"Maybe in twenty five years you'll come back to this school for a class reunion and realize that 'hey these kids aren't so bad." Professor Gilman continues. "I actually went to an all boys private school where, that was the case. But anyway, I probably won't get to see your twenty five year high school reunion because I'll be-" he pauses dramatically and stands still. His pointer moves suddenly and directs its focus at Hiro. My long time friend and... crush. I could never tell him though.

Hiro answers from beside me in a small voice. "Um, retired?"

"That's right. Re-tired." The professor breaks the syllables up as if this is a new word to a room full of young geniuses. Hiro and I look at each other with confusion. Looking back to the front of the class, I see a girl two rows ahead staring at me. She quickly repositions.

I have no idea how we even got on this topic, but I know he started out talking about the Louisiana Purchase. Our professor does this a lot. And I mean A LOT. He gets himself off topic then starts to ramble on about whatever his brain thinks of first. It's as if he has no filter. He'll just say whatever thought or opinion pops into his head, even if it's odd or embarrassing.

All of us have learned by now to only half listen to him in case we get called on, that the information we actually need is in his slide show.

He continues to babble, Hiro and I glance at each other a few times when he says something odd. Every once and awhile I see someone looking at me or Hiro. I can't tell. Almost an hour passes when-

"Just like (y/n) and Hiro." What? "I think, you know, it's obvious at this point that (y/n) and Hiro like each other." My eyes go wide and everyone mutters in agreement. Almost no one ever talks in this room except for Professor Gilman. Everyone speaking at once surprises and confuses me. From all around I hear:

"Yes."

"Oh definitely."

"How do they not know?"

"They should just kiss already."

What do I do? Do I look at Hiro? No I can't do that. My face is probably a newly discovered shade of red. Proven to be the most embarrassing of all reds.

Once the agreements stop, Professor Gilman waits a moment. "Well, we have about five minutes until class ends. You can just talk amongst yourselves." Why?

My face will probably look this embarrassed permanently. I pick my head up to look at Hiro, but to my surprise, he looks as embarrassed as I probably do.

"Hey." He smiles shyly.

"Hi." I smile back. That's about when we realized the whole class was looking at us. Simultaneously, they all start fake conversations. I laugh.

"Was I that obviously?" I ask him.

"Well I didn't know. I probably would've told you that I- you know, if I did." He lets out a cute awkward laugh.

"Me too." I tell him. "How long did you know you liked me?"

Hiro concentrates. "Eight months, I think."

"Six months." I reply with a smile. Suddenly we burst in laughter.

"Wow for a couple of geniuses, neither of us is ready to be Sherlock Holmes."

"If anyone is going to be Sherlock it's me." Hiro teases.

"Oh please!" I roll my eyes "Eight months Hiro? Were you ever going to tell me?"

"Yeah.... Around month four." We laugh again. "Well, (y/n), what about you?"

"Oh I was never going to tell you." I answer with certainty.

"Never? Really?"

"Uh huh."

"Coward."

"Ouch. Don't forget you are too Mr Hamada." I say while I mess with his hair.

Once again we realize that the whole room is paying attention to us. The moments of silence are broken when a a voice from the back of the room yells.

"Oh just kiss!"

I look at Hiro, a smirk on his face. He holds my head in his hands, bringing me closer to him, and kisses me gently. Loud clapping and cheering erupts from the room. Hiro holds my hand as we walk through the hallways, getting us an occasional "congratulations." Apparently most of the school already knew. Oops.
