Chapter 1
Leonard's POV: The bell rang and I just got into the classroom. I walked up to my usual sitting spot just in the right position to stare at.. him... Milo, my biggest enemy and also my crush. He always sat in the front closest to the windows. He's been my enemy since that chemistry class I called him short. I just so happened to see him reach for an obejct and I got behins him and grabbed it for him while in a teasing voice saying: "Shorite~". He got mad and I don't know what to do anymore..
I stared at him in a longing way, he was so.. so cute.. His long eyelashes and pretty, soft dark hair... "Woow..." I whispered under my breath longing to be able to smell that faint smell of apple shampoo; just the way I did that one time in chemistry class..
Maybe I stared too much because he slightly turned his head towards me.. I of course looked away very quickly.. Why was I like this? Girls flirt with me all the time... Milo.. is just 'diffrent'. He is cuter, smarter and he smells very nice.
Milo's POV:
As soon as class started I sat down at my usual spot. Beside the window closest to the teachers board. After a while, I felt like I was being watched so after class, I immediately got up grabbed my bag, and left.
Ugh.. there he is again. Leonard.. talking to every f*cking girl in this school. Such a nice f*cking sight to see first thing after leaving class. I walked by while rolling my eyes but then.. Leonard grabbed me by the arm. "What the hell?-"
Leonard's POV:
I saw Milo walk by.. he was alone.. no friends.. this is my chance to confess.. I reached out and grabbed his arm.. I was a bit nervous but I collected myself.. "Hey Milo. Can we talk for a bit?... in private."
I could see Milo's confused stare.. what if he said no?.. I held my breath but relaxed after I heard him say: "Alright.. but make it quick.." I let out a sigh of relief before pulling him away towards the locker room..
I let go of his arm after reaching the locker room and also closing the heavy blue, metal door. "So uhm Milo.. I just wanted to say you look really short in those shoes-"
What the hell?
A sweat drop ran down my pan because I just fucked up. "I- I meant- well you do-.. but I meant to say that you uhm... you see Milo-" I got so nervous I even pushed Milos shoulder a bit too hard so he stumbled backwards a bit. "What the hell?-" Milo asked angrily and snarled at me, before shoving me out the way and walking away.
That night I only thought about how to make up for the mistake I had made.. I knew he hated being called short... but
was it really that bad?.. hmm.. whatever
The next thing I knew.. I fell in a deep slumber under the stary sky..
Milo's POV
I woke up by my alarm ringing. I sat up in my bed stretching myself before grabbing my phone and looking at the time.. 6.30 in the morning.. I got dressed and put on my nicest t-shirt (which was whatever t-shirt didn't have any f*cking stains on it) with a pair of black shorts
It was warm out so I wont need a jacket when leaving.. I walked down the stairs and grabbed an apple from the counter before getting my backpack and my sneakers so I could run if I felt like it.
After putting my shoes on I bit into the apple and left a note on the front door. The note said: To mom. I am leaving for school early. <3 //your son Milo
Leonard's POV:
I got out of my car and as usual. All girls stared my way as I got out. But.. there was another stare this time too.. it came from.. Milo. It was a mean stare like a hole burned through me.
First class, history. As the teacher arrived the whole class quieted down and listened to what the teacher would say. The teacher told the whole class about a history project we would be doing in pairs.
The teacher began to read out the pairs.. and I held my breath. Lisa and Amanda.. Theo and Gus.. Clara and Sophia.. William and Hannah.. then.. me and Milo. My heart skipped a beat. I knew I was overjoyed but when I looked towards Milo he looked sourer than a f*cking lemon.
After school, at my house we prepared the base for our project.. Milo just did what I asked and I thought this might be my only chance.. "hey Milo.. Im sorry for calling you short the other day." I looked down but in the side of my eye I could see him look shocked.
Milo's POV:
"I-... what did you say?.." Did he apologise just now? Am I hearing things? He opened his mouth, closed it and openes it again: "I.. always get so nervous arouns you.. I dont know how to act... Im sorry." He apologised again and my mouth was hanging open.. but then.. I smiled.- Only a little tho! I still dont like him...
"Are we fine now?" He asked and touched my hand. "I.. guess so.." I pulled back my hand and then nodded. We finished off what we had been doing(the base for our school project) before I got my bag and left. Before I could leave tho.. Leonard grabbed my wrist again..
"It's.. raining now.." He said and when I looked outside, it sure was raining.
