The architecture club room was dusty so I busied myself with moving books around. It had been  a week since the festival, things kind of mellowed out. Everyone had two free hours to get with their clubs and I was in mine.  Architecture, which now Sueo was nearly tearing up talking about his first love ended "Guys fall really hard for the girls they first like" I got down from the chair I used to get the books placing the books on a lower shelf before putting away the chair. Lee had been watching, when my eyes met with him he looked lonely girl talk coming from guys, hearing it is so weird I walked over sitting next to him his hand reached out and intertwined our fingers. I leaned somewhat against his shoulder and he put his head on mine  "Don't be too hard on yourself, if a guy has no experience and a girl he likes smiles at him its all over"Jace continued to try and console Sueo who was still balled up "Angel!" Jace spun around "You've had a first crush right?" I only blinked at him as if he was stupid "Do you really think talking about something like that right now is reasonable?" "Vasco should know about your previous, crushes right? He could tell you his" Lee lifted his head off mind and I looked to him "Did you ever have a first crush?" he shook his head. I felt guilt ping in my heart "C'mon, you could probably cheer sueo up" grumbling I sat up off of euntae our hands still linked "So you have had one?" Sueo looked up from his ball tears slightly in the corners of his eyes. Nodding slowly I gave an exhale "Yes I've had a first crush" just mentioning it made my left elbow joint ache "Tell us" the ones who didn't have a chair sat on some turning my direction "What time is it-" "you have an hour" Jace deadpanned. The room was silent and I wanted to vanish but I knew I couldn't outrun a personal story time "I was fifteen, transferred to my third school-" "Did you cause a lot of trouble?" "No, at the time I just moved around a lot...I was a nervous wreck and at first glance he didn't seem that bad. He didn't call me names, didn't try to crush me, didn't bully me like everyone else except the staff at that school did. He was just, there. Usually when he was in the halls he would knock people out of the way but not me. He would just maneuver around me and I guess the feeling I was being not bullied by him made me develop the feelings-" "What was his name?" Woong but in I could tell, there's no way I could see his face here anymore "Logan" I shortly stated not use to saying the name, it felt like a taboo to say "...but that ended once I found out he was bullying my brother danny-" "Daniel here?" "Another danny, still like family though. You've met him" I looked at Lee and he nodded. I turned my face back to my lap as I looked at the small threading "Logan was Danny's bully. The person I had fallen for, for the first time. Was my brothers bully. Once I found out I buried my feelings, danny came first. While Logan was bullying danny I knocked over a bookcase on logans head. Then got danny up making him leave, I stayed behind because I thought I could try and reason with Logan but instead I got backhanded so hard I was stunned. I didn't think that could happen yet it did, one of his slaps can stun someone. He didn't take it easy on me since I was a girl" I paused straightening my left arm my eyes going to my elbow " On that day he took my left arm, stretched it out and stomped on my elbow until it broke forward.  He was the start of my downfall" I brought my arm back in my lap "At that point, all I cared about was taking hits that were meant for danny" My story ended and when I looked at everyone face they were horrified "Got crushed by my first crush. Funny huh?" a sad laugh left my lips but stopped "Too early okay..." I hummed looking at the ground "Did you tell him?" I looked up to woong "Tell him what?" "That you liked him?" sueo spoke up, I shook my head "No, every time I would even start to feel the attraction even after all the hell he put me though. I would have a rubber band on my wrist and I would pop myself for being so stupid" "Don't you think things have turned out differently if you told him?" Jace spoke "There's no way I would possibly bring myself to date anyone who thinks themselves right to bully lower people. May it be by looks, wealth, friends, or family. Anything. You shouldn't do it-" "Why do you still hang out with vin?" I rolled my eyes looking at sueo "I'm trying to fix that" "She does have a point since she's been hanging out with him he hadn't really picked on anyone" "It's like taming a wild black bear" sueo laughed continuing "Have to say I'm glad I didn't fall for someone like that-" The bell chimed and I got my panda bag slipping it over my shoulder. Lee put his hand with mine "Shouldn't you go to your next class?" our finger intertwined "I can walk you" I leaned against his arm as we walked in the direction of my class "What did Logan look like?" "he wasn't handsome if that's what you're asking. He's tall and....I guess you could say overweight" I huffed shaking my head at my own stupidity "Are you sure you never had a crush?" "Only on you" I nearly fell face forward but I caught myself only slightly mixed up shuffle "are you okay?" Lee had his stray hand on my back looking at me with a worried expression "I-I'm fine you just caught me off guard" he smiled kissing my forehead "You're cute" in an instant my face was burning. Lee stood back giving a small laugh which didn't help my blush go away "Not fair!" I stuck my tongue at him but he just patted my head stopping when a crash came from behind my classroom door. Opening the door everyone scurried to their seats almost knocking them over.
