This is the story of the one person I really liked and I fucked everything up.

"How are you?" I ask the boy sitting next to Leo, he frowns and puts down the book he was reading.
"Who are you?" He asks.
"I'm Sam,"
"Mhm, and what do you want?"
"Why are you always alone?" I ask. "Why don't you-"
"I'm not alone, I'm with Leo." He says going back to his book.
"Alright," I sigh defeated going back with all my other friends sitting on the benches at the back of the place. "He doesn't like to talk too much." I tell them.
"Yeah, Mickey is a weirdo, he is a loner and he's crazy." They say to me. I look back at him and I see Leo whispering something to Mickey, his gaze meets mine and then pushes Leo away making him fall from the bench.

A week later, Leo comes up to me saying that I needed to follow him to the back of the music room, so I did and then I found Mickey walking side to side as if he was really nervous and uneasy, passing his fingers through his messy black hair.
"Why do you-" I look back to ask Leo but he wasn't behind me anymore. When Mickey sees me standing a few feet away from him, he takes a deep breathe. "Hi." Is all I say.
"Do you want to have a date with me?" He asks really fast. I open my eyes surprised and nod slowly not really knowing if it was a good idea to accept. "Really?" He asks shocked.
"Sure..." I reply.
"Okay, good." He says and walks away leaving me confused.

That same day after the first classes go by, and it was lunch time, I get out of the classroom and I see Mickey leaning on the wall.
"I forgot to ask you if you want to eat lunch with me?"
"I can't. I have to work at the library the entire week to pay off my debt for not returning a book in time." I say embarrassed, his face hardens and walks away without saying anything. "Okay..." I say to myself.
First I go to the cafeteria to get some food, and the line was really long, I take about 10 minutes to get my lunch and then I walk my way to the library. The lady that works there sees me and walks towards me.
"You're free to go," She says. "Go and enjoy your lunch."
"What? What about my debt?"
"A boy came a few minutes ago and payed off your debt," She explains.
"Do you know who he was?"
"I don't know his name but he was wearing a black jacket today." It was definitely Mickey.

For the next 2 months I ate lunch with Mickey behind the gym. The only thing we did was talk, which I really enjoyed, it consisted more on me asking questions and he answering. He even promised me to teach me some tricks on the skateboard, after I told him that I skate, but I didn't know tricks so he offered to teach me all he knows.
