As one could expect, it was… a little tense the next day at school. The rush of brain chemicals had long ceased and their effects notably absent. I had so many lingering thoughts and questions distracting me from the normal monotony of school life. What exactly were we? Friends with benefits? Boyfriend/girlfriend? My mind was racing with the possibilities… ultimately though, it really came down to one matter: how far could this go? It was the first time I had ever gotten this close to another human being physically, sexually, emotionally- I didn’t want to screw it up! If I played my cards right, we could go all the way…
We caught each other’s gaze in the earlier class. I must’ve been looking at her as though I had been struck with cupid’s arrow because she grinned and pursed her lips as if she was stifling a bigger grin. I was quickly overcome with the need to compose myself and straightened my posture a little bit. I patiently waited to approach her after Spanish class again, just like I had done the previous day. She seemed to anticipate this attempt to approach her as she had adjusted her pace accordingly to allow me to catch up.
