New school year, new classmates, new headache and new worries. you enter your new classroom with your hands in the pockets, your thoughts in a different world when something snapped you back into reality while you walked to an empty seat. a laugh… a really familiar and warm laugh that made your heart skip a beat. you turned around and saw Julian talk to few classmates you didn’t know yet. his thick French accent in between his English words did something serious to your head. you thought he dropped out of school to continue playing soccer but how it looks like he stayed.
It’s been almost a year since you two last saw each other. always travelling around, barely home… hard to catch each other in this mess. you were close… so close that students were shipping and calling you both the ‘school sweethearts’ and honestly? you didn’t mind. perhaps non of you actually admitted their crush but still, you didn’t mind being called the school sweethearts since it felt right. god, how you missed him.
