Anthony's POV I got dressed quickly, my mind still replaying the events with Jake. I changed into my house clothes and looked around my room, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. My brother and sister weren't home yet, and the house felt unusually quiet.As I sat on my bed, the silence was suddenly broken by a soft tapping sound. At first, I thought I was imagining things, but the sound persisted. It was coming from my window. My heart raced, and I stood up slowly, wondering who could be outside. I had never experienced something like this before.I walked cautiously to the window and peeked through the curtains. To my surprise and relief, I saw Jake standing below, looking up at me. He had a playful grin on his face, and when he saw me, he waved."Open the window!" Jake shouted, his voice carrying just enough for me to hear without alerting anyone else.I quickly unlocked and opened the window. "What are you doing here?" I whispered urgently. "My father's home."Jake looked

The next morning, I woke to the soft light filtering through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on Timothy, who was still asleep in the bed across from mine. I moved quietly, not wanting to wake him. I got dressed, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of the day ahead and, inevitably, thoughts of Jake.As I gathered my things, I glanced at Timothy, appreciating how peaceful he looked. It was a stark contrast to the turmoil I felt inside. I made my way downstairs, where I found Andrew already eating breakfast. We ate in relative silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts. After breakfast, we headed out together for school.When we reached the school gate, Andrew spotted his friends and quickly ran off to join them at the sports field. "See you later, Anthony," he called back to me. I watched him go, feeling a pang of envy at how easily he fit in.I walked to my classroom alone, trying to steel myself for the day ahead. As I entered the class, I was immediately struck by an unexpected

When Timothy, Anthony, and Andrew returned home from school, the day’s events still weighed heavily on Anthony's mind. The encounter with Jake had left him emotionally exhausted, but Timothy’s supportive presence had been a significant comfort. Timothy, sensing the tension, decided he needed a refreshing shower to unwind. He headed upstairs to their shared bedroom, leaving Anthony in the living room, lost in thought.Anthony sat quietly on the couch, replaying the events of the past few days. The emotional roller coaster he had experienced was draining, and he felt a mix of confusion and heartbreak. As he sat there, he heard the distant sound of running water, signaling that Timothy was in the shower. After a while, Anthony decided to head upstairs to check on his brother.Climbing the stairs slowly, he approached their bedroom. As he opened the door, he was met with an unexpected sight that stopped him in his tracks. Timothy stood in the middle of the room, adjusting a towel around h

On this particular day, Timothy and Anthony were in class with other students, engaging in their usual discussions and activities. The classroom buzzed with the sounds of chatter and laughter. Suddenly, the door swung open, and in walked Mina, one of the prettiest girls in the class. She was known for her confidence and charm, and today, she seemed to have a specific mission."Timothy," Mina called out, her voice clear and confident, "will you be my boyfriend?"The room fell silent as every head turned to look at Timothy. His eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting this public declaration. Anthony, sitting beside him, felt a sudden rush of emotions he couldn't quite identify. It was a confusing mix of jealousy, anger, and something else he couldn't put into words. The students around them began to cheer and clap, eagerly awaiting Timothy's response.Timothy, still processing the unexpected proposal, shrugged and said, "I will think about it."A wave of disappointment swept thr

As the next day unfolded at school, Timothy and I found ourselves working together during the lunch break. We did almost everything together, and Timothy's affectionate gestures, like constantly pecking me on the cheeks, were becoming a bit too much for some people around us. While some gave us disgusted looks, Timothy seemed unfazed by it all.On this particular day, as Timothy and I were engrossed in our work, Jake suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed my arm, pulling me away without even waiting for Timothy to react. He dragged me towards the side where the toilets were and locked the door behind us."What is the meaning of this?" Jake demanded, his voice filled with anger. "I thought we were dating. Why are you with another guy and I see you been all romantic with him.I stared at him, taken aback by his sudden outburst. "But I... You said you didn't want to see me. You said..." My voice trailed off as I struggled to find the right words.Jake's eyes flashed with anger and
