~~~~

I sat on my bed looking out the window, waiting for the school bus to come down the road. Today was a big day for me because I was going to confess to my crush.

I watched as the bright orange bus came down the road, and I took a deep breath, grabbing my bag and walking outside. I got on the bus and sat in the middle seats that were completely empty.

I was one of the kids who got bullied on a day to day basis when I was in middle school. I wore feminine clothes because I felt like boys clothes were too rough on my sensitive skin. Or maybe my mom packed my lunch and took the sides off of my sandwich because I asked her too. My choice of fashion was bad, not to mention I was a nerd. I spend most of my days reading books that were bigger than my head. I had joined the book club when I got into Middle school and was picked on even more. Most of the books I had were ruined from all the times I had dropped them due to running away from people who wanted to hurt me. I remembered them saying I couldn't tell anyone before they locked me in my locker. I could remember the tears swell in my eyes as the darkness surrounded me. After the teacher let me out of my locker, I ran home. I ran upstairs and cried.

I felt someone sit beside me and I was brought out of my thoughts. The girl that sat next to me looked bored. I wanted to engage in a conversation, but I didn't know what to say. I just smiled at her and looked out the window. My breath fogged the window as the cold air surrounded the outside of the bus. I watched as the sky started crying, and teardrops fell onto the window. I sighed and watched as the school came into view.

The bus came to a stop in front of the school's front doors and the kids and teens rushed to get into the building. I felt the presence beside me leave, and I followed suit. I walked into the building and walked over to my locker.

Everything seemed so different after Thanksgiving break. All the decorations were down, all the lockers were to the metal. I opened my locker and pulled out some books, putting them into my backpack. I felt someone nudge me and I tried my best to ignore it. But, of course, whoever nudged me, wasn't going to leave me alone. I closed my locker and walked to my first class. The person who nudged me, following suit. I was about to open the door to get to the classroom when a hand grabbed my collar, making me stop. Annoyed. I turned around. The girl from the bus.

"That isn't the way to treat your best friend" She shook her head in disapproval. I just smiled.

We both started talking before the first bell rang, and we walked into the classroom.

I really just want this day to be over.

My friend and I sat together at lunch talking about our break. She had left to go see her family in another country while I stayed here. She was talking when I saw my crush come into view. I looked down and felt a blush creep onto my cheeks. My friend looked around before she spotted him too. I had told her about him long ago when we first met. She promised not to tell anyone, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to tease me about it.

"Just ask him to fuck you already." She giggled.

I blushed even more and looked at him. He was hanging out with his friends. I took a deep breath and counted to five before letting it out.

My brain was telling me, no, but my heart was telling a different story. I got up and took my food to the trash before slowly walking over to him. His friends and he laughed before they all looked at me. They said a few words before the male looked at me.

"Need something?" He questioned.

It took every inch of my bean to not joke and say 'you' so I looked him in the eye and opened my mouth.

"Can I talk to you in private?" I gulped.

"Sure thing." He said a quick goodbye for now to his friends and we both walked outside into the rain. We stood under the overhanging roof and he leaned against the wall. I stood a few feet away from him and I starred at my feet. I finally got enough courage and took a deep breath once more. My hands were sweating and my face was burning. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, before looking into his beautiful orbs.

"I-I just wanted to tell you, that. You probably don't remember but you saved me from bullies once in middle school and God damn it every year you just get hotter." I stammered.

He looked surprised at first. I just looked back down at my feet. I felt him come close to me and I hopped for the worst.

I felt his coldish hand reach up and grab my chin, pulling my head up. I felt his lips crash against mine. And I slowly closed my eyes. Shocked at first. I slowly kissed back. We kissed for what seemed like hours. Before he pulled away and our foreheads were together. He looked and me before backing up to the edge of the overhang.

"Anthony Stark. You have no idea how long I've longed to hear you say that." He beamed. Not seeming to care about the rain that fell down his back. He smiled before jogging back to me, pressing his soft lips to mine once more.
