I'm sitting next to Brian during biology class, and he looks so beautiful when he's concentrated.

His hands is moving fast on the paper, that's how he takes notes. You cannot ask him questions or interrupt him when he's doing that, or else he'll get angry.

As I'm staring at his frantic writing, he looks in my direction for a brief moment, biting his bottom lip.

"Pay attention to the lesson Rog, not to my face."

He tries to be firm and serious, but I can easily notice the redness of his cheeks. I just lift the corner of my mouth, lazily writing some things on my paper. But instead of writing 'biology' I write 'Brian' on it, sighing silently after realizing it.

The lesson finishes and everyone leaves the room. Brian is packing his things, putting all the papers in his notebook.
I get up, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey... Can you explain me the things he said? I was... distracted."
I say, looking at my hands in shame.

He just  smiles fondly, kissing my forehead for no reason.

"Of course 'boo', let's go to the library."

He takes my hand, and I quickly intertwine our fingers together, looking at him in admiration.

He's a really smart person.

"...So it means that golgi body can only be found in eukaryotes, that is
made of several separate membrane-bound compartments, and it helps transport proteins and lipids to the correct locations."

I nod slightly, writing down the definition he just said.

"Okay, second definition: Capsule; they can be found ONLY in prokaryotes, a polysaccharide coaating that helps cells stick together and helps avoid our immune system."

He keeps talking, moving frantically his hands to emphasize his words. My mouth is slightly open as he speaks.

Brian is truly the smartest student in the whole class, everyone knows it. He remembers everything he reads, even if he reads it one time.

Nobody compares to him.

I stare at him with surprise, smiling a little.
Then I interrupt him:

"You're so great, I love you."

He stops talking, staring at me in shock.

"What was that...?"

"Nothing, I said you're great!"

"No, after that."

I start sweating, blushing violently.
Why can't I just shut up?

"I said that you're great then I stopped talking. Now, can we please go back to what we were doing??"

I beg, avoiding his eyes by gazing at the ground.

I hear him sigh heavily while he reads the next thing written on his paper so he can explain it to me.

"Rog?"

"Yes, Bri?"

He smiles at me, stroking my cheek gently.

"You're great too. I have never met someone as smart as you."

I shake my head, flattered by his words. My cheeks are officially burning now.

"Stop it. You're distracting me."

He chuckles, and I look up, amazed by how his eyes crinkle and his dimples show when he's laughing.

He looks so pretty when he does that.
