Sing to me

It's been about 2 weeks since our last date. Today is technically our one month anniversary. Our parents found out about us about a week ago  and they were all very supportive. It's summer holidays In about a month, so that's something to look forward to.
I step out of the house in my summer school uniform, which is just a normal school dress and meet Ruel outside.

There he is standing in my driveway with his hands in his pockets. His hair has started to grow longer but he says he's going to get it cut next week. He promised me he would not get rid of the precious curtains.
"Hi gorgeous!" I say walking towards him and giving him a big cuddle.
"How ya doing little one?" He says in a deep voice
" I'm alright, you?" I ask with a big smile. He leans into kiss me and the leans back.
"Hmm better now" he says with a smug grin.
I playfully hit him in the shoulder before looping arm with his and walking to school.
After not long we arrived at school and for some reason everyone was staring at me. I don't know why but everywhere I walked I got an odd look.
As we approached our lockers I see people crowding around mine. I give Ruel an odd look before squeezing past all the people to see my locker.

I finally make my way through and see my locker covered in flowers and the words 'turn around'. I do as the words say and see ruel holding a sign that says 'please go to formal with me'. I can't stop myself from laughing as I run over to him and give him the biggest cuddle possible.
"Is that a yes?" He says chuckling.
"I'd say so" I say giving him a big slipping kiss. The crowd cheered around us as I cuddled into his chest.
I turn my head to see molly and peter scowling in the distance but at this moment I couldn't care less.

After about 10 minutes everyone cleared from my locker and I'm left to look at the masterpiece he had made.
"Did you do this yourself?" I ask as he wraps his arms around my waist from behind.
"Yep, woke up at 4:30 this morning to do it"
He says against my neck.
"It's beautiful" I whisper.
Ruel leans forward and plucks a flower off my locker. He gently places it in my hair.
"Beautiful things should stick together" he smiles look into my eyes.
"Then you must stay around me at all times" I reply.
"That's fine with me" he replies happily.
Just then the bell rings, signalling us to class.

Today was a project day so I literally had art the entire day in order to finish our major projects of the year. I walk into the studio to start my artwork. I look at it unimpressed. I know I can do better but I've just gone blank.
I continue to work on the piece as my teacher walks by. "Disappointed, I know you have more in you" she says as she walks by. My heart sinks, I know I have more in me as well, however I just can't seem to find it. My painting is so bland, so overdone. There's no emotion.

Finally it's lunchtime. I walk down to the oval and see ruel lying in his usual spot. I walk over before growing myself on top of him.
"I'm sleepy" I say as I lay on his lap.
"Me too" he says stroking my hair.
"My art project sucks ass" i day looking up at him
"My music project sucks ass" he replies.
"Our projects suck ass together" I say smiling.
"Almost anything can seem a little bit better if it involves you" he says leaning down to kiss me. Our lips connect and I feel so much better. Hopefully things will just fall into place.
