"I want you to promise-" I cut my question off mid-sentence. I turned
around to look at him man-to-man but all I saw was a broken boy. "Promise
me I can make you feel better."

Chapter 2:
Dates, Dorks, and Dummies

            I looked at Mason with his broken eyes looking back. They were
red a puffy and I couldn't help but to feel sorry for him. He was a nice 17
year-old teenager who had just realized he was gay. I couldn't have
imagined how hard that must have been for him. I pulled him into a bro-hug
as he started to sob. I really felt sorry for Mason. He has always been a
friend of the family. I wondered if that would change.

            After Mason's cries had died down a bit I turned and opened my
door so we could sit down on the bed and talk. I shut the door behind Mason
and looked over to where he started another round of cries. His head was in
his hands this time instead of my shirt so I just looked on this scene from
the door. Every inch of me wanted to go comfort him but something told me I
shouldn't.  I wanted to go and sit next to him on the bed and tell him
everything was going to be alright but how could I when I didn't even know
if that was true. My dad had never been a fan of gay people.  He would
always turn the television off if even a reference was made about
homosexuals. How would he react to finding out that his daughter had gotten
dumped because Mason was no longer straight?

"Justin, would you happen to have any tissues?" His voice sounded so broken
and choked. God it was so heartbreaking.

            "Yea bud. Hold on a sec." I whipped out my wand and went over
to my desk in the corner of my room. "My friends in deep on some big
issues, help him out with a box of tissues." I took the box of tissues and
sat down next to him. He took the tissues and thanked me. "Buddy, you know
I'm still your friend right? I know this is a tough time for you and you
need someone so I just want you to know I'm here for you."

"Yes Justin, I know. I can't tell you how much that means to me." He looked
up at me and smiled, though the smile never reached his eyes. "I just need
something to get my mind off of everything."

            I then had a brilliant idea. I had gotten a hold of two tickets
to see a swing band with Macy that night but now that Macy was out of the
picture I was sure Mason could take her place. "Hey, would you like to go
see a band play tonight? I have the extra ticket and I'm sure it will take
your mind off of things."

He smiled at me again, this time the smile radiating from his whole
face. "Thank you."

            "Mason and I have a date, get us there so we won't be late"

Alex's POV

            No way was Justin going to be stealing my boyfriend even if he
was gay. Wait.  Justin wasn't gay so he couldn't steal my boyfriend. Right?
Ugh. I needed Mason back at any means possible.

            I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, would you get me some chips while your up?" Max yelled from the
couch.

            "Max, what's wrong with your legs?"

"I can't miss a second of Pretty Little Liars!" God sometimes I wondered
about that boy.

            "Max...  Pause the show."

"Oh yea." He paused the show and walked over to where I was standing. "He
looked sad you know?"

            "Who?"

"Mason. He's really going through a tough time." Ugh, Max was not helping.

            "I wouldn't know Max. I'm not a gay teenage boy who just dumped
his girlfriend."

"Huh... Neither am I! We have so much in common Alex." No help. He got some
food from the fridge and went back to the couch to finish his show.

            Wait a second. I wasn't a gay teenage boy... But could I have
been one? Holy cow! Yes!  I could see it all happening in my head! I needed
one thing first though, a spell. I ran downstairs into the Sub-Shop. Ugh
that run down place. I saw my dad and mom working with the customers so I
quickly ran into the lair before anyone could see me.

"Why couldn't you have just poofed in like me?"

            "Max!  Oh my god. Can you not just sit like a good little boy
and watch your shows?"

"I want to know what you're up to."

            "Umm no. Not a chance."

"Then I guess I'll have to tell dad."

            "Max!"

"Tell."

            "Ugh!  I'm turning myself into a boy to get my boyfriend back."
There was a long silence after that. "You satisfied?"

"Alex that is so wrong."

            "I didn't ask. Can you leave now?" I hated being so mean to him
but I needed Mason back.

He walked to the portal door and looked at me. "Best of luck to you Alex."
He opened the door and went through.

Justin's POV

            Me and Mason arrived in the alley right next door to the Dance
Club. I gave the ticket collector our tickets. Mason and I walked through
the doors and the place was a total old-people's hall. Exactly what I had
liked.

"So this is our date huh?" Mason chuckled.

            "Well as friends yes." I half smiled, worried that I had given
him the wrong impression.

"Justin. I'm just joking with you." He nudged me and we walked out on to
the dance floor. "So are you very good and swing dancing?"

            "I have picked up a few moves here and there." I smiled at
him.The music started and I swayed my hips in rhythm.

"I certainly see that." He smiled at me. Something about that smile...

            "So have you ever been swing dancing?" I did not just think
about his smile.

"I can honestly say this is a new experience." Ugh his smile again.

            "Well I'm glad I got you trying new things."

"Yea. It's good to try new things..." I could definitely see where this
conversation was going. "Maybe I could get you to try new things sometime?"
He moved in closer to me. Oh god.

            "Certainly sounds like fun and all but maybe we should stick to
one new thing per night, eh?" I stepped back a step. "Can't have too much
fun."

"Well maybe Ican have some fun with this lovely gentleman." I turned my
head to see a 6-foot guy beaming a wide smile at Mason. Brown, short
hair. Gorgeous eyes of course.  Oddly familiar. "May I have this dance?" He
reached out his hand for Mason.

            "Of course you may," Mason answered. Him and this new guy
walked farther out into the dance floor and I went and sat at a nearby
table. Everything about this made me so mad. I wanted to go over there and
sock that guy in the face for ruining a good moment that I was supposed to
ruin. This guy irked me so much!  Why though?

            They danced for an hour and a half before the dude left and
Mason came to where I was sitting.

            "Have fun?" I shot a glare at him then looked down at the
table.

"Yes... Alex seemed like a really nice guy. I got his number."  Just great.

            "Satisfied with yourself?"

"Well not completely... I still haven't danced with you." He reached out
his hand and for some odd reason... I took it.

            "One dance."

            The band had stopped playing and for the rest of the night it
was a DJ. He was actually pretty good at choosing songs, for the most
part. As Mason and I got to the center of the dance floor, the most
romantic pop song came on: It Will Rain by Bruno Mars.

"Not a bad song choice." He chuckled and moved in to hold me like he would
hold anyone he was trying to get with. "I think it suits the moment."

            "And I think you're moving dangerously fast for a guy that just
got out of a relationship." I moved back. "I'm not gay either."

"Justin, for crying out loud, I am just having fun." He pulled me closer
and held me firmer.

            "You are really pushing it Mason."

"And you are really enjoying it so hush."

            "Now that Mason thinks he can, change this song to Candyman."
The song quickly changed to Candyman by Christina Aguilera. "Finally, a
good swing song." I broke the embrace and stepped five steps backward and
started to dance on my own. Why would he even think that I was enjoying
that?

Max's POV

            Was Alex really going to do that to Mason? Trick him like
that. That is so not cool. If Mason was gay she should have just let go.

"Are you ok bro?" I looked up from the park bench from where I was sitting
and saw a teenage boy, about my age, staring down at me. "You've been
sitting here for the last two hours."

            "Yea man, just thinking." He took the liberty of sitting down
next to me. "I'm Max Russo."

"Oh no need to introduce yourself. Your family is pretty known in the
wizard world."

            "For what, being so messed up?" He chuckled and looked at
me. "What?"

"You don't seem so messed up to me?"

            "Oh trust me, I am."

"You know, it's perfectly fine if you don't want to answer, but may I ask
why you are so messed up?"

            "Well I think that there's probably no harm in telling you so
sure why not." I repositioned myself to where I was sitting towards him. "I
constantly think about guys. I dream about doing things with guys that are
completely unnatural, well to me anyways."

"And why is that messed up?" He scooted closer to me in one swift movement
that I could say it was magic. Oh wait. Wizard World "I think it's
completely ok for you to have those thoughts and dreams. Pretty much
everyone does. It's normal Max."

            "Not for me." I put my head in my hands and felt tears
gathering in the corners of my eyes. "I really don't understand anything
anymore."

"Hey," he said grabbing my hand and holding it. "Don't blemish your face by
crying. Let's take a walk." He got up still holding my hand and as I stared
up into his beautiful green eyes, I could swear I was in love.
