Tanner
"Thank God!" Romeo laughs as the bell rings, dismissing all of us from not only the class, but school as a whole.
"I'll meet you by the football field. Don't forget," I laugh, pointing a finger at him.
"Yes ma'am," He laughs. With that, we both go our separate ways. My locker is all the way on the other side of school and by the time I get to it, I feel like I've just gotten out of gym class. Then I remember the fact that drama gets me out of gym and I thank God that I don't actually have a gym class.
I look at the books at the bottom of my locker, trying to figure out if I really needed them. The books are huge and I don't feel like carrying them around. I reach down and grab the two that I need that just so happen to be the two biggest ones.
I put them in my backpack before slinging it over my shoulder and closing my locker and locking it. I check my phone as I begin walking to the door closest to the football field, which just so happened to be the farthest from my locker.
"Tanner!" I hear someone call. I turn around fast, not realizing how close the person was. I end up bumping into them again. I find myself in Daniel's arms for the 2nd time today and 3rd time in the short few days I've known him.
"Hey," I mumble, steadying myself and putting some space between us.
"Hey," He smiles. We stand there awkwardly for a minute, He looks down at me and I stare at our feet.
"So what did you need?" I question, looking up at him. He gives me a questioning look before remembering that he was the one to start the conversation in the first place.
"Right. I was wondering.... And this might be a little weird... And sudden. Really sudden," He sighs. "But could I... Like get your number?" he asks. I smile.
"You I could like... give you my number," I laugh, mocking him. He smiles as he hands me his phone. I take it and add a new contact.
"Thanks. I'll like... text you later," He smiles. I nod.
"I'll like... respond to your text," I giggle. He laughs before turning and walking away. I can't help the smile that finds its way onto my face as I finally reach the door and try to locate Romeo's truck. It turns out to be right in front of me and I roll my eyes at how blind I am.

'Like' is going to be their thing now 😂
