CHAPTER EIGHT ASH

7:01 am
Thursday
I got up and wanted to go to bed again. I went downstairs and noticed that my mom was still home, she was on the way to leave. I waved at her and said good morning, but she was still mad at me for skipping the first period yesterday, so she just nodded at me and closed the door. I ran to the bus station and didn’t miss it. I got on the bus just in time, I couldn’t believe myself. I looked out for my bro Chris, but as I came closer to him, I noticed he was talking to a boy behind him. As I looked him in the face, it hit me like a fire truck. I was stunned, he had brunette hair, green-brown eyes and the cutest smile on this fricken planet. I immediately had butterflies in my stomach, as his and my eyes met, I couldn’t stand properly anymore. He was so handsome I couldn’t believe it; how come I had never seen him before. I sat down next to Chris and turned to the guy as well. I asked him where he was from and he told me that he just moved here, he lived in the same House as Chris that’s why he knew him. He told me his name was David and that he lived in a flat next to Chris´. I tried my best to not blush anytime he looked at me, how did I manage to fall in love with someone so quickly. Chris and David kept talking, but I zoned out at some point and as I came back to reality, we were at school already. David, Chris and I got off the bus we went into class, and David chose the seat right next to me. I didn’t know how to handle the situation, so I decided to just hold my breath so he couldn’t hear my excited breathing all the time. As the first period started the teachers immediately told us to sit down and stay in our seats. Fast forward to the end of this story, it was a training because there was a shooter nearby. I was zoned out almost all of the time, so I didn’t really know what happened. Then we had 20-minute break, I talked to David for a bit and was shocked when he told me he was bi. I was screaming on the inside, maybe we had a chance together. I already fantasized about our future together and just as I was at the wedding, he snapped me back into reality. As it turned out, Chris had told him that I have ADHD, so he just snapped, and I was back. He asked me about my private life, as we had exchanged our thoughts the break was over already. David got his books out and started drawing little doodles, it was so cute I couldn’t control myself and blushed. He must have had eyes on the back of his head, because he looked at me as soon as I blushed. He looked me straight – or actually bi- in the eyes. Then he smiled and started drawing his doodles again. He drew so many doodles that the first page of his book was already full before he even wrote the first sentences down. Then the teacher assigned us to write something down, he apparently didn’t notice, so I just tapped his shoulder. As he looked up, I swear I saw a blush on his face, then he started writing everything down. I was stunned by how neat his handwriting was. Then as he was finished with the words from the board, he drew his doodles again. Then he drew a little heart and wrote MY INITIAL in it, he looked at me and covered it up as soon as he noticed that I looked at his book. I pretended to look away and as soon as he focused on his book again, I saw him drawing more hearts with my Initial in it. I couldn’t believe anything anymore; he was in love with ME? The rest of the day I was planning our life together, I literally was planning this better than I planned my whole life. Why am I like this?
