"Yo, Seville!" Alvin turned to find Chris and Lisa walking up to him. Chris was Alvin's best friend and captain of the football team, while Lisa was Chris' new girlfriend. Yes, new girlfrfiend. He goes through girl's like there's no tomorrow.
"Yo, Chris." Alvin laughed. Alvin looked to Lisa and nodded. "Lisa." She smiled.
Chris threw his arm lazily over Lisa's shoulder, making her frown. 'She's obviously only with him for the popularity.' Chris smiled to show his crooked teeth. "I heard there's a new girl in school and you know her."
Alvin furrowed his brow. "Huh?" Chris nodded his head behind Alvin. Alvin turned around and saw who Chris was talking about... Skylar. "Oh, her... yeah, I know her."
"Well, who is she?"
"Why would you wanna know?"
"Just bcause I have a girlfriend doesn't mean I can't keep my eyes open for more."
Alvin raised his brow at Chris' words. 'Wow... and she doesn't mind?' Lisa kept eyeing her nails. 'I guess not.'
"Sorry, Chris, this one's mine." Chris looked down. "Oh, alright." Chris may be a womanizer, but he had respect for his friends.

"Alright, there's a Gym Pod, Library Pod, and Theater pod... and a Math Pod. Why don't they just have the Math Pod in the-"
"Hey, Skylar."
Skylar looked up and moved a strand of her ginger hair away from her face. "Hey, Alvin." She looked down and blushed. 'He's so cute...'
"So, um... need help finding your classes?"
She smiled. "Yeah, kinda." Alvin smiled back and took her scedule. "Alright, well, you you have Science third period... so you'll have third lunch with me." Skylar blushed again. 'Yes!' Alvin pretended to not notice. 'Blushing... so she likes me, right?'
"You have Instrumental for first... hey, I do too!" Alvin cleared his throat and mentally smacked himself. 'Don't be so obvious, Al!' He scanned over her scedule and realized something that made his heart beat three times faster...
"We have every class together... even next semester." Skylar held back a grin. "Oh, alright then..." She took a deep breath trying to build up her courage. "Walk me to class?"
Alvin smiled. "Of course." He reached out and took Skylar's plain white folder and tucked it under his arm. To get a conversation going, he said, "So, um... what was with you yesterday?"
Skylar kept walking but looked away. "I-It's nothing..."
"Well, you were acting pretty strange... you freaked out-"
"It's nothing!" Alvin stopped at her outburst. He could see tears forming in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I-" Skylar turned and ran down the hall.
"Wait, Skylar!" Alvin chased after her.
She bolted out the doors with Alvin trailing behind her. "Skylar, stop! Please!"
Skylar reached the stadium on the side of the foot-ball field. She grabbed the railing and held on tight. 'Get a hold of yourself, Skylar.'
"Skylar, please... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-" Alvin stopped when he saw her face. Her bottom lip trembled slightly and her cheeks were wet with tears. She let go of the railing and sat down on the ground, head between her knees, crying.
"Skylar..." He got on his knees next to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She jumped at the touch and cried harder.
"P-Please... leave m-me alone..." Alvin's heart broke at her cries. He sat down next to her, but kept his distance.
Skylar raised her head and laid her cheek on her knee so she was looking at Alvin. She sniffed. "A-Alvin, I'm s-sorry..." She wiped away a few tears with her orange hoodie sleeve. "I-I shouldn't have ran off l-like that..."
He reached over and put his hand on her shoulder again. This time, she didn't flinch. Alvin smiled to himself, taking that as a good sign. "Skylar, what happened back there?"
She looked up and met his eyes. "I, um... I have problems..." Alvin tilted his head in confusion, but nodded for her to continue. "I... I have a lot of problems..."
"Skylar, where are you going with this?" She mentally sighed. 'Do I just say it?'
"Alvin, I... I have phobias. Many phobias. That's why." She looked away, ashamed of herself. She wasn't surprised when she heard Alvin laugh slightly.
"That's it?"
Skylar looked back at him. "Huh?"
"There's nothing wrong with having phobias. Heck, I have a few too. It's no big deal."
"You don't get it, Alvin. I have phobias. Weird ones! They aren't normal!"
"And I'm fine with that." His words were sincere. " Skylar, I don't care. I-I... I like you. I like you a lot. I don't care what phobias you have. I'm okay with that. I just... Skylar, will you be my girlfriend?" Skylar was taken back at his words. For once in her life, someone understood.
"Yes..."
