Narrator:
They both passed the project to their subject teacher, who had assigned it to them. The teacher gave them a nod of approval, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Afterward, Liam and Damian found themselves hanging out more often, their initial tension melting away. They discovered a shared love for old movies and video games, and their conversations flowed easily. Liam couldn't deny the growing warmth in his chest whenever he was around Damian. He was drawn to Damian's easy laughter, his kind eyes, and the way he always seemed to know what Liam was thinking.
AT CLASS
"Alright class, for those who finished the project early and pass it today will have additional points," the teacher announced, her voice echoing through the classroom.
Damian leaned over to Liam, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "It's a great thing we passed ours today and finished it on time, huh?"
Liam couldn't help but smile back. "Yeah." He felt a strange sense of satisfaction, knowing they had accomplished something together. He glanced at Damian, noticing the faintest hint of worry etched on his face.
"Are you okay? You look stressed," Damian asked, his voice soft.
Liam shrugged, trying to brush off his concern. "I'm fine, just tired."
Damian's eyes softened. "Wanna hang out later after school?" he asked, his voice hesitant.
Liam's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Damian to ask him to hang out. He felt a rush of excitement mixed with a touch of nervousness. "Sure, why not? Where though?"
Damian shrugged, a playful smile on his lips. "I don't know, you can choose."
Liam pondered for a moment. "What about the park?" he suggested, a hopeful smile on his face.
"Sounds great!" Damian replied, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
Liam felt a warmth spread through his chest. He couldn't wait to spend more time with Damian, to get to know him better, to maybe even confess his feelings.
