Bradley was nervous. He had to present his song next period. 

Hi Bradley. I too have Brown hair and eyes, but I don't have dimples. I wish I had dimples. Unfortunately my younger sister received them and not me however, I like to poke them when she laughs. She hates me for this, but I don't care . She still loves me. My biggest fears consists of heights and attention. It is not that I fear attention rather than hate it. I don't like it because I tend to get nervous and turn bright red. It is a habit that I absolutely hate. What are your biggest fears? Are you planning to hold them against me?

~September

September's note somehow calmed his nerves. Bradley eased up as his pen wrote his response to his new friend.

Hello September. No I am not going to hold your fears against you. I am not that type of person. Weirdly enough, we don't have similar fears. I think my biggest fear would be disappointment or disapproval. I hate disappointing people and being disapproved by my loved ones. I hate doing things that upset them or hurt them in any way. I am afraid that someday that this is something that I will do. I probably won't, but there is still a small chance. Speaking of family, how many siblings do you have? I have a sister named Natalie.

~Bradley

The lavender sticky note was once again placed under the desk. 

Bradley was soon sat in his last class awaiting for his presentation to begin. His mind wandered to the worst case scenarios to the point where he almost missed her name. "September Adams" Brad instantly looked up to the girl who stood in front of the class. The mystery girl was September. She was September. His mind rushed with thoughts. They flooded his mind, but as soon as she started to speak they drained away. Her voice was soft; velvet to his ears.

Her paper was about them. It was not long, but he knew what every word was. Bradley knew what the notes truly read and who the project was about. He could not take his eyes off of her. When she finished, Brad clapped the loudest however, Sept didn't notice.

And then it was Brad's turn.

"Brad Simpson" He did not look back at September as he made his way to the front of class. His hands gripped onto the guitar as he started to present his song to his class.

"Yeah you!

Yeah you!

I used to wanna be
Living like there's only me
And now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind (yeah you!)
I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike (Yeah you!)Look at me now, I'm falling

I can't even talk, still stuttering

This ground of mine keeps shaking

Oh oh oh, now!

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to youEverybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (yeah you!)I used to ride around
I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face (Yeah you!)
I've got your photograph
But baby I need more than that
I need to know your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this (Yeah you!)Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to youEverybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah you!)Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah you!)All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah you!)All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah you!)Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah you!)Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah you!)Yeah you!"

The song was acoustic, just how he wanted it. The class clapped as the bell rang. Bradley packed away his guitar. He turned around and September was gone. A single sigh escaped his lips as he trudged out the room and into the crowded hall. 

September stood outside the door awaiting for his arrival.

"Hi Bradley." Her smile was bright. Her cheeks were a shade of pink. Brad took in her features quickly before he gave her a smile back.

"Hello September."
