(EJ Caswell's Perspective) 

God, I loved the way Ricky smelled. 

He never, NOT ONCE, smelled bad. 

The vanilla shampoo and conditioner he used worked wonders.

And I know. You probably think I'm a creep. 

But I'm not. I just like to smell him. That scent makes me feel safe.

Although, if it was on anyone else, I don't think I would even care about it.

But since it is on Ricky Bowen, I try every chance I get to smell him...

Okay, the more I talk, the more I realize it is kind of weird... but I DON'T CARE! Ricky Bowen smells so FUCKING good! And I want to just lay in his arms and sniff him all night long!

The problem with this fantasy is that it will never happen. 

He's bisexual so I know that he would date a guy but me, I don't know. And even if I did, I'm too shy to do anything about it.

I'm sitting in Chemistry just staring at his beautiful curls. I wish I could just put my hand through them and just pet him while he writes his notes. But I'm too scared to even talk to him.

I move closer to him just to subtly smell that vanilla scent I love so much.

I instantly feel better.

Ricky Bowen, even if he doesn't know it, makes me feel more safe than I ever have in my life.

I have two classes with him and I sit behind him in both...

That is definitely not something I asked for... or begged for...

No, not at all...

I guess, I'm just lucky I guess...

Okay, fine, I totally paid people to switch seats with me just so I can sit behind Ricky. But I can't help it. He's so cute and the air conditioning always wafts his smell right into me.

I love it so much. 

I've been secretly taking whiffs for at least 2 months. 

I want to talk to him. I do. But every time I work up the courage, he smiles and I run away.

Like I literally sprint away as fast as I can... 

It's been 2 months and I don't think he even knows my name...

I was still thinking about Ricky, like I always do, when I came up to my locker.

There was this cute little bag hanging off of it. 

I looked around behind me to find the culprit of this secret gift but I couldn't find anyone.

I shrug and I open the bag.

And when I see what's inside, I almost scream.

Vanilla 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner...

That is what was in the bag.

I look around again. Nobody is around...

I look in the bag again and I see a note at the bottom of it.

It says:

Don't be a creep, EJ. I don't know why it was so difficult for you to just ask me for the shampoo I use and for my number. But since you are too scared to ask for either, here's both. Text me sometime. ;) 

Ricky.

And I turn the note over with shaking hands. 

And there it is. Ricky Bowen's number...

I don't whether to scream in excitement or cry in excitement...

So, I do both. And then I send him a text.


hi

it's ej by the way

Hello, creep.

it's Ricky by the way

The one you kept smelling in class

yeah...

sorry about that, I just really liked that smell...

and I liked the person attached to it...

So, maybe we should go see a movie

Where you can snuggle up to me

And smell me all night long haha

YES PLEASE

I mean, yeah sure whatever...

See you in chem, creep

I'll give you the details of our date then ;)


I smile at my phone. And I blush furiously. Usually, I would be embarrassed but I don't care!

I'M GOING ON A DATE WITH RICKY BOWEN!

I open up the bottle of shampoo and take a whiff.

I'm going on a date with Ricky Bowen!




I don't know how to feel about this one. EJ is a creep but at least, they both are cute!
