stuffed my belongings into the single strapped bag and held the single journal in hand.

"See ya around, dude" Caleb Watson patted at my back, pushing his square goggles on the bridge of his nose.

"See ya around too" I nodded after exchanging a quick bro-hug with him and bid my 'goodbyes' before falling into steps in the corridor.

Almost running towards my locker, I keyed in the password and dumbed my stuff in.

"Dude!" Jonathan's voice spoke from the locker besides me, before I was given a bro-hug.

"I just met you an hour ago, John" I rolled my eyes at him and chuckled a little.

"Oh, yeah" he muttered, looking anywhere but me.

"What's up, Benz?" I inquired, folding my arms over my chest and slightly leaning against my locker.

"I... uh... you know... sixth period" he nervously mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You are nervous because of your project partner?" The sentence rolled off my tongue in much of an amusement, my left eyebrow rising on its on.

"I... NO!" he scuffed and started to pick his steps in the corridor.

A chuckle rumbled through my chest as I fell in tow with him.

"Now see who's wiped" I commented as a full laugh escaped my lips and through my arm across the beet red Jonathan's shoulders.

"Never mind" he countered back as we made our way down the corridor. A glint of pink lit his face, as his eyes looked sideways.

"Never said I was minding, was I?" I joked as we meet the rest of the Soccer team on our way.

⚪✶⚪

"Tomorrow at 8:30pm, so it is" I announced in between my mates and they all nodded in anticipation.

"We'll score this one, for sure" Elliot fist pumped and everyone else followed.

Bidding my 'goodbyes' I took long strides towards the brown wooden door with '' written in bold.

I simply would confess here, that I have never... repeat, never EVER have stepped in through this door. Not that I think too highly of myself or the hall behind this door is full of geeks or that I am a hot shot member of The Knight's (add wink here) and have now become the Captain or have I ever scored straight A+ in examinations in a fluke, which I don't by the way. I've never paid much interest to books to ever visit a library as such.

Hence, this would be the very first time my covered feet would actually touch the tiles and my smell senses would smell the scent of books inside.

"Hey Blake, wish me luck!" Jonathan's voice said in all seriousness as he patted onto my shoulder, half way to my approach, turning me around.

"Wow! Mr. Benz nervous?" I chuckled adding a wink.

"I... am... not... I don't know" he huffed and scratched the back of his neck.

I simply rolled my eyes and patted onto his back.

"You'll do just fine buddy, I know it. It's just a project anyway"

It's I've known him.

Uh! Or maybe it was that gorgeous chaos who would simply imbibe his soul out, if

John's head slowly bobbed as I patted reassuringly onto his shoulder, before he picked his pace towards the direction of the gym.

I amusingly shook my head and turned my attention back to the task in hand and took strides towards the door.

Halting in my tracks, I took a deep breath in and closed my eyes for tiny of a minute.

Here goes nothing...

Tightening my grip on the single bag strap, I opened my eyes and exhaled before tugging at the door nob.

A gasp was heard as soon I stepped in. All goggled eyes looked at me with their lips slightly apart, except the effeminate population - they had a line of fine blush lingering their cheeks as their eyes got simply glued to me.

No limb moved out of order and even Mrs. Lima looked at me as if I've suddenly grown a second head.

Ouch! This is going to hurt a bit or more, sting like a bee

My hand on its own moved and index finger tugged at the collar of my t-shirt as I nervously cleared my throat.

I produced a polite smile on my lips avoiding most of the stares, as I simply picked my steps into the room after closing the door as faintly as possible.

Taking long strides and finally moving half way in, I looked around from one head to the other in order to search that one familiar face.

It wasn't a few seconds later, that I spotted the very familiar brown head at the farthest table on the right corner of the hall. A jump happened to skip my steps as anticipation pounced in my body.

Her legs were illicitly propped on the top of the table, crossed over each other as her eyes looked back and forth between the pages of the book in her hand.

With my now well known habitude, I took my own time to walk while adoring what was before my eyes.

Just arriving near the table, I took in a deep breath before clearing my throat to get her attention.

Closing the book and putting it onto the table top, she simply parted her crossed feet and looked at me, before sighing and crossing them over again, moreover picking the book back up.

"Hi..."

"You can sit you know. That chair doesn't scream my consent" Her voice beat me quick, making me gasp a little from the sudden outburst.
