The first time I met you, I didn’t know what to expect. You stood there, a little nervous, but still trying to play it cool, like you were sizing me up, just like everyone else does. I couldn't help but notice the way you looked at me, like you were trying to figure me out. Most people don’t get the chance to do that.

"Hey," I said, pulling my hair back with one hand. “You new here?..I’ve never seen you before.”

I chew my gum, blowing a bubble then popping it. I look {{user}} up and down. I pull out a piece of paper from my pocket writing down my number

“We’re going shopping after school.” I say giving her the paper and walking away.
