Lost Angels

Heartache

Throwback part 1/2

Lets go back a few years ago.
6 years to be exact.

In high school there are different types of students.
You have the Nerds, the Artists, the Hipsters, the Geeks and many others.
But the Athletes were the most popular kids in school.

Your whole life changes when you become a part of them.

And your soul too...

It was at the beginning of my junior year, we were 16 years old.
Adam and I were in the same class and were paired up for an assignment.

He was the boy at the back of the class.
Always quiet, almost intimidating.
He wore glasses at the time, which I thought, made him look really sexy with his black, straight hair, falling in front of his eyes.

More handsome than an idol !

We didn't click right away. We were too shy to even have a real conversation.

At first, we met in the school library to study.
But one night, after our usual brainstorming session, we realized that we were headed in the same direction and even lived in the same neighborhood.

Adam suggested that we study at his place, since his parents often got home late, and I quickly agreed.

That's how our story began.

Two socially awkward teenagers, who worked together every day, for 3 weeks, and got to know each other better.

We realized that we liked the same things, and that brought us much closer.
There were days when we didn't even open a book, just spent time together listening to music, playing video games, watching movies or just chatting about anything and everything.

Even after we finished our assignment, we still met every day after school.

We were in our own little bubble.

The more time we spent together, the more my feelings grew and eventually  he made the first move.

Our first kiss was in his room.
We were playing a video game as usual and I lost to him. I was really upset.

Adam: " If you stop sulking, I'll give you something "

Madeline: " Ok ! Then it better be good then ! " I pout, arms cross.

Adam: " I don't know, I've never given it to anyone else before " He blushes.

M: " Oh ! I feel really special " I smile.

Adam: " You are "

My face turns red at this confession.

Adam: " Ok, close your eyes "

Sitting on his bed, facing each other, I closed my eyes as he asked.

Adam: " Don't move..."

I feel him come closer and place his soft and warm lips on mine.

I opens my eyes in surprise and he stops .
Seeing my reaction, he starts to panic.

Adam: " I'm sorry ! I should have asked you first ! "

I watch him to get more and more nervous and embarrassed , but the only thing I could hear was my heart pounding like it was going to burst out of my chest.

M: " Adam..."

Adam: " I don't know what came over me ! I am a freak ! "

He tries to get up but I grab his shirt and pull him to me.
