"Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry. All that blood was never once beautiful. It was just red."

"Got you," I said finding the book that I need to write the assignment.
Alex was already sitting with the books he needed.
He's quick.
I kept the books I needed and sat beside him.
We sat in silence for hours while working on our assignments but still touching elbows or knees made us feel the comfort of each other's presence.
I put my head on the desk. This stupid freaking subject. I can't understand a single word.
After finishing one subject assignment which I had honestly planned to finish hours before the deadline.....I started chemistry.
And I passionately despise this.
The one time I liked chemistry is when I used to think we'd go to labs and stuff.
Softly hitting my head 1...2...3...so that my brain works.
Before I can hit once more someone's hand stopped me.
Oh
I forgot I brought someone with me. Keeping my hand on the desk I turned to look at him.
He watched me with a blank face. As if saying 'You're crazy'.
I smiled sheepishly as he removed his hand and brought it to my hair. I closed my eyes as he caressed it softly.
"Come on, let's get some coffee." He said standing up after holding my hands.
I followed him as we made our way to the café just next to the library.
He ordered for both of us as I got out and sat on the bench outside near some huge trees.
Flowers were blooming as if it was spring. Maybe it was.....I have lost track of time and seasons.
I thought he'd have to search me but looks like he noticed me going out.
Sitting next to me he handed me my coffee.
I smiled taking them and noticed him staring at me.
"Do we have to complete all of it today?" I asked looking at him referring to our assignments.
Instead, he looks at me like I'll give him an answer.
I shrug.
He shrugs back. I scrunch my nose at him. And he mimics my action again.
I huff wondering if my brain can work or is it tired...I get distracted as he picks up my hand interlacing them and bringing them up to his lips.
My heart skips a beat at that action.
"What's your ideal type?" I ask him curiously.
He looks at me as if I have grown another head.
"Black straight hair, Black eyes with light gold flecks, apparently can talk my ears off but still cutely shy. And how tall are you?" He asked as I look at him dumbfounded.
"5'8," I said lowly.
He nods, "5'8". I open my mouth before closing it again probably looking like a fish.
I roll my eyes as a grin forms on my face.
I love you.
I wanna say this.
I so wanna say this.
"I got you something." He speaks pulling me out of my thoughts.
I look at him confused. He got out a box with his jacket's pocket. Pulling me closer he hands me the box.
"Open it," he says as I look at it.
I found a beautiful butterfly-shaped pendant in it.
I take it out and a huge smile breaks out on my face.
"When did you get it?" I asked remembering I saw it during our trip to one of the stores.
"That's a secret." He said shrugging.
Before I can gush over how beautiful it is he grabs my chin gently towards him.
"I...I..." he stutters. I frown and grow concerned.
"What is it?" I ask softly almost as a whisper.
He looked as if was thinking hard about something.
Closing his eyes for a second he opened them as his eyes flickered with something unreadable.
His eyes are breathtakingly beautiful because they hid almost everything he thinks.
But at the moment I cannot read them.
"I...I love you." He said.
My eyes widened and I blinked processing if what I heard right now was just a part of imagination or real.
"What?" I said as I looked at him shocked.
"I love you so much. I know you don't-" Before he could continue I placed my hand on his mouth stopping him.
Moving closer I rested my forehead against his.
"I love you too," I whispered.
"I knew I did when I first locked eyes with you. Then your eyes haunted me all summer.
I had to control myself to not say anything when other girls threw themself at you."
"And when we were in the same group I was ecstatic," I said with a small smile as I remembered that day.
He stops me from speaking any further as his lips are pressed against mine.
Unlike the other times, this time is completely surreal.
His arms wrap around me, holding me as close as humanely possible, meanwhile, my heart has shapeshifted into butterflies.
I think that this feeling is never gonna change no matter how many times we kiss.
Gripping the side of his face I kiss him deeper as our lips come together in a way that creates fireworks.
Pulling away he smiles as his dimples pop out.
Ah not to be dramatic or anything but his smile would be the death of me.
Why doesn't he smile more often? I poked his dimples loving how his face lit up.
"We should get our things." He said holding my hand.
"Mm," I said staring at him.
"Stop," he says.
"Stop what?" I asked tilting my head.
"Stop looking at me like that." He said as his head dipped down and gave a fluttering kiss on my neck.
I nearly gasped at how it gave rise to goosebumps all around.
He pulled back to see my reaction. He knew the effect he had on me and he always seemed to use it.
We finally got up and went back to the library.
After placing the books at their places we gathered our things and reached the parking lot for his car.
In a few minutes, we reached my house. Right before I got out I got a call from mom.
She told that she and dad had to leave for an important meeting in a nearby town.
She would return by tomorrow afternoon and also reminded me to get my boyfriend.
Oh gosh. I looked in his direction eyes wide as soon as she says that. After the call ends I look at him who was curious.
"Mom invited you to dinner tomorrow," I said and watched how he went from calm to nervous to calm again.
"She knows you're my boyfriend," I say and he frowns.
"Okay," he said.
"Why am I panicking and you are not?" I asked.
"Nothing will happen." He said reassuring me.
I nodded and he got out coming to my side. As I got out I looked at him and then at my house.
"Stay."
