Robecca watched Venus leave the greenhouse.
Ok Robecca she thought. Go for it!
She calmly walked towards her, and 'accidentally' bumped into Venus.
"Oof!" Venus exclaimed as she and Robecca fell to the ground.
Robecca landed on top of her.
"Are you ok?" Robecca asked, taking a minute to admire Venus.
A sigh escaped her soft pink lips. If Robecca had a heart, it would've skipped a beat.
"I'm fine" Venus said, pushing her green hair behind her ear.
"You?"
"Never better" Robecca sighed.
Venus didn't notice. She pushed herself up.
"Er, Robeeca?"
"Yes?" Robecca had gotten lost in Venus's blue eyes.
"Could you please get off me?"
"What? Oh, of course!"
Rebecca pushed herself up and extended a hand to Venus. Venus took it and hoisted herself up.
"Sorry again" Robecca said.
Venus smiled. "You're fine love. I've got to get going. I have to work on my proposal for a green student club."
Rebecca smiled as the earthy girl walked off.
She is so smart and passionate and amazing and perfect Robecca thought.
Two days later they were sitting in Clawculus. Robecca was scribbling Robecca + Venus in her notebook.
"Miss Steam!"
"Steam- McFlytrap, actually" Robecca murmured.
"I'm sorry Miss Steam- McFlytrap!"
Robecca was wide awake now. The teacher was standing in front of her desk. He picked up her notebook and raised an eyebrow.
"Robecca x Venus?"
All eyes shifted to Robecca, who was nervously chewing on her lip. Her eyes traveled to Venus, who was three seats behind her.
"Robecca-" Venus began.
Robecca stood up. Her boots roared to life and she rocketed out of the room.
"Robecca wait!" someone yelled.
Robecca didn't wait; she kept going until she was in the catacombs. She was looking for her underground lab. It was going to be her new home. She could never show her face again, not after what had happened in class.
Robecca was curled in a corner of her lab weeping when she heard her voice.
"Robecca." It was Venus.
Robecca tried to pull her legs loser to her torso.
"I can still see you" Venus said softly.
Robecca lifted her head. "Venus, I'm..."
Venus knelt down beside her and wrapped her arms around her.
"You don't anything to apologize for" she said, running her fingers through Robecca's bushy hair.
They sat like that for awhile, the only being Robecca's occasional sniffle.
Finally Venus said "It unfair of him to call you out like that."
Robecca sniffed and rubbed her eyes. "What did everyone else say?"
"They thought it was unfair too. Some of them thought it was kind of sweet that you were thinking about me instead of math."
"About that..."
Venus pulled her closer. "Don't worry about it. It's flattering that such a sweet girl is interested in me."
"You think I'm sweet?"
Venus smiled. "I think you're a lot of wonderful things, Robecca. Warm, compassionate, attentive, and absolutely adorable."
"Venus" Robecca began slowly "do you... like me?"
Venus nodded. "Yes. Very much."
She stood up and offered Robecca her hand.
"Ready to head back to class, sweet girl?"
Robecca smiled and took her hand.
"Yes."
