An Emo's Love

Dinner Date Kinda

"...And that is how Thomas Jefferson became the next president. Thank you all, you may go to lunch."
The bell rang and I snapped out of my daydreaming trance. Was that the bell for lunch?
Oh my god I gotta go meet Colin.

I quickly rush out of my seat, picked up my bag off the floor and threw it over my shoulder. I made a beeline towards the door but before I could, I was stopped dead in my tracks by what seemed to be the biggest jock I had ever seen.
"Hey, don't think I've seen you around. My names Jonas."
He pulls me by my shoulder and brings me away from the door
"Hi Jonas, do you mind letting go of me? I have somewhere to be." I lift my head up to him, showing my slight confidence.

His grip was so strong, there's no way I could've made a run for it as he pulled me away. I really don't wanna keep Colin waiting, he should literally be just outside the door.
"What's all the hesitation for? I don't think you'd wanna leave my arms."
He pushes me into the corner of the room, I felt helpless.
Wait. If I scream maybe Colin would hear me. But would he be able to take on Jonas? Ugh it's worth a try.
I glance up at him and smirk.
"Jonas, do you think you're a smart guy?" I let out a small laugh.
"I'd say I am, yeah. Why?"

I take a huge breath and scream the loudest I ever could. My mouth was suddenly cupped by Jonas' hand. Surely enough, the door swung open and there he was with a lot of other people all with confused expressions on their faces. Jonas removed his hand from my mouth and stepped back, I stand up straight and walk over to Colin.
"I didn't know you'd be into the whole hero complex thing. Thank you tho-"
I was cut off by Colin wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder
OH MY GOD, IF THIS MOMENT ISN'T THE CUTEST THING EVER I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. AHHHHH

"Are you okay?" He says quietly to me.
I hesitate.
"Y-Yes I am, thank you."
"Positive?"
"100%"
"Good, now let's leave this douche and go to lunch."
He lifts his head off my shoulder and steps away from our embrace. We both turn around to see all the people staring at us. Some had cell phones in their hands and others eyes were the size of the moon.
Shit. I forgot there were people behind us-
All of a sudden, Colin had grabbed hold of my hand and we were both running down the corridor to the lunch hall. I looked at him in front of me and smiled, this was the most fun I've had in a while. Besides seeing a Fall Out Boy concert back in April 2005, now that was awesome.

We reached the lunch hall and sat at a table in the darkest corner of the room, he couldn't have chosen a more perfect place. I caught my breath while reaching into my bag and pulling out my lunchbox. I look up at Colin, who was already tucking into a cheese sandwich. He looked up and saw me watching him, I suddenly look back down at my lunchbox. He definitely saw me...

I glance back up at him and he was still looking at me.
"I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable just then."
I laugh nervously
"Oh no, it's not a problem at all." He laughs back.
I open my lunchbox to see nothing but two crackers and an apple. My god damn mom didn't pack me anything. FUCK!
I slam the lunchbox lid and shove it into my bag and sigh loudly.
"Um.. are you alright?"
I look up quickly and see Colin staring at me, concerned.
"Yeah... actually no! My mom didn't fucking pack me any food but a few scraps."
I didn't want to let out any anger on him, so I tried my best to keep it inside.
"Do you want some of my food... I- I would mind at all..."
I relax slightly, wow... I don't think anybody's done that for me.
"Are you sure?"
He nods his head and slides his paper bag over to me. I reach into it and pull out the other half of his sandwich, it looks so neatly assembled.
"It's the least I can do for you, I- I wouldn't want you to go hungry..."
I notice him blushing slightly.
Damn what is he doing to me? He's making me fall for him even more.

Around 15 minutes had passed and I had eaten most of Colin's lunch. During that time, I noticed that he looked at me every few minutes. I'm pretty sure he's taken a liking to me. I pass him the paper bag back and as I give it to him, he slipped his fingers on top of mine accidentally. I pull my fingers away quickly, I don't want this to be some cheap ass Disney movie where we accidentally touch hands and then music appears out of nowhere, and then we start making heart eyes at each other. No! No lame love stories are happening here. Although his fingers were very very soft, I have to say no to the fantasy.
The bell goes and I get my schedule out, again flicking through the endless pages of lyrics that I'm gonna use eventually! Just you wait! I haven't found the right time yet. Oh! I have no more lessons! YES! I look up at Colin who was already waiting to go.
"Hey, I have no more lessons now. What about you?"
He smiles at me shyly
"Yeah, um I have no more lessons left to attend either. So is there anything you want to do?"
" Yeah, we could go to my place. Maybe watch a movie or something?"
I ask him as I get out of my seat, throwing my bag over my shoulder once again.
"Sure we can... what movie?"
"Huh? Oh I was thinking Rocky Horror?"

( Editors note: My headcanon is that Colin's favourite movie is Rocky Horror since he spoke about it in the movie)

His eyes widen and a dorky smile appears on his face. He rushes out of the lunch hall and I laugh, chasing after him. We both run out of the front of the school and he turns right, running down the street.
I stop and laugh again.
"COLIN!"
He comes to a complete stop and turns around to see me in the distance.
"MY HOUSE IS THIS WAY!"
I call out to him, as I run away and lead him so he doesn't lose his way again.

I reach my house and I can hear Colin close behind. I walk onto my porch and turn around, seeing him walk through my front gate. He smiles and stands right in front of me.
"Hi there..."
He holds my waist gently, brings me forward and...
