Art was one of my favorite subjects in life; I was always doodling something in my free time while listening to music. "Students welcome to your first class of the year. I'm glad to see you all made it here, just take a seat where you like." Mr.Wong told us. I was the only one sitting and noticed that just now. I felt so embarrassed but stayed put while everyone took their seats. On one side sat a girl about five feet tall with shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes. I instantly recognized her as none other than Taylor Allie, a girl that was in my class last year but I never really got to her because she was always talking to Russell or some other dude that just happened to like her. On my left sat this guy I didn't know but his golden blonde hair and green eyes made him look cute as hell. "Hello John, how are you today?" I turned my head to see my friend Russell.
"I'm better now," I said with a foolish grin on my face.
My grin must've been contagious because a grin spread across his face when he said, "So how was your summer, bud? I missed you."
"It was fine, I mean I spent the summer with my cousin, Sarah, and you know how she is always, falling down the stairs, running into walls, tripping over things over half her size while looking at it. And I missed you too. How was yours?" I finally finished.
"Mine was OK; I went bike riding lots and swam too. I met a girl named Melanie and we are now dating. She is amazing and right over there." He pointed to a black haired girl with her hair in a pony tail and she turned around and waved at Russell and I saw her brilliant bright blue eyes; they were so captivating.
Mr.Wong announced, "Your first project for this class is to draw a name and a design for it." This assignment is already done, I do it everyday. I thought and smiled. I turned my head and just stared at the perfection sitting directly to my left. I just stared at him until class ended and when it was almost time to go I was shaken out of my trance by Taylor. I turned around "Umm... can I help you?"
"Yeah, you have been staring at that boy, Devin, for the whole class... why?"
"Because I recognized him from somewhere and tried to put it all together," I lied with ease.
"Sure that's it," she sarcastically replied and leaned in close and sneered, "I know your secret, and don't deny it. I saw the way you looked at Russell last year and now how you look at him." She pointed to Devin.
"What?!" Devin said as he was listening to our conversation. "What about me?"
"Nothing Se-Devin, We were talking about some other kid named Devin we know!" I said quickly and kicked Taylor to keep her mouth shut.
"Oh... OK," he sighed and his smexy face had sad on it, and that killed me on the inside. I plan on talking to him on the way to our lockers. Finally the bell rang and it was time for Pre-Algebra. I left the room and headed to my locker. I arrived only to find my locker is right next to Devin's locker. How could I NOT see a HOT boy like him?!?! I thought "Hey Devin," My heart pounded so hard after that sentence I think I had a heart attack.
"Hey, what is your next class?" he asked.
" Pre-Algebra with Mrs.Matthias," I said cooly though I was just about out of mind.
"Sweet dude, so do I!" Devin exclaimed "By the way I never did catch your name"
"John or call me Bunny," I said almost whispering.
"From now on you are my bunny!" Devin yelled making everyone look at him; he turned red and I laughed so hard. We grabbed our binders from our lockers and went up the stairs to our math class. We got there late but we were OK since it was the first day of school. "Welcome to 7th Grade Pre-Algebra. This is an advanced class but it wont be anything like your math in years before where they might have sent you to the hall to work on it. This year everyone is advanced so we will all stay together," Mrs.Quandt gave her opening speech for the year. "Take a seat where ever you like."
"Bunny, Come sit over here next to me," Devin said. He took my hand and led me over to a group of desks in the room and sat me down in one chair and he took a seat right next to me. Over the period we talked, held hands, and intertwined our legs together. By the end of the period I knew that Devin was gay and that he liked me. I was SO excited; this was the best moment in my entire life! We talked on the way to our lockers about ourselves since we don't really know that much about each other. "So what is your next class, Bunny?" He asked putting bunny in such a flirtatious way.
"Social Studies with Mr.Schaeuble," I replied blushing madly. Devin saw this and just smirked and that made me almost want to just grab him and NEVER let go of him.
"I also have Social Studies next. Can I just set my Math binder and book in your locker, so it is easier and faster for us to get to class? We can keep our Art material in my locker for the same reason. Sound good?" Devin asked.
"Yeah sure," I said excited that I could have some of his stuff in my locker. Then we continued our conversation while we grabbed our stuff and headed upstairs again. We arrived not 3 seconds before the bell rang. "Stand in the back of the room while I grab the seating chart," Mr.Schaeuble said.
"I bet you anything we will sit next to each other again," Devin whispered to me with the goofiest grin on his face.
Mr.Schaeuble began naming kids and where they sat. I didn't pay any attention to him because Devin was standing really close to me and had his arm around me and when I recognized it my stomach did flips. "... John, then Devin you guys will sit here OK?" Mr.Schaeuble asked.
"Gotcha!" Devin and I said looking at each other and beamed. We took our seats quickly and then class began. It was only introducing the units we would learn, so Devin and I paid no attention to him since would could just ask someone else after class. "Doing something fun really does make time go faster!" Devin said. Did he just say that?!?! HE DOES LIKE ME!!! I thought. I felt as if I was about to explode of happiness. The bell rang and Devin grabbed my arm and we ran down the hall and stairs to our lockers. We quickly opened our lockers and he stuffed his Social Studies things in my locker. "Where do you head next?" He looked at me with curiosity.
"I'm headed to Chorus right now. Where might you be going?" I questioned him.
"I'm headed to band, but we can still walk together since they are right next to each other," He shyly smiled making me laugh,
"Of course we can!" I hugged him and he hugged me back. We walked down to the rooms in complete silence; I didn't know why until we reached the band room. "OK i'll see you at lunch since we have the same lunch." Devin said looking at the ground.
"Yeah," I said quietly not wanting to leave him. When I turned to go to Chorus I was spun around by Devin. He leaned in and pecked me on the lips.
