It was the first day of school and I'm already almost late to class. Running out of breath.

Can't seem to breathe and then... I'm on the ground with a thump, I look up and see legs. "Oh my god I'm s-sorry." I look up at the stuttering voice and gasp. It's a boy! I look into his mocha brown orbs.

Then shift to the small freckles on his cheeks and his short dark brown hair then lower to see his huge out stretched hand. Remembering I'm on the floor I grab his hand and go to get up but he wasn't as strong as anticipated. So needless to say he fell on top of me.

Our noses touching I saw a small ocean blue speck in his right eye. He  gasped and went to get up."Sorry I'm Drew. You look l-lost, what c-class do you have?" He asked looking down. "Literature, and yeah I'm kinda running late I can't find it. Could you help me?" He smiled and nodded.

"Which teacher, Mrs. Carlotta?" He asked walking with me. I nodded as he said he had her too. "Oh!" He jumps at my outburst looking at me confused. "I'm Lila." He rolled his eyes and laughed.

We arrived at class, on time luckily. And with no assigned seats we sat next to each other. 

All class we whispered talking how we both loved pokemon and how we both hated tomatoes. Although he hated ketchup while I loved it.

The bell rung and we parted ways. Math and bio passed quickly I made two more friends, Chay a girl with bright pink hair, and Timmy a guy with bright pink hair, snake bites, and a eyebrow ring.

They were twins that decided to dye their hair together to look more "twiny" as they called it. Chay was a Lesbian and loved announcing it to the world. Shouting as she walked into bio "HELLO WORLD THE HOMO QUEER QUEEN HAS ARRIVED!"

I laughed at the memory. Chay jumped on my back and asked why I was laughing. Oh yeah she was also very touchy. I didn't mind though I had a very cuddly personality.

At lunch Chay laid on me complaining how her brother was so boring and quiet. Resulting in a tater tot thrown at her nose. "I'm not boring I just don't want to get expelled." See moments earlier Chay dared her brother to wear boxers for the rest of the day. Of course he said hell no!

Lunch passed with more whines and lots of tater tots to the face. Then I was in art when I noticed a familiar mop of brown hair. I went over and put my hands over his eyes whispering, "Guess who?" He whimpered and replied "I'm sorry daddy." I turned him and looked at him confused.

He gasped and apologized. "I have a bully and I must call him that or he hits me harder." I nodded and hugged him. He whispered, "Thank you for understanding."

I playfully shoved him saying no problem. I looked down seeing his drawing of a beautiful woman, beautiful but very naked.

He blushed, I scoffed "Pervert." He gasped. "Am not! I just like the simplicity." He whispered the last part.

I laughed saying sure. Mr. Camels said we were to make a sculpture for class with a partner. I looked at Drew, "Partner?" He smiled, "Partner."

We looked at all the topics to pick from. "WAR, PEACE, LOVE, EQUALITY, TIME, MUSIC, CUBA." I looked at CUBA and questioned why.

I like Cuba was the answer I got from Mr. Camels. I laughed we picked WAR and thought of doing a tank.

"Now class has everyone picked a topic?" Yeahs filled the room. "Good now as a twist write your topic down then put it in this hat pull out a new one and boom that's your topic."

I groaned so much for my tank. I told Drew I'd get it. I put in WAR and pulled out slowly....EQUALITY. Okay I'm just glad it's not CUBA.

Drew didn't mind the change much either saying he was glad not to get CUBA like me. We thought of doing a scale but thought nah too cliche.

"What about if we have a couple, where the girl wore blue pants and shirt and the boy a pink dress, both looking very happy?" I finished  saying my idea Drew happily nodded.

"Wanna come over tomorrow to work on it?" I asked, He frowned and Said "I can't I have um running club." I didn't push him. I just smiled and we agreed to meet Wednesday, the day after tomorrow.

We had 30 minutes left of class when I realized I was gonna be home alone tonight. My mom was a doctor and gone most nights and dad was out of the picture.

"Hey Drew? Um can I come over today? To work I mean. See my mom won't be home and I get lone-" he put a finger to my lips and said I could.

Internally smiling I thought of the romance novel I was reading how cliche it was to be shut up by a kiss. I wonder how it would have felt if that's how Drew silenced me.

I sigh and shake my head. I couldn't think of him like this we only just met and he probably had a girlfriend. Confusion crossed my face as the tall boy in front walked us toward the bus.

"You don't have a car?" He turned and said no. I smiled and lead him to my bright teal Ford pick-up truck. Mouth gaping he looked at Ariel, yes I named my car, then back at me. I shouted hop in.

Shortly after some bad directions we made it to his house. After meeting his adorable little sister Ellora and his little brother Damian we went to work.

We went to his room to work on the project. Starting we grabbed paper to sketch the project. After drawing it I started to mold the girl. While Drew took a phone call.

After I finished the top half of the girl and he had not returned I went to look for him. Hearing voices I stopped and waited listening. I knew eavesdropping was bad but I couldn't help it I was curious.

"I know but I really like her and I don't wanna lose her because of Dakota." He continued. "She's not gay! Oh God just stop I'm always gonna be a freak." He paused, "No I'm not telling her Goodbye daddy." Whispering the last two words.

Who was the girl he was talking about? Who is "Daddy"? I knew from Chay that she was friends with a Dakota so I'll ask her later.

Hearing him hang up I ran to the room. "Where were we?" He asked smiling. I showed him the girl and we started to actually work together.

Hours later we rested on his couch, looking at the clock I told him I should be getting home.

He walked me to the door and hugged me goodbye. I drove home to find my mum passed out on the couch. I put a blanket on her and walked upstairs.

After doing my usual bedtime routine of putting on pjs and brushing teeth I jumped in bed turned my light out, dreaming of what tomorrow would bring.
