This is a romance-ish story so if you don't like romance stories then you can leave. (you can read it down there or in the project) ------------------------------Chapter 3------------------------------ 30 minutes later the bell rang, I got up and grabbed my backpack slowly and turned towards Katherine, “Hey can you talk a little before lunch? At my locker” “Sure, I guess” she replied, quickly packing up I walked to my next class, which was close to Charlie’s class. I turned expecting to find Charlie there waiting for me as we usually talk a little before we go to class but was surprised when I found Harper there instead. “Hey” I say, “Where’s Charlie?” “She told me to go to class first and she has something to tell you at lunch” she said, taking out her water bottle. “Okay, can you tell Charlie I’ll be a little late for lunch? Thanks!” I told her, I walked away quickly, ignoring Harper calling after me. I walked into my history class, don’t do anything stupid, Katherine probably doesn’t even like you, I looked at the clock, lunch was only an hour away. At my locker I waited for Katherine, I looked at my locker, too nervous to do anything else, the crumbs that seemed to come from nowhere, the to do list covered with words, the scent of pine needles and peppermint seemed strange in the middle of October. “Hey” a voice called I look at the girl walking down the hall, Katherine, “Hey I just wanted to tell you something...” “Yes?” she asked I hold out a sunflower I picked from the school garden, “I really like you, more than just a friend...” She looked at me and took the sunflower from my hand, her hand touching mine. **Charlie's p.o.v** I sat at our usual table nervous to eat. I see Harper walking towards me, “Hey” she said, sitting down I wave at her, “I’m scared, what if he rejects me?” I ask, picking at the food She looks at me and smiles warmly, “Relax he won’t, I’m sure of it” I started to reply but froze when I saw Ollie’s arm around a girl, his jacket tied around her waist. “Hey” he said I look at him, “Hey.” I stared at the girl he was next to, Katherine I thought, isn’t that the girl he has a crush on? “So, this is uh my girlfriend, Katherine” I froze but quickly gave him a smile, “Congratulations” I glanced at Harper, giving her a look. “Hey so uh I have to go to my room to get something, I’ll be back soon.” I left running not waiting for an answer.
