I anxiously fiddled with my hoodie strings while waiting for the cute boy from my science class to come out of the restroom. We were on a school trip at the Bronx zoo. We had all been assigned a partner and an animal or insect in the zoo to do a presentation on. My partner is Peter Parker, an adorably nerdy boy. 

I pulled out my phone, opened Instagram, and began scrolling through my feed. I notice a pretty butterfly land on a flower nearby. Quickly, I opened my camera app and knelt down, looking for the perfect angle.

I snapped a picture of the beautiful blue and green butterfly. I went back to Instagram and posted the picture. As I was admiring my photo, someone came up behind me.

"Wow," they said, startling me. "You're really good with a camera."

"Thanks." I shot him a quick smile.

"What's your Insta?" He asked, returning the grin.

"It's (s/m/h)." I told him. He quickly pulled out his phone and a second later I got a notification from Instagram.

He put away his phone and smiled at me. It was hard not to stare at his perfect skin and gorgeous hair glistening in the sunlight.

"Can I take some pictures of you?" I asked him.

"Sure." His smile grew. I told him where to sit and how to pose and, as my mom says, worked my magic. I snapped about 5 photos of him and the gorgeous background.

"Done." I said as I sat down next to him. He looked over my shoulder as I carefully examined each photo. "Do you mind if I post these?" I asked him and he grinned.

"Of course not, but only if you take a selfie with me." 

I blushed. I loved doing photography, I just never took pictures of myself. I'm a little camera shy.

"Ok." I said and opened my camera app again. In the first photo, we were sitting next to each other and just smiling at the camera. In the second, Peter rested his chin on my shoulder, our cheeks touching. In the third picture, he kissed me on the cheek. I blushed furiously.

He couldn't of meant anything by it. We barely know each other.

"Those are really cute. You look really nice." He said as he admired the selfies. "This one's my favorite." He pointed to the one where his pink lips were against my cheek.

"Mine too." I said softly, slightly embarrassed by the effect that this boy had on me.

"Send me those?" He asked and I nodded in response. I dmed him the selfies and the other photos I took of him.

I posted the photos of us and the picture of the butterfly with the caption "Float like a butterfly 🦋, sting like a bee 🐝" and tagged Peter.

A few moments later, I got a notification.

pete_park tagged you in a photo

I clicked on the notification. The first photo he had selected was the one where he kissed me, then the others followed.

His caption was "Zoo day with bae 😘"

Bae? I blushed after reading the caption.

"Peter?" I put my phone in my pocket and turned to face him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Are you ready to go learn about butterflies?"

He smiled and nodded. We walked to the butterfly garden hand in hand, talking and laughing. 

It was a good day.
