You stood there in shock. This was your first kiss, if it counted as a kiss because you were trying your best not to let him in, but he got in anyway. It was very minty. He must have been chewing gum or something, you thought to yourself. He pulled away and smirked, it irked you but you were still suprised. It was your first kiss, and it was from someone who pissed you off. He soon asked you to be his girlfriend, you just shrugged. You weren't used to having boyfriends or anything, you had a few in Middle School but they dumped you after a week. You didn't get heart broken, you weren't upset. It just...came and past.

You noticed that Romano had been there but was gone after Gil kissed you. You looked at Gilbert as your bus arrived, he winked back. You climbed onto your bus and went home, having the moment replay over, and over again ( but also thanking God none of the teacher's saw.) .


A week had passed since you and Gilbert were together. You talked to Antonio and Francis more than you had on the first day. You also talked to Alfred a lot and found out he had a brother named Matthew, you had no idea how close of friends you two would soon be. You understood Matthew's situation on how he was barely noticed, or invisible more like. You didn't really like Gilbert at all. No special feeling, no burst of warmth when he held your hand or hugged you, which he barely did. You just didn't really care. You did get a feeling of warmth around Antonio, though. There was someone else who brought a smile to your face that you hadn't seen in a while...Romano. You hadn't seen him in any of the classes you had together (which were all of them.). He was going to school, he was just...hidden. You frowned, thinking of Romano.


It was the end of the day now and you went to look for Gilbert, okay, so maybe you had a small feeling for him...but nothing you would get upset over. That's just growing up, isn't it? You found Gilbert but he wasn't alone...He was with another girl, kissing her.

You simply stared at them, they broke apart. Gilbert was a little shocked, but the girl almost flipped out. You ran off, quickly and faster than you had ever ran. This wasn't normal of you, you never got upset over some guy. You exited the school, running towards the back.

You leaned up against the wall, tears started coming out of your eyes. You didn't understand what you were feeling but it hurt. It hurt badly. The tears wouldn't stop falling, making your cheeks sticky, and warm. Through the blur and corner of your eye you saw a figure, sitting down and looking up at you. It had dark auburn top. You wiped your eyes and tried to make out the figure...It was Romano.

He stared at you. Deeply, like he was in a trance, putting you into one.

You seen everything a little more clearly now, noticing details you never payed attention to in the week you had been here.

He had olive skin, his eyes, oh his eyes, they were amazing. They were what sent you into a trance. His eyes were not only a golden honey color, but they had small flecks of emerald green in them. His hair was a little brighter in the sunlight, like a sunset upon his head. The grey jacket he normally wore hung loosely around his shoulders, and tight around his arms and hands. That he didn't just wear jeans but skinny jeans, with small unnoticable rips in them, that shirt he was wearing, clung tightly to him.

One last tear fell from your eye, but not because of Gilbert, but because of Romano. How beautiful he was and you never noticed. You two stared at eachother as though it was forever. You didn't want to talk, because it seemed he spoke everything then and there. He finally spoke.

"So, Gilbert broke up with you?" He said, very mellow and cool. It wasn't like him..

"No, He was kissing someother girl." Romano flinched when you said that "I normally don't cry over guys, but I don't know." You whispered.

"Sounds like him.." He looked up to you. A flash of sun caught in his eye and lit the colors of his iris brightly, beautifully.

You didn't speak for a second and wasn't going to but the words seemed to slip out with "You're beautiful, you know?".

Romano's cheeks lit a bright red, like bright tomatoes. He became flustered and aggervated.

" Beautiful is something that describes girls! I am not a girl! Why would you say something like that, _?" He shouted in a some-what quiet tone. You simply smiled a big bright smile, knowing it couldn't compare to his beauty but maybe, you'd have a chance to be friends with a magnificient person like him. You could see he was misunderstood. You yearned to learn more about him.

"Can I walk home with you?" You asked out of the blue. Wanting to get closer to Romano, wanting to know him. Romano blushed once more, but not his bright tomato blush, but it was a brilliant blush, nonetheless.

"Sure." He said, plain and simple. You smiled again, a feeling brighter, stronger, warmer, than the feeling you had with Antonio bloomed in your stomach. You had no idea what it was, but you liked it. You liked being with Romano.
