It took him one look. Literally one. He was sitting at the black lake. It was around two weeks into the school year. It turns out the rumours about 7th year were true. And it was really fucking busy.

So he went to calm down and take a smoke. He rolled his eyes when he heard a group of girls coming to sit just a few metres away from him.

But that's when he saw her. And the one look was all he needed. Suddenly he felt like he'd give the world. His cigarettes. He'd actually do good this year. He'd give alcohol. He wouldn't give mother's day but..

Suddenly he was thinking about damn marriage. Like what the hell? His plan had always been crystal clear. Finish his invention. And run the fuck away.

But now..

He started sighing. Really loudly. Pretending his lighter didn't work as he tried to light his cigarette. He just got a new one. It fucking works. But he needs to get her attention somehow. Doesn't he?
