(This chapters going to be told in Sals point of view)

|As the school day went on, it was just like yesterday. But Y/n was by my side fending off people who gave me ugly looks. It almost made me feel guilty.. but also nice in a way knowing someone has my back.

"Hey, I'm gonna go to my locker okay? I'm sure Larry is in the court yard with Ash or something. That's what he told me before he left me and you alone." She said as she stopped at the door to outside. I stopped with her and put my hands on my backpack straps.

"Okay, I was just thinking about where Larry went anyways." I said to her. Before she walked away she pulled out her hand and gestured to mine.

"Damn I forgot about our secret handshake! Sorry dude." I said as I chuckled at the end. She smiled at me and told me it was alright. Then we did our little handshake before she left. But when we both looked at each other for that second before she left. I couldn't help but feel.. special. Her warm smile, and her silly laugh, always brightened up my glum days, sometimes makes happier days even better. I felt my heart slightly pound before she left. I sighed to myself and couldn't help but feel all happy inside. Then I walked to the courtyard and saw Larry sitting by himself under the tree. I was slightly confused why he was sitting there. Did something happen between him and Ash? I walked up to the tree and took a seat next to me. It looks like he was drawing in his sketchbook. His drawings are always a wonderful thing to look it. He looked up at me then greeted me with a toothy smile.

"Sup Sally Face! Whats up?"

I put my backpack down and sat next to him.

"Nothing really, Y/n just went to her locker to grab a few things. She told me you were here so I just decided to talk with you. Even though Ash would probably be here.."

He chuckled and started to go back to drawing in his sketchbook.

"She left with Todd, she's gonna retake a math test she failed."

"Oh.."

I looked up at the tree seeing the sun seep through the leafs.

"Something you wanna tell me Sal?"

I looked over to Larry and felt my eyebrows slightly raise.

"No.. not really, or not right now I have to."

He hummed and smiled to himself. I had a bad feeling about what he was thinking. Did he figure out about what happened between me and Y/n? It wasn't that even of a big deal.. it was just. It just happened so quick.

"How are you and Y/n?"

I felt my heart slightly beat a little faster in my chest as he mentioned her. I couldn't help but feel nervous when she was even mentioned. But at the same time excited..

"Oh! We're good... we're good.." I said quietly towards the end. Then Larry looked at me and closed his sketchbook.

"You sound bummed at the last part. Everything okay between you and her?" He questioned me. I couldn't help but look away and start playing with the needles of grass below me. I felt my heart beat slightly faster and my stomach fill up with little butterflies.

"I-i don't know dude.. it's just.. it's so weird, all of this..."

Larry put his hands in his hood pockets and moved his body facing mine slightly.

"Whats weird..?"

I stayed quiet for a second thinking of what to say, should I tell him about what I've been feeling? What should I do? Should I keep it to myself? He's the most trustworthy person I know next to Y/n.. i took a deep breath and just decided to tell him.

"This is gonna be awkward as hell.. but... I don't know what's wrong with me but she makes me feel like.. special? I don't know what to call it really.. I feel nervous? Yet happy around her. She makes me feel more comfortable with myself. And she even beat some of my bullies asses yesterday! Even after she's seen my face! She treats me so.. normal.. like if there's nothing wrong with me. She's just.. always there for me.. and I don't want to lose a person like that.."

As thoes words left my mouth, it was just quiet, the silence felt like it was gonna kill me..

"Sal, do you like Y/n?"

I looked up at him and felt my face become slightly hotter than usual.

"N-no..!... Well... Shit man I don't even know! I've never felt this before towards anyone in my life..."

I looked back down at the grass and sighed to myself.

"Maybe I do.. is that a bad thing..?" I said quietly.

Larry patted my back and chuckled.

"Of course not! It probably feel a little weird right now.. but everything gonna come together before you know it."

I started to twirl one of my pigtails in my fingers and felt myself become a little nervous.

"What if she dosent like me? What if she's just being nice? She's a nice person..."

Larry sighed and slumped against the tree.

"She isn't the type to play with someone's feelings Sal. She's genuine with how she feels."

Then he smiled and put his hands behind his head.

"But who knows! Let's say a little birdy told me that.. she does?"

I perked my head up imidelty as he said that and looked at him. Then he got up and grabbed his backpack as he put it over his shoulders.

"But. Who am I to say? I'm not her and i can't crawl around in her brain trying to figure that out."

I stood up and grabbed my backpack too.

"Shit Larry! You confuse me sometimes..."

He chuckled and nudged my shoulder.

"Now cmon, we got to get to class before the bell rings."

I smiled then me and Larry started to walk inside the school. And that's when I knew, I liked her.. more than anything I've ever felt..|
