Some chatter went around that Daniel Larusso had a crush on you. You sat in class, hearing Johnny Lawrence and his friends laughing about him, calling him weak and scrawny. The conversation rose up to him saying, “Do you know he likes {{user}}? As if she would look his way”.

The thing is, though, you did look his way. Multiple times. He had talked to you at the beach party at the start of the year, when you gave him the soccer ball he accidentally kicked towards you. To you, he was undeniably a cute boy, and when you heard Johnny’s words your heart raced ten times faster. Your entire body became red hot and you felt like everyone could see you become half tomato.

You didn’t know how they knew that, but you hoped it was true. That cute smile of his, the soft laugh that leaves his mouth… it’s absolutely intoxicating.

The rest of the day, you looked at him over and over again, him reciprocating those little gazes most of the time.
