Ep 3 - Party night

Days of the week in school rolled on with me daydreaming about Steven then slapped back by reality, back and forth. We often cross paths in canteen and hallway and yeah we have some same classes. To tell you the truth we never spoke to each other actually. I realized it not too long ago but that's weird but true. I know, I know what u all will say that Evan how can you fall for someone with whom you have never talked to. But love is blind my friends. I like him and it's not that I don't know him. We have been to same school for years. I follow him in Instagram also. Yayyyyy! That's an achievement right?

Anyways, what I didn't know that fate will take its turn and in different ways I can anticipate. Slowly but steadily day of the house small party arrived. I waa getting ready for the chill night we are going to have. We three besties with lots of gaming, chatting and booze. Hey! that's what dudes do when they are left alone. I got in my comfy sweat-shirt and joggers, got out of my house and started to walking towards James' house. He lives just two blocks away from my house so it is a short distance walk.

I put my headphones on and played my fav playlisted songs. Oh this song! I love Adele and every time I listen to her song 'Easy on me', I think about what will happen if I come out someday. Will those people who love me will turn to hate me? Will I be left alone? Will they go easy on me? Random thoughts aside I reached James'. I rang the door bell. Tomas opened the door. He reached before me that's unexpected but ok. We both got on the couch in front of TV which was playing some sort of sport channel where soccer commentary and discussion is going on. I guess that's Tomas kind of thing. James came out from the kitchen with two big bowls of different flavored pop-corn, one of which is my fav plain caramel. Yum! He knows me aww my bestie.

Tomas was quite and the reason I assumed was he was chatting with his ex-girlfriend, Celine. He was not in a good mood. Ok that can ruin our night as well.

" Hey man, why that grumpy face? I ignored you and gave you some time to chill but now that Evan is here please can you not make that face?" James quite annoyed said to Tomas.

I felt the urge to tell him directly that this mood can destroy our long lost chilling relaxed night.

" Tomas you know right that we three rarely get time to hang out like this. We haven't have this kind of nights since ages. So please put that mood and mobile aside and relax. For us please?", I said.

" Okay fine. She is constantly nagging me to get back with her. I don't know whether I want that or not. I don't think we are that made for each other couples. Sigh", Tomas wryly added.

" It's ok bro. You can always come up to us. We will get you through every decision you make", James said and I agreed.

" You guys are the best. I love you. Ok now let's enjoy our night", Tomas chimed.

We selected a horror movie from netflix and started our night with it. We gradually got a bit drunk with alcohol as the night progressed. We decided to play some random card games then truth or dare.

" So James, tell us how many times you got laid?", Tomas asked.

" Dude I don't count. Still may be 3-4 with different people", James answered.

" That's lame. I got laid once with this cute girl that was awesome bro. We still are in contact but long distance kinda friendship thingy", Tomas said.

" Ok ok now turn the bottle. Let's see who is it this time", James twisted the bottle and it rolled towards me. So yup I'm next.

" Truth or dare?", Tomas asked.

" I guess Truth is it then..", I answered.

" Okie. Sooooo tell us who's your crush in our school? You don't tell us much about your crushes.", James asked, Tomas agreed.

Oh god! I can tell them that I have the hugest crush on Steven. The Steven. But you know when your tongue gets all twisted and slippery when alcohol rushes through your blood stream and make you say those things which you should not. Yeah that was the situation. I forgot what to say. I kept thinking and thinking but it was difficult when you have eyes on only one person and you rarely know the faces or names of others beside him. I have to think and quick.

" What's up Evan? Tell us come on. You are looking like we are demanding for your kidney or something. Its not a big deal we are bros.", Tomas said.

" Yeah... Actually you know... Umm.. I.. Really have.. Umm.. This girl, Emma. Yeah yeah. It is Emma. I have a hugeeee crush on her. She's so cute, kind, cool, smart. Good with everything. She has a great personality. I really really like him." I said unknowingly.

" Him? " James asked.

" Yeah him. I like him." I dreamily said.

" You said you like Emma. But she is a girl. Evan what are you saying ", Tomas frowned.

Oh shit! What the fucking hell alcohol. What did I just said?!! Oh no no no no. This can't be.

"I mean her yeah her. She's in my literature class. Not him not him. Of course its her." I tried to rectify. They were both glancing at each other and trying to process what I just said.

"Evan...", before James got the time to finish his sentence I jumped into the bed and said " My head is spinning I'm sleepy. Good night".

Holy moly I don't know what will be the repercussion of this small mistake.
