"Guys no.." I say stopping my feet dead set on the spot. "he's right there, you might as well just approach and talk to him. This might also be your only chance of talking to him somehow," Elizabeth says shoving me out of their circle. "But..." "NO BUTTSSS ON THIS MARIANETTE, sorry for suddenly being perkier than I already am but seriously. Just go and make unicorn babies already," Maniacal Jane says, muttering the last part to herself. Before I can say another word to excuse myself out of this, they push me harder and actually managed to get me to a pretty close distance next to Justin. 'Oh my freaking woodies'
...
HE'S BEAUTIFUL! And what do I look like? A creepy stalker trying to get him to notice me.
"Oh hey M," I hear a voice. I look up from my trembling hands to see a smiling Justin.
Wait.

HE JUST CALLED ME 'M'!!!  Holy freaking toasted papayas!!! "I.. Uhh...," I stutter to say the words I have in mind. "Umm, you okay?" he says putting a hand on my shoulder.

EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
*INHALE* *EXHALE* INHALE* *EXHALE*
KEEP BREATHING MARIANETTE!!
"Uhh.. umm.. Yeapedoodle..." WHAT THE HECK MARIANETTE!!! YEAPEDOODLE?? NOW THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS! "Haha, you're cute," he chuckles. I feel my face heating up like an asteroid falling onto a surface of a planet.

You know.

HE JUST CALLED YOU CUTE. OHMAIGOODIETOOTTOOTIETOOTS!!! keep breathing... BREATHE!!

I, being the most obvious monster I am, run away from the scene. I watch as Justin's face drops and my friends shaking their heads. Without a minute to spare, I sprint my way to the grassy hill 2 metres away from our school. I scream my heart out when suddenly I hear footsteps nearing me. "Hey, did I do something wrong? I mean, you ran away right after I called you cute," oh no...  It's Justin. You had yet made the atmosphere awkward, as always. Tsk Tsk Tsk Marianette. I shake my head, still not knowing what to say. "Oh, if nothing's wrong then I'll just leave you to it. Seems like you need some time to think about something," he says waving goodbye before stepping away. "Wait..." I tug at his sleeve. "hmm?" he turns his head. "it's just, I am not used to being 'complimented' ya know? Others call me awkward, so I-" "Am I like other monsters to you? No. I am one monster, with my own thought in things, for example you. Your not awkward, they're just saying that cause their jealous, that's all," he says lifting my chin up, making me look at him in the eye. My face tainted in red blush when suddenly he jerks off like he's done a crime. "I.. Uhh.. Sorry. Didn't mean to invade personal space... I," he says stuttering his own words. "Thanks," I say pulling him into a hug. Shocked at first but later he gives in and hugs me back.
*snap*
"OOOWOAHHHHHHH! We've got some good shots here, ain't that right Desert," Maniacal Jane says holding onto her phone for dear love. Me and Justin back off from each other immediately, keeping our hands to ourselves. "Awwww.... Sorry to ruin the moment guys, don't worry we'll be leaving anyway, don't wanna be late for class am I right?" Maniacal Jane says heading off goodbye. "Want me to walk you to class?" he offers. "my pleasure," I say still blushing from the thought that I just hugged him suddenly out of the blues.
"I like you," I whisper quietly.
Smiling to myself.
