and Connor's face to heat up.

"So you don't deny it? That's a first." Rich let out a soft chuckle.

"Oh my f**king God, just go away and make out with Jake or something!" Connor spat again, verging on rage and not really thinking about he was saying. "So, I have a f**king crush! Whatever! What the f**k is everyone's problem? Why are they acting like it's some rare f**king concept?!"

"Uh..." Rich had blushed at the Jake comment. This time Connor noticed it and he smirked. "So you do have one?" He asked, looking less cocky. Connor had this effect on people sometimes.

"I do like Michael," Connor replied in a whisper. "And everyone's f**king teasing me about it." He smirked again. "Do you have one?" He fired the question back, smirk widening when he saw Rich's face turn redder.

"I do not," Rich said too quickly. "I-I should be going." Connor watched him leave, smirking.

"He is not subtle." Connor's heart rate increased and he glanced at the brown eyed boy beside him.

"Michael!" He began smiling widely. God, I like him so much. Michael turned to look at him, also smiling.

"Hey Con!" He said. Connor's gaze softened. Michael was in his usual red hoodie. The red complimented Michael's complexion. Wait, this is Miguel all over again. Connor thought to himself. They even have similar names, but I don't care. Connor shook the thought from his head, just happy to be by Michael's side. "You know the guy I see sometimes at 7/11?" Michael asked suddenly.

"Yeah? He sometimes goes with the girl, that one right?" Michael nodded. They had had a conversation about the guy over text.

"I know his name now, at least, I think so."

"Oh? What is he called?" Michael looked up as if trying to remember, Connor found it cute.

"I believe he goes by JD? Not sure if that's right, but that's what I heard the girl call him, so."

"Oh cool."

"Jeremy seems to think that they transferred to this school but he's not sure if they go somewhere else or here or if they even go to school at all." Connor looked at Michael briefly. "He's odd though, he wears this trench coat thing and has black hair, and he also seems... kinda off?"

"Oh. Well, at least you only encounter him at the 7/11," Connor said, shrugging.

"Yeah, I guess so." Michael looked at Connor, borderline staring, but Connor didn't notice.

"Hey love birds!" Jared's voice caused Connor to jump and blush while Michael just blushed.

"We aren't," Connor answered, sending Jared a cool glare. Jared just smiled.

"Oh hey, Jared!" Michael said.

"Hello Michael," Jared answered. After that abrupt and weird conversation Jared begun to leave.

"Hey guys!"

Jared stopped dead.
