I was walking into my last period class and I noticed my friend Ja'Se sitting down at a table with his head down. I got worried because usually he is energetic and thirsty for knowledge, ready to learn more. Despite what some people think of him he isn't shy and nerdy. He has his own sense of humor and is so smart because he likes learning new things.
I set my binder and laptop on my table and walked over to him. He still hasn't looked up, so I did the only thing that seemed to make sense to me; I leaned onto his back.
"Hey" I say softly in his ear.
"Hi" Ja'Se mumbles back with less motivation in his voice than usual.
"You okay?" I ask.
I feel him lightly nod his head. Normally, I would press the issue until he told me, but now I know I should just leave it be. I don't move from his back mostly because I can't. He is so warm. I begin to notice that the more I stay like this, the more he relaxes. I hear people whispering, giggling, and making snide comments, I just can't bring myself to care.
I don't know how long I'm like this, but I don't break out of my trance until I hear the teacher telling us to take a seat. I slowly stand straight, already missing my heat source, and walk over to my seat.
Ja'Se and I don't really talk much during class, but the amount of times we lock eyes make up for it. Each time I feel my face burn and look away quickly. My heart is beating really quickly. When I realize what this means, I frown as I looked down at my chest.
"Really, heart? Your doing this again?"
