September 1, 2007

It was the first day of senior high school, the students were screaming as everyone got off the bus.

A young Vlad, also known as Valerie, looked around for Leo, her boyfriend. She fidgeted with her fingers as she thought of many different things.

'What if he left? What if he found someone else over the summer? What if he doesn't like me anymore?'

Her mind clouded with thoughts.

Leo clumsily ran around, looking for his girlfriend. He tried calling her on the phone.

Her thoughts ended when she heard her phone, she answers it and moves it to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Uhm.. Val? Where you at? I can't seem to find you, I've been looking everywhere."

"Leo! Thank god... I'm by the flag pole, where are you?"

Leo ran to the location, slowing down when he saw Valerie. Said female turns her head, tackling Leo and hugging him.

"I was so worried! I got scared because I thought that you left me!"

Leo replied softly, "What? I'm not gonna leave you behind. Never, and if I do, I'll blame myself for it."

Valerie hid her face in Leo's chest, sniffling a bit before taking a step back and punching his shoulder.

"That was for making me worry!" She says.

Leo paused for a millisecond to say something, but didn't.

Valerie notices this and starts to worry.

"Sorry..." she mumbled.

He paused again, then lightly squeezed her hand. "It's okay,"

Valerie smiled a bit, clinging onto Leo as they walked into school.

—timeskip—

The two walk to Leo's home after school. Valerie had clung to him the entire day, even now. She was leaning her head on his shoulder, staying quiet.

Leo tried to ask her what was up with her, but stopped himself.

They arrive in Leo's house. His parents weren't home today, so they had the house to themselves. Valerie lets go of Leo, biting his lip.

"Sorry for being clingy today..." she says. "I'm really sorry, I'm so stupid, you're probably angry..."

Leo gazed into her eyes, filled with concern. "Please, tell me what's up with you," He said, his voice worried. "You've been acting stranger than usual."

She goes silent, beginning to tear up.

"I-it's nothing, I swear. I'm okay, just that I'm acting really stupid."

Leo comforted her, even more worried. "Listen, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I'm just really worried about you."

She nods before pulling him to the couch, sitting in his lap as they sat down. She leans on his chest, hugging him. She wanted to be comforted.

He stroked her hair, comforting her. Valerie reached up and kisses his lip, nuzzling his neck. Since they've been dating for a long time, Leo knew she wanted something... more.

Leo reached for the lower part of her torso, lifting her shirt. He took a look on her, asking for consent.

She nods, helping him take the shirt off. She was wearing a bra that had a cute polka dot pattern. She blushes and looks away, covering her face.
