After class
"Hey You!" I turned around to find Alyssa, Violet and Maya came up to me and started yelling at me. "You better stay away from Aryan, he's mine!!!"
"Oh really,there's nothing going on between us, I'm just his tutor," I say while rolling my eyes.
"There better not be, I'm watching you, Alyssa said and then she pushed me to the floor. "Ow...." Before she and her "friends" could leave Aryan came in.
"Hey Alyssa! Stop bullying Crystal. I can talk/hang out with anyone I want. It has nothing to do with you. Leave her alone."
I think he saw what happened, he immediately started yelling at Alyssa.
"Let's go Crystal. It's time for our session," he said as we headed off to the library. While walking there I felt my feet fall under me. Aryan catches me by my arm when I was about to fall but ...
"Woah...", "Eep...," losing balance, we both fall down.
"Ow... Crystal are you alright...?"
"Y-yeah... I'm f - - ?!" I looked up to find him looking straight into my eyes, and I can't do anything but freeze at spot.
H-he's so close to me...what should I do...?It'll be strange to look away from him suddenly,wouldn't it.... My heart is pounding so hard. Wait why do I feel like this? While staring at each other he reaches his hand to my cheek.
O-oh is he going to...
"You have dust on your face,"he said smiling, as he brushes it off.
"L-let's go" he says;I hold my hand up and he takes it shyly.
"Okay you've made good progress," I say while looking at his math test.
"Uh-huh, all thanks to you; you should get paid for this."
"I do, seeing your grades go up is good enough for me."
He falls silent.
When I looked up he was looking at me with an unreadable gaze. I looked away in embarrassment.
"Okay let's do Circles."
"Okay..."
A little while later
"Let's take a break,"I say while yawning.
" I have strawberries, want some?"
"Sure"
We silently ate them on the bench outside of the library. Too quietly.
"Say something," I blurted out.
"Huh..."
"Sorry, I just don't like it when it gets too
quiet," I say embarrassed.
"You know I've never told you why I signed up for this..."he paused. "Remember the day your friends made you come to my basketball game and you were reading a book. I would've been mad but... I wanted to be the reason you look up from the book."
"Aryan I-I don't understand what you're trying to say."
"I-I l-love y-you," he then held me in his arms.
"I-I l-love y-you too," his palms pressed up against my cheeks and next thing I know he is kissing me hard. I kissed back just hard trying to convey my feelings through my kiss.
