Sparklez PoV!!




Waves of anxiety washed over me as I hurried away from Ant's dorm. God- what the fuck was I thinking?! We had barely known each other a day-! I don't even know if Ant likes me or not! My heart feels like it's about to explode, it's beating so fast. I was running through the halls at this point, slipping around corners, nearly slamming into walls in a hurry to get back to my room.


I whipped open my door and closed it behind me. I put my head in my hands and slid down to the floor. My thoughts ran wild, a mixture of anxiety, emotions and embarrassment. What if he asks about the k- no. It wasn't a k- my breath hitches at the word. It wasn't, we didn't. My eyes glance over to where Ant was sitting, and I crack a small grin. The empty, dented can of Monster lied next to it. I crawled over to the can and popped off the green tab. I sat the can itself on a shelf, and slid the tab on the desk next to my bed.




I woke up hazily, body clock telling me it was time for classes. I remembered I hadn't done any of my homework, as I looked at the stack of papers on my bag. I grinned when I saw the Monster can on the shelf. I rubbed my face, trying to get the stupid grin out of my system. God, I was acting like a friggin' giddy school girl. I got in the shower, put on clothes, and tried to get the "The cool, suave, extrovert" act on. I scrambled to write answers down on the homework, and eat at the same time.


I swayed out the door, smiling to myself. I probably have time to take a walk before classes start. I strode down the hallways, and left the dorm building. It was kinda foggy, and the early morning haze that covered my mind like fog seemed to fade away. The pale sky was peaceful, and lonely. I had always preferred this kind of weather. Rain, clouds, that kind of stuff.


I kept walking, observing the scenery and thought about how the weather would make a cool boss battle setting. I turned toward the door of the recreation building, hearing a gentle piano melody, and I walked towards the sound. The hallways were empty, and the only noise was the shuffling of my shoes and the piano, which was gradually getting louder as I walked. I peeked my head into the room to see who was playing, but the piano blocked their face. I sat outside the door, humming the melody to myself. It was dreamy and calming. The song itself was incredibly composed, and you could feel the emotion in the notes. The emotion wasn't precise, but I understood.


It was longing, maybe love.


The song had ended. I heard a sigh come from the piano room, the start of a new song- and the bell rang sharply. I glanced at my watch before sitting up and running through the halls to class. I ran from the recreational building to the first year building, bursting through the doors and down the hallway and I slid into the door. I sat on my desk and greeted the people who were swarming me.


Ant shuffled into the door, hair a bit messy, and panting slightly, as if he were running. I smiled and waved to Ant, his face flushed when his eyes met mine, and he looked away and slid into the seat next to me.


The teacher walked in, said something about testing, and homework. The rest of the period was a blur, the only thing on my mind was Ant's soft voice, his words from last night, and the melody of the piano. My head rested on the desk, and I covered my face to try and hide the crappy school-girl like grin that had returned to my features. I managed to shake it off, but I had to bite my lip often to keep it from coming back.


"Dude, you have practically nothing written down! Did you even try to take notes at all?" Ant scolded me, and I smiled guiltily. I shook my head no, and Ant sighed. "Here, copy off of mine."


Ant slid me his notes page, and I nearly snorted in laughter. Ant has really girly handwriting. It was neat and almost cursive like, in contrast to my messy, all-capitals writing.


"Nice handwriting, Taylor. I'm surprised there aren't hearts dotted over the 'i's." I chuckled and Ant scoffed defensively.


"Do you want the help or not?" Ant mumbled, sliding his notebook towards himself when I had finished copying everything down.


The shrill bell rung, and students started towards the door. I grabbed my stuff and waited for Ant, and we left the room together.
