"You are a natural hero."

The man turned, walking slowly away, and I turned to walk back on the steps of the school.

A loud applause was given when I stepped back on the stairwell.

I looked up and found everyone in my class cheering.

"That was awesome, (Y/n)! "

"You go, girl!"

"You're a hero!"

"You're so cool!"

I smiled at all of the statements and then returned to my spot to finish my lunch, as did everyone else.

Once lunch was over, it was time to return to class.

I was seated next to a red head.

He was sketching the Champs Elysees.

Not gonna lie, it was amazing!

"Um, hey."

I smiled at him after he set his charcoal pencil on his sketchbook.

His piercing blue eyes met mine.

Oh goodness, his eyes are brighter than my future.

"Um...hi."

He seems to be very shy and perhaps... socially awkward?

I smiled and stuck my hand out.

"My name is (Y/n), What's your's?"

I could tell he was nervous as I observed his frequent fidgeting.

"N-Nathaniel, Nathaniel Kurtzberg."

He slightly hesitated to shake my hand.

"It's nice to meet you, Nathaniel. So, you enjoy drawing?"

I pointed at his sketchbook.

"Yeah, I draw often, it's kinda a way for me to escape reality and go to an alternate world where i can be free."

Nathaniel was no longer the shy bean he was a second ago.

I slightly giggled.

"Oh, sorry, i'm just rambling on and didn't realise that you may not be interested."

I waved both my hands in denile.

"No, no! It's just that you suddenly became so passionate when you started talking about your art. It was actually kinda cute."

Nathaniel's cheeks flushed as red as his hair.

"C-cute? Me?"

He started to chuckle and smiled at me.

"I think we could be great friends! I'm into art too; maybe we could work on a piece together sometime?"

Nathaniel nodded and handed me his phone.

"Here, put your phone number in, (Y/n)."

"Sure!"

I handed him my phone and we exchanged contact information.
