HIM [Finished]

THE STRANGER'S NAME

Days had pasted since I met the guy. I haven't even told my best friend about him. What is happening to me? We only met once and I feel this magnet drawing me closer to him. It's crazy because I didn't know much about him.
I walk into class the next day and see T. I sit by her since she's my only friend in the class. I got out my textbooks out of my bookbag and then.

 "Jay look we have a new student!" says T.

 "At this time of year?"

 I look up to see who this new kid is. I froze. It was the guy from a few days ago. We lock eyes again but the feeling was different this time. Was I having butterflies? I had to break this glance but he was too beautiful. It wasn't until he stopped staring at me that I snapped back into reality.

 "Class we have a new student." the teacher said.

 Something was off about him. He wasn't as peppy as when I met him. He looked sad, hurt even. I wanted to know why. But he probably didn't want anything to do with me. 

" Ricardo Wright" he said.

 Ricardo. His name was Ricardo. At that moment I took time to listen to his voice it was so deep. He sat down in the seat behind me. I pretend to act like I didn't know him. I just hope my best friend didn't catch on. I looked over at her and she was taking notes. I don't think she noticed. I felt his presence behind me. I had a daydream that he turn me around and kissed me. But I snapped out of it once I felt a pen tap my shoulder.

 "Hey don't I know you?" Cardo said.

" Um, no I don't think so." 

Are you stupid what were you thinking!

 " Wait I know you! Gummy bear guy right?" He said as he smiled. 

That was the first time I saw him smile. I wanted to take my clothes off and- coughs anyway. He remembered. He wasn't imaginary. I had to know him. 

"Okay class pick a partner the rest of the year." the teacher said as she passed out the papers. 

I stuck at history. But I think I can manage now that I have Cardo. 

"Hey do you want to be my partner?" He said as he looked at the assignment. 

"But you don't know me." I say.

 Damn he so fine.

 "You seem cool, plus I need a friend. " he laughs.

 "Yeah sure."

 If someone would have told me he was my soulmate I would have laughed. No way can a straight guy could be into me ... Right?
