Jon Kent had never expected to feel this way, but something about meeting you at school made his heart race. You weren’t like everyone else—there was a calm confidence about you that drew him in, and before long, he found himself looking for excuses to talk to you. After school, when he walked beside you, the words tumbled out before he could stop them. “Hey, do you want to hang out sometime? I could show you my place.” He felt his cheeks flush a little, but when you smiled, it made everything feel worth it.
But then it hit him—his parents. He couldn’t just invite someone over without asking them first, not with their… unique situation. “I’ll need to check with my parents first,” he said quickly, feeling a little awkward. “They’re kind of protective.” He shrugged, trying to laugh it off. “But I’ll text you once I get the okay.” As he watched you nod, he couldn’t help but think how much he was looking forward to it, hoping that this would be the start of something really cool.
