I stared intently at the clock in the front of the class room. It seemed to be taunting me, each tick screaming that it was one less second until I would talk, alone, about something, with my crush. I started to panic slightly. What if I freak out?! What if I can't talk?! I ran my fingers through my hair and closed my eyes. ' Mr. Fuentes, is there a problem?'The sound of my teacher's voice pierced my thoughts. I sat up quickly and looked into her eyes. 'Uh, yes. Just thinking..' I trailed off. ' Well make sure you're paying attention.' she sighed. I nodded but went back to thinking. She rolled her eyes and got back to the last of what ever she was talking about. Before too long, the dismissal bell rang and the hallways were jam packed with kids. Some where high school and some where middle, it was a mixed school. It was hard for me to weave through because I was going the opposite direction of everyone else. I finally got to the courtyard and saw a single, skinny figure with black hair standing in the middle. It was Kellin of course. I coughed to get his attention. He turned around, his face was fixed with a nervous smile. He waved me to come over to where he stood. I walked slowly towards him, trying to think of what to say at the last minute. He looked nervous, but why? I'm not intimidating, I know that for sure. I got to him faster than I wanted to and just stood there awkwardly. Was he going to say something or nah? ' Uh, um, uh h-hi , Vi-Vic.' He stuttered out. ' Hi Kellin.' I replied as smoothly as I could. ' What did you want to talk about?' I hope I wasn't pressuring him. He seemed pretty nervous. ' Oh, uh uh well I , I kinda, I just...' I held my hand up, gesturing for him to stop. ' You don't have to be so nervous, Kellin. It's just me.' He nodded and looked up from the ground. ' I came here, told you to come here, so I could talk to you. About, something. It's uh, kinda, you know, personal.' He whispered the last word. I nodded him on and he took a deep breath. ' Vic, I don't know what it is... And I felt like, well ya know, since it's Valentine's Day ..... I just, you, you're hot. Like, sexy. And, I think I might sorta kinda like you. A LOT. ' I couldn't believe my ears. This was the best thing that'd happened to me since, well, ever. He stood there in front of me, biting his lip and tugging at the collar of his shirt. ' Kellin, I l, I don't k ow what to say..' His looked down again. ' Oh, well uh if you don't feel the same it's ok, I kinda th-' ' No! I mean uh no, no I do feel the same. I do.' I grabbed his cold pale hands. 'I like you too Kellin. A lot. I didn't mean for it to come out like that. Forgive me?' He looked up and nodded slowly with a smile. ' Now it's my turn to ask a question...' Kellin said with a smirk. ' Will you go out with me Vic?'
