Chapter twelve
***Carson 's P.O.V***
I was sitting on a bench eating my sandwich because none of my friends had come out of lunch yet. I saw Oliver come and sit next to me.
He looked at me, an unreadable expression on his face. "Hey, can I ask you something?"
I smiled. "Of course you can. "
He frowned slightly. "Um, imagine, hypothetically, that there was a boy who was with his friends and they weren 't nice. Do you think that the boy could change?"
I chuckled. "Are you talking about yourself?"
He sighed. "Okay, maybe I am. Can i change? Am I the same guy I was before I met you? What if I 'll always be a bad person? Am I annoying you? The fact that I ruined your life and now I 'm trying to hang out with you, isn 't that pathetic? Even if you …show more content…
"Wow, where did this all come from?"
He just grabbed my hand and clenched it with both of his own. "That doesn 't matter. Is what I said true?"
I sighed. "Of course it 's not true. Obviously you can change who you are, but already have changed recently and I don 't want you to change. Because you 're the best you 've ever been. Oli, you 're not a bad person. And I don 't think you 're pathetic for hanging out with me. I feel safer when I 'm with you."
He nodded, trying to convince himself that I wasn 't lying. "Oli, I wasn 't lying. You 're a good person. Just because you 've done some bad stuff, it doesn 't mean that you 're a bad …show more content…
Carson didn 't really seem to mind.
Dave 's dad turned to Oliver who was eating quietly, sitting on the other side of Carson. "So, Oliver, got a new girlfriend yet?"
Sam looked up confused. "What are you talking about? Oliver 's dating Carson."
Mrs Wood squealed and grabbed Carson, squeezing him into a tight hug. "I knew you guys were together! I always knew you were gay, Oliver. Oh my god! I 'm so happy."
Oliver shook his head. "Mum, it 's not like that."
However Mr Wood just put his hand on his son 's shoulder and smiled. "It 's okay. You don 't need to hide. I 'm happy for you. I 'm happy it 's Carson."
Oliver just nodded, trying and failing to hide a smile.
Dave 's mum and dad just smiled at Carson and Oliver as Mrs Wood finally released Carson.
I looked over at Dave and winked. He smirked back at me. We had pulled off step one of our plan. Next step, we take it up a notch.

***Oliver 's P.O.V***
After the dinner, I was dropping off Sam and Carson at their house.
Carson turned to Sam who was in the back seat. "Sam, go inside the house."
He nodded and walked into the house, unlocking the door. After Sam was gone, Carson turned to me. "Look, I 'm so sorry about what Sam
