Sing to me

~Stephanie's pov ~
The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face. I didn't exactly know what Ruel and I were but at least we were something. But what if he's changes his mind, what if he were drunk last night and was going insane, but he didn't smell like alcohol. I get out of bed and grab my phone .
Good morning xx- ruel
I smile at my phone before walking into the bathroom. I put on some deodorant and put on my school uniform. I brush my hair and let it fall into natural waves. I put on a little bit of mascara before grabbing my blazer off the back of my desk chair. It was cold today, winter is nearing us. I grab my bag my usual banana off the counter before walking out the door. On my driveway stands Ruel looking down at his phone. Shit I forgot to reply to his message and left him on read. I walk closer and see him looking down at his screen. As my footsteps get louder he turns his head and looks at me with a smile.

Before he can say anything I lean into to give him a big hug. I head rests against his chest and I breath in his scent. He didn't really smell like any specific perfume, I guess he just smelled like boy, but clean boy not gross and sweaty boy. The warmth's from his body transfers to mine.
"It's cold today" I whisper into his chest. He nods and leans down to kiss my head.
" do u want my jumper?" He asks breaking the hug and opening his bag.
"No what if u get cold?" I ask him not wanting to take warmth away from him.
"If I get cold, I will be a big boy and get over it, but you on the other hand need to stay warm." He says handing me his wool school jumper. It was just a black jumper with a v neck, standard school attire however it was very oversized on me as I was nowhere near as tall as him.
"Thankyou" I say as I slide it over my head.
As I pull it over my head my hair becomes static and plops over my face.
"You look adorable" Ruel says looking at me.
"Thanks this is probably my bet look yet" I say giving him a spin and then putting my blazer on top of the jumper.

Ruel and I walk to school just like normal but today something was different. About halfway through our walk i felt something lightly knock into my hand. I look down and see ruel's hand eerily close to mine. I decide to make a quick decision and hope he likes it. I grab his hand and lace my fingers through his and continue to walk as if nothing happened. Ruel looks down at me and laughs.
"You're not very smooth" Ruel chuckles
"Yeah, but I got what I wanted" I say lifting up our hands.
"Touché" He says as he lifts my hand up to hind mouth and gives it a big smooch. A blush spreads across my cheeks as I look down at the ground.

Eventually both Ruel and I made it to school. As we walk through the halls, people stare at our connected hands and as he sees me getting nervous he only tightens his grip.
"You're  the prettiest girl here" Ruel whispers into my ear.
"Pfft that's a lie" I scoff
"Do I look like a man that would lie?" Ruel asks
"No, but u look like a boy that's trying to impress a girl" I smirk back
" I mean, I feel like that's pretty obvious" Ruel says facing me as we are besides our lockers.
He pulls me in by the waist and hugs me again. Jeesh he's a clingy boy, but that's good, I like clingy boys it shows they care.
"Have I told you you're beautiful" he says as his arm wraps around my waist.
"Maybe once or twice" I say looking up at him.
"Come on, we got to get to class, I'll see you at home room, okay?" I ask as I pull away
He nods his head and pouts waiting for me to kiss him, instead I kiss his cheeks and then walk away. He's going to get me back somehow but that a problem for another time.
