The next day at school, Vlad found himself thinking about Jasper more than usual. It was strange and unexpected, but there was something about Jasper that he couldn't get out of his mind. As he walked through the crowded hallways, Vlad's thoughts kept drifting back to their conversation from the previous day. He remembered how Jasper's eyes lit up when he talked about his favorite books and how his smile made Vlad feel warm inside.

During lunch, Vlad spotted Jasper sitting alone at a table, engrossed in a book. Vlad's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and walked over to join him. "Hey, Jasper," he said, trying to sound casual. "Mind if I sit with you?"

Jasper looked up and smiled, closing his book. "Of course not, Vlad. Have a seat."

As they ate, Vlad found himself drawn to Jasper's easygoing nature and the way he seemed genuinely interested in everything Vlad had to say. They talked about their classes, their hobbies, and their plans for the weekend. Vlad couldn't help but notice how comfortable he felt around Jasper, like he could be himself without any pretenses.

Throughout the day, Vlad's feelings for Jasper grew stronger. He found himself stealing glances at him during class, admiring the way he focused so intently on his work. Every time Jasper looked up and caught Vlad's eye, Vlad felt a flutter in his chest. It was a new and confusing sensation, but it was also exciting.

By the end of the day, Vlad knew he couldn't keep his feelings to himself any longer. As they walked home together, he gathered his courage. "Jasper, there's something I need to tell you," he began, his voice trembling slightly.

Jasper looked at him with concern. "What is it, Vlad?"

Vlad took a deep breath. "I think... I think I have a crush on you. I know it might sound sudden, but I can't stop thinking about you. You're amazing, and I really enjoy spending time with you."

Jasper's eyes widened in surprise, but then he smiled softly. "Vlad, I had no idea you felt that way. Honestly, I've been feeling something similar. I really like you too."

Relief washed over Vlad, and he couldn't help but grin. "Really?"

"Really," Jasper confirmed. "I'm glad you told me.

Vlad and Jasper spent the whole night texting, sharing everything from their favorite songs to their dreams for the future. The connection between them grew stronger with each message, and by the time the sun began to rise, they both felt like they had known each other forever.

The next day at school, they spent the whole day together. From the moment they met up in the morning until the final bell rang, they were inseparable. They walked to classes together, sat next to each other during lessons, and even teamed up for group projects. Their friends noticed the change, but Vlad and Jasper didn't mind the curious glances. They were too wrapped up in their own little world.

During lunch, they found a quiet spot under a tree in the school courtyard. They talked and laughed, sharing stories and making plans for the weekend. Vlad couldn't believe how easy it was to be around Jasper, how natural it felt to hold his hand and lean on his shoulder.

As the day came to an end, Vlad realized that he had never been this happy. He looked over at Jasper, who was smiling back at him, and knew that this was just the beginning of something truly special.
