I was late to school and it was my first day at this new school. Wow, what a great start to the year. Anyway, I went to the office to pick up my schedule before heading to my locker. There, I dropped off my backpack and headed to my third hour class.
When I finally found the pre-calculus classroom, I walked in slowly and went to the teacher's desk to introduce myself. She nodded and said something along the lines of, "Go sit next to that red head that will probably talk to you nonstop." She didn't actually say that. Instead, she had said, "You can sit next to August. August, raise your hand so he can find you." Sitting down, I noticed how short he was. His messy ginger hair made his hazel eyes stand out. I glanced over at him before opening my folder. I noticed how August kept looking over at me. While I was studying my music, he tapped me on the shoulder, causing me to jump a little. I glared at him as he whispered to me while motioning to my music, "You in band?" I nodded, which seemed to make him ask, "What instrument do you play? My sister plays flute." Softly, I replied, "I also play flute...." I looked down, expecting him to laugh at me, make fun of me, or call me gay. When I glanced up to see what he would do, he was smiling widely; he said, "Cool. At lunch, maybe we can discuss if you could help my sister practice?" I nodded and smiled slightly. I looked away as I felt my face heating up from his stare. I put my music away and found a note card in my pencil case. On the card, I wrote down my number with a smiley face. When August wasn't looking, I slid the paper into the cover of his clear binder.
When the bell rang, I didn't want to be late to my next class, so I quickly gathered my stack of books and speed walked out of the room. August caught up to me and greeted, "Hey, again. What class are you going to?" Looking at my schedule, I replied, "Study hall. Um, do you think you could show me where that is?" He smiled, "Sure thing. Follow me!" As we continued walking, he grabbed my hand. I looked away from him as I felt my face get red. I thought, 'Oof, it's only my first day and I already have a crush on a guy who is most likely straight...'
