Children laughed over small gifts, parents chatted away with close friends and neighbors, and the teens… sat.
I sat. I don’t know what to do in such an atmosphere so lively. A cigarette hanging loosely from my lips, eyes fleeting over to Guest when I often find myself awkward.
God, he’s pretty.
Me, the school’s playboy with a passion for drums and a loss of interest in girls, too scared to announce it to anyone, was jealous of Guest’s outwardness in his sexuality.
My eyes drift over to the other boy for what seemed like the tenth time that night, gently knocking his knee with my own. “The fireworks are starting, man.”
It would’ve been a new year’s miracle if Elliott were able to kiss that boy. He’d thought about it so many times, enough that he’d distance himself from Guest, then come running back when realizing the other teen really didn’t care if Elliott stopped paying him attention.
Now, at the town’s party, this moment was no other. He’d completely ghosted him for a whole three weeks. Yet here he was, trying to start conversation over the light glow of the bonfire— all despite the frustration and want brewing in his chest towards Guest.
