What was I doing? I should be in the canteen, eating lunch with Blue and the the girls but here I was outside my science classroom. Why am I here? This was stupid. I should go.
"Fern? What are you doing?" Greyson has seen me now. Can I still walk away? No, I can do this.
"I just-" I was ready to say it quickly but then I saw his face and what is this feeling? Why is my chest tightening up and my heart is going everwhere? Breathe, just breathe. "I just want to say thanks for standing up for me."
"Friends stick up for one another all the time, don't they?"
I inhaled almost immediatley. We were friends. Not aquaintances but friends. "Yeah, we're friends," I said smiling. Something weird was going on in my stomach as he smiled back.
"Gotta serve my sentence for listening to someone I actually like," he laughed and walked in. I was stuck in my spot. Why couldn't I move? Why couldn't I stop smiling when he said he liked me? What was happening to me?
