My Love Story

Chapter eight: how do relationships work?

                The next day at school, he was late. 15 minutes late to be exact. The moment he opened the door, he immediately smiled when he saw me. I wanted to melt. The class went on like forever, it was so boring. The first bell rang which means it was already recess. Kris was suddenly behind me.

“good morning” he whispered

“good morning” I whispered back

“come on, let’s go have recess” he said as he ushered me to the door. We walked side by side and it was really awkward. We would just glance at each other. I could almost hear the crickets. Kris bought me a large cookie and orange juice.

“Kris.” I nudged him

“yes.” Kris said.

Monica jumps for joy because I finally got myself a boyfriend.

“If I kiss you now, I would be taking things too fast” his hug suddenly tightens “I love you”

“I love you too.” I whisper because my throat sudden felt tight after hearing him say that
