Love at first slap?

Chapter 3

My teacher has a very stern look on her face as she gives a glare to Hayes. You begin to shake like a child during a storm. So Hayes discreetly wraps his arm around my back. The teacher doesn't really notice so that doesn't matter for anything. You both get sent to the office and he holds my hand the whole way there. The only thing is before today Hayes and I haven't talked much. We sat on the bus a few times. And he does come to my house often to hang out with my brother. Now all of my thoughts about that stuff clear as I arrive to the old cracked door that says OFFICE. I walk in and ask if the principle is available and the petite lady sitting at the desk just gives a little look up before looking down at her pile of paper again. She mumbles, "sit down." I then notice that my parents and his parents are there waiting for me.
