Status Updates From Straight Expectations

"Speaking of being a massive gay boy, did Oliver message you back? I'm sorry for winding you up about it before. I know you really like him..."
"It's okay," I say with a shrug. "Alicia was right. He is just a boy...A boy who's taking me on a date!"
"He is not!"
"He is!" I say. "He came right up to me this morning and asked me out like it was nothing. Oliver Chen asking me on a date."

"Look," Chris says, surprisingly gently. "I don't know what's going on here, but you seem pretty torn up about something, so maybe you should head home."
"Whatever," I say, pushing myself off the fence. "I never liked you anyway."
"Never liked you either, mate," he says, laughing. If Mum heard him say that, she'd have dropped him in a heartbeat. "Get home safe, though, okay?"
"Don't tell me what to do!" I yell back.

Okay I am OBSESSED with this story so far!! Can't believe I'm already halfway through

im not that far so he'll def get less annoying, but idk if i'll stick around long enough for that with how victim-y he acts
