Carrot was so nice. There was a reason I don't talk to him. From last year, I see that he doesn't communicate well with fruits. But he has changed a little bit.
"Apple! Don't you see how he talks to you?" Honeydew started.
"Yea why?" I said. My stomach was hurting like shards of glass was puncturing it.
"CARROT LIKES APPLE!" Lemon said. Apparently, Carrot didn't hear her because he didn't look back.
"Shut it." I said.
"Hey, why did you give him your paper?" Honeydew said with a smirk.
"Okay fine I'll get it back." I said. I walked to his desk and I saw Peas holding it. Carrot saw me and stopped writing.
"Can I have my paper back?" I said. Peas was teasing me but then, when he wasn't looking, I quickly grabbed my paper away.
"Screw you Apple." Peas said. I took a curt glance to see Carrot's face, but he wasn't looking back.
Why did you even help me. Well, you did it in Maths, our favourite subject, my everything. The only class I feel happy in and my longing is about destroy it.

Professor Apricot put the class having the next 1 hour having Algebra III drills. Carrot keep coming to me and asking stuffs, I bet he already know.
One time he came to me.
"Carrot." I said. He looked at me. He was pale compared to the other veggies in the class, a fact that I can't stand.
"What?" He said. I paused.
"Oi." He said.
"Stop coming to me. You have questions, then ask Pineapple, she is a math whiz, too." I said. Carrot didn't say anything and left.
"Apple, what are you doing." Honeydew said.
"I don't like him. He is weird." I said.
"What weird?" Lemon said.
"He helped me recover, well, I didn't tell you guys Aubergine shut me off in NatTrack, but I told Carrot. Somehow he kept coming to me made me feel happy again. But I don't like him." I said.
"That means he likes you. Yes, Peach was right!" Honeydew said.

It was dismissal and walked straight to his desk. He looked up at me.
"What?" He said.
"List the digits in the golden ratio." I said.
"1.61803398875." He said unhesitatingly.
"My turn." He said.
"List the first 50 digits of pi."
" 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679." I said as I ran out breath.
"Oh my carrot stew, I love you." Carrot said. I smiled and my tongue was numb I was speechless.
Or maybe, I do like you.
