"Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along."

Semmy Carson

"Why do we have to go to school? Can't we all just become some cool hobos?" I whined, as River and I arrived at our school.

A wonderful laugh left his mouth, making me smile as I listened to it.

I loved how I was the reason for that.

"I'm sorry Semmy, but no. We can't, so you better just follow me or I will kick your ass" He smirked, walking towards my locker.

"You wouldn't dare!" I gasped and stopped walking to prove him a point.

"Oh no?" He raised his eyebrow, stepping closer to me which made me stop breathing yet my heart beat faster for him.

"N-no!" I tried not to show how much this actually effected me.

Because my stomach turned into this big rollercoaster; everything went fast and loud for him. Being this close to him definitely made me feel weak in the knees. And a simple look in his strong eyes and I'd instantly do anything to make this boy happy.

I could feel his minty breath on my skin as tingles crashed over my skin. Our eyes locked, created this warm aura around us as I drowned into those gray orbs. At this point I was longing for his strong muscled arms to be around me.

"Don't stare at me like that.. Just kiss me you fool!" I whimpered impatient, enjoying how close we were.

"I won!" He laughed and pulled me closer by my waist, pushing his lips on mine.

The colors bursted and everything inside of me danced happily as his lips slowly moved against mine in sync. I loved that cherry flavor of his as I craved for more.

He deepened the kiss and continued to kiss me softly whilst I felt the good goosebumps everywhere and some strong connection raised up between the two of us.

Unfortunately he pulled away from me, we were at school after all and I didn't like the attention. Everyone was staring and shocked over how 'the River Allen' was gay.

"I have to go to my class babe, see you at our break?" He winked. "Oh, and pay attention in class! We don't want any hobos here" He grinned, walking away from me.

I giggled and shook my head at that as I took my books from my locker.

"I forgot something!" River rushed back, making me look at him as he pulled me in one of his warm comforting hugs.

"Hmm.. I love this" I smiled, snuggling in his arms. "And I love you River Allen, a lot" I told him in all honestly.

How happy I was that nothing felt awkward or weird between us just because River wasn't ready to say it back. Instead, everything still felt normal and I was ready to wait for him. Even if it was an eternity; I'd always wait for him.

Heck, even if he didn't like me I would have watched him being happy with someone else.

Just for his happiness, because that was what mattered the most to me.

"You really deserve the best in the world Semmy" He said, kissing the top of my head and rubbing my back in circles which calmed me down.

This boy somehow had this power over me; he had the ability to make me feel anything whether it was the good or the bad. I have felt it all and I loved it.

I loved him.

"You are the best, mister Allen" I giggled and looking happily into his eyes.

"Awe.. you are so adorable!" He grinned, knowing I hate that.

"Hey! I am not adorable!" I pouted. "I am a strong and big young man!"

"Look at you! With your big green puppy eyes and pouted pink lips, it's soooo sweet and adorable!" He smirked yet he seemed to mean it.

"I am not adorable! Now shut it, you stupid sports jock" I huffed.

"Oh you love sports jocks huh? You definitely have a thing for them" He said, probably enjoying the fact that he got me all silent and flustered.

"Don't you have to be somewhere? You'll get late in class" I changed the subject, crossing my arms stern.

"I don't care about being late, I just love to tease you" He winked cheekily.

"Oh shhhhh!"

"That makes you even cuter! You're like my little lobster" He told me.

"Ew! Is that your way of giving me nicknames? Have you seen those animals in real life? They are scary as hell with there small black eyes, weird whiskers and crazy arms!" I looked in shock at him and he suddenly started to laugh at my words.

"Anyways, I'll see you later okay? Text me when you need anything, my beautiful boy" He kissed my cheek and went to his class for real this time, my eyes were still staring at the end of the hallway.

My heart couldn't stop dancing anymore; there was so many love and happiness to be found.

And all because of River.
