His enthusiasm took me by surprise. "Uhm I .. what just happened?"
Darren shrugged and said: "That lesson was about the most boring thing ever, so I figured you could show me around a bit." He grinned cheekily.
Now that he wasn't sitting anymore, I could look at him properly for the first time. He was not very tall, something like 5'8, but still a bit taller than me. The top buttons of his plain white T-shirt were undone and he was wearing tight, black pants and green brownish shoes. I completely turned into mush looking at his face, that was surrounded by dark brown curls. His big hazel eyes were sparkling with excitement.
While we were walking through the halls he told me: "I'm new in this town. My big bro and I just moved here, so basically I don't know any places. And after all – you owe me one after attacking me this morning." I flushed, still embarrassed about what had happened earlier.
"Um alright .. err so this is the campus, obviously .. the cafeteria is to your right – make sure you avoid the pizza – it's designed to kill!"
"Noted", he looked at me curiously as if he was trying to figure something out, but merely smiled and looked away. We walked in silence a bit, but soon enough he looked at me again and started talking. "So tell me something about yourself!"
"Ahm .. I'm 18 .. I love to play the piano and I can't do algebra for my life. My biggest goal is to work at Disney Pixar someday – as animator." I blinked at him to see if he was laughing at me, but to my surprise he just looked super excited and could barely contain himself from jumping up and down. "You like Disney?!", he squealed. The look on his face made me giggle, "So your excitement tells me you like it too, right?"
"Like?! I LOVE it! I have all of the classics at home. The new ones kind of suck, except for Brave .. and Tangled oh and Up .. do you like the new ones?! OH, Finding Nemo 3D will be released soon. Do you wanna go watch.. um .. I mean with a couple of your friends? Which one is your favorite? Am I rambling? Sorry, I am rambling.", Darren blushed and looked at me apologetically.
"Not all, yes, um it'd be a tough fight between Aladdin and Mulan and yes, but it's cute.", I smiled at him.
"You think I'm cute?", his widened eyes were brighter than before and they somehow seemed to have changed color. They were bright green now. He looked at me innocently. Shit, why is it all of the sudden so hot in here? It's the middle of December in Michigan and I feel like ripping off my clothes. Well I wouldn't mind if he did the same actually – ugh, I have to stop reading fanfiction.
We decided to sit down in a little café not far from our school. I wanted to know more about him, keep him talking, so I asked him: "So what do you like – apart from Disney?" He frowned and answered: "Hmm, let's see .. I like sushi, beaches and small animals, who are nice .. and my girlfriend."
Oh my god, he was the most precious thing ever –wait, did he just say his GIRLFRIEND?!
