Next Day - 2nd Block

meet me at my locker after school
Marc gasps outloud.
We're meeting already?! I'm not ready! What if he hates me! Oh, does he hate my writing? Is that why he wants to meet?
But, at the same time, Marc was a little excited to finally see Nathaniel.

He impatiently taps his foot, waiting for this class and all the rest to be over.

After School

Nathaniel anxiously waits by his locker, scanning the people clearing out of the school. Until,
"Nathaniel?"
He whips his head around, facing a smaller dark-haired boy.
"Oh, yes. Marc, I'm guessing," he sticks his hand out for Marc to shake. Marc stares at it with a head tilt, but shakes it anyway.
Argh, why did I do that! I'm such an idiot! Nathaniel internally screams.

"So why did you want to meet?" Marc questions, fiddling with his fingers.
Nathaniel takes a breath. "Truth is, I didn't want to keep waiting a day to hear from you," he scratches the back of his neck. "I wanted to see you."
Marc timidly giggles, and his smile brightens. "Yeah! Same!" He exclaims. "I mean, uh... yeah." He hides his blush, looking down.
Nathaniel gently smiles, relieved he's not the only one nervous.

"Could I have your number?" They stare at each other, startled that they spoke at the same time. 

And now, this lovely soon-to-be couple are a pair of tomatoes when Nathaniel asks,
"Are you free on Saturday?"
