Hannah walked past dozens of people in the hallways. All of them were pushing and shoving everyone in their path. She was frustrated – obviously. Today was just not going well. She hadn’t eaten breakfast that morning, and when Hannah doesn’t get her coffee or some food she is not a happy camper. Hannah finally reached her locker, and then fumbling with the combination. She just couldn’t remember anything very well not being caffeinated.
Glancing to her left while putting her jacket on, she stopped. Her breathing quickened and her heart pounded a thousand times faster. There he was; the person she had a crush on for the past year. His name was Mikey. Mikey Way to be exact and Hannah just found him unbelievably gorgeous.
He had chin length brown hair with blond highlights. Pretty hazel eyes, that always shined whenever she watched him talked to his friends. Black and white glasses framed them perfectly. He had a round but square chin, pink lips and a smile that could melt your heart by just looking at it. He wore band shirts and tight jeans. His body type was slim, just like hers. Hannah thought they were a perfect match, the only person that didn’t know it yet was him. They had only shared small conversations, texting the occasional “Hey, What’s up?” then replying, “Nothing much.” Some days, they could talk about different types of music they liked in science, then the teacher telling them to shush and stopping their fun.
She continued putting her stuff into her locker, shoving her lunch in and grabbing her stuff. Hannah’s shoulder was being tapped; she could feel the small jabbing motion near her neck. Turning around, she saw those glasses she adored, and knew it was Mikey.
“Hey Hannah.” He took a sip of the Coke Zero can in his hand. “Sup?”
“Nothing much. What about you?” Hannah’s hands must have been shaking by that time, she hadn’t been that nervous for a long time.
“Not much either. All my friends are gone today, so is my brother Gerard.” He took another sip, shaking the can and dumping the rest into his mouth.
“That sucks! How come your parents let Gerard go and not you?”
“Because Apparently I’m ‘Too Young’, so I can’t go. It does suck.”
“Hey, if you’d like you can sit with our friends at lunch. I’m sure they would love to have you there.”
“Okay, sounds great. I’ll see you.” Mikey hugged Hannah gently goodbye, leaving both of their cheeks red, and left down the hallway recycling his can before turning the corner.
Her crappy day had totally disappeared for that moment, but then came swimming back in when she had gone to class with all her friends with all the drama they caused. She pretty much just thought of Mikey the whole time, but according to Hannah, who wouldn’t?
Half of the day had passed and after band, came lunch. After getting her vegetarian Sandwich, and Mikey giggling “Hannah gots herself a sammich!” they sat with the rest of her friends at lunch. Everyone at the big round table outside was busy eating at first, and of course- Mikey was drinking a Coke Zero and eating sushi he had brought from his house.
Many perverted jokes later, everyone was getting warmed up to Mikey and Mikey had liked hanging out with them as well. Mikey secretly liked Hannah too, and only Gerard knew. He could tell she liked him too. Mikey had started to love her laugh, and the way she always changed her hair. He thought she was very pretty.
Lunch was over and Mikey headed to his next class. And on the way there, he stopped by the stand where you could buy your friends or significant other a present. Like balloons, cards, flowers, whatever. They would deliver them to the person in class, and every time their face would just light up knowing that someone cared and thought about them that day.
He bought a bouquet of flowers, it included a few roses and a few other kinds mixed in. He wrote the secret message on a tiny card, attached it to it and paid the person at the counter. He rushed to class not wanting to be late.
Hannah was already sitting in Science when Mikey walked in. She wondered why he was so late when he had just been with them at lunch. He sat down next to her, tucking loose strand of hair behind his ear and they both flashed a quick smile at each other. They worked by themselves on worksheets the teacher had passed out.
Half way through the class someone knocked on the classroom door. The teacher went to go answer it and opened the door, taking whatever was in the person’s hands and closing the door quietly. She seemed to be smiling, and she was walking towards Hannah, making her ask herself what was going on.
“Hannah, these are for you.” She took them and smiled. Mikey blushed, and turned his head towards her to watch her expression when she read the card.
Go on a date with me tomorrow night? – Mikey
She smiled. Leaning towards the smiling boy next to her she kissed him on the cheek and replied with a “Yes.”
