Chapter 41 - side effects

(George was walking beside William but then he stopped when their hands brushed. He started to walk behind William, trying not to let anyone know that they are together. *well, everyone knows* but he didn't want William to feel uncomfortable. William noticed that he was walking at a distance. He stopped walking. George also stopped)

George: what's wrong?

William: why are you walking like this?

George: like what?

William: you're not walking beside me.

George: i thought you might be uncomfortable.

William: no, I'm not uncomfortable. It's normal to walk beside each other. You're over thinking.

George: well i've been spending so much time with you. You know, side effects.

(George said jockingly to which he got a death glare)

William: shut up!

George: yes sir!

(William smiled and held his hand, walking side by side. George smiled. The students who passed by them were squealing, happy that they are official. While some didn't care and didn't pay any attention to them. Some might be jealous too but they didn't care. George dropped William to his class)

William: you know? i'm not a kid. I know where my classes are.

George: oh you got me wrong darling. I just want to be with you most of the time. So, i use every opportunity.

William: i didn't say this before. So, i'll say it now. You're way too cute.

(William said while pulling George's cheeks. Because of this, George got shy, he hid his face in the palms of his hands and ran to his class. William chuckled and got into the lecture hall. He saw Emma sitting in the second row, she was already looking at him. He smirked and went to her. He sat beside her)

Emma: hey i saw what happened, tell me everything.

William: yeah you saw right. Me and George are together now.

Emma: congrats! I'm so happy for you guys. So, when are you throwing a party?

William: what party?

Emma: a party to celebrate you two getting together.

William: you're a party person?

Emma: only if it's with the people i know.

William: you'll have to wait for that. So, you tell me, what's your deal with James? You both are seeing each other a lot. Are you dat--

(Emma didn't let William complete his sentence)

Emma: no not now. Well, i like him. I know he likes me too. But we are fighting over one thing. Not fighting, just confused.

William: what's the reason?

Emma: we --

William: what was the reason?!

[If you know what i did there, you're right]

Emma: let me talk! So, we are confused between who would confess first.

William: what?

(He was confused. Emma sighed)

Emma: well one day, he was walking me back to my apartment. While talking, we suddenly confessed to each other. We said "I Love You" at the same time. James said that he wanted to confess first and i said that I wanted to confess first. So, we're not officially a thing. We agreed on seeing who would confess first.

William: that's so confusing. I mean, if you know your feelings and you've also confessed to each other, then why are you not official?

Emma: i don't know either. I want to confess first. Help me!

William: it's not a competition or something.

(William thought for a moment)

William: so this weekened, means tomorrow, me and George are hanging out with James and Emily. Why don't you come with us? We'll have fun and you can confess to him. He wouldn't know that you will be coming and then you can surprise him.

Emma: that's good. What about Travis? Isn't he going with us?

William: yes, he isn't. This hangout is planned for Travis.

(He explained everything to Emma and she gasped. She placed her hand on William's shoulder and gave an assuring nod)

Emma: we'll definitely succeed in this plan. You're so smart.

William: i know~

(William said while flipping his hair)

Teacher: you two, stop talking or get out of the class.

(William and Emma, both apologised to the teacher and sat quietly)

Timeskip

(After their class, Emma and William went to their separate classes. William was listening to the teacher and he noted every detail in his note book. When the lecture was over, he packed his things and got out of his class to go to the cafe. He was walking down the hallway when someone pulled him in an empty classroom. He got shocked from the sudden action and before he could say anything, his mouth was sealed shut from a kiss)
