RANDOM ONESHOTS

Important

We sat together in class, listening to our biology teacher drone on. Our chairs were pushed as close as the desks would let them be, hands secretly interlocked under the desk in the back row.

"Now with the packet I just handed out," Mr. Brownlow explains, pointing to his own copy in his calloused hands. "I want you to read through it with a partner and highlight everything you think is important. We'll reconvein and dicuss at the end of class alright."

The class immediately started chatting, grouping together with a nearby friend. I turn to the brunette sitting next to me whose hands are already digging through her pencil case.

"Wait so were just reading it? No questions or homework? This feels like a trap," I say, flipping through the pages of the document.

"Hey I'm not complaining," Fiona replies, shrugging her shoulders. Her dark brown almost black hair shifts around them as she offers me a highlighter, already knowing I had forgotten my own.

"Everything important," I mutter, scanning the first page as I pop the markers cap off.

"Mmhmm," Fiona confirms, already busy highlighting.

I grin as an idea sprouts in my thick head. I lean over to her, highlighter outstretched. She looks at me confused as I swipe the highlighter across the back of her hand.

"Icarus! What are you doing?" she asks, a confused smile on her lips.

"He said to highlight everything important," I reply, a stupid smile on my face as I beamed at my silly idea.

She just looks at me and smiles. And then starts laughing, swiping her own highlighter across my hand.

She pushes my blonde curls out of my eyes and puts her hand on my cheek, stroking it with her thumb. "Gosh, what am I ever gonna do with you?" she asks playfully.

I look into her hazel eyes just smiling brightly. "I don't know. Maybe you'll just have to kiss me," I reply coyly, winking at her.

She rolls her eyes playfully, pushing me away gently as she looks back down at her paper. "You're such a dork. Come on let's get to work."
