[Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I am Silent_Panda - obviously not my real name. This is a little love story that began with two best friends of mine messing around, shipping me with a guy in my class. I completed this story a few years ago. Reading it again, I come to love this story. WIth a few updates, I have decided to lift my chin up high and publish this. This was originally just a short story so yeah... This story is completely not true by the way. This is also the very first story I published. Some names might be weird and funny XD That's ok. I chose it on purpose.]
“I love him… But I wonder what he thinks of me…”
Tappy leaned against the doorframe and stared off into space.
“What do you mean what I think of you?” A voice suddenly chimed behind her.
Tappy jumped and spun around. She faced the owner of the voice and sucked in a short breath. Piercing brown eyes stared back at her behind those black, rectangular glasses. “W-who said it was you, Edwardo?!” She huffed, “and stop eavesdropping!”
Edwardo shrugged, “came to get some stuff from the classroom. You were in the way.” She moved away from the door to allow him to brush past her. He totally ignored the first part. She thought.
Tappy narrowed her eyes at him and watched him move towards his desk. I don’t even know why towards this guy I… She shook her head, her pony tail flopping around. Tappy glanced around the classroom and tucked back a piece of black hair that escaped her hair tie. She looked back at Edwardo, “Hey, can I ask you something?”
“Shoot.”
She hesitated. “If someone confesses to you, what would be your reaction?”
Edwardo turned to her and raised an eyebrow. “Okay… what the hell is up with you?”
“Answer my question…” She pushed.
Edwardo looked at the ceiling as if he was recalling the past. “I dunno… no-one has really confessed to me before,” he shrugged.
“What if someone did now? Would you accept?”
He paused. “Depends on who,” he said carefully.
“Ok…” Tappy sighed. This conversation is awkward as hell. “How do you think a girl should ask a guy out? If it was you, what would you like?”
“Dunno… straight forward I guess…”
“How straight forward? Like straight up?”
“Yeah… why are you asking me??” Edwardo questions. He folded his arms on his chest, obviously suspicious about the situation. Tappy couldn’t help but notice how the blue school uniform stretches across his chest.
“Because I want to… I want to know from a guy… how they would feel…” She went on quietly.
Edwardo studied her for a moment before relaxing his arms. He took a step forward and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. Tappy froze and stared at him. “Tappy,” he called softly. “What’s on your mind?”
Tappy broke away from his intense stare and bit her lip. He lifted her chin back up to meet his eyes. His face was so close that she could feel his fringe brush against her forehead. She felt trapped and stunned at their closeness. Edwardo was at least half a head taller than her so he would have to bend to be at eye level. He has beautiful eyes. She thought. Like they could just ensnare you and never let you go.
“Well?” He probed, snapping her out of her little fantasy.
It will be ok. Tappy glanced around the now empty room and fidgeted with her school uniform. She met his stare head-on and blurted out “I like you!”
