9AM, MONDAY

Alexander is confused. After moving to another town in Belgium from Brussels, he met many new people, yet one had the biggest impact on him. and his name was Elias. Alexander and Elias have been hitting off great. they’re both friends, yet after one day after swimming in the lake, they made it back to Elias’s grandfathers farm, and kissed. a peck, no big deal. Elias looked happy with it. but today after playing basketball in gym, Alexanders team won. When Alexander went to hug Elias, he was pushed away. Why? .. After getting re-dressed in the boys locker room, Alexander had Elias meet up with him by the stalls in the bathrooms, which were luckily empty. Alexander was already there on the left side, his back resting against the closed stall doors. when Elias came around, he did the same on the other side of the stalls.

Slience washed over the two boys, till Alexander quickly spoke. “Do you actually like me or not?”

“I do.” Elias replied, keeping his eyes away from even meeting with Alexanders. “I don’t want anyone to comment.” Elias added. his soft reply was met by Alexanders rather loud and angry one.

“What does it matter?!” Alexander shouted back, taking a step forward off the stall door he was resting against to get somewhat closer to Elias. Elias stayed quiet, looking anywhere but in Alexanders direction. “Say something!” Alexander said again.

Elias quickly obeyed and said something. “I don't know any boys who are in love with another boy.” At that, Alexander sighed and went and rested his back against the stalls behind him. more slience came, yet stopped when Alexander shook his head

“I don’t want you to feel ashamed of me.” Alexander said softly

“Well what do you want me to do?” Elias replied with a shake of his head “Valerie doesn’t look at me anymore.” Elias said, mentioning his girlfriend who was ignoring him

Alexander tried not to lash out on Elias. “Why are you suddenly acting like this?” no response “Elias, l've been dealt enough shit already.”
