I sit in class with my book open ready to follow along with the teacher, soon everyone else has their books out and the teacher speaks up "turn to page 77 where we left off." he says "I'll be picking people to read, Sam you can go first" I feel my heart drop to my stomach when he says that. Though I'm not that shy of a person I just very dislike speaking infront of the class, I begin to feel overwhlemed and anxious when the class fills with silence awaiting for my voice to speak up and begin to read. My leg starts to bounce as I look at the first word "Sam? are you gonna read?" he asks and I nod letting out a small gasp as a hand was placed onto my thigh, the hand is warm and soft with a slight roughness to it, but the rings coating the fingers give it a cool sensation on my thigh. I look to see the quiet boy, Colby and he gives me a smile and begins to rub my thigh delicately, from top to bottom. I start to read once I calm down, my leg no longer bouncing but his hand stays put gently rubbing it.

For the rest of the day I had butterflies in my stomach, the boy leaving me with my thoughts full of him.

- few weeks later

I walk into English class and smile meeting eyes with Colby and I make my way over to him and sitting in my seat "alright everyone, please take out your books and turn to the page we had left off on." the teacher announces before the bell rings and I grab my bag once again and unzip it and shuffling through all the contents that lay inside. I sigh zipping up my bag and placing it back on the floor, against the leg of the table and turn to Colby "uh, is it okay if we share books? I accidentally forgot mine at home" I ask. He glances at me and hums gently "sure" his voice rumbles, giving me a small smile, sliding the book so it sits between us. The class takes a minute to settle down and once they do the teacher begins to speak "alright, we should be finishing the rest today, so, I will let you guys choose how we read it," he says "you can read with a partner, alone, or we can read as a class, of course starting at the back and working up to the front." he continues and mixed answers get shouted by a few students "mh' I heard together first, so, we will do that." I frown resting my chin against my palm "we'll start at Tyler all the way to Sam, then down to Alexis and so on, got it?" He states, "and while Tyler is reading, I will be handing out a worksheet we will fill out as we go. now, when your ready, you may begin."

Colby finishes reading and the teacher begins to explain what he had just read to further our understanding, I lean forward to look at what I need to read and whine seeing it's longer than what the everyone had read so far "you'll be okay," Colby says gently grabbing onto the bottom on my chair and pulling me closer, moving the book so it's more infront of me and holds it open "right here," he says pointing at the beginning of a paragraph "once you get to the bottom, your done" I nod slowly holding the book open myself so he moves his hand and grabs his pencil to fill out the questions on his paper "alright, Sam, your turn." The teacher says so I let out a small breath before beginning to read.

My voice begins to shake the longer I read, messing up many of the words getting more nervous the longer I go on, my leg beginning to bounce faster. Colby places his hand on my thigh, gently squeezing it before rubbing it soothingly. I take a small breath nearing the end of the page and Colby grabs my hand that lays in my lap and interlocks our fingers gently caressing the back of it making me smile, butterflies swarming my stomach.

"You did great" Colby smiles squeezing my hand as the next person begins to read "thanks" I whisper he hums, sliding the book so it's infront of him and moves his worksheet infront of me "here, you don't have these ones down" he says pointing at the three questions "oh, thank you" I say gently pulling my hand away from his grasp and grabbing my paper and pencil he hums gently pulling my chair closer and wrapping his arm around me causing me to blush "you messed me up" I pout as I erase the the scribbled letter he caused me to make when he pulled me, he chuckles softly "sorry, love" he mumbles pressing a kiss to my temple making my face flush a bright pink, I ignore the small gesture and nickname continuing to copy down his answers the both of us not uttering another word to one another leaving me in my thoughts wondering what just happened.

Class ends and I gather my things standing up and making my way to the door only to stop when my hand gets grabbed and I look up and smile slightly as my eyes meet Colbys and we leave the classroom hand in hand. He gently tugs at my hand wanting to turn "can I talk to you?" he asks quietly only for me to hear and I look at him with furrowed brows "oh, sure?" I question confused and he hums pulling me along as we go to an empty hallway. We come to a stop and he turns to face me waiting as a girl walks passed to get to her classroom before looking at me then to the floor, nervous "what?" I ask gently and he lets out a small breath "I um.. I like you, and uh wanted to know if you would like to be my.. boyfriend?" he asks his voice quiet, meeting my eyes and I smile seeing the blush that rises to his cheeks, getting embarrassed "aw, I like you too Colby, I'd be happy to be your boyfriend" I say blush coating my cheeks as well. A happy, excited smile takes over his nervous expression making me smile as well and he hesitantly reaches up and grabs my hips gently, slightly pulling me "want a hug?" I ask, he nods pulling me a bit closer so I wrap my arms around his neck accepting the hug, being on my tiptoes and he pulls my body close to his by my waist, tucking his head into my neck making me smile, butterflies filling my stomach once again. 

I gently scratch the back of his head gently "okay.. we should get to class now" I tell him. He hums gently and slowly releases me, I return to my flat feet and look up at him with my chin on his chest as he still has his arms around me just not as tight "I'll see you tomorrow in English then?" he asks, I hum dropping my arms from around his neck "yeah, of course" he smiles letting me go fully "goodbye cutie, have a good day, okay?" I nod "you too" I whisper shyly and he smiles leaning down and placing a gentle kiss to the top of my head. I give him a small wave as he begins to walk away him returning it before he fully turns around, walking away and so, I make my way to my class a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

I walk to my lunch table my friends already there, talking "hey guys, what are we talking about?" I ask as I take off my bag, setting it on the ground "oh, just our crushes and such" I hum shaking my head softly "mh' I see" I say resting my cheek against my palm as I listen to their conversation "y'know, I'm surprised Sam still hasn't gotten a boyfriend" Tara states soon after. "Who said that?" I ask "wait- huh?? you have a boyfriend?" Jake asks confused "for 5 months, I just didnt bother telling anybody" I shrug nonchalantly "who is he?" they all ask in sync, in shock. "Colby." I state and they roll their eyes snickering a bit "please, you are not the boyfriend of the quiet guy. he never talks to anyone except for his friends." Devyn says "besides none of us has seen you talk to him let alone be near him." Xepher states. I get up "I'll show you then." I start walking over to Colbys table, my friends eyes on me watching my every move.

I approach the table seeing Colby has his head laying on the table while his friends talk. Once I get over I tap his shoulder "why are you touching me?" he grumbles husk, not glancing up once "what? I can't touch you now? fine. I'll leave you alone" I turn around as I go to walk away but he grabs my wrist and turns me back around and pulling me into his lap to straddle him all in one swift movement "I'm sorry princess, didn't know it was you." he says tiredly, nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck. I hum wrapping my arms around his neck "that's okay" I hum gently, smiling as he tightens his grip around my waist "I thought you were leaving?" he asks lifting his head up to look at me, a confused expression on his face "I said after lunch, silly" I say gently cupping his jaw, he hums smiling as he looks at my lips "don't forget to text me when you get there," he says gently pecking my lips I smile caressing his cheeks "I want to know if you make it there safely" I hum "of course" I smile.

"Why'd you come over here?" he asks as he gently rubs my back I shrug "no reason" he chuckles "mh' that's why you came here with such sas?" I pout "I was not sassy" I huff crossing my arms he raises his brows "then what do you call that, hm?" he asks gently running his hands down to my thighs, rubbing them I giggle leaning forward and gently kissing the top of his nose making him smile "you never come over babes, what's up?" I smile my heart warming at his little actions "well, me and my friends were talking and me not having a boyfriend came up and I said I did and told them I was dating you and they didn't believe me so I came to prove it" I explain, he hums "you could've just shown them our texts?" I pout "you don't want to see me?" I joke and he smiles leaning in and pecking my lips a few times to rid of my pout "course I do my baby, I was just saying" I nod wrapping my arms around his torso, resting my head on his chest "however, I would rather of you shown them the texts, I don't like being stared at" he grumbles, I look back seeing my friends whispering and staring, smiles on their faces I giggle "sorry." I say looking back at him and he hums nuzzling his head into my neck once again "can I stay here? after I grab my things?" I ask, Colby humming letting me go "always." I smile before getting up and walking back to my table.

"I told you guys." I say grabbing my bag "damn, congratulations I guess" Jake chuckles "yeah, we're happy for you Sammy, we just didn't see it coming" I nod smiling at them, grabbing my phone off the table "but, you could've just asked him to do all that?" Jake says not fully convinced still I giggle shaking my head "I'm literally going back over to him," I say "god you guys are so annoying" I giggle going to my camera roll and scrolling to our first picture together "there, this was back when we first started dating" I say showing them the picture and the date it was taken "also, my lock screen is literally him" I say showing them my lock screen it being a picture I had taken of him sleeping on my chest and they coo "alright, I believe it" Jake grumbles crossing his arms I laugh softly, shaking my head, walking back over to Colby who watches me walk over with a smile on his face.

He pulls me back on his lap once I put my bag on the floor "what did they say?" he asks looking into my eyes "they're happy," he smiles "didn't want to believe it until I showed them a few pictures, but they're happy" he hums pressing a kiss to my forehead "did you eat?" I shake my head making him frown "I'll get some food once I leave, I promise" I tell him "promise?" I nod "promise" he puckers his lips so I give him a quick peck as if to seal the promise "also, where was it you were going, again?" he asks looking down at my phone as I turn it on our heads against each other's "an appointment" "no shit, for what?" I giggle "my eyes, I'm going to the eye doctor" he hums "ah that's right, new contacts or something, yeah?" I hum opening up snapchat and laughing when he makes a silly face at the camera as it shows us and I mimick his face taking a picture and he chuckles gently squeezing my hips "your silly my love" I smile looking up at him, him also looking up, our eyes meeting. "your so beautiful" he whispers looking at my lips, I smile leaning in but he doesn't let me kiss him, our foreheads leaning against one another's "I mean it," he mumbles "you make me so happy" I smile as he noses against my nose "your so sweet" I smile gently closing my eyes leaning into him "I love you my princess" I grin, butterflies erupting in my stomach meeting his loving eyes "I love you" I whisper closing my eyes as we close the gap between us, sharing a passionate kiss.

We separate smiling at each other, our faces inches apart. He pulls me into a hug, nuzzling his head into my neck and I smile relaxing into his touch "god, you guys make me feel lonely" one of his friends grumble I giggle quietly nuzzling my head further into his neck "yeah, I agree, stop acting like that, pda much?" Colby groans lifting his head resting his chin against my head "can you guys shut the fuck up?" he grumbles holding me tighter "but it's true!" they exclaim "you all are annoying" he huffs continuing to argue with them playfully. I pull away from him turning my phone on as it goes off and smile saving the video as I had recorded what had just happened, catching us saying I love you for the first time on video. I go to the text I got from my mom seeing she had just called the school that she's here to pick me up, going to be here any minute now.

I look up at Colby and gently kiss his cheek "I gotta get going soon" I tell him disregarding their little argument still going on and he meets my eyes with a frown "already?" I hum "my mom should be here any minute" he hums gently massaging my hips "I'll walk you to the doors?" I smile nodding my head "sure" he hums gently patting my thigh telling me to get up. He grabs my hand, interlocking our fingers and we leave the cafeteria after telling his friends where he is going.
We get to the office and we walk in "hello" the lady smiles sweetly "hi, my mom called, I'm going to an eye appointment" I tell her and she hums "yes, Sam?" she asks and I nod "alright, she actually just got here a second ago, you may go, you'll be excused from the rest of your classes" she explains I nod "okay, thank you."
Colby brings me to the doors and I hug him "I'll see you later baby, don't forget to text me, okay?" I nod looking up at him with a smile "have a good rest of you day, okay? don't get any blinder than you already are" I giggle gently hitting his chest "shut up" he chuckles cupping my cheeks and gently pecking my lips "I'll call you once I'm home, alright?" I nod leaning up and kissing him once more "bye."

- later that night

My phone rings as it sits on my bedside table on it's charger I grumble turning on my side and reaching for it. A smile finds its way to my lips seeing an incoming facetime call from Colby and I pull my phone off it's charger and answer it "hi babe" I mumble softly as I was half asleep "babyyy you never texted me" he complains in a whiney tone and I giggle seeing the pout on his lips "I'm sorry Colbs," I say as I sit up, reaching over and turning on my lamp "we got there late so I had no time to text you that I got there before it got cancelled, then after when I was gonna text you my phone was dead, I'm sorry" I explain rubbing my eyes he hums "it's okay my love, I just got worried" I hum "did I wake you?" I shake my head "I was almost asleep" he hums "good, then we can keep talking longer" he grins I hum laying on my side pulling my blanket up, tucking it under my chin. Colby admires me on the other side of the phone and I smile tiredly "your so exhausted my princess" he whispers I hum "why" he grumbles I giggle "your so silly" I tell him making him smile "isn't it like 1am?" I ask and he hums "that's why, you know late night car rides make me sleepy" I mumble my voice getting more raspy the more I speak he hums "I know," he whispers "turn off your light, okay princess? you can sleep, I was just checking in, wanted to make sure you were at least home now and safe" I smile leaning over and turning off my light "stay on call?" I ask as I plug my phone back in "mhm, of course my sweet princess" I smile setting up my phone so it's facing me. I giggle as the bright white light of my phone flashes in my face as he takes a picture of me "stop it" I whisper "your so pretty though Sammybaby" I smile, keeping my eyes closed and he takes another picture "alright, I'll stop. but before you sleep, can I take you out on a date tomorrow night?" I smile opening my eyes to look at him seeing a big smile on his face "of course Colbs, I'd love to" he grins "goodnight, my sweet little babyboy" he whispers puckering his lips and kissing the camera I smile "goodnight, I love you." I whisper slowly drifting off to sleep with a smile on my face.
