Her heart ran for miles through her body, turning every inch of her skin red. Her gaze would drift around the still-quiet room. She looked down at his shoes, her fingers fiddled nervously. Every so often she looked up, peeking at his bright blue eyes and every so often he would look into her glistening grey eyes with a slight look of longing. The empty space filled and closed down on them, a near suffocating air grew with the tension, with each strong, clear beat of their hearts.

"N-Nell..." he stuttered a breath, as the silence and tension broke. He was shaking, though it was barely noticeable. He took a deep breath as a new wave of confidence washed over him.

"What is it Drew?" hesitantly, the girl replied. The broken silence cleared her mind, her flushed skin growing paler to a pleasant pink. She pulled a strand of rosy blonde hair behind her ear, as she slowly brought herself to look at Drew straight into his eyes, tilting her head with innocent curiosity. "Why did you call me into this empty classroom?"

Drew looked back at her. They stood staring at each other for a moment. Then, as another moment passed Drew's confidence grew. He took another breath, murmuring a few words under his breath. Nell perked at his movements and took a step closer.

"What do you have to tell me Drew?" she inquired all too sweetly, catching the boy off guard.

A small blush flushed his face as he turned away, taking a step back. Lost for words in the next moment but the air of confidence only grew. He puffed his chest and flipped his sight back to Nell, smiling at him patiently.

"Nell," he said as his confidence overflowed. He paused for a second, with the same look of longing from earlier took over his expression. "I love you."
