Up on that rooftop

Epic reveal

"Oh dear, she's falling hard." Someone whispered behind me.

"Yeah, I've seen her smile more than ever, it's almost weird." Another voice said.

"I can't believe that it's finally happening. I'm so proud." The first voice.

Annoyed I turned around. "I can hear you." I told the two friends I had. Evelin and Amber looked at me slightly alarmed, before they started laughing.

"What?" I asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, you just have that distant look on your face." Amber tried to stop laughing as well as she could. The teacher was falling asleep on his chair, so nobody bothered to be quite while we worked on homework.

"Distant look?" I asked confused. I wasn't distant, I was here. Maybe I thought of last night a few times, but—

"There!" Evelin pointed at my face, "The distant look..." She grinned as she dramatically said, "Of Love!!"
Amber couldn't hold in her laughed as they both broke down giggling.

"Haha." I rolled my eyes before turning back to my book.
No way was I falling on love. Blue was—I felt my stomach flip over at the thought of him.

Dropping my head on the tabble loudly I had my two friends look at me in alarm.
Before they voiced their concerns I grumbled, "I've got a fucking Crush on someone— I don't even know his name!"

Again laughter sounded behind me as I clenched my head, this wasn't good. If I really had a crush... I'd had to deal with it...

Fortunately school ended and after getting home, I went up to the rooftop. In my excitement I forgot all about what happened at school and opened the door.

"Blue! You're early." I ran up to him. Smiling I put down my school bag and sat on the small wall next to where Blue stood.

"Careful." Blue went to grab my waist, "I don't want you to fall."

"I won't." I said convinced, but Blue didn't let go. His eyes looked into mine and for a moment time seemed to freeze.
Suddenly I cleared my throat and pulled his hands off of me. "Sorry." I got up from where I sat and leaned against the wall instead. My thoughts went wild about what just happened. What did just happen?

"I— I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Blue apologised awkwardly as he took a step back.

"No worries." I sighed, "I'm just awkward." I sat down on the floor of the rooftop instead.
"How about we play a game instead of being awkward?" I asked while secretly getting amused.

"Sure, but if I win you'll have to buy me a soda." Blue seemed to smile at the opportunity as his mask moved upwards slightly.

"Only if, when I win, you show me what's behind your mask." I smiled, my amusement finally showing.

Blue sat down next to me, he seemed to have an internal battle as a silence followed, "Alright." He nodded, "But first, what game?"

"Tic tac toe." I grinned. There was no way I was going to lose this.

"You only get to see my face after ten wins." Blue said, "And if I win five times you buy me that soda— no two sodas."

I nodded, "Deal!"

It was settled. We sat across each other with a pen in hand each. In my English notebook I drew the first game.
"I wish you luck." I said darkly, "You're going to need it."

Blue looked at me as if he was actually getting scared, "I am?"

A smile appeared, but I didn't reply as I put down a cross in the right corner closest to me.
Blue put a circle in the one above it.
I put a cross in the other corner closest to me.
Blue smiled and put a circle in between the two crosses.
With my pen I made a cross in the middle.
A bewildered look entered Blue's face. "Huh?"
