I get to the school and see the familiar sight of a 1957 Chevy parked by the gate. I feel my face heat up as I stare at it. Am I blushing? I look in the window of an empty car and pull my sweater down. Oh gog. Why am I blushing? There isn't a reason to blush. I'll just say it's the weather making me rosy cheeked. I pull the neck back up and walk inside in hopes to cover the blush… erm… flushed cheeks from the weather and warm up. What happened after that, I didn't expect.
School doesn't truly start for an hour. Why is he here already? Oh. I am such an idiot. I just looked at his car.
I get inside and go to my usual corner to see none other than Cronus Ampora himself. He isn't hard to miss. Popular, has the style of a Greaser, captain of the swim team, actually pretty cute…. cute? No! I did not just think that…!
I physically facepalm. He saw me. He walks over to me and I feel my face heat up again. Weather…
"Hey, Kani, babe" He says in a way only he can. I could have melted there on the spot. Wait what? Why? I am a celibate. There is no way….
"Hello, Cronus. I have told you to please not call me 'Babe' as it could be triggering to others." He chuckles. "Did I say something funny?" He stops but still has a smirk on his face. "No. I just like your wvoice~" My face heats up again. "Avw~ Are you blushin' ovwer me?" Am I? Gog no. Not me. "Actually, Cronus, it is the weather causing my face to be this shade." My voice partial muffled from my sweater.
I see and feel him looking me over. "VWhy are you covwered in so much snow?" I brush myself off. "I walked." He looked surprised. He went to ask another question when I walked calmly around him and sat in my corner. It was warm and I felt the snow melting off of me and soaking into my sweater's material. It sent chills down my back.
I look down in time to feel warmth against my side. My eyes wander to the side to look at the person without me turning my head. Cronus? Doesn't he have some girl to hit on? My face is flushing again. For the third time? Why? "Hey, chief. How far is your house from here?" Why would he want to know? Well… It would be rude not to answer… "Oh. About a two hour walk here." He puts his arm around me and I tense up. "Don't worry, babe. It's just to warm you up." It is warming me up… Mostly my face… "So do you mind if I give you a ride?" I snap out of my thoughts. "Excuse me, could you please repeat?" I look up a little. His white shirt clung to him after he held me by my sodden sweater. "I vwas vwonderin if I could give you a ride so you could stay out the snowv...?" Just accept it. He's being nice.
"Sure." I jot down my address and hand it to him. What did I just get myself into?
