iii. crush(ed)
As Jinora walked down the hallway, Kai found himself staring. "You're hopeless man," Skoochy teased, smirking an impish grin. Kai quickly looked away when Jinora glanced in their direction, and once she had passed he ran a hand through his hair.
"I know," Kai groaned. "I can't help it. She's really smart. And pretty. And kind. And -"
"I'm ending this now otherwise you'll never shut up, I sadly know from experience," Skoochy said loudly, cutting him off. "Even though you've never actually even talked to her."
Kai frowned. "Not true, we've talked. We say hi to each other before English 'cause when I'm waiting to go into the classroom her class is coming out."
Skoochy rolled his eyes. "Wow, one word a day, amazing!" Kai punched him lightly on the shoulder.
"Shut up," he mumbled. After three months, Kai had hoped his big crush on Jinora Windson would have gone away, but it looked like it was here to stay. He looked up to see Jinora walking down the hallway again with a friend - maybe she had forgotten something? Jinora looked his way and smiled; his stomach did a somersault, his heart started running a marathon. He smiled back, surely overenthusiastic, and looking like an idiot.
Or at least that's what Skoochy said, but Kai didn't care; Jinora had smiled at him. His day was suddenly 10 times brighter. (God, he really was hopeless, wasn't he? But maybe it wasn't too bad. Not bad at all.)
