It's Monday and the thing I was looking forward to the most was seeing Ivan. I don't know what we are, and it's killing me.
I woke up, and did my normal routine, then went to my closet to pick an outfit.
I decided to wear a pair of white mom jeans that had black back pockets, and a plain black tank top. I also added a light grey varsity jacket since I didn't want to get dress-coded. Next, I throw my hair in a low bun.
I love accessories, so I wear small silver hoops and four rings of the same color.
Finally, I put on a pair of black doc martens.
It was time to get to the car, so I got out of the house and saw dad waiting for me.
I hop into the vehicle and close the passenger door.
"Look who decided to show up! I've been waiting for 10 minutes". He says his voice full of sarcasm, putting in the car keys.
"I was getting ready I'm sorry. I'm not that late. And I'm a girl, I need time to get dressed". I answer him as I put on my seat belt.
"It's ok. And by the way darling, you look beautiful".
"Aw, thanks dad". I reply with a smile.
"So, how's your school life going?" He asks.
"Pretty good. I don't have many friends but Lucy's enough, and she's great." I stop for a second then continue, "And Ivan is also a very nice guy."
I blushed just by saying his name. I need to compose myself.
"Mhm". He hums with a smirk.
"What do you mean mhm? And why are you smirking?"
"Nothing, I just remembered something. No big deal." He continues, still smirking.
I know what he means.
"Yeah....right". I agree anyway.

"Bye dad, see you after school." I hop out of the car and wave at him.
"Bye honey."
I walk inside school and head to my locker to get the book for the first period.
As I open it, my eyes land on a beautiful white rose.
Who is this from?
I pick it up, bringing it to my nose to smell its beautiful scent.
This is a great way to start the day. But it wasn't the only thing in there, I also found a small light purple sticky note.
'A beautiful flower for a beautiful angel -I'
It's Ivan, isn't it?
I uncontrollably smile at the thought of him getting me this flower, feeling my cheeks turning red.
"Good morning Val". I heard Lucy's voice as she taps my shoulder.
"Good morning Lucy, how are you," I answer her holding the rose in my hand.
"I'm great. Who is that from?". She says with a suspicious look.
"I think it's from Ivan, he left me this note." I hand her the light purple piece of paper.
"SHUT UP." She shouts and slaps her hand to her mouth.
"Don't shout!" I whisper scream.
"Ivan Knight just got you a white rose and called you a fucking angel. How are you still alive." She turns down her voice, but it's still loud.
"I don't know how I'm still alive. This boy is trying to fuck with my heart. And it's working."
"Oh, lord! When is it my turn to be happy?" She looks up as if she's praying.
"It'll be your turn one day."
"Hello, ladies". I hear a familiar voice coming from behind. We both widen our eyes and turn around.
Ivan.
"Hey". We both awkwardly say.
"I see you got the flower." He says as he looks at my hand still holding it.
"Yes, I love it. Thank you, it made my day".
"Don't thank me, princess".
And out of nowhere he comes closer and kisses me on the cheek.
Oh god.
"I'll see you in class."
I wave at him as he turns around and walks to Roger.
"OH. MY. GOD". Lucy says stopping at every word.
"What just happened?" I was still frozen in my position.
"Well, he just casually fucking kissed you on the cheek and called you princess. That's what happened." Her eyes were still wide as she was more excited than me.
"I think my heart skipped a beat."
We've already kissed before, but the fact that it happened again gave me some hope that he feels the same way about me.
He does. Right?
