It's almost time for the Fall Formal! I don't think I've ever attended a high school dance before. I'm usually too scared because I'm afraid to go alone, but this year I'm considering going.

Simon and I are probably going together... and that will be amazing.

Simon, Vikk, and I are sitting in our creative writing class, and today is the due date of the project I've been working on ever since school started.

I look at my drawing quickly, making sure I didn't miss anything, but I notice the second swan isn't as bold as I want it, so I make it as bold as the first swan.

Vikk looks over at the drawing. "So you and Simon are official then?"

"Yes. And I couldn't be happier." I say and he lets out an 'aww'.

The horrible bell rings, meaning the class is starting. The teacher tells us to take out our projects and get ready to present.

Vikk delivers his first, which was about feeling trapped, and Simon goes next, delivering a speech about trust. Both speeches are amazing, and they are, in a way, relatable to me in general.

Then everybody else but me goes, forcing me to go up and present. I take my drawing and put it under the projector. The class 'ooh's and 'ahh's as the picture becomes more clear.

"This is about finding your other half. You see, in this picture, one swan is clearly defined, and it can be any of us. The other swan is a little bit less bold, or there, meaning that the other half is, or potentially, out there.

What's important about this is that you should know your other half is out there, is you are interested. It takes time, and it will eventually become more bold and crystal clear. It may take years or you have already met them, but either way, it takes time for it to come to light. Always know that you are loved and that someone out there wants you." I finish and the class applauds.

Simon blows me a kiss from his desk, and I  put my hand over my heart. I take my picture off the projector and took my seat.

"That was beautiful Harry!" The teacher exclaims. I smile and tell her 'thanks' and put my picture back in my bag.

"Harry, that was amazing." Vikk says and gives me a side hug.

"Thanks Vikk!" I chirp and the bell rings.

School is over! Finally!

Since today is Monday, I go to the locker rooms to get changed into my football gear.

I go to the farthest corner of the locker room to change like I usually do, since I'm quite shy when it comes to changing in front of people. I take my shirt off, and I hear footsteps coming from behind me.

I turn around fast to see Simon looking at me, and smiling, but when he noticed my shirt was off, his face goes pink and turns away, "Sorry!".

I don't need a mirror to know my face is flushed with crimson. "I-It's okay. You're allowed." I say and he grins, his face is still pink. "You're my boyfriend, after all." I sat casually as I take off my pants.

Simon blushes and looks away awkwardly, starting to change himself. I look at his nicely toned body as he strips to his boxers. He notices me looking and smirks, "Like what you see?"

I become a stuttering mess as we walks towards me. I walk back until my back touches the wall, and he is almost leaning against my body. He collides his lips with mine and lifts me up, wrapping his arms around my bottom to support me, and I wrap my arms around his neck.

We carry on for a couple minutes, enjoying each other's warmth, until we finally break apart, taking a breath. "You're beautiful." Simon says and my face warms up.
