"How's the view down there little man?" There he was, making fun of me for the third time this week; it's tuesday for fuck's sake. Nicholas thought to himself as he rolled his eyes. It was funny the first time: he had to admit, but repeating the same joke gets downright boring after half a year. "Fuck off, Gaspar." He retaliated, uncaring of the teachers nearby. Gaspar nudged his hair as they passed each other down the hall. Nick didn't even try to retaliate that time; he simply couldn't reach. 

"Hey Paul, can you go check if Nick is alright? No one drinks water for too long."

"Why me? Couldn't you have chosen someone else? I have an assignment due in-"

"Sure, Ms. Pitt." 

"Damn, Diya...Taking the initiative?" 

"I'm just...concerned for his safety..." 

He's probably in the boy's locker room again... Diya thought to herself: Nick has been skipping classes in the lockers more often over the past 6 months. 

"Nick? Are you in there?" 

"It's a boy's locker room." 

"I just want to talk." 

"That's not a good excuse..." 

"Can I come in?" 

"Just go away..." 

"Nick please, you weren't like this last year..." 

"Well I changed...Or I didn't." 

"What's wrong?" 

"Can't you see?" 

"No?" 

"What am I?" 

"Nicholas?" 

"No, what I'm remembered for." 

"...The short kid?..." 

"Exactly, and I still am. Everyone else is massive and I'm still 5"1. Like even Coco is taller than me now, I don't even understand how do they do it? Am I doing something wrong? Or am I just wrong like this?" 

"Nick don't say that to yourself, you're perfect." 

"Yeah, to my mother-" 

"And me." 

The last words, despite silent and weak, ran thoughts and emotions through Nick's head: This can't be real. Me and Diya? It's a pleasant thought...No it's not. 

"You..?" 

"Yes, I wanted to say this for a while now: I think I'm in love with you." 

"I..."  It all made sense now: The gifts she randomly gave, the hearts on the Christmas cards, the running away on Valentine's: Signs. Signs Nick never picked up. How could he have been so stupid?

... 

"Was it salty?" 

"Yeah..." 

"What were you expecting? Kissing my tears? Of course they're salty, you idiot." 

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to-" 

"It's okay, I was just surprised." 

"Want me to catch you by surprise again?" 

"Sure." 

"Will you go out with me on Friday?" 

No. Say no Nicholas. This is too big of an commitmen- 

"Yes."
