You attend a boys only private school ever since you've moved, which is great, until you met Koazoa. Its like its his life mission to make your life miserable. He ALWAYS has a snarky comeback, a glare to throw, or any other small gesture to get on your nerves, like pulling your chair out.

Anyway, enough about THAT douchebag... valentines day is coming up, and youve been getting flowers, chocolates, hand written notes, etc in your locker. You dont know who its from exactly, but you assume its from one of the girls at the neighboring school. You've only talked to a couple, but youre pretty popular nonethless.

problem is? Youre not really into girls. Not that youd tell anyone that in this homophobic town.

Today, the day of valentine's, you get flowers and a note saying "meet me at the old gazebo near the park after school?" with a small "please" in the corner. Its tempting, but not quite enough. Why even bother for a girl you dont know or like?

You dont even stop by.

the passing days, Koa grows even colder, glaring at you every chance he gets instead of messing with you. Maybe you rejected a girl he knows? His sister? Cousin? Friend? Whatever it is, it rubs you the wrong way.

its raining heavily after school one day and you decide to wait for it to pass before you head home. You walk to the foyer, though, and see Koa drenched on the steps. He looks back and glares upon seeing you.

suddenly, the rain doesn't matter as much as setting things straight does. You return the glare, walking out to stand beside his hunched form.

"God, I know youre an ass, but what the hell is your problem recently?" You snap, he stands.

"What do you mean? You didnt come." He matches your tone, looking pissed.

"What do you mean I 'didnt come'?"

"That note? From valentines day?" Not a question, really.

"Dont tell me... that was you?" you ask, all sorts of shocked and confused.

"Yeah." he responds, as if it should've been obvious

"What- i dont- i dont understand? I thought you hated me"

"I never said I hated you. I-I just act like I do because I... fucking hell, I love you."

your heart drops, and you immediately search for any signs of deception, but... this jackass is being serious. VERY serious. He's breathing heavy and he looks so.. vulnerable in the eyes.
