(Jayden)
Finally after a few weeks of us working together we finished our project. On the presentation day, I assumed he noticed I was nervous, seeing as he presented all the slides on his own so all I had to do was talk about my art.
The bell rang as me and Markus walked out of the class together. "So, lunch today?" I asked hoping he didn't forget.
"Oh yeah.. that completely slipped my mind, but yeah, I did say I would. I will probably drive there on my own though." Markus answered with a smile.
"I could text Skyler and tell her to meet us there, that way you don't have to drive there alone." I saw the smile tugging at his lips.
"If You want to, you can." He said sweetly.
"Awesome!" I said excitedly opening the door for him.
As we walked out I saw Skyler already sitting outside in the car. I quickly headed down the stairs and over to her in the car.
"Hey Jayden." She said with a smile.
"Okay, so, I'm going to drive with Markus to the cafeteria, do you mind meeting us there?" I asked.
"Well of course! I'm perfectly fine with that." She said sweetly.
I smiled giving her a thumbs up and immediately ran over to Markus who had his keys out unlocking the doors to his truck.
"Okay, I'm good to go. Skyler said she's fine with it." I explained and he nodded, opening the passenger door for me.
I got in his truck and immediately caught a glimpse of a few pictures tucked in the side of the windshield, of different flowers, I also noticed the feather keychain hanging from the rearview mirror. The truck door opened and I immediately looked his way.
"You like flowers?" I asked, pointing at the pictures.
"Oh, yeah." He mumbled closing the door. He pulled at his seatbelt about to buckle, when I remembered my own.

The drive became quiet after Jayden asked about the flowers. It felt like the moment the truck started to move it made him calm?
"Dandelions." I started suddenly.
"Hm?" Jayden hummed in question.
"My favorite flowers are Dandelions." I explained.
"Did you know that Dandelions are actually weeds?" He asked curiously, making me confused as I drove.
"They are?" I asked, confused as he laughed.
"Yeah, but they are definitely more pretty than actual flowers." He said with a cute small giggle.
"They are." I agreed.
"You are a man of very little words." Jayden stated, and I raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, I've talked a lot more with you, than I have anyone else, so I wouldn't say very few words." I defended, and regretted it instantly.
"Really?" He asked curiously and I took in a sharp breath.
"Yeah." I mumbled and then the truck fell back into silence
'How am I supposed to talk to this man?' I asked myself as I pulled into a parking spot at the cafeteria.
I stopped the truck and we both got out silently, and it felt awkward.
"Ready!?" Jayden asked excitedly, making me nearly jump out of my own skin.
"Y-Yeah." I stumbled over my words trying not to seem startled.
"Alright follow me!"
(Sorry for the short chapter but I wanted to get another one out and didn't want to do too many, switching between prospectives, in each chapter. So enjoy!)
