Carmalita ran her  fingers through her hair while she sat at her secluded lunch table.

Usually her and Gil ate together, but he had to get a physical done so he could join the fencing team. So it was just her.

She didn't mind, but the weird glances and stares from other students were making her uncomfortable.

"Carmalita!,"

She looked up, smiling when she saw Porter running up to her. He smiled back when he reached the table, a blush rising up his cheeks.

"Can I sit?,"

She nodded, scooting over so he could sit beside her.

"Where's Gil?,"

"H-he's getting a sp-sports physical test,"

Porter nodded.

The two talked for a while, and Porter ended up walking with her to their English class.

Usually they sat on opposite sides of the classroom, but now that they knew each other, they started sitting next to each other.

Carmalita didn't mind of coursex she liked the new company. It was just... she would see him sneaking glances at her during class, and he'd blush whenever she'd catch him looking.

He was nice and everything, but she's with Gil. Having a crush is one thing, but she didn't want Porter to get the wrong idea.

She confronted him about it after class, when they were walking to their dorms.

"A-about Saturday," She stsrted, making him look at her curiously.

"You're not cancelling, are you?,"

She shook her head. "No, I just....," She trailed off. How should she put this?

"Just?,"

"I-It's not like a.... date, is it??,"

His face turned a bright red, but he shook his head. "N-No, of course not.... not that I wouldn't date you it's just-,"

She cut off his rambling by gently putting a hand on his arm. "It's ok. I-I was just checking.

He nodded, but she could tell there was something else.

"Wh-What?,"

He bit his lip and stopped walking. She stopped too, looking at him curiously.

"I... I don't have a crush on you, I know that's why you asked... I um....," He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

She cocked her head to the side slightly. "What? You don't n-need to be nervous,"

He nodded but hesitated nonetheless.

"I actually have a crush on Gil," 

Word Count- 381.
