Chapter 10

Of course the bell rang. I should have kept track of the time, fuck. I guess I'll ask her tomorrow. I start to walk to my next class and she's headed the same way.... No. She can't be in my class. We have assigned seats as well. What if she has to sit next to me? Shit. Well, I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best. I kinda hope she has to sit next to me not gonna lie. I'll just talk to her like I just want to be her friend. How hard could it be, right? Just start with hello and go from there.

"S-Sorry I didn't catch your name at lunch" I stuttered

Great start, Maddie.

"Oh, sorry, my name is Belle." She said beautifully. I don't know how, but her words just rolled off her tongue so naturally.

Her name fitted her well. She looked like a princess. And like Belle, at that. Long brown hair, brown eyes, fair complexion.

I immediately thought of Beauty and the Beast when she said her name because who wouldn't, to be honest.

She was definitely a beauty.

I forgot she was talking to me and I realized that I had been staring at her for the past few seconds. Great.

"Um you okay?

"Oh yeah sorry... I was uh thinking of uh.... You know what... Nevermind... Sorry"

NICE GOING, MADDIE

"Oh um okay"

She looked so confused. I really messed up this time.

"I really like your name by the way"

"Why thank you, Maddie.....?"

I gave her a reassuring nod.

The way she said my name made my heart beat faster. I think she noticed I was struggling.....

"So what's your favorite color? I'm not good at starting conversations haha"

"Oh uh it's actually purple, despite all the black I wear.... Even though it's the first day you've seen me"

I should've stopped talking after I said purple. Ugh.

"Oh wow that's mine too, actually."

WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON AHHHHHHHH KEEP CALM, MADDIE

"Oh that's cool haha" Just act casual.....
"Yeah haha.... What's your favorite band?"

Oh god there are so many.... What do I say?

"Oh um I like a lot of different bands"

"Oh nice. I like Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, 5sos, My Chemical Romance, TØP, and Melanie Martinez"

She likes all the people I like omgomgomg

"I love all of those people oh my god"

"Wow we have a lot of things in common"

"Yeah.... Weird"

What question would she ask me next?

"We probably have everything in common..... Except for one thing"

What was the "one thing"?

"What would that be?"

"Well.... Um... This is hard for me to say because I just met you...."

Omg if she says she's gay or some shit I will scream......

"Well.... I'm um.... Uh.... Bisexual...."

I AM TOO OMFG I'M INTERNALLY SCREAMING

"Oh... Then I guess we have everything in common"

"Really?"

"Yep.... Actually, my friend likes you... I forgot to bring that up... Oops"

"Oh... Um... What are they like?"

I totally forgot about Jeremy.... Oops...

"He's really sweet and kind and caring"

"That's sweet.... But, I like someone actually" She seemed so guilty saying that.

I didn't feel bad when I told Jeremy.

Since Belle and I are pretty good friends now and since the bell(e) was about to ring, I decided to ask for her phone number.... But, not the normal way.....

"Hey I lost my phone number. Can I have yours?" I was proud of that pick-up line.

"Wow... I can't deny that, now can I?

"I mean you can, but I'd rather you not do that haha"

"Give me your hand"

She wrote it on my hand with a heart next to it..... WHAT.

"I uh... Thanks haha..."

"Sorry for the heart, I do that all the time"

"It's cool"

She was obviously lying. She had that I-like-you-but-I-don't-want-to-show-it face. She's so cute, it kills me. She probably doesn't like me but, maybe she does.

J: Whatever.... I don't need her anyways

J: Thanks

M: Np
