It was the first day of senior year, and you know how that always go's. It's the same routine every year, you walk down the halls, and people stare and try to talk to you, because honestly you were the coolest person in the world. And sure this is all great, being popular and all, but this made it especially hard to get to the person you liked most.
Nick. He was one of the middle class seniors, the kind that had just enough friends to be okay. And also one of the people who thought of you as a snob.
You walked into your first hour class, was of course with Nick. You sat in your usual seat in the back, and waited for class to start.
" okay class, today we will be doing partner activities. I will write your partner pairs on the board"
Oh no what if I got paired with Nick? I mean it wouldn't be too bad, I guess. You thought to yourself
You were pulled out of your thoughts when you heard someone shouting hello in front of your face.
"Oh! Uh, sorry."
Of course, it had to be Nick.
"So what do you want to do for the art project?"
"Idk, we could do like, uh, self portrait I guess"
"Sure that works. Come to my house after school and we'll get started"
"A-alright" and with that the bell rang.
After school was over, you met Nick outside the school, cause you didn't know where he lived. You were about to walk around the corner when you heard someone that sounded kind of like Nick. You just stood behind the corner and waited until they were done.
"I thought she was a snob, and that she was stuck up, but I don't think so."
"Dude, she totally is, she's just faking it."
"I don't think so, you'll see"
After the conversation was done, you walked toward Nick.
"Ready to go Nick?"
"Yeah, let's go"
The ride to Nicks house was more than awkward, he'd try to talk to you, and you'd try to respond but would end up just stuttering.
You entered his house, and was shocked to see how big it was, his house was bigger than yours. He led you to the table and you both started getting to work on the self portraits.
At some point you both went to grab the blue, and your hands touched. Awkward coughs and eye contact was exchanged.
"You know, I'm really sorry."
"Sorry? For what" you say confused
"I always thought you were, well a snob I guess, and that you didn't care about anybody but yourself."
"Ouch, what made you think all that?"
"You know, I really don't know. Just judging a book by its cover I guess."
"Well I appreciate your apology, it means a lot. I don't get many of those."
"Really? Oh, well I think you're pretty cool actually ."
"Haha, thanks, okay I gotta tell you something now." Your hands were getting clammy.
"I-I always thought you were kinda cute, just never talked to you cause I knew you thought I was a snob"
"I'm sorry, I thought you were a snob, again. But you are cute too"
The level of awkwardness was now through the roof
You were about to say something when your phone rang. It was already 9, where had the time gone?
"Sorry I have to go, my mom wants me home."
"A-alright, do you want me to drive you home?"
"No I'll walk, it's not to far from here actually."
"Okay, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then"
He walked you to the door, and before you could walk out the door, he grabbed your arm, turned you around and kissed you.
"Um, o-okay, haha"
"See you tomorrow"
Nick closed the door and you both were left to your own thoughts.
