I started to get more comfortable with the people at my table.
Including him.
He's cute.
Wait what the hell am I thinking?
I don't like him.
I like Luke.
Right?
He speaks,
And his voice rings in my ears and snaps me back to reality.
"Hey, do you have a pen I can use?"
I stared blankly at him,
Admiring his eyes.
"Story?"
"AH yes! I-I do have a pen you can use. Sorry!"
Wow real smooth Story.
I kick myself in my thoughts.
"It's ok."
His voice is so soft.
AH STOP!
I kick myself again.
I grab a pen and hand it to him.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. What'd you need it for anyways?"
He grabs his pen and compares the two.
"Hers is better"
He mutters under his breath,
Smiling as he said it.
My cheeks flushed red.
What the hell is wrong with me today?
I snap out of it.
"I wanted to see which one had more ink."
He said with a smile.
"Mine has more ink though so you can have it back."
He says as he hands it back.
I grab it and draw a smiley face on his book.
"See? It still has ink."
He draws an awkward smiley face next to mine.
He adds a little dot for a nose.
Aw cute.
GOD will you cut it out?
We laugh together over his awkward smiley face.
I wish I could see his smile.
Stupid masks.
