Rex's POV
I wish I could tell her how I feel but my friends wouldn't let me since they say that it will "ruin" my "reputation"... Whatever that means. As class is going on, I lose my concentration just thinking of Lily. Wait, why do I here my name echoing everywhere?
The teacher calls my attention
"Rex, Rex? Rex! Rex!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Please continue"
After the class, my friends told me to meet the most popular girl at school and that to meet her after school *sigh* might as well do it... Besides Lily wasn't there yesterday to see me, she was there for something else... I probably should forget about her. Oh snap! I'm late for my next class!!

Lily's POV
Do you think he likes me? I mean he WAS stuttering... Nah, he probably likes some other girl who's prettier and more popular than I am...

"Lily? Are you alright? You look so depressed. Was it about yesterday? You should be happy you got to see him again." Jennica asks with a worried expression

"Yeah. I'm fine and I am happy but he was just there to look for a friend... I gotta go, Jennica. It's time for my next class and I can't be late. See ya after class!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bell rang and Lily was late for class so she ran as fast as can when suddenly a strange guy bumped into her and she dropped her books
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. Here, let me help you with that." Said the guy

"No thank you. I have to go. I'm late for class" Lily says

As Rex helps her with her books, Lily noticed that she also dropped the feather that led her to Rex. She grabs it quickly and looks at the guy. She sees the guy and notices that it was Rex!

"Rex! Umm... What are you doing here? Classes are starting you're late! And now I am too"

" I know but I gotta help you somehow"

" I told you, I have to go and you don't have to help me."

Lily grabbed her books from Rex and ran away to her next class. As she got there, the teacher was upset why she was late and she explained everything except for who she bumped into.

Meanwhile, Rex was also scolded for tardiness. And after the bell rang, they both were
A bit shy and surprised. But they also started thinking what they could've done if they stayed longer with each other in that hallway...
