Joseph was your best friend ever since middle school, you both are now in high school as a sophomore. A fight broke out though during lunch, apparently someone was talking shit about you and Joseph wasn't about to let it go so easily. You saw the crowd form as you try to squeeze through, seeing your best friend repeatedly punching the guy while students pull him back

Then you heard something, the guy who got demolished by Joseph yelled out at him "You're only defending their name, because you like them!" The guy smirked, Joseph looked in rage, and escaped the people who were holding him back as he swung a hard punch on the guy's face. Blood dripping down his nose, his knuckles all red from the damage he was doing. You spoke up in a shock and slight fear in your voice

"Joseph?.." You mutter out enough for him to hear, you turned to you afraid you will see him differently but he was more afraid because his secret he kept from you got out... That he liked you..
