Monday, November 6

It's been almost a week ever since the incident of me and Russell happened and... Well, we didn't gave ourselves an official title. After we did the little kisses, we never mentioned about us being officially in a relationship. Are we really in love? Is this what a typical teenager feels when in love? I don't know... Everything's just confusing me...

~Break Time (Back of the School, 10:30 AM)~

Russell: "So, Ariel... Ever since Halloween night..."

Heather: "Hmm?"

Russell: "When you pecked me on the lips, does that mean you accept my true feelings towards you?"

Heather: "Maybe..." *shy face*

Russell: "Alright... Does it mean you like me too?"

Heather: "I-I..."

Russell: "I don't understand..."

Heather: "M-Maybe..." *starts blushing*

Russell: "Isn't that cute? You can't admit it?"

Heather: "Umm... T-that's n-n-not i-it-"

Russell: "I'll just say it, alright? Will you go out with me?"

Heather: "W-wait... You mean, relationship with me and you?"

Russell: "Yes."

Heather: "Me and you. Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Russell: "I think you understand what's going on."

Heather: "I mean... If you want too..."

Russell: "Really? If I want too? I need your opinion on this too! I'm not the only person in the relationship..."

Heather: "I know! It's just..."

Russell: "I don't understand! You give me all the signs that you actually do, but now you're giving me other sig- Wait. I think I know what's going on here..."

Heather: "What you mean?"

Russell: "I know you have feelings for me, I just know it! But you have one problem..."

He stepped closer and closer to me. I bumped on the brick wall while moving backward and realized there's no escaping. That's when he grabbed me from the back and gently started caressing my cheek and leaned and whispered...

Russell: "You just don't want to admit it."

*Bell rings*

Heather: "Time to go to class..."

Russell: "I know."

Heather: "Can you let go of me?"

Russell: "Ah. Sorry..."

Heather: "See you after class."

Russell: "You didn't even answered my question!"

Heather: "I'll think about it! Promise!"

~Hallways after Math Class~

Emily: "Let me get this straight, okay? On Halloween night, when me and Christopher went to the bathroom, you were flirting with Russell?!"

Heather: "Ish."

Christopher: "I knew this day would come! Congratulations, you're in a relationship!"

Heather: "I'm not!"

Emily: "Come on, now. He confessed his feelings and you did too! He kissed you on the check and you kissed his lips-"

Heather: "Pecked. Know the difference."

Emily: "Whatever! If you guys do all of that, you're in a relationship!"

Heather: "We're not! In break time, he asked me if I want to be his girlfriend..."

Emily: "You said, yes?"

Heather: "I didn't answer him. I said, I'll think about it."

Christopher: "It's pretty obvious what's your answer... Just saying."

Heather: "Oh, shut up."

Emily: "C'mon, be with him! You're always the happiest when you're with him."

Heather: "I'm really happy when I'm with both of you, too!"

Christopher: "Just do it! We'll be happy for you."

Heather: "But-"

Emily: "No buts. Just shut up, find him and say the answer."

Heather: "Fine. Fine! I'll do it. In one condition."

Emily: "What?"

Heather: "Are you guys in a relationship?"

Christopher: "Ummm..." *starts blushing*

Emily: "Not really..." *blushing*

Heather: "Alright. Quit the blushing, you guys are in a relationship from now on, alright? You had your first base, you went on a date, you like each other, so stop denying it!"

Christopher: "That's the one condition?"

Heather: "Yes. I'm not forcing you guys to be. But, you guys seemed very happy with each other, so I'm just encouraging you guys, saying that I accept you being in each other's presence..."

Christopher: "Alright... Emily!"

Emily: "Wh-"

Christopher came closer to Emily and started holding her right hand. Then, he leaned his head on Emily's forehead and smiled a smile I haven't seem from him before, charming and cute.

Christopher: "Do you accept Heather's condition and be my girlfriend?"

Emy nodded and she seemed happy about Chris finally asking her out, oops I mean super happy!

Emily: "How can I say no to you?"

Christopher: "You could. But, you decided not to."

Heather: "I'll start going to Russell, now... Don't want to spoil any- Yeah."

Christopher: "Yeah! Start moving!"

Heather: "Sheesh, guys... Don't take it too far."

Emily: "Leave us here and find your Prince Charming!"

Heather: "Shut up and cuddle with each other, love birds!"

~Cafeteria~

Ivy: "Well, well... Isn't it, Heather?"

Heather: "Obviously, it's me. Unless, you're too dumb to remember!"

Ivy: "Anyway-"

Heather: "Shut up, Ivy! When you speak, you lower the IQ of the whole school and plus, I'm in a hurry! So please, shut your big fat lips."

Ivy: "How d-"

I didn't even hear what she actually said, but I didn't give a crap because all it matters is where Russell.

~Back of The School~

Heather: "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Of course I should've come here first, obviously, but-"

Russell: "That doesn't matter anymore. As long as you're here, I'm okay. SO. Have you come up with an answer?"

Heather: "I-um..."

Russell: "Go on..."

Heather: "I-I... UGHHH! I CAN'T SAY IT!"

Russell: "Calm down, now! If you don't have an answer now, I can wait. I can wait as long as it takes-"

Heather: "No! It's here or never!"

Russell: "C'mon, what's so hard on saying it? It's either yes or no-"

Heather: "That's not it!"

Russell: "What is?"

Heather: "I just don't know why I can't say it! Admit it or whatever! I have an answer in my heart and mind, but my mouth isn't letting me say it! I'm sorry this is just a waste of time for you-"

We weren't talking face to face, we were many meters away from each other. Yelling everything we were saying to each other so we can understand every word we're saying. But, when I was trying to finish that sentence, he dropped his backpack into the concrete floor and rushed to my direction. When he approached me, he hugged me tightly which made both of us fall into our knees and he started crying...

Russell: "Don't say that... The time is worth it. Everything."

Heather: "Oh, Russell..."

I felt a teardrop running across my cheek. I was running my fingers across his cute black medium long haircut. I never noticed how adorable it looks on him. That's when I hugged his head and rested mine's on top of him and wiped the tears on his face.

Heather: "You know I want to be with you..."

Russell: "Really?"

Heather: "Don't make me say it... It's a little embarrassing..."

Russell: "So, you're indirect to your feelings towards me?"

Heather: "You can say that... Get use to it."

Russell: "Haha... I will. Here, let's get up."

We both got up and couldn't stop smiling and blushing, like a bunch of dorks.

Russell: "So it's official, we're in a relationship-"

Heather: "When did I ever said I made it official?"

Russell: "I did, since you couldn't say it properly."

Heather: "Alright. Yes, we're together. You're my b... My bo..."

Russell: "You're what?"

Heather: "My... Partner."

Russell: "Lab partner?"

Heather: " Y-No! You know what I mean!"

Russell: *sigh* "To put it properly, I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend."

Heather: "Nicely put..." *blush face*

Russell: "C'mon, let's go."

That first day, it was hard to for us holding our hands when together. I guess both of us are too shy to make show it off to everyone and I'm fine with that. I don't want everyone to know about it...

Russell: "Oh! Before, I forget... I have always wanted to do say this..."

Heather: "What?"

Since Russell was three inches taller then me, he grabbed my chin with his thumb and index finger and lifted a little bit so I can see his face and that's when he pecked my lips and said...

Russell: "I love you, Ariel."
