Tommy's POV
I sulk my way through Geometry only thinking about the boy I just met. I can't wait until Social Studies so I can talk to him again. Finally, it happens. 9th period Social Studies. I take my seat next to him and I look at his gorgeous blue eyes that I have become very fond of. He looks at me and smiles.
"Hi, Mr. Ratliff."
"Oh, so we're referring to each other by last names, now?"
"Why not, Mr. Ratliff?"
"Good point, Mr. Lambert. So, I believe our conversation was cut off earlier."
"Indeed it was. What were we talking about?"
"How you first judged me."
"Oh! Right. Well, I believe Mrs. Moller was going on and on about her 'fascinating' personal life and I'm sitting here like, 'Do I get bonus points if I pretend like I care?' Then, you knock on the door. And I'm thinking, 'This kid must be a slacker. If they are in an honors Spanish class, why are they late?' Then you walk in and I could tell I was wrong about you. You looked petrified that you were late."
"Oh, I was."
"Exactly. So, I knew you were just like me."
"And how am I just like you?"
"You're an overachiever."
"Well, yeah, I guess."
"And, I knew you were either a) dating somebody or b) liked someone in the room because no one daydreams that easy."
"Well, I'm not dating anyone."
"Well, that guy you're crushing on, is really missing out."
"You have no idea."
"And quick question."
"Yes?"
"Isn't it a little dangerous to give your number to someone you barely know?"
"So, texting is to get to know people, I wanna get to know you, Mr. Lambert."
"I wanna get to know you too, Mr. Ratliff. So here."
He slides a piece of paper that says 555-2573.
"You think you're so smooth, don't you?"
"It was a pretty slick move."
"Oh, really? You must be having fun with being this cocky."
"Oh, I am."
He starts talking to someone else but looks back at me and says, "Wait!"
"What?"
"Don't forget to text me."
