After class, I stood at the campus gates hoping Jayce would walk by. I was right, he was walking towards the gates when he spotted me, he immediately hid in his hood so I couldn't see his face."Jayce!" I ran after him and grabbed his arm."Is something, my love?" He didn't look at me."I was going to say, well, I regret my answer. I want to, well, spend time with you too." Okay, that was brave. Seemingly surprised, he lifted his head. I gasped when I saw his face, he had one black eye and a long, transverse scar across his nose."What happened to you?" I asked, examining his face. Without realizing it, my hands were already on his face, stroking the injuries, feeling his cheekbones, the line of his perfect lips. He just looked me in the eyes the whole time. Then I got to a point where I was staring into his green eyes as well."Are you okay?" I broke the silence. He smiled at me. He had such a warm smile I could feel it up to my chest. His hand gently wrapped mine and showed me the way."Wait, where are we going?" I asked curiously."Trust me, my love." He answered softly. We were out of town, in a field of flowers. Purple, pink,red,green, yellow,orange, and white. I had to blink a few times to get used to the many colors."Wow." I said amazed and let go of his hand."Do you like it?" I turned to him."Very. But why are we here? And why don't you tell me who did this to you?" I watched his sweet smile fade."Trust me when I say it doesn't matter." He sighed. He bent down and picked a white flower."Take it, white suits you my love." He said softly while handing me the flower."Thank you." I replied and smiled at him. When he smiled dimples formed on his cheeks, but when he smiled it was especially noticeable in his eyes, his smile warmed your heart. He took my hand and pulled me across the meadow. There are moments like that you just wish they would never end. Jayce looked me up and down. I couldn't help but grin."You look like an angel." He said softly and looked at me dreamily."Really?" I asked playfully."An angel sent by God." He looked at me, lost in thought."Then who are you that I got sent to you?" I asked with a grin."Nobody, but I want to be the one you spend the rest of your life with." I saw a glimmer of fear in his eyes."Why do you want that?" I asked."Do you know that feeling when you meet a person and you immediately know what role they will play in your life? You don't need words, you just need each other to feel found, you are such a person, love." He looked at me with a slight smile. His hair was perfect, his eyes glittered in the sunshine falling on them. He stood there and I was here. So

close, yet so far. I could not sleep. I just rolled around for the last hour. But maybe my eyes closed from exhaustion.

I just fell asleep but then these annoying noises came at the window."What the heck is that?" I cursed. I got up. Nova slept soundly. I opened a window and looked down."Jayce? You're a lunatic." Jayce was standing downstairs with a handful of little pebbles." I need Nova." he called out in a whisper., I beg your pardon-? Nova-eh-are you two-?" I looked questioningly at Jayce."I can't focus on anything but her," he said with such abandon you could say the boy was doomed."Is she asleep?" he asked quickly. I nodded vigorously."Oh, fuck." He cursed under his breath and ran away.

 When I woke up Maddy was standing by my bed and stemmed her hands on her hips."It's only-" I wanted to say but she motioned for me to stop."You and Jayce?" she asked with raised eyebrows. And then the memories came flooding back, like a tidal wave."I don't know." I answered with the last energy."Get the fuck up and answer my question, Nova." She ordered with up impatience in her voice."Calm down first," I said, "there may be something going on between us, but I don't know exactly and how do you know?" I answered quickly."Your handsome boy almost broke our window yesterday just to talk to you." Just to talk to me?" my heart beat faster."What did he say?" I asked Maddy hastily."Let me just sum it up, the guy has a head-to-toe crush on you, believe me." She nodded proudly."He loves you." She added as if I hadn't already figured it out.

Wow.
