First Love

Headaches

"Damien, come downstairs you're going to be late for school!" my mom screamed. 

"Alright," I screamed back.

I run downstairs with my jacket halfway off my body. My mom greets me with a huge smile on her face as usual. It's been different without my dad here and I can't say that I'm mad about it.

"Have a good day sweetie," my mom says as I walked out the door. 

As I start making my way to school some kid rams into me causing me to fall as all of my items that were previously in my hand dropped into some muddy water. I sit there dumbfounded as he stares down at me looking guilty. I was about ready to knock him the hell out until he spoke.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to knock you over!" he said as I gather my stuff that fell into the water. Looking disgusted I get up and walk right by him without sparing him a single glance. 

Once I got to school, I noticed that kid that made me fall earlier in the hallway. His skin was crystal clear and his hair was so curly.  He finally spoke which shook me out of my thoughts.

"I didn't know you went here," he said. "Well now you do," I said looking uninterested and ready to leave. 

"U-Um, yeah so about what happened earlier I didn't mean to knock you down like that I was in a rush," he said as he scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Whatever, don't worry about it," I said as the bell started to ring I began to walk off. He grabs my arm and I stop and look back at him just to see him looking at me with his hazel eyes. Everyone was walking past us but he never stopped looking at me. As I look down at his cheeks, a color of crimson red splashed onto his face I feel my face heating up as I turn back around releasing myself from his grasp, and walk down the hallway in search of my class.

After 5 minutes of searching for my class, I felt a familiar pair of eyes on me. I turned around and saw that kid was in my class. 

Just my luck

I try to look for a seat but they were all taken except for the one next to him. I decide to go sit next to him. I guess it's fine I just hope he doesn't try to start a conversation. He gently nudges my arm so I turn to look at him. 

"What's your name?" he whispers.

Speak of the devil.

I was reluctant in answering at first but I figured this might make him shut up.

"Damien." 

"Oh, that's a nice name. My name is Dante," he responded sounding way too hyper. "Cool," I said hoping he'd shut up.

"I haven't seen you around here much are you new?" he said but the teacher heard us talking and decided to call it out. 

"I'll wait." the teacher said as if we were still talking. I decided to stay quiet because making a smart remark took too much energy that I just did not have right now. 

It was a long and boring class. I swear even my teacher was wondering why she was teaching this bullshit. 

After the class was over I got up and rushed into the hallway and made my way to lunch. I sat down near the back of the cafeteria with my plate of food and started eating. Not even a few minutes later I pick my head up and see Dante coming towards me with his food in his hand. He sat down across from me.

"Is it cool if I sit here?" 

"No, I prefer to be alone," I say hoping he'd walk away. "Cmon, please...!" he said with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine." 

After a few minutes of eating in silence, he decided to speak up. 

"S-So by any chance would you like to go somewhere after school? Maybe like an arcade or something?" he said with those damned adorable hard to say no to fucking eyes. "Now you're pushing it," I said with no emotion. "I know, I know but I want to know more about you," he said like it was no big deal.

"Tough shit," I said but he just sat there staring at me waiting for me to give in. I sigh in defeat. 

"Fucking fine," I say as he starts smiling like an idiot. 

"I knew you'd say yes!" he says as he stares at me with the biggest smile on his face. 

He'll be the end of me
