The beautiful tale of James and Johannakai

Cutely Annoying Couple

(still reading in Johannakai's POV)

Why? Why did I have to get a crush on a senior? He is leaving and I'm starting high school! We became friends through our mutual friends Sheep and Novie. We hit it off instantly. My friends knew I liked him so they made me talk to him. I Never did anything because I'm just a freshman. Now I'm sitting next to him at our band banquet watching the slide show made for the seniors crying. Silently crying. Over the fact that he is leaving. Over the fact that we never got to have a cute high school relationship were he walked me to all my classes and kissed me on the nose before going to his. Over the fact that he probably never would've liked me anyway and now I won't have any chance. He glances at me as I wipe away tears.

"No, no Johanna don't cry." James says his eyebrows knitted together in worry as he begins to rub my back.

I look up at him. He looked so good in his black dress pants and purple button up shirt, a silky black bow tie around the collar.

"I'm not gonna forget you, we will still hang out!" He says smiling.

"That's not why I'm crying" I mumble hoping he can't hear me. But he did.

"Why are you crying then?" James asks turning to me completely.

"I mean that's part of the reason but the big one is..stupid. Honestly." I start to say it but can't get it out.

"I bet it's not that stupid" James says placing his hand over mine.

"It's because..." do it. That's all I can think. Tomorrow is his last day at high school just do it. "I like you" I look down so I don't have to face the rejection. " A lot. And I know you don't like me back cuz I'm just a freshman but I can't help be sad over the fact that I've liked you for so long and we will never have that cutely annoying high school relationship where you walk me to class and kiss my nose outside the class room and we eat lunch together and study together. You're gonna go to collage and even though it's in state you're gonna meet hot collage girls and you're gonna fall for them. You would never date me I'm just a freshman and you're leaving tomorrow and I-" I'm cut off by my own silent sobs. I don't look up I'm to scared too.

"Johanna look at me." James says. I don't look up. I can't. I feel his hand go under my chin and tilt my head up to make eye contact with him. His eyebrows are furrowed a small smile on his lips that falters when he sees the tears rolling down my face. He whips away a tear.

"First of all you're not just a freshman. You are amazing and talented and funny, you deserve the world. Second I wish you would've told me all this sooner because then I could've been doing this the whole time"

Before I can ask what I feel James soft lips on mine. My eyes widen and I tense a bit before relaxing into the kiss. I close my eyes. The kiss is filled with love. True, undying love. We pull apart and my mouth is hung open in awe over the fact that he just did that and he chuckles. Suddenly everyone breaks out clapping and we look around to find eyes trained on us. We must have become more interesting than the slide show. I feel my face heat up as James friends yell stuff at us.

"It's about time!"

"Get some James!"

"Thank god it finally happened" "I know! The sexual tension was unbearable!"

I burry my face in his chest and he starts laughing wrapping his arms around me. I look at him my face still red.

"Tomorrow, i'll walk you to all your classes and kiss you on your nose. You'll sit in my lap at lunch and we will be that cutely annoying high school couple. Then after that we will be just the cutely annoying couple." James says smiling widely. I laugh.

"That sounds amazing" I say kissing his cheek. He pulls me into his lap for the rest of the banquet. Neither of us stop smiling

(ugh i just needed to write a high school oneshot with them. it was just too good to pass up on. + the age gap is a real thing even tho both Johannakai and James are older than senior and freashman in highschool)
