Just a little smile

She was very happy, too happy for her own good. This girl wakes up excited for the day, she smiles to the sun, the birds, the sky, everything. She would hum a little tune while getting ready and she would skip to school. In every class, she would greet her teachers and smile during the whole class. Some people thought she was weird but she didn't care she loves being happy. 

He was very depressed, he would never smile. He normally wore black clothes and is closed off from the world. He walks around school with earbuds in his ears. 

The two balanced each other out, his depressed side contradicted her happy side and vise versa, they complete each other. It was fall, the year had just begun, she was excited about the new year ahead of her. He was annoyed that the school was back and he couldn't stay at home listening to his music. The first class of the day is when he saw her, she was bouncing into the class, her brown hair was flying all over the place. At that moment, he was looking up, he was intrigued by her. She wasn't like all the other zombie-like students, she wasn't on her phone, she was waiting for the class to begin. 

She walked into her first class overjoyed, the first class of the very first day, who couldn't be excited. When she got to her desk, she saw him, he was sitting in the back, earphones in ears, looking really sad. She couldn't believe someone was sad, it was a happy day. She went up to him. 

"Hi" Her cheery voice snapped him out of his daze. He looked at her, not believing that she was speaking to him. 

"Hi?" He asked unsurely. 

"What's your name?" She asked him, he looked at her. 

"I don't speak to strangers" He grunted looking away. She pouted. 

"I'm Y/N, I'm sorry for bothering you but I was wondering why you are sitting here alone?" She said staring right into his soul. 

"It's none of your business, now go away," He said rudely. 

"I'm sorry" She squeaked. She got up and went back to her seat. 

~Time skip~

Ever since that day, Y/N would follow him around, talk to him in class, sit with him at lunch and tell him everything about her. He started enjoying her company up to the point he missed her when he goes home. After 2 weeks of being followed by the strange happy girl, the sad boy told her his name and started talking. 

"Hey remember 2 weeks ago when I ask you why you were sitting alone, was it because you hate people?" She asked him, they were outside eating lunch. 

"Wow you're so smart," He said in his regular sarcastic tone, she laughed. 

"So B/N wanna go get ice cream? Maybe go swimming? Oh, we can go to the movies or-" He cut her off before she gets carried ahead. 

"Y/N, I never asked you this but why did you talk to me?" He looked a bit scared to know. 

"Because you weren't smiling and looked lonely, I couldn't believe someone wasn't smiling on the first day of school" She smiled at him. 

"You're too happy you know that right?" He looked at her and she pouted. 

"Yeah and you're grumpy" She whined. 

"Come on sunshine let's go get you ice cream," He said calling her by her nickname that he gave her, she blushed like every time. 

"O-okay" She stuttered, he chuckled. What they both didn't know is that they both have a crush on each other. 

~Time skip~

Months passed, B/N and Y/N were now best friends, they would never stay away from each other. B/N became more open with new people and actually smiled once. Y/N and B/N were an inseparable pair, they did everything together. Lately, they've been really awkward with each other. They liked each other and when the opposite gender flirted with them, they got super jealous. Today was one year since the day they met, the first day of school, except this time it was the weekend. B/N was bringing his girl to her favorite ice cream shop, where he was going to tell her. 

"Oh my Irene yassss ice cream" Y/N squealed and ran to the cash, B/N laughed at her silly antics, something he loves about her. 

"She's so cute" He sighed running up to her. After ordering the frozen treat, they went to sit at the park. 

"Thank you for the ice cream" She leaned on his shoulder, he blushed. 

"No problems this day just means a lot to me" He mumbled. 

"Huh? Wait what day is it?" She yelled looking at her phone, her eyes widen with shock. 

"OMI, How could I have forgotten" She yelled jumping up. 

"It's fine, you have a lot to worry about," He said looking down. 

"No! it's not fine, that day is the most important thing to happen to us, I'm so stupid for forgetting" She said. 

"You're not stupid, you're amazing" He blushed saying that. 

"Y-you think I'm amazing?" She blushed. 

"Y-y-yeah Y/N you're more than amazing, you're the best thing to happen to me, you're the light in my life, my other half. Y/N, I-I-I love you" He yelled the last part, before blushing. Y/N looked at him, her face became a darker shade of red, then she smiled. 

"B/N, I love you too" He looked up at her, shocked. She returned his feelings. The next thing that happened shocked him more, Y/N walked closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. A few minutes later they pulled away. 

"You didn't know how long I wanted to do that," She said giggling. 

"Same" He smiled at her. He kissed her again, while she relaxed in his arms. And that is how the quiet depressed guy and the happy girl met and fell in love.
