I was lost. He was right there but I just couldn't get to him. I often dream about this moment where I come up to him and ask him on a date. But it's so hard. I lacked the confidence but not the motivation.
I walked up, trying to look as brave as I could.
"I can do this,"I thought.
What if he says no? My brain thought unhelpfully.
Shut up. I think.
"Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness." Someone says. My head snaps up.
"Crap." Was all I could think, my head goes completely blank.
I start spluttering random things, "Hey. Um, uh, hi, uh I'm Albus. Um, Scorpius?"
He laughs. It's an angelic laugh. I want to kiss him right there.
"Nice to meet you Albus, I'm pretty sure we met before. After all, we've been in the same school for…7 years?" He says jokingly.
My mind is blank again. I didn't realize I was staring. Nor did I realize I was blocking the entire hallway.
"MOVE OVER CHILD. DON'T JUST STAND THERE!" Some kid screams, pushing me right into Scorpius.
I feel like I fit perfectly into his chest, like we were meant to be. He laughs again and pulls me aside to an empty corridor where we wouldn't be blocking people.
"So, what were you trying to say?" He asks.
I couldn't hold myself any longer; I kissed him there. It was sloppy, and awkward and weird, but it seemed alright. He froze under me, but after a while, he started to kiss back.
It was amazing.
