I groan loudly after remembering that I forgot my English book in my locker. I turn around and bump directly into someone sending me falling to the floor. Looking up at the ceiling I sigh and think why me?
I stay on the floor for another few seconds before a face comes into view. Seeing that the person I ran into was none other than the nerdy guy that everyone makes fun of. What was his name? Harry? Berry? Terry? Oh wait wasn't it Henry? Yea his name is Henry. I come back into reality when I realize that nerdy Henry was talking to me.
"H-h-h-hey are you umm okay?" he asked stuttering and blushing. To be completely honest his stuttering was cute and his blush was adorable. I quickly took in his appearance and silently swooned. He was wearing a button up shirt with a tie and skinny jeans with nerdy glasses. Call me crazy but his nerdy look was hot.
After my ogling I looked up into his eyes and let me tell you his green eyes got me lost since they looked like a vibrant green forest. I took a breath and decided to answer his question. "Y-yeah I'm fine umm thanks for asking uhh Henry?" I stated a question at the end to make sure I got his name right. His slight nod assured me that I got it right.
"Well good I'm sorry for running into you I was kind of in a rush to English," he said and smiled making my heart beat faster. Chill woman he's just a guy. Yea a really cute and smart guy that actually cares about his education. True wait, did he say he was heading to English!? Yea what about it. That's your next class. So? So what if he escorted you to class and you sat next to each other as an apology. Oh yeah good thinking. I know.
"Oh it's okay I was heading the same way actually before I realized I left my book in my locker then bam we ran into each other," I said awkwardly with a shy smile at the end.
"Well sorry for stopping you in your path but maybe we can just head straight there and share a book. I mean I wouldn't want to be the reason you're so late to English if I let you go all the way back to your locker," he scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment," I mean but only if you're okay with it. You don't have to share a book with me I just thought that it would save you some time and you know you would be able to get to class on time and-" I cut him off with a chuckle. He really is cute when he's nervous. You just met him chill your hormones woman. I'm trying but come on it's freaking adorable.
"I'll share the book with you, let's go to class before we become too late." With that final request we headed to class together.
Entering the classroom was embarrassing seeing as the whole class looked at us when we walked in. "Miss Janet and Mister Henry, would you like to explain to me why you are both 10 minutes late to my class?"
"Umm we ran into each other and yea lost track of time talking ad now we're here. 10 minutes late."Henry said ending with a blush on his face and a rock in his stance.
"Well you'll have a lot more time to get to know each other in detention after school." At this command my jaw dropped and anger rushed through my veins.
"We were only 10 minutes late Mrs. A." I say barely keeping the anger and annoyance from showing in my voice.
"10 minutes doing what Janet? I'm pretty sure that no one believes your explanation based off of your disheveled state and Henry's blush. So you earned yourself detention from being distasteful on school campus." With those words I snapped and I balled my fist ready to punch her but couldn't since Henry was holding my fist. His other hand began rubbing circles on my waist and for some reason, I relaxed completely. I took a deep breath and shivered from the physical contact between us.
I sighed and walked to an empty table and making a head gesture for Henry to take the empty seat next to me. I crossed my arms and glared at the teacher throughout the period. I went throughout the day with an attitude and snapped at anyone that bothered me.
After school was over I headed to the detention room only to find Henry in there being harassed by the school's head cheerleader, Barbara. I watched wanting to see what happened next as she rubbed his arm and he stayed tense. For some reason I felt anger at the fact that she was touching him but relief since he didn't like it.
Eventually she leaned in to kiss him and I couldn't hold back the anger anymore, I stormed up to her and pulled her face away from him by her hair and turned her to face me.
" Obviously he doesn't want you s why can't you just back off and go back to your boyfriend. Or the football team at that," I spit at her face. She registered my words and whipped her hair in my face as she walked out of the door in anger nearly knocking the detention teacher off of his feet.
"Okay students, I don't care why you're here or what you do just leave me alone while I sleep. Please and thank you," he all but grunted out before lying in his chair and dozing off.
"So, how was your day?" I turn to my left to see Henry asking me the question and I smiled despite my anger I had mere minutes ago.
"Better now for some reason." I told him honestly with a furrow to my eyebrows showing my confusion. He held his hand out and grabbed mine pulling me into the chair next to him. Call me weird but I swear I felt sparks when he touched me Sparks? Really? Shut up. Whatever you say.
"You know, if we're being completely honest, I've been feeling weird since we ran into each other," my heart started beating faster at his confession. I opened up my mouth to speak but he cut me off," like when I first looked into your eyes I felt like I knew you my whole life and I don't know I may sound creepy but it's true. All day I was wondering if it was a one time thing like I was just tripping but, based off of how I feel telling you this right now I now it was true. Basically, I just really want to ask you if you'll go out with me on Friday."
My heart stopped.Like not literally but it's beating amile a minute and I think I forgot how to breathe. In. Out. In. Out. I was just about to open my mouth and say my answer when he cut me off once again.
"I mean you don't have to, I understand if you feel creeped out. I mean we just met today so yea it's weird but. Just forget it it was stupi-" I cut him off with a kiss that had me feeling like I was on Cloud 9. I ran my hands through his hair and bit his lip making him groan. He gripped my waist and I pulled back smiling at his rustled hair and crooked glasses.
"Yes I'll go on a date with you on Friday." After my answer was said he smiled and we hugged. Let's just say that everything after that was more fun and life got brighter for both of us.
