Connor decided to forget the fact they may have flirted, but not really, when he went to school the next week. He'd been hung up on it the entire rest of the weekend. When he went to his locker, he heard a voice call out, "Connie?" Connor turned to find himself face to face with his crush. The nickname landed different now, because of that Saturday. Michael didn't seem to pick up on the fact that Connor was having a mental battle in his head. Is he my secret admirer if I have one? Does he like me back?

"Hey, Mikey!" Connor said smiling. "What are you doing here by my locker?" Michael smiled before smirking.

"I was talking to Jeremy but then, you-know-who showed up," he laughed. Michael was acting as if that Saturday never happened, and Connor was mentally sighing. Connor let out a laugh, which made Michael blush.

"Oh, I get it," Connor commented, now smirking as well. "He's helpless, isn't he?" Michael nodded.

"You should hear him talk on and on about her," he said. Michael then looked at him. "Any luck on the Jalana end?"

It took Connor a few seconds to realize that by Jalana, Michael meant Jared and Alana. He shook his head. "Nope, Jared's just as hopeless as he's always been."

"I heard that you d**khead!" An angry voice sounded behind them. They turned around to face him. Jared was blushing profusely. Jared fanned himself and smirked. "Though, I could say the same about you," he fired back. Connor felt his face heat up.

"So f**king what?" He snapped. "At least I've been over to his house! At least I talk to him!" Jared blinked.

"Uh... Con," he pointed toward Michael. Michael was blushing profusely and Connor jumped. Oh sh*t, oh f**k, oh sh*t. Connor turned toward Michael smiling sheepishly.

"Y-you have a crush?" Was all that Michael spoke. Connor was blushing profusely as well. He could feel it.

"Um, yeah.... prob'ly should've told you," he mumbled. Michael merely smiled shyly. Jared gazed at them, smirking growing in size.

"Well, since we're revealing these now," Michael began, regaining his composure. "I have one as well. That's what's Jeremy's been teasing me about." Michael suddenly covered his mouth. "I have to go!" He ran off. Connor turned toward Jared.

"You heard Michael right? He has feelings for someone!" Connor stated.

"Yeah, you." Jared commented. Connor frowned but blushed.

"You can't just say that, Jar Jar Slinks," he said, in a 'I'm not mad, just disappointed' tone. "You don't know who he likes. You can't just tell who he likes." Jared merely smiled.

"Don't pretend you don't want it to be you, though..." he commented, causing Connor's blush to darken.

"Oh f**k off!"

"You didn't deny it..."

"F**K OFF!" Jared merely chuckled. He then started to walk off.

"But, just keep an eye out. You might figure it out with time."

Michael's POV

Michael walked into someone. He looked up, and flinched when he saw Brooke. She gazed at him. "What's got you flustered?" She asked, looking at her yogurt.

"I might have..." he trailed off, not sure if he could tell her. Brooke gazed at him.

"Go on."

"Well, you know Connor?" Brooke nodded. "In an angry reply to Jared he admitted that he had a crush and that at least he has 'gone to his house' and that he talks to him." Brooke nodded again, taking in the information. "And now I'm thinking it's me, and of course I'd be really happy with that but I'm also stressed, because what if it's not me?"

"Why do you think it's you specifically?"

"Well, it's on a boy, which I am, Connor's been over to his house, he was at my house this weekend, and Connor talks to him, we have a chat."

"Sure, but why you?"

"I accidentally flirted and then... I think.... he flirted back." Brooke nodded.

"Well, maybe flirt a bit more? See if he reacts like he did?"

"Okay."

Connor's POV

Connor tried to calm down his racing heart before walking to class.
