The change started

Its been two months since we started talking through text. I've been starting off the text with a "hey" or a "hi" this past two weeks. Seems like he's been busy with work. We end our conversations too early and it seems like he's drifting away. On school hours during passing every time I spot him I try to say hi and ask for an high five. He looks at me but looked uneasy. He gave me a high five anyways. The next day I passed by him and ask for a high five trying to block his way he never looked into my eyes. He hesitantly tried to give me a high five but ended up curling his hand into a fist and gave me a fist bump instead. He still didn't look me in the eyes.

Its been a week since I talked to him and he's talked to me. But once I came home he asked me for my number but sadly my phone broke and I couldn't text him if I didn't have any Wi-Fi. But we talked normally on that day. I found his interest in pop music and some K-pop. He planned to let me listen to his playlist on his phone next time we meet at the club and id let him listen to mine. We also made a bet if I could scare him under a week I get to do his hair. If I don't scare him under a week then he would give me some kind of punishment.

Few days later, out of no where a upperclassmen texted me. He told me a lot of things about what I missed the pass few days. Most importantly he told me what he seen and heard. He seen a picture of me and him holding hands. It was during the time he was teaching me how to draw a letter in a cool font. It seemed like someone seen us and took a picture and posted it on a website. I freaked out in the inside because a bad feeling rushed through my gut.

We started getting close

Texting almost everyday. Saying "hi" everyday. Hand hugs everyday. High fives everyday. Every time we pass by each other we would blush and say "hi". Every time I see him my day gets brighter and I can't help but talk about him to my friends. How cute he gets when he tries to hide his flustered face. How much he hates being called cute or nerdy. How he jokes around with his short T Rex arms.

I had a hard time writing a fancy letter in a fancy font (I know pretty dumb). He helps me by drawing the letter a few times better and better. When I still couldn't get it he started writing steps. When I still couldn't get it he took my hand and traced the letter. When I thought I did a pretty good job he erased it again and grabbed my hand and traced the letter again on the paper. When we finished tracing he held my hand a bit longer every time. From just a little touch to 3 minutes hold.

When people started entering the room I had to find a seat but the only seat left was one behind a tall table at the back. Turns out he also had to find a seat. He looked at me and walked towards me. Knowing how small and skinny I am he sat next to me squeezing his butt to the chair. I moved at the edge of the chair so that he could have a bit more space. He put his hand around me from my back and placed his hands on the chairs arm rest where my arm was resting. He closed his eyes and put his head on my shoulder for just a second until everyone had to look back at us and started laughing and giggling.

Started Texting

I found his Facebook profile and I added him. Right away he accepted it and I said hi.

He sent me a hi back and thats when we started talking. I asked how his day was, he told me he was sad because he didn't get to see a certain someone today. I asked if it was his girlfriend and he told me it was a friend (I got my hopes up thinking it was me). We talked about ourselves like our siblings and pets. What color he likes and how he likes cats. He asked for my phone number but sadly I still don't have a phone because my parents still don't trust me as a teenager. But he gave me his just incase I wanted to hear his voice.

When he had to drop at 9pm I could hardly breath from covering my face with a pillow while slapping the ground with excitement. My heart couldn't stop racing, I couldn't wait for tomorrow.

He's talking to me >o<

Recess time

Walking with few friends to watch the dance team dance at the center of the campus.

I spot him walking alone studying notecards. The wind blew the notecards of his hand and he looked around in embarrassment wondering if anybody else seen him. He picked up his cards and started walking towards a pillar and bumps into it.

I started laughing and my friends looked at me like I was crazy because the performance was at a dramatic point. I slowly started backing up and walked towards him. I started thinking oh what should I say, "hey I seen you act flustered twice and I thought it was funny but cute at the same time" I wondered. But then I started thinking oh what if he starts hating me because I called him cute or when I didn't help him pick up his cards.

As I was thinking those things I found myself past him and walking towards the hallway. But he stopped me, he waved and said hi and smiled again. I in the other hand tried my best to act surprised and said "oh haha hi". He walked away and started studying again.

I continue walking towards the hallway and once I reached the walkway I stopped and hide behind a pillar and started screaming inside my head while jumping happily for a second and walked to my homeroom shaking my head happily.

"oh haha hi"

Lunch break

I seen Neal always walking at the second floor with my friends' sister.

My friends sister stood at the second floor alone and I wonder if he would walk there again and see me. I ran up the stairs and stood next to my friends sister and started a conversation while looking around for him. I started cracking up lame jokes like "how do you start a conversation with a fish?" I asked her. She said, "I don't know how?". I said, "by dropping a line..ha..ha..ha..".

She laughed so hard from how lame I sounded, including my fake laugh and I heard a few giggles behind me.

Him and his friends were trying so hard not to laugh at my lame joke trying to cover their mouths while slapping the wall. The three of them looked up at me and started laughing again while walking up towards me and my sisters friend.

He stopped right in front of me and said, "Hi" he paused for a moment and right away he said "see yah" and left with a smile. His friends started hitting him and laughing again trying to mimic my fake laugh. He looked back at me and looked forward right away while catching my eyes he started walking faster than his friends and into his homeroom.

First our eyes meet

I joined a club my brother used to be in. There were mostly guys and only four girls, including me.

He was sitting on a spinning chair playing with his glasses behind the club president. He waved and smiled at me when our eyes met.

Us newbies introduced ourselves. "Hi, my name is Mei and I heard this club would be fun and entertaining like my brother said. I hope I'll make new friends and new memories with you all", I said. My friend in the other hand joined this club because I joined and her sister who is already a member and she introduced herself. Mr President shook our hands and so did the vice president. Meanwhile, he stared at me and smiled, he stood up and shook my hand gently and introduced himself with a gentle smile. "Hi, my name is Neal. It is nice to meet you", he said. He walked away with a cheerful mood towards the VP and Mr P and were friendly with each other. He kept looking back at me and I kept looking back at him.

When we all finished and had to go home he stayed waiting with me at a near by bench. We were alone and silent until it started raining. We ran under the tree and were still quiet. When I seen my ride drive up to me I said goodbye. He stopped me by pulling my bag and asked if I was coming tomorrow again. I told him yes and ran inside my car. I felt cold from the rain but my face was very warm. I asked myself, "What am I thinking?".

Why does my face feel warm
