*Friday
"Okay class, today we're going to hear from all of you. You will all present your partner to the rest of the class by telling us a little bit about them" Mrs Chambers announces.
Me and Chandler glance over to each other and our eyes meet. Both filled with fear.
"Okay, let's hear from Lydia and Harley first" she says.
Once the both of them get to the front of the class Lydia begins to explain that Harley's favourite colour is black, he loves motorcycles and leather jackets, he likes to sing and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. Then Harley explains a bit about Lydia.
"Well done you two. Okay, now let's hear from Chandler and Madison". My stomach drops when she says that, especially with how I've been lately.
Chandler and I get our notes out from our bags and head to the front.
It's okay Madison. You know pretty much everyone here. There's nothing to be afraid of. Take...deep..breaths.
I take a deep breath. "Uh-okay, I'll start. This is Chandler Riggs, he was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He has one brother called Grayson. Umm...his favourite colour is blue but not any blue, he like the shade that people with blue eyes have. He...uh likes to play video games and loves horror movies. He...uh...describes himself as honest, quiet and stubborn" I pause.
"Thank you, Madison. Chandler, it's your turn" she motions towards him.
I notice sweat beginning to form on his forehead and he takes deep breaths. "Uh...this is...M-Madison... B-Blake" he looks down at his sheet of paper.
I notice his hands beginning to shake and then he squeezes his eyes shut and suddenly stumbles, catching himself by placing his hand on the whiteboard behind. I hear him hyperventilating.
I rush over to him and place one hand on his back and the other to his chest, keeping him upright. I look over to the teacher. "I think he needs to go to the nurses office" and she quickly nods.

Once we get there I explain what happened to the nurse and then I step outside and wait for Chandler to come out.
The door wide open, I can hear everything she's saying. "Chandler, it sounds like you had a panic attack" she states. "Have you had one before?" She asks softly. "Y-yes" he stutters.
Why didn't he tell me?
"Okay, here's some anxiety medication. Take it once a day for a month and then in a months time come talk to me and we'll do a check up. Take care, okay?" The nurse explains.
As he comes out of the nurses office, he walks straight passed me. I jog up to him and then match his walking speed. "I know you heard" he says, avoiding all eye contact and keeping his head down.
I put my hand on his shoulder and stop him. "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask. "Because...cause I didn't know what you would think of me. I'm already a screw up" he states, regret filling his eyes.
"Even after I poured my heart out to you...explaining my flaws" he looks down, seeming a little embarrassed. "Geez...I thought I was actually beginning to trust someone for once" I turn my back to him and walk outside.
It's pouring it down but I don't care. Suddenly, I hear quick footsteps making their way behind me but I continue walking.
Chandler quickly whips me round to face him, causing my wet hair to spray him as I am spun round but before I could say anything, he smashes his soft lips into mine.
It took me by surprise in all honesty. The kiss lasted about 2 seconds and then we both pulled away.
"I'm sorry" he said softly. I avoided eye contact by looking at the door I just came from "I...uh...I better go" I stutter. Walking away, leaving Chandler in the rain.
I ran up to the third floor in my usual spot, that's been for the last few days.
What did that kiss mean?
