"because ... well because I think you're beautiful" Juan says

excuse me...did I hear right. did juan just call me beautiful

"I'm sorry, but you must have the wrong girl" I say nodding from side to side

"I'm pretty sure it was you" he says

how out of this whole school does he think I'm beautiful?

just this morning I saw a girl walking and she was beyond beautiful she didn't even look human, which me on the other side looks like I just crawled out of a sewer

"I'm sorry but no" I say now looking very mad

I'm not mad at the fact he called me beautiful I'm flattered

the part that scares me is that he might just be doing it because he got dared and is going to make fun of me I front of everyone

"hello....hi...can you hear me?" juan says waving his hands in front of my face

"I'm sorry but I can't talk to you" I say turning away

"why" juan says looking flustered

"because.... I just can't, now please leave me alone. thank you" I say yet again turning away

just then the teacher stands from his seat

"alright boys and girls, I hope you guys got to learn something about each other" he says clapping his hands together at the end

the rest of the class period consisted of the teacher talking about his life and what not. throughout the rest of the class juan never spoke to me.

I didn't mind, in fact I was happy he'd given up. but something about him was addicting I wanted him to talk to me but no.

he can just be making fun of me.

after about 20 minutes of thinking to myself the bell rings for 3rd period and as I'm about

to get up and gather my stuff I see a note on the side of my desk

"I'm not giving up" it read and at the end it said "love Juan"

I find myself smiling silly, oh god what's happening oh no am I falling for this guy

no no I'm not in fact I hate this guy I think he's annoying

"hi my names Stacy and I know you're new here so I want to be you're friend I'm nice and I really want a new friend will you be my new friend? if you don't want to it's fine but I would love if you say with me for lunch yes? or yes?" the girl finished trying to catch her breath

"uhm I don't really need friends.." I said

the girl looked down after I told her I didn't need friends

"can I have you're number at least please?" she says looking really desperate

trying to be nice I gave it to her

"yeah, it's 425)765-2570" i say.

I watch as she types it in and gets happy

"okay thank you!" she says then walking off

as I start to walk away my phone buzzes

"I'm not giving up" it says
