hayes

My heart fluttered and my stomach churned when her soft lips met my cheek. I was at first shocked, but then I felt flattered and happy. This girl was something different. She wasn't like the others who's faces were caked with makeup, and body parts fell out of their clothes. She was simple. A good kind of simple.

I felt proud of myself for doing what i just did. His skin was soft, and it tasted like honey. My infatuation with this boy grew bigger by the second. Every movement he made was so hypnotizing and i was quickly falling into a spell. (AN: ik ik v cheezy but it is sounded good so bai h8erz) The bell finally rung and I fast walked to my next period and it happened to be without Hayes, so i put no attention and care into that class. My last period before break, was without Hayes as well, so I could have honestly cared less.

When the bell rung for break, i walked over to my friends table, and as i was walking, i noticed Hayes, sitting at a table. Alone. I walked over to Hayes, and left my friends to themselves.

"Hi." I said while i sat down.

"Hi." He replied quickly, holding a small smile. We sat there a few minutes quite awkwardly before i brought up our project.

"So, do you wanna come over today to work on our project?" I asked

"Sure."

"Okay. My brother will pick us up after school." I said excitedly. From then on we just spoke about the project and we would do. We decided to just make a volcano out of paper mache and make a chemical reaction, and explode it on presentation day.

The bell rung and we walked to our next period which happened to be together. When I walked past my friends they gave me strange looks and thumbs up, knowing that I liked Hayes. We walked in silence into the classroom.

There was an awkward silence between us as we waited for the teacher to come in. I felt the need to break the sudden silence but i had no idea how. I looked over at him briefly and noticed he was sitting in his seat with the same expression beaming of of the way he sat. I began to doze off as the awkward silence, turned into peaceful silence.

I hoped and prayed that our friendship would grow, and that he would open up to me. I didn't expect him to tell me everything at once, but i hoped he would tell me something. Something about why he seems so broken. Why he is like he is, and i wondered if he was once, happy too.

Yah sorry i haven't updated in a while I've been busy with dance and school but yah. I know this feels like its going pretty slow but the next chapter things are gonna start getting good so don't miss out! The next chapter will be up soon so yayy! Bai
