It was Henry’s first day of middle school; it was first time he was without Ava and on his own, he only had his mother but she was not able to come today. He was nervous and couldn’t find his class and he was wandering around like a lost child not knowing which way to go. He tried to ask people but he was ignored. Just when he was about to give up a voice came from far behind
“Hey where are you going?”
Henry looked behind and he saw there was a tall blonde boy standing, waving at him. That boy came closer and looked at Henry closely. He had bright aura which can absorb anyone into his charms. Henry said “I don’t know” in a low voice.
Boy: Oh well! Don’t worry I’ll take you to a teacher and they will tell us. By the way what’s your name? Mine’s Liam.
Henry: My name is Henry.
Liam couldn’t hear Henry so he leaned forward to hear well.
Liam: What did you say? Gendry?
Henry said loudly and nervously “My name is Henry”
Liam was surprised at Henry’s sudden change of voice, he wanted to talk further but their discussion was cut short by a teacher.
Teacher: What are you boys doing here? You two should be in class.
Liam: I don’t know where my class is.
Teacher: Oh my! You two kids must be new. Sorry the school is havoc today due to graduation being held at the same day. Come here I’ll show you your class.
The teacher started walking away and Liam followed but when he looked behind he saw Henry standing there, lost in his own thoughts.
Liam: come on Henry we have to go!
Liam grabbed Henry’s hand and began walking. Henry staring at Liam’s face, not knowing that in the near future this guy would be his lifelong crush.
As Henry was reminiscing about these past memories he heard a voice, it was Liam calling his name.
Henry woke up from his imagination and saw Liam’s face too close to his face, he was surprised so he fell from the bench but Liam grabbed him on time.
Liam: Oh come on we had sex and now your reaction is like this.
Henry got a little mad as it was a big thing for him.
Henry: Well I’m sorry playboy it was my first time and I don’t know how to react.
Liam laughed loudly and said “okay innocent little chicken how about we eat something together. I'm hungry”
Liam did not wanted to talk about the topic any further so Henry did not pushed either and went on with his usual behavior with Liam.
