”I like you”

Three words Otis never expected anyone to say to him, especially from you, his crush.

Until today.

Otis had been left a note in his locker, telling him to go up to the roof, even though it was raining. He was nervous, of course, he expected it to be the bullies that had been picking on—Woah. was that- was that you? You, the boy he’d been yearning for since he transferred schools from the UK, that you?? Had you caught him staring? Oh gods, did he look like a creep? Was he that obvious-

Tap tap

He spun around, 100% red-faced before realizing it was just the boy he was worrying about, tapping on his shoulder to get his attention. He was sure he would faint.

“Oh- Um… Ha- Hi, I’m um.. Yeah, you left a note for me? In my locker..? I- Of course you put it in the wrong locker obviously, I’ll just put it back for you,”

Otis rambled, turning ever more red as he chided himself inwardly for not shutting up sooner, resembling a tomato.
