january liked june,
june liked january.
january was too scared to talk to june,
june thought january has really beautiful eyes.
one day, june sat next to january at lunch.
they talked, a lot.
this went on for several weeks
they became really close friends.
on a cold winter afternoon, they started to be more than friends.
"do you want to go for coffee after school?"
asked june
"it would be an absolute pleasure."
january replied.
sure enough,
right when the bell rang,
they set out for the coffeeshop.
it was quite a walk from their parking spot.
neither of them cared.
january really wanted to hold june's hand.
so that's what happened.
june smiled
and squeezed tightly.
