Evan POV
I stayed in my room for what seemed like days but was just a mere few hours. I was startled when I heard my door open, looking to see my father standing there. "Hey kiddo your home early" "just a bad day is all.." I mumble. He sighs and sits next to me "bullies again?" I couldnt tell him the real truth so I just nod, I mean I'm not completely lying. "You need to learn to stand up to them. Your a smart boy, you can beat them with brains, not brawn" he said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Thanks dad" I smile slightly. He always managed to cheer me up. "Your welcome son. Now go have a shower and wash up, we're having company over for dinner" "oh? Who?" I ask curiously "a surprise person" he smiles. I nod and he get up and leaves.
I force myself to get out of my little cocoon i made from my blanket and go to my bathroom, stripping and turning on the water, waiting until it was the perfect temperature before getting in. I relax as the water cascades down my body, this is just what I need, along with years of therapy im sure. I let the water wet my black curly hair before washing it and rinsing it. Once I'm done I wash my body then just relax for a few minutes. Honestly I didnt want to get out but knew I had to. I have always loved water i dont know why but I just do. If it wasn't for bullies then I would've join the swim team but people made fun of my body. Im not a skinny boy nor am I fat, I'm a little cubby but otherwise in perfect heath. Doctors say I get it from my mom's side of the family, which makes sense since dad is a tall 6'2 muscular guy and mom is a 5'7 little cubby woman. Im about 5'10 right now so I'm in between the 2. I soon get out of the shower, drying off and dressing in a nice pair of jeans and a t-shirt, I dont wear suits.
Once I was done I head downstairs and hear a doorbell. "Evan, love can you get the door?" My mom calls from the kitchen. "Sure momma" I call back and head to the door, opening it and immediately wishing I hadnt. In my doorway stood my worst enemy, Tyler. His parents on either side of him, his mother wearing a green dress and his father wearing a black suit. "You must be Evan" his mother smiled. I nod and let them in, getting a glare from Tyler as he passes. They make their way to the kitchen and my mother and father greet them happily. "Evan dear why dont you and Tyler got to your room until dinner is ready?" Mother suggested. I was about to say not when I was interrupted "that sounds fun, right Evan?" Tyler says, giving me a small glare. I nod and go to my room, Tyler following behind me as we walk up the stairs. I open my door and go in, sitting on my bed and Tyler closed the door behind him "you told didnt you?" He growled. "N-No! I didn't tell anyone I promise" he sits at my desk and crosses his arms. "Then why the hell am I here?" "I dont know" he seemed to believe me and got up, going to my bookshelf and picking up a book, flipping through it then laughing "wow didnt know the nerd was into erotic boyxboy books" "hey put those down!" I blush, trying to grab the book but he put it above his head. Curse him for being taller than me.
We were called down to the kitchen 10 minutes later. I sat beside my father while Tyler sat beside his mother. We ate rather silently, my mother occasionally talking with his. After dinner I go to put my plate in the sink but my father stops me "Evan please sit, we have something to tell the both of you boys" I nod and do as I'm told. Tyler's mother looks to mine, receiving a nod and she speaks "Tyler, Evan, we know you boys aren't on the best terms but the reason we came to dinner tonight with Evan and his family was to make this announcement. You boys are engaged. To each other" I felt my blood freeze. Engaged? To Tyler? Oh no
Hey guys! Here's chapter 3! It's a bit longer than the others. Also since I forgot to say it in the first chapter I will put the descriptions of both boys here.
Evan- black curly hair, green eyes, 5'10, shy demeanor if you haven't noticed
Tyler- blonde hair, hazel eyes, 6'1, mean demeanor, but also kinda nice
