Julian's POV
As soon as I wake up, I check my phone. It was 6 AM. I always get up early just so that I can get ready early. Did it ever since sophomore year. I looked at my phone and looked at me and Mattias' text messages. I stared at it for a few seconds and texted him 'I'm picking you up today' as soon as I pressed send I throw my phone across the room. My thoughts fluttered across my mind like butterflies as I lay on my bed looking up to the ceiling. Shit. I think I sound demanding. I should've never said anything like that. My phone chimed. It was a Mattias.
Mattias responded. 'Okay' he texted. 'Your up early' I attempted to start a conversation. 'Yeah I couldn't sleep what about you?' He asked me. I can't help but wonder why I feel so eager to talk to him. Happy for what? I was even eager to talk about this subject! 'I always wake up early. Just to get ready before my family wakes up.' I responded. 'I should actually try that sometimes instead of waking up early.' He responded. Damn. It was already 6:10. I was kinda sad that I had to stop texting him to get ready. 'Yea you can get a lot done. But I got to go talk to you later.' I responded. I quickly put my phone down because I knew if I saw his text I wouldn't get ready.
Warm water flowing down my body felt amazing. I grab my shampoo and conditioner and washed my hair thoroughly. After rinsing my hair I squeezed the bottle of body wash onto my towel. When rubbing my body with the cloth I felt a shock. It was hard. And of course the age I am, it'll do that but the reason why—or person is weird to me. I blame hormones.
After rinsing the soap off my body and I step out the shower and wrap my towel onto my waist. Damn. It's still hard. Ugh, Mattias. I shake my head forcing the thought out of my mind. I mean I could never be attracted to a boy. Even though I really never been genuinely attracted to a girl. I sigh in relief of it finally going down. I brush my teeth and continue to get ready.
"Julian!" My mom yelled from downstairs. I came out my room walking down with my bookbag, one strap on my left shoulder. "I'm leaving now." I said giving her a huge hug. "I have a good day at school, love you." My mom said eagerly.
I sat in front of Mattias' house, waiting for him to come out. It was seven thirty and school started at seven forty-five. I never really cared if I was late for school so I didn't mind waiting. Finally, he came out the door. The morning sun made his light brown skin shine. His lips shined even brighter. I froze as he walked around the car to the passenger side.
"Good morning. Sorry I took too long." Mattias said sweetly, buckling his seatbelt. I was still froze, staring into the road. Not only is he attractive for some odd reason. He's also speaking. His voice is so soft and sweet. His perfect.
*Snap* Mattias snapped his fingers in front of my face and I blinked and snapped back to reality. Which is, I'm not gay. "Oh, yeah. It's okay. Good morning." I tried not to say awkwardly. Mattias chuckled. "Alright let's get going." Mattias said smiling. Julian starts the car and pulls off, heading to the school.
After he said that there became a silence. Maybe I should start something? "You're talking more." I attempted to start a conversation. "Yeah, that's why I was up all night. Not talking for some years made me need to practice. Plus I started back singing last night." I laughed uncontrollably after Mattias said that. I looked at him and he gave me a serious look. "You sing?" I asked remarkably. "I was in choir in middle school, but then things happened and I stopped talking for a long time." his face saddened after he said that. It seems like his past is kind of sullen. "It's okay, you don't have to tell me. Just know I'm here for you." I said reassuring him. I can't believe it... I was blushing! "Thank you." Mattias had responded to me. Damn it! His voice is so sweet. Shit, oh my god. I'm fucking bricked up.
