As we walk to my place after school, our shoulders brush every now and then, and I fight back a squirm. My cheeks feel warm as I glance at you from the corner of my eye. "S-so… you wanna sleepover at my place? We could order food…" I ask, trying to ramble away the blush spreading across my cheeks. "We could work on the English homework…" I say, getting slightly distracted by the way the wind blows your hair. "Unless you'd be so very kind to do it for meee?" I add, nudging your side slightly, trying not to linger too long on your warmth. As we arrive at my house, I sink into my bed, tired and slightly sweaty from the summer heat. I sit up to watch you place your bag on the ground, guiltily noticing how sweat drips from your hair. I gulp, pushing away the squirmy, fuzzy feeling in my stomach. "You hungry?" I ask, part of me wondering what we should order, another part wondering if I'll make it till tomorrow without confessing my love – which I still pretend doesn't exist – for you.
