"Results: You're 40% gay!"

Cole couldn't believe this.

With everything that happened, with the mess he had in his head, with a result of an online test he saw in front of his face, he still wasn't able to process this.

He closed the laptop and fell backwards on his bed with a long sigh. He reached for his phone and headphones to the bedsite table; he had to listen to music to calm his thoughts, otherwise they would surely eat him alive.

That would explain the strange nervousness he experienced when he first met that Jay guy. The way his cheeks turned red the exact moment Jay laughed at something his friend said, and then the sudden skip of a heartbeat when their eyes closed for a second. Then, when Cole sneaked out of the class meeting and he followed him, when they sat on a bench and talked about everything and nothing as if they knew each other for forever... He was somehow calm, excited and scared at the same time. The wave of the emotions that washed him over resembled the feeling of something that we were waiting for a long time finally happening.

Well, and then Nya interrupted them, but anyway.

Even the shortest moment of seeing Jay, brought all of this back, and Cole had no idea how long will he survive this. Maybe he should make a first move? Just message him or talk to him in school? It shouldn't be this hard after all. Just walk to him with a smug smile, compliment his looks or whatever, ask to hang out after school so they can spend some time togheter and get to know each other better, and...

He shivered when he heard the door slamming. He opened his eyes hesistantly and saw Kai, his flatmate, eating cereal from a cup and spilling milk everywhere.

"I hate to interrupt you, but could I have my laptop back pretty please?" He asked, and then jumped on the bed right next to him (spilling even more milk).

Cole took his headphones off and groaned.

"Can't you just take it and leave instead of ruining my mood and making a mess out of my room?"

"Dude, your room is literally sinking in trash, I'm not the one responsible for the mess." Kai snorted and stuffed his mouth with cereals. "In moments like those I really miss Skylor... She was not only fun and cool, she also cleaned the whole flat frequently and cooked. Oh, and payed rent on time-"

"Shut up," Cole murmured and hit him with a pillow. "Just take the laptop and leave."

Kai rolled over him to the other side of the bed and opened the laptop on his lap.

"I actually only gotta check out one cute guy, it won't take too long-"

Suddenly, his eyes became wide and he choked on his cereals, and Cole got chills down his spine.

Oh, God. He didn't close the tab he used.

Suprisingly, Kai didn't do anything. He didn't start screaming, he didn't drop his cup. He just raised his eyebrow, gave him a questioning look, and ate another spoon of cereals. Cole cleared his throat, sat up and leaned on the wall to make himself comfortable.

"I- there is a boy in my class, a new boy. And I kinda-" he coughed. "I mean, I'm not sure or anything, but I guess I might like him, but it may be just my hormones or some other shit being weird, so... yeah."

Kai nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, that's good! It's great that you found someone you like." He smiled and put away the laptop and the cup. "Really great."

"But it might as well be nothing, I don't really know him well or..." Cole shrugged. "Just... I only think I like him, but it doesn't neccessary make me gay, right?"

"No, no, what you identify as is up to you honestly. But you know what? Screw that. The most important thing is that this boy might make you happy." Kai moved so he sat right next to him and slightly hit him in the arm. "So... wanna tell me something about him? No pressure though!"

"Nah, that's good." Cole looked up at the ceiling and couldn't stop himself from smiling. "So... we met for the first time on the class meeting a week ago. And it was boring, so we sneaked out, and kinda... hit it off right away, you know? And there is just something about him that..."

His phone buzzed. He looked at the screen to check who messaged him and gasped.

"Shit, that's him."

"What? Show me." Kai looked over his shoulder at the phone.

"Man, it's your chance! Answer him now!" Kai shook him by his shoulders.

"Shit, how do I phrase this?!" Cole panicked.

"Well, say that you're free this weekend so it's fine by you?" Kai proposed. "Just try to play it cool, dude. Like... kinda efortless, but also not too much. You get me?"

Cole shook his head in despair.

"Oh, for my grandma's sake, just answer him somehow!"

So, with shaky hands and loudly beating heart, Cole started typing.

"Oh my, did you send him a smiley face?" Kai sounded deeply dissapointed.

"Hey, don't judge me!"

"Emojis never work, believe me. I once sent some to that one guy and-"

"Shhh, he's typing!"

"Damn, did he really sent you a heart already? I'm impressed!"

"You see? The magic of the smiley face!"

The wave of emotions came back, but this time Cole welcomed it with his arms opened. He still had many questions unanswered, but wasn't it true what Kai said?

As long as he felt happy with what was happening, it was good.
