Grant's P.O.V

"Hey you're Grant right? I'm Drake!" He warmly greeted, sticking his hand out for me to shake. My clammy hands awkwardly rose up to shake hands with him. His fingers rapped around my hand as we awkwardly shook hands. His hands were really soft and warm. I was apparently too distracted on how his hands felt, when I noticed that I've been shaking his hand for the past two minutes straight. Oh god.

I awkwardly ripped my hand away and felt myself turning red in embarrassment. Gosh, I need life alert. I've fallen for this asshole and can't get the hell up.

He chuckled and sat in the seat next to me. He smells amazing. Honestly, this is the closest I've ever been to him. I have all the same classes that he does, but I always sit in the back while he usually sits in the front. I never had the guts to even properly approach him. 

Maybe this is my chance..

"So class, for this project, you will have about three weeks to work together with your partners and complete it. This project gives you almost a whole month to do, so I expect all projects in. Alright? I'll give you the last 20 minutes of the class to mingle with your partners and perhaps schedule when you guys will meet up or something. Whatever you kids do nowadays." Mr. Stylinson announced. Does this mean that I may even get to see him outside of school? Jesus Christ I'm freaking out right now..

"So.. Tell me about yourself Grant." Woah, he knows my name?

I swear I said that in my mind, but I guess I didn't since he answered again. "Of course I know your name. Besides from when partners were being announced, we have every class together for the semester." He grinned. I swear to God if he keeps grinning at me while we do this project I will burst. My hearts pounding in my chest right now as if it will burst any moment now..

"Oh yeah.. haha. Well, there's nothing interesting about me. What do you wanna know anyways?" I unsteadily asked.

Conversation with Drake, check.

For the last ten minutes of the period, we just spent it by sharing small details about ourselves and sharing a few laughs here and there. I think I'm going start looking forward to this class for the next three weeks..

We were laughing at who knows what, when the bell sounded throughout the campus indicating that the last period was over. Finally, I get to go home and sleep now. I'm actually quite disappointed that it's time to leave now. It was fun having a conversation with him.

"Hey, um, maybe we can exchange numbers? So we can get to know each other more and start scheduling days we'll meet up and stuff?" He stated, but it came out more as a question.

"Yeah sure," We handed our phones to each other, and entered our numbers as new contacts. When he gave my phone back, I looked up to say goodbye but noticed he was out of the classroom already.

I confusingly looked back at my phone, and instantly smiled at the fact that we just had a full on conversation then exchanged numbers. Man, this day can't get any better can it?

As I started walking home, I got a notification saying that I have an unread message.
