"Oh.. I'm sorry," I bumped into someone on the soccer field, and I tripped and fell with my hands also falling to the ground, "I couldn't see where I was going.."

The person didn't say a word, and they helped me up while putting their hand out to me and picking me up.

"Oh, thank-" I stopped and I looked at their face, "Robert?"

"..How do you know my name?" Robert said in a confusing, but calm tone.

When I was right in front of him, I didn't notice how much my feelings poured out. I just liked Robert since 7th grade, and my heart hurt every time I looked at him from Afar...He's perfect up close..

"I like you so much..." I blankly stare into Roberts face, as I quickly realized what I said, "Wait! Ignore that..I'm sorry.." I shake my head fast as I look down, feeling more embarrassed than I bumped into him.

"....Then let's go out." Robert calmly responded.

---------------------------------------------------
"You don't have to be that nervous," Robert looked down on me, who was twiddling my fingers quickly, "You're making me uncomfortable with whatever you are doing with your hands."

"Oh." I quickly separated my hands and looked away, "I'm sorry."

"It's fine." Robert looked back up forward, "So you play soccer, huh?"

"Well, yeah." I awkwardly smiled while still looking away, "Well I didn't do anything my freshman year so I might as well do something my sophomore year."

"Oh." Robert responded with no emotion

Why is he so forward? It's like he don't express anything well...

"So uh.." I tried to start off talking again, "Why were you at the soccer field anyways?"

"Well.." Robert coughed awkwardly, "I uh- was just watching the girls practice. That's all. I think soccer is interesting."

Oh? Just to watch us play? That's weird. Who would've known he'd just be there for fun..

"Don't you play any sports?" I responded quickly

"Basketball." He said bluntly, "but I joined the boys' team of soccer and our practice isn't today."

"Woah." I smiled, "You joined two sports?"

"Yeah." Robert said with confidence but with no expression.

We walk up to the Athletic shop and Robert opened the door for me, as I awkwardly walked in while looking around.

"Do you see anything you like?" Robert said as he walked behind me while looking around also.

"Honestly.. no-" suddenly my eyes widened with excitement. "Wait! I want that shirt!"

"What?" Robert looked in the direction I was looking at, "The Chicago Bulls?"

"They are my favorite basketball team." I smiled brightly

"What a coincidence." Robert smirked as he picked up the shirt, "It'a mine too."

Really?! Do we actually have something in common?! This is a dream come true!

"Be right back, I'll go pay for this.." Robert picked up a matching shirt. "And this too."

"Oh- Okay.." I blushed as he handed me his jacket in my arms. He walked away and went up to the counter, which had a short line.
