Part 1

September 2021....

Oh how I thought that I was going to focus on school and sports only, but nope he made me change my thought. On a Wednesday afternoon, I did not like going to this class because it was just so confusing and it made me feel like I was dumb.

Opening the door slowly, while blasting Taylor Swift in my ears. My class was upstairs so I walked upstairs opened the door to the class. I normally don't look around I was always the girl head down and don't talk to anyone.

Just this one time, I looked up and standing there was (let's not say his real name) Lucas he was by the teacher. For some odd reason the teacher waited for everyone to sit down so he can see where he would put Lucas. No one was sitting by me at this time.

There was a girl but the class was too hard for her so she dropped this class. "You can sit by her" pointing at me, he glanced over and knowing me I look away quickly as if he wasn't going to sit by me. We were in a row of four in the seating arrangement. I sat at one end and he sat by me and two other guys by him which shockingly he knew. I knew them but didn't talk to them. They also knew me but it was like a friendship where you talk to each other once in a while but still on good terms.

Lucas sat by me and for at least two and a half weeks we did not look nor talk to each other. It was very awkward. He was the guy that every girl wanted long dark fluffy hair that covered his forehead but you can still see his eyes, tall, nice smile, a nice laugh, deep kinda voice, looked like the type to go skating and play soccer.

The girls in the class were staring at me and I felt uncomfortable because I was the girl no one looked at, but sitting by him everyone looked. To me, he wasn't that guy he was just a normal guy and I thought what was so good about him. His personality seemed like he just wouldn't care and would ghost a girl for every little thing.

The end of September he actually starting talk to me first. I remember the first time we started talking was because my phone was laying upwards so you can see all my notifications pop up. I wasn't really paying attention but I skipped a song and it went to "Dark Red by Steve Lacy" he looked at me "you listen to him?" I looked at him weird "yeah I do why?". In this moment I could see a girl look from the other side glaring. "I like Steve Lacy he's one of my favorite artist" while looking at me smiling. I just laughed and looked away. That was maybe the first time we talked.

Somehow when I got to seventh hour some of the girls were looking at me. Which was weird since they never did, "hey tanishia how was it talking to Lucas" I looked confused "it was nothing". They just stared and went back to talking. I thought to myself why was it so special talking to this one guy.

Everyday after that we slowly started talking it was about the class or helping each other with the work. It wasn't really about our own life or about us being something. Within a week of slwoly talking, he was easygoing and it's like I could tell him everything and he would just listen and not judge.
