'why are you even friends with me?',

she had once asked.

-

they just finished class,

them being the last to leave,

her deliberate tactic of avoiding everyone else,

his of just wanting to stay with her.

he just shrugged,

patted her head,

'you'll know when I tell you,

someday.'

-

he then bent down,

to her height,

and tapped her nose,

affection clearly seeped from the action.

-

her heart beat faster,

maybe in curiosity,

when his face got so,

so close.

-

it was the first time,

he had ever been so close,

to her,

and it was the first time,

someone had done so without running away,

in disgust.
