It was another boring day in class, the teacher was rambling on at Anthony about being late, again.
"If you're late one more time, you can expect a detention and a phonecall home, now go and take your seat" finished the teacher.
Anthony breathed out and walked to his seat at the back of the classroom. He threw his bag on the empty seat next to him and put his head on the desk trying to catch up on a few minutes sleep but the annoying voice of his teacher deprived him of doing so.
"We have a new student today," announced Mr. Reck.
Anthony looked up to see who it was. There was a boy standing at the front of the classroom, brown hair blue eyes - he was quite short, pretty cute... did Anthony just think another boy was... cute? Anthony shook the thought off.
"His name is Ian, who wants to show him around?" the teacher looked around the class, making eye-contact with all the suck ups.
No one was raising their hand, so Anthony took it upon himself to volunteer. "I'll do it," Anthony called from the back of the classroom.
Ians eyes darted to the see the person behind the voice. Dark brown hair with light brown eyes, quite cute... Ian shook his head a little at the thought of finding a boy cute.
"Thank you Anthony" said the teacher as he gestured Ian to the back of the room.
Ian walked swiftly to the seat next to the boy who decided to help him around.
"Hi, sorry but is it- is it okay if you- if you could move your bag please?" Ian mentally kicked himself for stumbling on his words.
"Oh yeah, sorry" Anthony nervously chuckled as he pushed his bag onto the floor.
"It's cool no biggie," Ian sat down, "your name's Anthony, right?"
Anthony looked at Ian to reply but got lost in the sea of his blue eyes, falling deeper and deeper.
"Hello?" Ian waved his hand infront of Anthonys face until he snapped out of his trance.
"Huh? Oh hi, sorry - what did you say?" "
I was just making sure your name was Anthony before I start calling you Bob or something for the rest of highschool" Ian chuckled a little.
"Yeah, that is me. And before I start calling you Lance or something like that, your name's Ian?"
"DING DING DING! We have a winner!"
"Nailed it" Anthony joked along with Ian.
