"What's that?" Darren
asks me. I'm looking at his eyes, straight into the green.
"Are you okay? You dropped your... Everything Book." he
reads the label. "And in the corner... says my name?"
he asks me. F/ck! I quickly scramble around, collecting my books.
"Yeah... I have a favorite cousin named Darren. He's
only four, though." I lie. Darren scratches the back of his
neck, his cheeks turning a bit red. "See you, then." he
takes my hand for a second. Omigod. HE TOUCHED MY HAND!
[girlcrushfreakingout. LOL.]

"You were awesome at practice today, Sum." Grace opens
her locker. I slide in my bag; along with my Everything Book, and
take out some textbooks. "You were first, as usual..."
she'd give a cheerful tone. Was my bestfriend (since grade 3)
jealous of me? She hands me a pen and line piece of paper.
"Write me the reasons why you like... Duck Walrus."
Duck Walrus was the nickname I gave to Darren, so people
don't figure out I like him. I jot down some things:
~cute
~funny
~gentle
~smart
~determined
~can't stand marie
"Done." I click the pen and hand the note and stylo to
her. She reads it; I can tell because she controls her eyes by
each word. "Wow, you two have a lot in common!" she
exclaims. Grace is like Aphrodite; the love goddess. She can
match, and it's a talent.
--
"Heyy, Summer!" Marie calls out. Her tone; high-pitched
and seductive. I look up to her, giving her a nod. She rolls her
grey eyes; she's not interested since I was 'rude' to
her. I slide into my seat. And so does Darren; next to me.
"This is biology... so we need to partner up." Darren
whispers. Marie glares at us; she's jealous, the way her
blush is ranged: pink to rouge mixed. Then her gloss is shinier
than ever; Kewl Kiwi Kissalicious... I can smell the aroma from
here. She's tapping her manicured nails on the island, with
an empty seat beside her. She's expecting Darren to sit next
to her. He doesn't.
--
"Now that you have partners, this will be the forever
seating; unless there's a substitute." Professor Farrel
explains. He begins to draw diagrams of frogs. "We'll
begin dissecting... now!" he then removes a thick veil,
revealing some frogs. "EWWW!" Marie screams. Darren
slides her hand under the table where my hand is. And he
accidently makes the test tubes shatter from the spot.

DARREN DOESN'T LIKE SUMMER, BTW. Not yet. o.o

TEASER: Grace squeals and gives a hug to Darren, lifting her leg
into a 45 degree angle.
