Pisces POV:
"God it's cold today." I can't help but complain to myself as I rub my arms. I'm still waiting at the gates outside of school. Leo really did choose a great day to run late. We never officially plan to meet there it's just an instinct. Ever since we were kids we always walk home together.
"Hey, Pisces sorry I'm late, the guys got us into trouble and we had to stay back and listen to Mr. Turnip give us a lecture about proper manners." He says running up to me and we start to walk home.
"Well, you sure picked a cold day to get in trouble," I say as we walk along the path home.
"Hey, I didn't do anything wrong," he says defensively and I joke back.
"Riiiight, sure you didn't," he gives me a pouting look and we joke the whole way home.
It's the next day. I'm at home sick. It must be from the cold weather. I hope that Leo knows I'm not at school today. I'd hate the thought of him standing around in the cold waiting for me.
Leos POV:
I haven't seen Pisces all week and I'm starting to worry. I hope she's okay. I know I'm acting really worried but the truth is I've been starting to see Pisces differently recently. We're not kids anymore and I feel like the friendship feelings I have towards her have started to change. It's Saturday now and I don't have anything to do. She'd probably hate the thought of me turning up at her house without warning when she's sick but I have a good alibi. My mum and her mum have known each other longer then we have. The first time we walked home together I wondered why she was running up to my mum friends. Then my mum proceeded to explain that they knew each other. My mum and her mum were friends in high school, but my mum moved away after she graduated. My 3rd grader mind couldn't seem to understand it. My dad owns a bakery and we sometimes take over the extra stock to her families house. I get on my bike and head to the bakery, it's about a ten-minute ride away. Pisces house is pretty much right next to it, that's why we walk home together. After arriving I say a quick hi to my dad and sneak out with some food.
Pisces POV:
That cold I thought I had turned out to be a pretty bad flu. I crawled out of my bed and made my way down to the kitchen only to see a very familiar face standing there handing a bag of baked goods over to my mother. He looks up and sees me. He looks somewhat relieved before blushing and turning away. Why is he blushing? I look down at myself only to be reminded that I am in my pajamas. The thing is I don't actually wear pajamas I just wear a baggy shirt and some underwear. I quickly turn around and run back to my bedroom, blushing all the way. I can't believe that happened. I hide away in my room and burrow my head into my pillow.
Leos POV:
I guess maybe going to see Pisces wasn't the best idea. At least she isn't seriously sick. Her mum said that she has the flu but should be okay for school on Monday. I guess I'll wait till then to see her.
Pisces POV:
I'm back waiting near the school gate for Leo again. I was feeling better today so mum pushed me out the door this morning saying that I had to go to school. It's not really the school part that I was worried about but it's kind of embarrassing to have to see Leo again. I don't know what is it, I mean we have seen each other in our underwear before. To be fair we were only kids then. Our families had gone on holidays together and we wanted to go swimming but didn't have our swimmers. It's different now. I'm older and my body isn't the same as it was then, neither is my mind, come to think of it neither is his. I remember just last month when we were had to play basketball in P.E. His arms looked so strong and nothing like the old skinny boy arm he use to have, I mean- oh no. I think I like Leo.
"Pisces! you're back!"
"Whaa!" I let out a cry as I fall back to the ground in surprise.
"Pisces! Are you okay?" Leo asks as he helps me up.
"You scared me! What's wrong with you seeking up on people like that?" I ask as I brush his hands away and get myself up.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just happy to see you. That flu had you off school for a while. Your mum said you'd be back today," as he says this my mind immediately thinks back to Saturday and I feel myself start to blush. I turn away and start walking so Leo doesn't see it. There is silence behind me until I hear the sound of his footsteps running to catch up.
"Are you mad at me?" he asks silently and I immediately stop and look him in the eye.
"Of course not. Why would you think that?" I ask in surprise. It must be because I'm acting weird but I don't want him to think I'm mad at him.
"Well I don't know you just seem to be acting differently that's all. Is it because I was at your house on Saturday?" He asks reluctantly. I don't know what to say. I don't want him to think I'm mad at him but whats going to happen if he finds out that I like him will our friendship end? Will he stop walking me home? I don't what to lose that but if I keep acting this way I might lose it anyway.
"I think I like you," I say looking him straight in the eyes. There is a silent pause as we stand there staring at each other. Not being able to stand it any longer I quickly turn away and start walking. I don't hear him following me and immediately regret what I just said. Just as I feel my eyes grow wet I hear the same running footsteps I heard before and then I feel a hand grab my own. I look up in surprise once again and see Leo looking down at me. He stares at me for a bit and I feel so lost.
"I think I like you too," he says so softly it's almost a whispers. He regrips my hand entwining his fingers with mine and leads the way as we start to walk. I still feel very lost but now I feel less afraid.
