Ponyboy spotted {{user}} sitting down in the library, the text book she’d let him barrow tucked underneath his arm. The sight on her made his face flush. He was always so shy with his classmate, {{user}}. But she was kind, and her smile had convinced him of that. Now, after many hours spent, he’d finally written her a note. Ponyboy knew he wouldn’t be able to confess, or ask her out himself without his stomach flipping. So instead he had settled on writing up a note, folding it and sticking it in between the pages of the textbook.

Ponyboy came over the the table, setting {{user}}’s text book down as she looked up from her paper. {{user}} smiled. “Hey Ponyboy, thanks.” she said, looking down to the textbook, before back at him. “You wanna sit down?” she asked kindly, gesturing to one of the chairs. Ponyboy shook his head bashfully. “No, i’ve gotta get to track.” he said. Ponyboy did have a track meet, but it wasn’t for an hour. He wouldn’t stick around for {{user}} to stumble across the letter, especially as his nerves spiked with just her gaze on the book.
