Social studies class is such a bore. Since when do we need the history for our future? I looked out the window and saw the boys' basketball team practicing for their big game tonight. That's when I saw him again. The locker boy, I still haven't figured out his name. If I asked someone, he or she might think I have this crush on him. But… do I have a crush on him?
He shot the ball in from half court and his team mates started cheering for him. I smiled with this strange feeling inside. He noticed me staring which made him waved at me with his sweet smile. Then out of nowhere someone threw the ball on his head. I laughed at the sudden accident, which was a big mistake because when I turned back to face the teacher, everyone was looking at me.
"Welcome back to Earth Ms. Alice. Please tell me what happened after World War one ended?" I smiled and answered, "Um… World War two began?" this made everyone laugh, including myself. The bell suddenly rang, which was my chance to run. I ran straight out the door as if I was a thief who just stole a bag of money. I looked back to see if the teacher was coming after me, but looking back made me bump into someone. "Oh, my, gosh I'm sorry." I said picking up my stuff in a clumsy way. "It's alright, better slow down next time." The stranger said pulling out a hand.
"I was running away from Social class and…" When I took the strangers hand and finally got up to see who it was, I saw him, again for the third time, "locker boy…" I blurted. He laughed and scratched his head, "My name is Pietro." I laughed and saw that he was looking at my hand holding his. I let go and shrugged it off "Right, sorry, again. How did you get here so fast? I mean, the last time I saw you, you were out there in the basketball court." He gave out a thinking expression and said, "Let's just say I know my way around. Have you?"
I shook my head, "Nope, but I'm getting the hang of it." There was a 2 minute silence as we just stared at each other. "I was wondering if you'd come to the game tonight to watch me play?" he asked breaking off the silence, "Um… yeah sure, I'd love to go." I answered. "You'd love to?" he asked again making sure he heard it right. "Yeah, I mean, I don't see why not." I said with a smile.
Kurt suddenly sees me and started waving at my direction, "Oh no." I said. Pietro turned around and gave a mean look at Kurt, "is he bothering you?" he asked. "Sort of, well he's just being nice and I don't want him to get too close to me." I answered feeling freaked out. "I'll distract him. You run along to lunch, I'll see you tonight." He said. "Thanks Pietro." I started headed out to lunch walking fast.
