A Dash of Love

Totally straight. Definitely.

I stared at the blonde boy as he strolled past, talking to his other friends. As his eyes met mine, he waved. My heart did this sort of flutter, and I instantly felt like I was going to puke butterflies.

"DOMINIC!" someone punched me in the arm, making me jump.

"What the fuck, Mel? Was that really necessary?"

The girl's hazel-brown eyes stared at me intensely through her glasses. "You've been staring at Ash for like, five minutes now. Did you even hear what I was saying?"

"U-um.. Something about the geometry test?" I stuttered, scratching the back of my neck.

"I was saying that you should study at my house tonight. My mom's getting pizza." A sly grin spread across her face. "Plus, I want to hear all about your little crush."

I sighed, rolling my eyes at her. "You know I'm straight. I'm not into guys."

Was I?

"Whatever. We should get home. So, are you coming to my house or not?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Race ya!" she took off, her dark hair flicking wildly in the December wind. I followed close behind, feeling snow lightly flecking my cheeks and making them rosy.

We made it to her house in no time; it wasn't that far of a walk from the school. I flopped over on her couch, brushing ice from my ebony hair and tossing my shoes on the floor.

"So, geometry?" I asked, pulling out my math notebook and flipping through the pages.

She smirked at me. "Actually, I was thinking we should study chemistry... Like the type that you and Ash have." she wiggled her eyebrows, giggling wildly.

"Mel, for the last time, I don't have a crush on Ash." my voice cracked a bit, making me cringe. Shit.

"Yeah, and I totally don't have a crush on Josh Dun."

"Okay, maybe I have a small crush on him. But who cares? Not like it's going to happen anyway." I blushed a bit. "Now let's get into the geometry homework."

"Fine," Mel said reluctantly, grabbing a slice of pizza.
