Matt: " Hi! Yeah, sure if you still want me to tutor you, that is"

Leo: "Of course, you're probably the smartest kid in that class, so I would appreciate your help"

Leo: "When do you want to meet up?"

Matt:" Well, I usually work on the weekends, but I'm usually done by 7:00 pm, but if you'd rather on week days then it's fine with me too, I don't usually do much after school"

Leo: "Then what about tomorrow? I have football practice but I'm probably ready at 6 pm. That ok with you?"

Matt:" Yeah sure that'll do."

Leo:" Great!"

Leo:" Also, sorry if it's already late"

Matt: " It's ok, I couldn't sleep either way so it's fine"

Leo:" Oh. I couldn't sleep either... Do you want some company?"

Leo:" We could play a game?"

Oh my god, this is actually happening!! I'm talking to my long time crush through text and he wants to keep talking to me! That's it, I'm dreaming!

Matt: "Sure! what game?"

Leo: "What about would you rather?"

Matt: "Ok, sounds like fun. You go first"

Leo:" Ok..."

Leo:"Would you rather lose all of your money and valuables or all of the pictures you have ever taken?"

Matt:" Oh wow, that's a hard one. You know your stuff..."

Matt:" IDK, probably money and valuables... I mean, pictures are memories, they keep moments alive... money can always be gained back"

Leo:" That's actually a really good answer... ok your turn"

Matt: "Ok, Would you rather live in the wilderness far from civilization or live on the streets of a city as a homeless person?"

Leo:" Mmm, Wilderness. I mean, no one would judge me and I could live by my own rules and become a badass. Then I could always come back and become a superhero"

Matt:" I knew you had at least a little bit of nerd inside you, Leonardo Bryant"

Leo: "C'mon, everyone likes superheroes! But ok, maybe I am a bit of a nerd..."

Matt:" So the great Leo is a closeted nerd... ahah, don't worry, your secret is safe with me"

Leo:" I know, I trust you. I don't know why, but I do..."

I blush and smile like an idiot... by myself in the dark...

Matt:" And I appreciate that trust. I won't break it, at least not on purpose"

Leo:" I know"

Leo:"Anyway, my turn to ask a question!"

Leo:"Would you rather your shirts be always two sizes too big or one size too small?"

Matt:" That's easy! Two sizes too big! I love big clothes, they're comfy!"

Leo:" Ok, Mr. Smart Pants, your turn"

Matt:"Would you rather have a horrible job, but be able to retire comfortably in 10 years or have your dream job, but have to work until the day you die?"

Leo:" Dream job! I mean if it's your dream job, why would ever want to retire?!"

Matt:" My thoughts exactly!"

Matt:"Anyaway...your turn"

We played 'would you rather' for about half an hour and now we're just kind of talking about everything and anything and started playing '21 questions'.

Leo:"Who would you most like to sit next to on a 10 hour flight and why?"

Matt:"Probably John Green. I mean, I love his books and he looks like such a fun guy. At least I'd be entertained."

Leo:" Good answer"

Leo: "We should probably sleep, I mean, it's almost 2 am and we have to walk up in like 5 hours..."

Matt:"Yeah, well, guess I'll see you tomorrow"

Leo: "Goodnight Matt"

Matt:"Goodnight Leo"

And with that I went to sleep feeling all smiley and giddy.

------------------------

I'm not gonna lie, it was hard waking up today. I already had like two cups of coffee and I still feel like sleeping.

My mom wasn't home when I woke, so she probably already left for work, why doesn't that surprise me?

After I dropped Chris off at school, I came to my school and am now taking the books for today's classes out of my locker. I look at my watch and see I still have about ten minutes and decide to just rest my head for a couple of minutes, just...close my eyes for a second...

I jolt and bump my head against the locker when I feel a tap on my shoulder. Seeing as it's probably either John or Macy (or both) seeing as no one else usually talks to me, I just start ranying while sorting my books, " Seriously you guys, why must you guys keep hurting me like this? I mean I already told you I'm very smooth and that I'd be a great ninja so I don't see the point in you scaring me like th-"when I finally turn around and see that's not John or Macy, which is already weird, but I find myself staring straight at green eyes. Damn them eyes.

Crap, I just did all those embarrasing things in front of Leo. Oh man... let this be a dream!!

"Are you ok? I didn't mean to scare, I just kinda saw you asleep on your locker and thought it'd be a good idea to wake you up. I didn't think you'd get that startled," Leo says.

"Oh, no it's fine really," I answer blushing. Man, I sure do blush a lot around him.

"I just wanted to know if we're still up for tutoring later?"

"Umm, yeah, definitely!"

"Ok cool, see you around then," Leo finishes and walks over, but not before giving me a small smile, which I consider myself very lucky for being the one receiving such a beauty that are Leo's smiles.

After that the bell rings and off I go to classes.

--------------------------------

The day was boring today. Like, literaly, nothing happened, it was just a plain, normal, boring day.

I had classes, luch, John talked about Charlotte, Macy talked about Ethan and I listened. Then school ended, I picked Chris up from school and now I'm watching TV with my brother while waiting for Leo to show up for tutoring.

And just then, I hear a knock at the door and immediately run to it, but just before I open the door I stop for a bit and think...maybe I should wait a bit...I don't want him to know that I did run to the other because I can't wait to see him.

Ok, stop overthinking, just take a deep breath and open the door...

Oh my god, he's hotter than I remember. His hair is still wet, probably from showering and even though he's not wearing anything out of the ordinary he still manages to look freakishly hot.

"Hey!" He says and smiles at me.

"Hi! Come on in," I answer excitedly. Maybe a little too excitedly...

"Thanks."

"Um, we can just study in the dining room. This way" I tell him and follows me.

"Would you like anything," I ask.

"Sure, water if you don't mind," he answers.

"Sure, just, um, sit down on the table and make yourself at home and I'll be right back."

I go to the kitchen and fill in a glass of water for me and another for Leo and decide to bring some chips too.

"Ok, so...you ready to start?" I ask once I sit next to him. We're kind of close. He smells really good, man...

"Matt!"

"What? Sorry, kind of spaced of for a wile..."

"Yeah, I figured... anyway, let's start."

We study for about an hour, until Chris comes in.

"Hi, Matt's friend!"

"Chris, don't be rude! That's Leo, you've met him before," I scold Chris.

"Oh, yeah! I remember! Anyway, I'm hungry, can we eat?"

"Oh yeah, sure, I guess we lost track of time... Anyway, feel like ordering some pizza?" I ask Chris.

"Yes!" And with that he runs back to the living room.

"Ok then... good to know he only wants me for food," I say and laugh. Then I remember that Leo was there throughout the whole experience. "Oh, um, yeah, would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Sure, if it's not a bother..."

"If it was I wouldn't have invited you."

"Good point."

He puts his books back inside his bag while I order the pizzas and then we move to the living room and watch TV with Chris while waiting for the pizzas.

The rest of the night went like that... talking and socializing and pizza and all that. It was fun. Really fun.

But it wasn't until Leo made eye contact with me that I realize I was staring at him and when I look at his eyes... that's when I realize that maybe what I'm feeling isn't just a crush anymore. And I'm not so sure that's a good thing.
