Hope

Day Three

Should I ask Savio to come over today after school, he did give me his cellphone number. Or I could just ask him after classes are done, we do have the same schedule after all. Yeah I'll ask after classes are over, I prefer talking over texting anyways. Oh that's the lunch bell, three more classes left. I got up and waited for him in the hall, we walked to our secret hiding spot and pulled out our lunches.

[I like sitting next to Savio, maybe I can ask him what this feeling is.]

"-ope! Hope! Are you okay? You've been spacing a lot today, and you barely touched your lunch."

Savio asked me, I guess he's been trying to get ahold of my attention for a while. I blink a few times to keep myself from entering my thoughts again, knowing that I have to let him know that I'm alright.

"I'm okay, just thinking about something."

I answered, noticing that he jumped at the sound of voice. I guess he wasn't expecting me to reply with properly, instead of nodding.

[Should I ask him now, I guess I sh-]

"About what?"

Savio asked quickly, pulling me out of my thoughts once more.

"You."

I answered, not even registering I had spoken. I ended up walking into him, since I didn't notice he had stopped. Finally realizing that I said that out loud, I felt my face heat up as I looked up at his face to see that he was blushing too.

[I wonder what other reactions I can get from him, he looks adorable when he's blushing.]

"Sorry that was uncalled for, but we should get to class before we're late."

I told him, after clearing my throat. I grabbed his hand and started leading him to our next class, looking back every so often to see a blush still plastered on his face.

[Cute...]

(Time~Skip)

"Hey Savio, do you want to come over to my place? I'll understand if you don't want to because of what happened after lunch, but I just wanted to ask."

I asked him, once we got onto the bus. I put my head down while forcing my tears back, until I felt  a pair of arms around me.

[I thought he hated me, but I'm glad he doesn't.]

"Of course I'll come over. And never hesitate to ask me anything, even if I'm in a bad mood."

He answered softly in my ear, his warm breath causing me to blush. Pulling away from the hug, Savio grabbed my hand and started pulling towards my house.

(Time~Skip)

As soon as Savio left my house, my mood instantly dropped. Sighing heavily, I started picking up the trash that was thrown across the floor emotionlessly. Not expecting the sudden knock on the door, I jumped and dropped the trash into a pile and answered the door.

"Can I stay the night, seems I forgot my keys at school."

Savio asked, nodding quickly I let him in with a smile and went back to picking up the trash with an unnoticed bounce in each step.

"Make yourself comfortable, I'll grab you a blanket and pillow in a minute."

I said softly, while picking up the last of the trash and throwing it away. Running upstairs, I grabbed an extra pillow and blanket from the closet. Racing back to my room to calm down and get ready for bed, I fell asleep with a gentle smile.
