My crushes nickname is Yellow.
As I circle the last word on the crossword puzzle, Yellow walks in. He looks at the crossword puzzle on his desk and sits down right next to me. "Can you just fill this in for me?" He says. "Sure!" I say happy that he needs me for something.
I circle all the words and give him his paper back. Then, I realize I forgot a word. I sneak my arm under his which is resting on the desk. "What are you doing?" "I forgot a word." I say and circle the word. I keep my arm there and hook it with his. He doesn't pull away.
I'm so happy I just look down at my paper. The door opens and he pushes my arm away. My heart breaks. He's embarrassed to be seen with me...I think sadly. I take out my book and start reading to distract myself.
It doesn't work because I'm still thinking about him and sneaking glances at him. I accidentally get a paper cut. "Ow!" I say looking down at my left pointer finger. Yellow looks at me and grabs my right hand and squeezes it. I look at him and say, "sorry, I overreacted..." "It's fine." he says with a small smile, still holding my hand.
