Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: 8th Grade Pt. 2

I had to stop thinking and head to Saturday school tomorrow to make up some extra work and Mateo was gonna be there too. I stopped overthinking and went to bed.

My mom dropped me off, and there he was standing at the front gate with his friends. It was awkward for a little bit but I gathered up some courage and went to talk to him. It felt normal, it felt nice to talk to him. We went inside and were put into groups, luckily me and him were in the same group so we headed to the same class. We sat at the same table but a chair away from each other. My friend was in the middle of us.

Everyone got to work and all of a sudden the room became dark. The teacher turned off the lights so we could all study quietly. As I looked up I saw him and our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat. His eyes were sparkling and they were so beautiful. At that moment I took a piece of paper and pencil and I wrote down "Yes". I passed it to him and his face lit up with happiness. He was caught by surprise but in a good way.

I got up and switched seats with my friend. I wanted to get closer to him. I wanted to get to know him better and I did. He told me his deepest secret and I could feel he was a little scared to tell me and see my reaction but I accepted it, I accepted him no matter what happened in his past.

I decided it was only fair to tell him my deepest secret too. I was also scared of his reaction because I was scared he wouldn't want me anymore but he did. I really started to like him.

We called our friend Noah on the computer and told him the news and he was so happy about it. But every time I laid my head on Mateo's shoulder, Noah would say hey no touching like a protective friend he is. We kept doing it on purpose cause Noah's reaction was funny to us.

We had to end the call because it was break time and we had to go to the bathroom and get water, or just walk around. While we were walking Mateo pointed at something on his hand and said this is for you. It was a scar that looked like a heart. Once again my heart skipped a beat. How is he making me fall for him like that, he's special, I feel it. When we went back outside it was raining and I started to play in the rain with my friend and went to class soaking wet.

Saturday school was almost over and I felt sad. We all had to wait in the library area so we could get dismissed. I was tired and the rain made me sleepy so he let me put my head on his lap. I was staring at him, admiring how perfect he was without even noticing. Then out of nowhere he covered my face with his hand, I was caught by surprise and was wondering why. When I moved his hand I saw that my friend was trying to flick me with a rubber band and he was protecting me. How is he so perfect and adorable at the same time?

It was time to go home, so we had to go our separate ways. I felt sad that I had to go but I couldn't do anything about it.

I was home and the first thing I did was text them. I was happy and the whole day he was on my mind. I was falling for him really hard. I had forgotten all about my ex and my heartbreak. All of my problems disappeared and he was the reason.
