Devon POV junior year of high school...

Watching Jennifer change in the locker room when no one else is around is exciting. I've been crushing on her since middle school. She's not like other girls, but I don't care. I feel drawn to her and I get this butterfly eruption in my stomach when I catch her looking at me. We're both too shy to act on our feelings, but I'm working up the courage to ask her to spring fling.

We bump into each other as she rounds the corner from the showers and our eyes meet. I feel as my heart skips a beat and breaths catch in my throat. My eyes travel down her body and her towel fell open, revealing the beautiful creature she is. I close up her towel, tucking it tightly so it doesn't come undone.

I look up in her eyes and tears look ready to fall. She also looks scared that I'll say something about her. I kiss the corner of her mouth and slip my number in her hand. The fear in her eyes quickly fades and she smiles lightly. I smile lightly, collect my things and leave to give her the privacy she deserves.

I walked to my locker absentmindedly to switch out books before lunch. I must have zoned out because Jessica, my best friend slams my locker door closed. I jump out of my trance and look at her with lost eyes. "Jesus Devon, were you even listening to me," she asks in her bitchy attitude, the one the gets when she's not getting enough attention.

Jennifer walks by with her head down, sparing me a glance and small smile as she heads to the cafeteria. She's walked by me a hundred times and has never paid me any attention. My breaths hitch and hold her eye contact as she walks away. I'm broken away from the eye contact as Jessica waves her hand in my face.

"Seriously Devon, where do you keep going," Jessica asks with irritation.

"Not everything is about you, Jess," I say quietly and she scoffs, walking away.

I let out a sigh and head to lunch. Jessica was already sitting with the rest of my so-called friends and I glance at Jennifer sitting alone. I felt a tug on my heart seeing her all alone. I look at Jessica and she rolls her eyes. I shake my head and go sit with Jennifer. She looks up from her tater tots, surprised to see me. "Mind if I join you," I ask quietly and she quickly removes her books from the space across from her.

"Wh-what about J-Jessica," she stammers nervously.

I gingerly shake my head and pop a tater tot in my mouth. "She's jealous of others getting attention and not her. Besides, I'd rather sit with you," I say quietly with a light smile and she relaxes in front of me.

"You really mean that Devon," she asks with disbelief, tears in her eyes.

"I do Jen," I say with a smile and place my hand over her clenched hands. "I get this weird feeling around you and I don't want it to go away."

The tears in her eyes roll down her cheeks and I gingerly wipe them away. "Devon, I'm different than..."

"I don't care Jen," I say in a soothing whisper and she lets out a calming, relieved breath. "I've had the biggest crush on you since sixth grade."

"H-has anyone asked you to s-spring fling," she stammers nervously and I shake my head. She lets out a relieved breath and asks, "W-will you g-go with me?"

I smile as tears fill my eyes. "I was going to ask you the same thing," I choke with a smile.

Cold liquid is dumped on my head and Jennifer's eyes harden with anger. Before I can react to what just happened, Jennifer punches the person behind me. I turn to Jessica knocked on her ass with her lip bleeding. "You're going to regret that," Jessica says through gritted teeth and walks away.
