"i'm sad that the project is due today," brielle said as she rested her face in her propped-up hands.
we were sitting in the library after reading over our project one last time. we had spent the last two weeks working on it and we were satisfied with the final project. we were sure we going to get an a.
i stretched my left arm across the table and placed my head in my hand. "you're sad that you don't have to explain a million different theories anymore?" brielle smiled and shook her head.
"you know what i meant!" she replied with a giggle. "you're a good partner and i had fun hanging out with you." i smiled at her and i was surprised i didn't blush.
"i had fun hanging out with you too." brielle and i sat there, inches apart staring at each other. the only thing holding us apart was the fact that she had a boyfriend. and also that she simply did not like me back.
brielle sat up straight again and started putting her things back in her backpack. "what are you plans for valentine's day?" i laughed as i watched her pack her things. she was so sophisticated and particular with how she placed things.
"valentine's day is on a monday this year," i sat up just like her and ran a hand through my hair. "besides, i don't have anyone to spend it with." brielle stopped packing her things and titled her head at me.
"i don't believe you," brielle said with a smirk on her face. my mouth gaped open as she continued to pack her things.
"why not?" brielle shrugged. "no no, you don't get to shrug your shoulders. i want to know why not."
brielle zipped up her backpack and then looked at me. "do you know how many girls in this school like you? i could find you a valentine in like, 5 minutes." sure, i knew there were a few girls that liked me but none of them were like brielle. i didn't want any of them though. i only wanted brielle.
i shook my head. "whatever it's a little late. valentine's day is in 3 days and none of them have ever tried to talk to me." brielle stared at me and suddenly a mischievous look appeared on her face. she pulled out her phone and began scrolling before looking up at me.
"one girl on the soccer team likes you," brielle turned her phone screen around and showed me a girl. i had seen her around before but i didn't know her name. "her name is alex. alex eriksen. she's really nice and has liked you for the longest."
i took brielle's phone from her hand and pretended to be interested. i'd be lying if i said she wasn't pretty, but to me, she was no brielle bender. i handed brielle her phone back and shrugged. "yeah she's pretty." brielle smiled.
"i'll send her your way so you can see for yourself." i faked a smile at brielle and opened my mouth to respond. unfortunately, the bell rung and i could finish my thought. "why haven't you packed up! we're gonna be late!"
i jumped up and quickly cleaned up stuff up. brielle was distracting. if we were late to class, i would 100% be blaming her.

"do you guys know an alex eriksen?" i asked matt and nick as we stood in our kitchen. the both of them nodded.
"yeah she's on the soccer team and in my spanish. i don't know her that well though," matt answered as he took a sip of his root beer. nick nodded in agreement.
"she's in my english class and she is the sweetest thing. why?" nick questioned as he looked over at me.
i took a sip of my pepsi and thought about whether or not i should tell them. i shrugged and decided to just spill the deeds. "brielle told me she liked me." nick slapped a hand over his mouth and matt choked on his root beer.
nick jumped over to me and clapped his hands. "yes! you guys would be a good couple. she would understand your humor."
matt pointed at nick and nodded. "i agree with nick. plus, you can finally get over brielle!" matt reached over and slapped my back.
"i didn't say i was going to start talking to her, i just asked if you knew her." i wanted to stop them before they started doing anything extra but maybe they were right. maybe it was time for me to find someone new.
nick titled his head at me and shook his head. "if brielle suggesting you find someone else isn't enough proof that she doesn't want you, i don't know what will prove that fact." matt busted up laughing and gave nick a fist bump. i punched nick and rolled my eyes.
"nick that was such a fucking good one," matt said as he continued to giggle. i punched matt too and the both of them kept laughing.
"you guys are the worst brothers ever." i said as i crossed my arms. i leaned on the kitchen counter and waited for them to stop laughing.
nick finally stopped and got serious. "sorry i had to do it. but seriously, if you want to try someone new, i'd try alex."
matt nodded in agreement again. "you never know. she could be better." i scoffed. i found that very hard to believe. if she was better, she would've caught my eye already.
"i'll think about it i guess." i wasn't going to think about it. brielle is the one i wanted.
