Tigress was on the classroom, she was the remaining student there. The rest of her friends had already hurried out to get lunch while she calmly stayed behind to fix what was left of their art classroom. She sighed and picked up some cut out papers, then she went on to cleaning the tables.
Once she was done, she picked up her backpack and looked around her, making sure everything was in place. However, she noticed underneath a chair. Po's chair to be exact. She shook her head, leave it to Po to forget his notebook.
As soon as she picked it up it slipped out of her hands. She groaned, but just as she was going to pick it up again she noticed a doddle on the page it opened to. She tilted her head.
Why did it said her name? Was that a heart around it? She shook her head. No, she was probably hallucinating. But curiosity killed her and soon enough she opened the notebook again.
Yes, that was her name.
T+P
Tigress and a heart.
Tigress in cursive
A small messy doddle of her.
She laughed and her cheeks absent-mindlessly started to heat up. She flipped the pages and found more doodles of her. At least there was always a heart with her initial on her. She watched each of the markings with tenderness.
How did Po managed to hide this from her? Did the others new about his crush on her? And..was she so oblivious to him?
She heard some footsteps approaching and she quickly snapped the book closed. Po came in moments afterwards, catching his breath and panting.
"Hey Tigress, I was-"
"Searching for this?" She said, extending the notebook towards him. Po widened his eyes and quickly snatched it away.
"Y-yeah," he stuttered, trying to avoid her gaze. But the girl wouldn't let him.
"I saw some doodles on it," she began. Po tensed up.
"Why did you have my name on it?" She asked him and that made the boy start shaking.
"How much did you see?" he asked her. The girl rolled her eyes,
"Everything."
"Oh." There was a brief moment of silence between the two before Po started talking again.
"I can explain. It-"
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Tigress interrupted him. Po shut his mouth and as always, he started to shift his weight between his feet.
"I…I didn't want to make things awkward," he whispered. Tigress shook her head and offered him a smile. She set one hand on his shoulder, making his eyes meet hers.
"That didn't work out to well then, did it?" Po chuckled. Tigress smiled at him, some of her red curls poking her cheeks. She bit her bottom lip an then leaned forward. Her small soft lips pressed softly against his and as soon as the sparks flew, she parted.
"I hope I can see more of those doodles later," She said, grabbing his hand and eager to join the others for lunch.
