Someone to love

The Other Guy

I've never really paid any attention to him until today. This guy named Jack sits behind me in science and he's always starring at me. I mean ya I sit in front of him but even when we're outside he stares at me. I think he likes me but I don't really know him. I mean I see him here and there but I didn't really get a chance to meet him. His lockers right next to mine and we say hi and bye and stuff like that but that's it. I invited him over for homework today so I can get to know him better. It's not that I wanna like him back it's just that I feel kinda weird about this stranger staring at me 24-7 so if I get to know him better it won't be as weird.

After school, Jack came over and it turns out he's pretty smart. So we talk for a while and before we knew it it was 6.
"We should do this again sometime" says Jack.
"Ya" I agree.

So Jack kept coming over after school and it's been a month now. So we were talking and I notice that Jack was slowly moving closer to me. I could tell he was trying to do it unnoticeable but he didn't do it very well. I kinda got nervous but I decided to pretend that I didn't notice him. Then he turned my head and tried to kiss me but for a split second I thought of Noah and just turned away.
"Sorry I didn't mean to......."
"No I'm sorry. I'm just not ready yet that's all" I say feeling embarrassed for what I just did.
"Still thinking of Noah?"
"How did you know?"
"O come onnnnn. It's so obvious." I'm surprised he knew.
"Was it that obvious?"
"Well I noticed it. I don't know if anyone else did but......."
I shut him up by kissing him.
"There. Is that what you wanted?"
"You didn't have to do that Zoe."
"I know. I wanted to"
The rest of that evening was pretty awkward but I loved it so much.
