Stu's POV:

At first I was angry when a brunette girl I had never seen before bumped into me. It was already late and I didn't want to miss the first lesson completely.
But as I looked closer at her, my anger faded away. She was a real beauty and I almost got lost in her incredibly blue eyes.
"I-I'm so sorry. Hopefully I d-didn't hurt y-you." Came a quiet apologize and her big blue eyes stared up into mine, something, that seemed like fear to me, shining in them.
Actually I had to smile, just because she looked so pretty but at the same time it made me sad to see her being scared of me.
Also she looked so innocent and cute that I really couldn't be mad at her.

"It's alright, luv. It's my fault as well." I smiled at her and saw her facial expressions soften up as she realized that I wasn't angry. And after a short while there was even a shy smile playing on her lips.
"It's strange that I've never seen you before.."

"I-I'm new here... And actually I can't find my class" She frowned as she spoke those words. "Can you please help me to get there?"
"I'd love to!" I nodded and smiled reassuringly at her before layingy my arm around her shoulders. The girl told me in which class she was supposed to be and I led her the right way.

When we finally arrived at the right room she thanked me, giving me a slight smile. She was just about to knock on the door when I realized that I didn't want her to leave my life as quick as she had entered it. So I gripped her arm to stop her from knocking.
"Wait! I'd like to see you again.. Would you allow me to take you out for a coffee after lessons?"
Her small smile grew a bit brighter and she whispered while freeing her hand from my grip and knocking on the door. "That sounds good. Well, see you after school at the next corner then..."
She looked at me with her bright blue eyes and quickly disappeared into her classroom.

At first I just stood there, leaned against the wall, and grinned to myself.

Wow she's a beautiful girl. It's a shame that I've never seen her before. She seems quite shy but I think, I'm starting to like her already..

My thinking got interrupted when I glanced at my watch.
"Damn, I'm almost twenty minutes late.." I groaned to myself before quickly hurrying off to my class.

Lucy's POV:

When I had entered the room, everyone was staring at me and trust me, it was a rather awkward moment. But luckily I could excuse my lateness with the fact that I couldn't find the room. The teacher had frowned at me but he didn't really seem to care so I just took a seat and tried to act as inconspicuous as possible.

I had to think of that handsome guy all the time and I doubt that I ever paid any attention to the teachers on that day. The whole time I was looking out of the window and enjoyed that weird feeling inside of me; a feeling of happiness and nervousness at the same time. The thought of someone finding me attractive and asking me out made my mind go fuzzy. And the fact that the guy also was pretty good looking made it even harder to think straight.

It seemed like that school day never wanted to end and it felt like years to me.
As the last lesson was over, I sighed in relief and stood up to pack my stuff quickly just like the other students around me. But the others were much faster and I was the last one to leave the class room.
I hurried down the hallways and surprisingly I didn't bump into someone although my mind was elsewhere.
Would that handsome guy really be there? Honestly I doubted it, since I really wasn't more than a boring, shy and awkward girl. I was sure he would have found someone better to go out with or would have just forgotten about me after the excitement of the moment was gone.
Well, at least I can try to look for him at the corner.. I thought to myself and headed to the corner where we had planned to meet after the last lesson. But when I arrived no one was to be seen and my heart sunk. So my assumptions he would have forgotten about me have been right...
"Maybe he'll come a bit later though," I mumbled to myself and leaned against the wall, dejectedly eyeing the passing people.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

I had been waiting for ten minutes already when I decided the guy wouldn't show up anymore so I sadly turned to go back home. But to my huge suprise I suddenly heard a voice -his voice- behind me and all my disappointment was gone immediately as I stopped to look at him.

"Wait! Please don't go!" The guy ran up to me and stopped beside me, panting and propping his arms on his knees. He relaxed from running for a while then he continued, "I'm so sorry you had to wait but I couldn't leave class any sooner.. My teacher wanted me to help her carry some stuff to the staff room.. I'm sorry."

For the next seconds I just glared at him, not quite sure if he was saying the truth or not. But I finally came to the decision that if he had no interest in meeting me, he wouldn't make up excuses and just wouldn't have showed up at all. And since his expression seemed truly sorry, I eventually shook my head and smiled softly.
"It's alright, don't worry. It only matters that you're here now.."
I could see how relief washed over his face and his expressions lightened up at my words.
"Thank you." He whispered and smiled happily before I linked my arm with his and we began to walk down the sidewalk.
