~Ethan's POV~

"Oh...h-hi there", you whispered as your faces where only inches apart.  Was that your heart beating or was it someone banging a drum in your ears?

A blush rises onto her checks, matching the rosy colors of her lips. You started to notice everything about her and you took mental notes.

-Her skin is flawless. What skincare does she use? Future conversation topic?

- She has an unnoticeable freckle next to her nose.

-Her lips looked velvety smooth and plump, like a peach you just want to bite into.

-Her eyes had specks of green mixed in with the chocolate brown. They were so filled with emotion. As you looked closer they seemed to be...

Confused?

Dammit. She had been talking but your thoughts and deafening heartbeat had covered them up.

"Ummmm..." Bianca said breaking eye contact  and searching for a way around you. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that", you stated quickly, hoping to redeem yourself.

"Oh I just said excuse me. I'm sorry for bumping into you".

"Oh yeah...uh- I'm sorry too".

You both stood there, still so close for what would have been seconds, but felt like days.

Is this what it feels like to be in love?

As you continued to look into her eyes, you noticed something.

Her eyebrows where furrowed and her face looked serious.

Did she still hate you after all you did?

"I guess anyone has the right to do that", you thought. "After all, I did bully her for six years".

You sighed.

~Bianca's POV~

Shit shit shit shit shit.

The last person you wanted to see at the moment, just magically appears right in front of you. Close enough to feel his breath and smell his cologne (which you remember as a musky and manly scent from the years of being beaten up).

But this was a great opportunity, you couldn't take it for granted. You looked for possible exits so he didn't have anyway to escape. The street was crowded, making it easy to lose him if he did decide to run.

You had to see him again.

"Oh yeah...uh- I'm sorry too", he sighed as a look of obvious embarrassment spread across his flawless skin- wait.

Stop stop stop stop stop.

You have to kill him. No starting to like him.

You only had one option left to keep him from leaving.

"Hey," you spoke hesitantly. "Would you uh- like to maybe...go out sometime".

A/N: IM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING (even though you probably don't care lmao). I've been in a bad emotional state recently as I figured out some terrible news. Furthermore, I've been getting very little sleep and have had 2 panic attacks in the span of 24 hours. I wanted to get this story out though so hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things. Jesus this is a long announcement! Thx for the read💙
