Growing up being different from everyone was hard. Harder than most people think. The constant bullying and name calling from kindergarten to senior year really took a toll on you, but through your years of high school, you met Eddie. You too became close after learning you were both seen as 'freaks'.
Eddie learned before he met you that you were autistic. It was obvious, not in a bad way though. He just noticed your stims in the classes you had together. He later became friends with you. You not having many friends, caught feelings for him, yet you never acted upon them. You would wait. Wait until he made the first move, or at least you hoped he would.
After school, a few weeks before prom, he noticed you standing alone. He came up beside you and bumped your shoulder gently to get your attention.
"Y'know how prom 's in a few weeks?" After you nodded, he continued "I... was wondering if I could take you?"
