Chapter 3

“Yeah sure I don’t want you to drown of boredom there do I?!” I answered, corny I know.

During that week Ryan and I became even amazing friends spending all our time at school chatting and all our time at home skyping!

By Friday I was starting to feel more and more frustrated with Ryan and myself however. I thought I was a good judge of character but I was getting a lot of mix signals from him and I didn’t like it. I needed to find out if he did like me. If he did then I would be amazingly happy and if not well I would have peace of mind and I could start getting over him. I was totally sure that he was not the sort of person too ruin our friendship because I liked him. I then decided I was going to ask him tomorrow at the swimming party and I was not going back out now.

That night I was too anxious to sleep I wasn’t sure how to ask him or tell him how I felt, I’d never felt this strongly about a person before until I decided that it was blatant I had to do it and I decided how I would do it.

The next day I arrived at the swimming pool to be welcomed by a running Ryan who had come out to greet me.

“Hi James! This is going to be so fun!” he shouted with everyone looking at me weirdly. Now that certainly wasn’t helping with the mixed signals.

We talked a bit more and I went and said hi to his friends and then made our way to the changing rooms, while his friends went to the canteen to get a drink first. Yeah they really weren’t good buddies!

We already had our trunks under our jeans so we just proceeded to get changed. As he removed his shirt I swear I could’ve just jumped him there. What was a second for him to take it off in real life was about a minute in my mind! And with harp music in the background! He had a profound six pack and his slightly toned body brought this out a lot. I didn’t think I was too bad looking but compared this I thought I was like Quasimodo. I slowly pulled my shirt down in the hope that he would go to the pool and I could meet him in there sparing me the shame.

“Come on no need to be shy! I’m sure it’s not too bad,” he said giving me a wink. And he stood there watching and waiting, until I reluctantly pulled my shirt revealing a very slight six pack. He smiled and said “There that wasn’t too bad was it?” and we started to walk to the swimming pool, me with a smile on my face.
