"Why don't you ever talk"

Leah looks at Michael for a moment, she looks to make sure the secret is safe. But she doesn't see it is. Leah takes off running in the opposite direction towards the parking lot. Michael stands there dumbfounded before he runs after her. Him not being athletic at all does not help him in this situation. He turns a quick corner, he thought she went this way. He turns the opposite way in search for Leah. But really she was hiding behind the corner of the brick building that Michael almost caught her by just now. She sighs before looking out of the corner. Michael no where in sight so she thinks she's good. Right as she turns to creep out someone grabs her waist and softly pushes her against the wall.

"Please answer me" Michael pleads. She swallows.

"Leah please, why don't you ever talk or laugh or whisper?"

Leah pushes Michael off of her before grabbing a pad of green sticky notes from her shoulder bag. Michael stands there confused that she just pushed him off of her and now she's writing on sticky notes. He thinks she thinks it's just a funny game but he really likes her. Leah writes down two words on the sticky note before folding it and handing it to Michael. He looks at her while he opens it.

I'm mute

He drops the paper before looking at her. It all fits into place now. How she always was reading, Michael thought that was so they could act like they were the charictors in the books talking and doing other thing, how she never talked to him and how she only passed sticky notes to him.

Michael started laughing, which made Leah feel like crap. Her eyes started to tear up, some stray ones falling down her cheek. Michael stops laughing and looks down at her. He rubs his thumb across her cheek wipeing some tears off.

"That makes you even more beautiful, Leah" he whispers looking into her eyes, "I love you"

Michael crashes his lips into hers, at first she was hesitant but then started kissing him back. They went slow and she moved her hands up to his hair while he rested his hands on her hips. When she pulled away, Michael just came right back in and kissed her.

"i've waited so long to do that" he smiles into the kiss.
