The First Time He Sees You

Johnny: 

It's the first day of school. You walk into science class a bit late and pick the first seat available. You notice there's a small, tan boy hunched over in the seat next to you. You notice almost all of the seats are filled, and no one volunteered to sit next to him. When you sit down, the boy looks over at you and his eyes seem to light up. He stares at you for a while before looking back down at the floor.

"Alright, class. Look at the person next to you because that is who will be your lab partner for the rest of the year," the teacher says. You look at Johnny and smile, and he shyly smiles back. "Now, I want you all to spend the next couple of minutes getting to know your partner." 

You and Johnny make small talk and you find out a bunch of things about him. After talking for a few minutes, you notice he seems more relaxed and comfortable, and he's even laughing.

"Class dismissed," the teacher says at the end of the period.

 You see Johnny rushing out of the classroom and say, "Hey, Johnny?" He turns around. "Do you wanna join me at lunch today?" 

He beams and says, "Yeah." You smile back and head to your next period.

His First Thought When He Saw You: "She's the one."

Dally: 

You and your friends decided to go to Buck's party. As soon as you arrive, you're ushered over to get a drink. Just as you're about to order, a tall guy with brown hair and pretty eyes says to you, "Hey there, beautiful." 

You're taken aback and manage to say, "Hi."

"Can I buy you a drink?" he asks with a wink. You nod, and he pays for your drink and hands it to you.

"Thank you so much," you tell him.

"Anytime, doll. Hey, you wanna come to my place after this?" he asks confidently. 

"Why not?" you say just as confidently. 

His First Thought When He Saw You: "Damn, she is SOO hot and sexy."

Pony:

 You were in the library, studying for an important test. You were having a really, really hard time because you didn't understand anything. 

Suddenly, you hear the doors swing open. In walks a blond-haired boy with big brown eyes and a slight grin on his face. You glance up, but immediately bury your head in your book. I have no time to waste, you tell yourself. I have to keep studying. 

Meanwhile, Pony is taken aback. He has never seen anyone as beautiful as you are. He runs over to a bookshelf and hides behind it so you can't see him staring at you. He watches you for a couple of minutes, pretending to look for a book, but finally, he decides to walk up to you. Just as he musters up the courage, he watches you gather your things in one swipe and walk out of the doors.

He's lost all confidence and helplessly watches you as you walk away from him.

When he goes home, he talks to Johnny privately about you. 

"Johnny, I saw her in the library and- I really want to shoot my shot with her," he says. 

"Alright, I'll find her for you," he says. 

His First Thought When He Saw You: "I- are you kidding me- how can anyone be that gorgeous?" 

Soda: 

You and your best friend were on a road trip when you decide to stop at a gas station for a snack. You get your things and go to pay. Behind the counter, you see a tall guy with brown hair and then... a jaw-dropping guy. He must be a model or something, you think to yourself. He's gorgeous.
