They slowly started to spend time together. Whether it was from happening seeing the other with friends or texting each other in between classes, they just started grow close.

Which was a problem for Lukas who had found himself with a crush on the tall blond.

Curse him for liking writers who were very cautious around him.

Oddly the curse is specific.

He muttered himself about falling for his new friend when he bumped into Tino. The slightly taller boy smiled at him and started to walk along with him.

"Lukas how are you? Mathias isn't giving you any trouble is he?"

"No, he's fine. In fact he's a joy to have around." Lukas answered.

There was a second that he swore he saw a glint of evil plotting from the other boy. Then something shifted and he was back to regular old Tino.

They continued to talk down the hall until Lukas entered his class and sat down. The question was, what should he do with this new crush? Crush it until it's not there anymore or continue with it?

He thought long and hard about this all through class even if he was suppose to pay attention. People around him just kept giving him odd stares and backed away from him when they thought he didn't notice.

He was pushed even further into the corner when confronted with the tall blond who happen to be outside his last class when it ended. The excited smile reminded him of a dog finally seeing its owner and it just made his heart skip a beat.

The oddly adorable Mathias rambled on about a book he was reading for the book report while the two of them walked down the hall. Somehow Lukas paid attention to both the rambling and the physical features of the blond. His hair that was obviously styled, bounced every time he took a step and Lukas kept staring at it, trying to confirm that in fact does this every time.

"I'm just gonna hate doing the oral report for it. I really hate speaking in front of a crowd of people." Mathias said, muttering the last part.

"Why? You seemed to do well with your poem a while ago?" Lukas questioned.

Mathias eyes darted away and he seemed to hunch up his shoulder. Perhaps to make himself to appear smaller? Why?

Lukas's face scrunched up, wondering why the blond acted this way.

"I just hate everyone staring at me. Makes me feel like they're silently judging me. Gets to the point where I could have a panic attack. That's only in extreme cases though."

Lukas silently stored the information about the panic attacks and made a note to look them up later. Could come in handy later.

"But I can probably handle it. Reason why the flashcards are there." He said with a joking tone.

But his shoulders were still hunched up.

Soon they reached their cars and gave each other goodbyes.

Lukas still pondered on his crush with Mathias.

Maybe it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

He was panicking on the inside. How could he tell Lukas a flaw like his attacks?

Only the writing club and teachers knew of his condition and they tried everything to make him feel as comfortable as they could.

The writing club made sure to send Tino who seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to him to this kind of stuff. The teachers encouraged him to do his best and would only let him talk to them alone if he felt like he couldn't do it at all.

Still letting anyone else know could lead to people picking on him about it. Isn't that always the case?

Pacing back and forth in his room, he worried and worried about it until he found his way to his desk and started to write his heart out. His handwriting messy, but all that mattered was that he could read it. After all who would read it?

Soon finishing it, he glanced over it. Rereading it over and over, he soon decided that he would do it.

After all how can a writer keep their feelings in for so long?

It was when Mathias didn't show up when his last class ended that Lukas started to worry.

Going as fast as he could with everyone else rushing was a challenge. There was some moments were he plain just pushed a person out of the way. The person protested, but he didn't hear them as he speed walked down the hall.

Running up the stairs and toward his locker, he saw a blond hair and his speeding heart sped up even more. He found himself staring up at Mathias eyes and breathing hard from his run.

He knew he was glad to see Mathias without even having to think about it.

"Why were you not there?" Was all he could ask before going for another breath.

The blond just glanced around them before shoving a piece of paper into his face. When peeling it from his face he saw the blond just turning the corner of the stairs. Lukas knew chasing after him would just result in seeing Mathias drive away.

He looked down at the paper and saw words were written on it. Looking closer at it, he finally understood Mathias's reaction.

"Cut the heart and who would I be?"

'Excellent question Mathias,' Lukas thought,' Would have answered it right here if you didn't run off.'

Lukas wanted to get down to the end of this and he wanted to do it now.

And the next chapter will be the last one. Sorry for not updating for a bit.

Also Lukas you're a bit intense. Might not help with Mathias.
