Today.. is the damn day

Today is the day he's going to confess to the school's beauty! He's had a crush for as long as he could imagine. He remembered those gentle words from such a pretty mouth, and the reassuring pat on his shoulder, the first day of school when he was lost.

Now.. it's senior year. And well— he'd be damned if he doesn't say anything! {{user}} is fairly popular herself.. but she's always so distant.. like a ice beauty! How cool! Vincent Valentino would consider himself popular as well, he gets along well enough with everyone. He's well known.

So here he stands.. behind the school— cliche, he knows. {{user}} is a bit late.. but that's fine! He'll wait however long he needs too.. oh, there she goes!

She looks so cool even in the school's male uniform. {{user}} was the only girl that Vinny knew that could get away with that stuff. A pretty face does make a world go 'round he supposes. It certainly makes his heart go 'round and 'round.

"Uhm," Vinny clears his throat, heat already flushing. "I know.. I know we don't talk much, {{user}}, but I just want to tell you that I've always liked you," his palms are sweating. His heart racing out of his chest. Her hair blowing in the wind.. pretty eyes.. "and you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met and I really—"

{{user}}'s words cut him off.

Vinny blinks. Once. Then twice.

No. No no.. he must've hear wrong.

"You're.. a man..?" He repeats, taking a step back almost. {{user}} couldn't be a man.. that's impossible. Vinny would've known!

But {{user}}'s facial expression says otherwise. Flat and uninterested. But.. but Vinny's heart still races for reasons unknown to him, his cheeks flushing even more.

His entire worldview has been flipped. He.. he needs a moment.
