"I was a bet?" I ask for the third time to get the same nod from Grace. I can feel the tears coming down my face and falling onto my shirt. "I-I think I'm gonna go." I get up from the table and run out the cafeteria to the nearest bathroom.

I don't want to believe her at all. Why would Greg lie to me and play with me for a bet. I can't believe I fell for it and now I'm sitting on the bathroom floor crying about a guy.

Two months ago I wouldn't believe I would realize I'm gay and in love with a guy who only was using me. Greg has brought me out my shell a little bit and had me experiencing things I didn't think I would ever experience.

I couldn't believe it that I was a bet but now that I was thinking about it a lot of thing didn't add up. Mine and Greg's relationship was mostly based on sex and nothing else. Most of the time he would only talk about me in a sexual way and would always bring up the fact that I was a virgin. Now that I had realized that Grace wasn't lying I begin to cry even harder until I hear the bathroom door open and a boy walk in and begin to stare at me.

"You're Jacob right?" He asks as he pulls paper towels from the dispenser and hands them to me.

"Yeah." I mumble as I wipe the tears from my eyes. The boy looks familiar but I can't remember where I had seen his face at before.

"Well I'm Jacob too, nice to meet you." He puts his hand out for me to shake and I do.

"It's weird seeing you when you aren't naked in my brother's bed." He laughs.

"What?!" I  stand up and look at him with wide eyes.

I realize where I remember him from, he was Kameron's brother and I had seen him the morning after what had happened with us. He looked like he couldn't be that much younger than them, maybe 16.

"Yeah, it's weird because I had always thought my brother would be the last person to be in love with a guy but here we are." He gets up and heads towards the door and waves before he walks out.

"In love?" I sit back down on the floor and take in what he said. Was Kameron in love with me? I get up from off the bathroom floor and wipe my tears again before leaving the bathroom when the bell rings.

I went to the rest of my classes without saying a word and just keeping my head down so I didn't draw any attention to myself.

On my way to leave the school I hear a voice yell my name from down the hall. I turn around to see Charlie running towards me.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" He is bright red and could barely get his sentence out.

"What?" I wanted to get home as soon as possible and not run into Kameron.

"I haven't seen you in awhile bro, you've been distant and everything since what happened to you." Charlie says patting me on the shoulder.

"Yeah, i've been distant with everyone." I wanted the conversation to be over.

My relationship with Charlie wasn't the same at all since I had come back, he was into playing sports and being popular and I didn't like any of that. I also couldn't spend much time with him because he was always at practice and making out with some random chick.

"We should hang out tonight and play some video games like the old days." Charlie says giving me a pat on the shoulder. He then ran off to kiss some girl down the hallway and I make my way out of the school to my car.

When I pull into the driveway Jacob is walking down the sidewalk to his house next door, he waves and smiles as he passes.

"Hey!" I motion him to come over. He walks up the driveway towards me smiling.

"Yes?" He taps his foot on the grass waiting for me to respond.

"About earlier what did you mean when you said that your brother was in love with a guy." I ask.

"Well, you're smart so what do you think it means." Jacob then smiles and walks across the lawn to his house and smiles one last tome before he enters.

I didn't know what to think, did Kameron like me? Did I like him back? Did I have feelings for Greg?

I close the door to my bedroom and fall on my bed and close my eyes.

The last thing I think about before falling asleep is how much fun tomorrow was going to be hanging out with an old friend and leaving all the drama behind me.
