School on Monday is pointless. School, in general, is pointless. To be honest all I wanted to do was go home and go to bed. I walk into first period and sit in the back of the room. I put in my headphones ready to tune out the world for today.
The bell rang and the teacher got up to speak. "Alright everybody, we have a new student today. His name is Zach and he'll be with us for the rest of the year. Everyone, please make sure he feels welcome. There's a seat in the back row." I turn down my music as I see eyes on me from the front of the room.
I guess maybe I should pay more attention to class, but in my defense, it's already been a long day, and I need music to function. I discreetly pulled my earbud out, trying to figure out what was happening. A boy I've never seen before sits beside me.
"Hi, I'm Zach." He reaches his hand out which I accept. "Hey, I'm ____. Nice to meet you." He gives me a small smile. "You too."
**Time skip like 1 month**
I was in first period again, doing nothing, as usual. I was bored so I started drawing on myself with a black pen. "Can I see that?" I nodded. Zach and I have gotten fairly close over the past month. We were currently sharing earbuds and listening to some random playlist we made together.
He started drawing something on himself then turned to me and grabbed my hand. He asked if it was okay and when I nodded, he started drawing around my knuckles and wrists. I don't mind at all, it felt kind of nice. I'm just glad he didn't look at me after he started drawing because I was blushing hard.
**Time skip 1 week**
It was hot that day, so I decided to wear a skirt, which is a very rare occurrence by the way. I made it to class and started drawing on my thigh.
Zach picked up his pen too and started drawing as well. This was normal for us. It became a kind of daily ritual for us to listen to music and draw on ourselves. It was like we were in our own little world and it felt amazing.
After I finished drawing on my thigh I picked up the hand he wasn't using and drew a tiny heart on his ring finger.
After I finished with the heart I did actual school work. Zach stops doodling and makes a kind of hum sound. "What," I ask. He gives me the most heartstopping smile, "Nothing, my last name just looks really good on you."
I looked down confused and that's when I saw his last name written just below where my skirt landed. "Thanks for this by the way," he said as he pointed to the heart I drew earlier. I was about to respond when my teacher started talking.
I didn't get a chance to ask Zach about anything because as soon as the bell rang he left.
I tried to talk to him throughout the day but he always found an excuse to avoid me. I texted and called him but he never answered. Finally, I had enough. I didn't know his address. I didn't know where he would be. I just had to wait for school the next day.
*The Next Morning*
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little anxious about school today. I might be reading into all of this way too much. But how could I misinterpret that? 'My last name looks really good on you.' That could only be taken one way, right? I just need to talk to him. It's a catch-up day in 1st period anyway. I would have plenty of time to talk to him.
I walked into the classroom and was insanely relieved when I saw him sitting in his normal spot. I sat down in my chair and started speaking, "Hey stranger. Long time no talk." "Yeah, I'm sorry. I had to meet with my teacher after class and then when I got home my parents took my phone because I was failing Spanish. By the way, I wasn't even failing, I just missed the day we took a test. I explained that and she just gave me the phone this morning and I saw the texts and I am so sorry." He finally finished his speech.
I gave him a pensive look. "So, your last name looks good on me?" His cheeks instantly turned a light shade of pink and he set his forehead on the table. I pat his shoulder as I open my backpack. "It's okay I think so too." His head raised instantly. "You do?" I nod my head. "Huh, well I do have to say I rather enjoy the little heart you left me. A good place for it too."
Now it was my turn to become pink. He laughed a bit and said, "Can I take you somewhere tonight?" "I would love to go anywhere with you."
Might not be that good of an ending, but oh well.
