We leave my room and I lock it up before grabbing Joe's hand and leading us out of the dormitory area and into the courtyard so we can get to class in time. We stay silent for a bit but finally, he breaks the silence.
"So how about we ask each other so easy questions to get to know each other more?"
"I like that idea, do you want to go first?" I ask looking ahead as we continue walking
"Yeah, What's your favorite color?" He ask
"I love lavender and gray, how about you?"
"Ahh that explains the purple color all over your room and the smell you carry. I like red and black." He says
"Haha yeah I love the scent and color and the flowers because it's all beautiful to me. I think red is a good color and black is nice." I say smiling
"Well now that I've seen and smelled it I can tell you that I agree. Next question is when is your birthday?" He says with a smile that I catch from the corner of my eye
"March 28th, How about you?"
"November 25th" He says and I mentally save that date in my head, engraving it into my soul.
"Nice, do you get less presents because its close to Christmas?"
"No thankfully but I do hate that I am stuck between two big holidays since most people are busy during then and as a kid I never had parties because of that." he says
"That sucks but I get it, my birthday is always near spring break so I never really had parties either" I say stopping in the middle of the courtyard. He stops to and I wrap my arms around him because I feel like we both need a hug. It takes him a second before he's lifting me up in his arms for an even tighter hold.
"I'm sorry we both had a unfair childhood birthdays" I say as he sets me down slowly
"It's okay, we will make better ones together, thanks for the hug, I loved it Lil" he says smiling before grabbing my hand and pulling us towards the classroom again.
"Yes we will, and anytime" I say smiling
We reach the classroom and it's packed like yesterday but there is a table in the far back corner with two open seats. So I pull him towards them. Once we reach the table I sit down and take out my computer and notebook, he does the same. We made it just in time because the teacher is already discussing the homework we are supposed to turn in this week, which is the assignment we did yesterday. It's crazy to think that just yesterday I was alone and now I have this amazing boy who's a friend. I really hope I never wake up because if I do I don't think my heart could handle it. I've been broken before but after being alone for so long I want to have someone, I just hope he stays, even after I let him see my dark side.
