It was a Monday.

I was at school in maths. It was 1st period.

Big Paul walked in and sat down next to me. We greeted each other. The teacher held a briefcase in 1 hand and a thermo in the other. Most students stopped talking.

He looked tired.

He put the thermo and briefcase on the table, pulled out his office chair, and sat down. He yawned, grabbed the thermo, and drank from it, then put it back down on the desk.

"Class, please be quiet. I know you don't want to be here right now and would much rather be in your bed sleeping, but it's a school day. Today, we will be learning calculus, " the teacher said tiredly.

I don't think he got too much sleep.

I unzipped my bag and grabbed my pencil case and notebook, which I put on the desk. I also unzipped my pencil case and grabbed a pencil and eraser. I opened my notebook to an empty page.

It was an hour later.

The bell rang.

I had English.

Everyone flooded out of the classroom while talking.

Big Paul and I were 1 of the last ones to leave.

"What do you have?" He asked.

"English. You?" I asked.

"Art." He said.

We both said goodbye and walked our separate ways. I felt someone gently tapping on my shoulder. I stopped walking and turned around to see Beth's beautiful face.

She was smiling.

We greeted each other and then embraced. I let go and kissed her. I put my hands on her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"What do you have?" She asked, smiling.

"English." You?" I asked, smiling.

"Same. Do you mind that I walk you?" She asked, smiling.

"No, not at all," I replied, smiling.

We started walking. She entwined her soft, warm fingers with mine, and my smile widened.

Some people gave us disgusted looks.

I got offended but tried to ignore it.

"Your hands are so soft and warm. I love it." I said, smiling.

"Good. All morning, I had my hands in my pockets so that they'd be warm for my queen." She replied in a sweet tone.

"You're so sweet," I said, smiling.

"After school, do you want to go to a small cafe?" She asked.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" I asked, smiling.

"Yes. That's if you don't mind." She said.

"Yes, I'd love to," I said, smiling.

"Should we tell the gang today that we're dating?" Beth asked.

"Sure, why not," I replied, smiling.

It was a minute later.

We arrived.

I let go of her hand and opened the door for her, and she thanked me. She walked in 1st, and I followed her.

There were about 3 students in here.

1 was on his phone, and the other 2 were talking silently.

The teacher was already sitting in his office chair, so we sat down at the back.

More and more students came in and sat down.

"Today, class, we'll be watching a movie."

Everyone cheered.

The teacher put on Super Mario Bros Movie.

Beth moved her chair closer to mine and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. I put my hands on her chest, head on her shoulder, and legs on her lap. She held my hand and kissed my head.

I felt warm and safe.

It was an hour later.

It was recess.

Beth and I were walking to the cafeteria hand in hand.

It was a minute later.

We arrived.

We walked inside and up to our table.

The gang was already there.

"Everyone, we have something that we'd like to announce," I said, smiling.

"Mary and I are dating," Beth said, smiling.

"Wow, that's fantastic!" John said, smiling.

"I'm happy for you," Mack said, smiling.

"I'm glad that you 2 are finally dating." Big Paul said smiling. 

Leah said nothing but smiled.

It was 4 hours later.

It was after school.

Beth and I were driving towards the cafe.

It was 10 minutes later.

We arrived.

Beth parked the car in an empty parking spot, and we hopped out. We walked inside the cafe.

There were some people in here.

Some were on their laptops, and some were murmuring. 

We walked up to the counter.

"Hi, what can I get you, 2? " the employee asked in a friendly tone, smiling.

"I'd like an iced coffee, please," I said.

"And I'd like a mocha, please," Beth said.

"That'll be $4." He said.

"Do you want me to pay?" I asked.

"If you don't mind." She replied, smiling.

"No, not at all," I replied.

I grabbed my pocket from my back pocket and paid him.

"What's your name?" He asked.

We told him our names.

We stood to the side and waited. The employee started making our drinks.

It was a couple of minutes later.

He called our names. We grabbed our cups.

"Do you want to drink it in here?" Beth asked.

I nodded. We sat down at an empty table and started drinking.
