So, we had to choose partners for this airplane project. Basically, we were going to paint planes. Yippee. I glanced at Mari, who had already chosen with Roy. I had mixed emotions about that, but I wasn't going to show it.
"Oi, we're together." Jake said, coming towards me. I wasn't going to admit that I wouldn't mind kissing him- Not until he said it first.
"That's what he said." I replied, kicking my legs up on my desk. His face flushed slightly. Score. I did think Mari was cute, but if I had to choose one person...Well...
"Cmon, let's paint" He said, grabbing my hand while looking at me. I get what he was saying. If I liked him as a friend, I shouldn't get nervous of holding hands. Taking a quick breath, I squeezed his hand and continued walking with him.
"What colour should we use for our paint" I asked, looking at the choices. I grabbed green before he 1could respond.
"You didn't let me choose" he pouted. I smirked, knowing well that he liked green. Everything was going fine until I sneezed, and knocked over the paint onto Jake.
"Ah...Fuck!" He mumbled, wiping it.
"Here, i'll help" I said, wiping his pants with my hand.
"Seriously Ethan, just cause you wanna touch me doesn't mean you gotta throw paint on me!" He exclaimed, shoving my hands off. Sheesh. I stood silent for a bit. In a couple seconds- Jake sighed. "Sorry." He mumbled. He sat on the grass again, looking so poor and helpless. The paint was mostly on his pants, face and hair. I sat in front of him, wiping the paint off his face. Ah, his little face. After around 15 minutes, I had gotten him mostly paint free. (It could have taken five minutes but I chose to go a little slower) And I was looking at him before I was interrupted by someone.
"AHEM." Roy said, peering down at us. "For a pair of dudes that aren't dating, you seem to be close." She said it with a slight sadness in her. I wonder who she was talking about. I was so invested in my thoughts that I didn't hear her close the door. And lock it. Oh fuck. She smirked. "ADIOS SUCKERS" I hear her yell inside the school. I looked at Jake, and felt rain on my head. Cold rain. Since Jake was wearing a T-Shirt, I could see him slightly shivering. I banged on the door, but no one was coming. I looked at him again, and chucked my sweater at him. "Ahh, thanks-" I snatched it right before he touched it.
"Say you want it." I said, smirking at him. He flustered up.
"I...Uh.. Can I have your sweater?" He moved closer to me, now hugging me. I could hear his heart beat. I gave him my sweater, and he turned to pull away. We were sitting in the corner of the school, and in the split second of the rain I wasn't thinking. "Stay," I said as I pulled his head closer into my neck. He buried his face into my neck, making me wonder what our relationship was. I heard the click of the door unlocking, and just stood there. Just for a bit, i'd like to imagine us.
