Heres chapter 2! Review please!

Over the weekend, you could not get Ivan out of your mind. He appeared in your thoughts every so often. You began to think you're getting a crush on him. What is it about him? Is it his looks? His personality that you barely knew? Or love at first sight? These questions twirled in your mind for the past few days.

It's Monday, the day before Valentine's Day. Man did you hate that holiday; seeing everyone around you with their significant others, made you feel lonely. All the lovey dovey and the kisses and hugs, made you sick to your stomach. Envy would hit you when you saw couples. But you're not the only one who felt like that.

During lunch, you could feel the excitement for tomorrow in the air. You walked with your lunch to find the table where your friends sat. As you searched for your friends, your eyes caught sight on Ivan. He was sitting alone at one of the tables. 'Why is he alone?' Your mind began determining whether you should go sit with him or continue to look for your friends. You decided it would be too awkward to sit with him alone. You barely knew him and he barely knew you. Yet a question came up into your mind 'Is he always alone?'

Chemistry came by and Ivan didn't show up. 'Did he ditch?' You thought Ivan was one of those good students who cared about their attendance. Guess not.

After school you waited for your ride. You stood by the doors as Ivan sat on the benches again. A pang of guilt hit you as you notice he's alone again. You took your courage to the test and walked over to him. You could feel yourself blush as you sat down. Ivan turned to you with a surprised expression. He was speechless.

"Why weren't you in chemistry?" You asked looking up at him.

"...Oh, I didn't feel like going, all that stuff is too easy for me."

"Oh, haha" You didn't know what to say. You began to get nervous.

"Da, so what brings you here?" he asked.

"I-I thought you looked kinda lonely" you admitted.

Ivan looked up at the grey sky. You curiously looked up too. Snowflakes lightly floated down slowly, the slight made you feel content. Ivan closed his eyes for a couple seconds before opening them again.

"I'm always lonely."

You turned to him, he continued looking up, you where speechless again and couldn't say anything.

"Nobody likes me, they are all afraid of me" Ivan sighed. "They judge me before they get to know me... they get terrified of my appearance, so I try to smile as much as possible."

"So you just put on a fake smile?"

"Da, but..." Ivan looked down to his feet. "You're the only person I can truly smile to."

"You don't have to be" you finally said gazing into his eyes as he turned to you with a shocked expression. You slid your hand over his leather glove, ignoring the coldness. His face softened into a smile. You couldn't help but smile back; you could feel yourself leaning closer to him. He too was leaning toward you. You closed your eyes. He was inches away from your lips.

BEEP

'DAMMIT'

"I'm sorry, I have to go" you said standing up and walked toward your ride. You looked back before getting into the car and saw Ivan's face was pink. He waved back with a wider smile than what he usually wore.
