I try to stop my pounding heart. After all, it was in the middle of class. There was no way my heart should be racing this much. However, I could understand why it was refusing to listen to me. The teacher had just announced that there was going to be a group project, and that he would be the one to decide the groups. He handed out a paper to every student, detailing who was in each group. There, in the second group was my name…but also, the name of the girl I love.
I took a silent deep breath, trying not to draw suspicion to myself. The teacher cleared his throat. “Alright, now, I want you guys to split up into your assigned groups. Spend the rest of the class period figuring out what subject you want your group project to be about.”
My heart went into maximum overdrive, pounding faster than I could keep count. I slowly stood up and walked up to her and another guy, who was also in the group. “H-hello.”
They both looked at me and smiled. “Hi! You must be Kurt. Sit down over here.”
She pointed to the seat next to her. I slowly nodded my head and walked to the seat. As I sat down, I tried to calmly listen to Hunter, the other guy, speak about his idea for the group project. I smiled and listened. I was in the same group as the girl I loved. To me, there was no other bliss than this. Hopefully, this will lead to something more between us, but, baby steps I suppose.
