Notice Me

Snippet!

Just a cute little snippet for Valentines Day! 💗

---

I barely even noticed the Valentine's decorations as I walked into the classroom. All I noticed was him. He just sat there, blond hair flopped messily around his face, brown eyes trained on a book, and yet he had my full attention. If only he knew. But no, of course he didn’t know, he didn’t even know who I was.

I had convinced myself I was okay with that. That I was okay with my little crush just staying a secret, never spoken. Yet that didn’t last.

Now, I wanted him to know who I was, wanted him to notice me, to see me.

“Em!” Finally I turned my head the other direction, taking a seat by my friends. “Girl, ya going to do it?”

Okay, so what I meant by never spoken was that I had never spoken the words, my friends on the other hand harassed me daily with them. “Are you kidding? Absolutely not!”

Kate shook her head, “Guys, we’re talking about Emerson Peters here, of course she’s not.”

I glared at her, “Why don’t you ask Patrick then?”

She shrugged, “I can’t. He already asked me.”

~+~

Her name echoed throughout the room. I quickly glanced behind me as she took her seat. Her brunette hair was pulled up into a clip and her blue eyes narrowed at her friend who merely smirked.

I turned back to my book. There was no way she didn’t have a valentine. Heck, I bet she had been bombarded with letters as soon as she woke up. I glanced down at my backpack, the corner of the red box sticking out. How could I of ever though I had a chance? How could I have thought she’d notice me?

“Yo Aaron! Who this for?” Patrick suddenly snatched the box.

“Patrick!” I reached for the container but it was too late, all eyes were on us–including the striking blue crystals of Ems. I grabbed it back and glared at him. “No one.”

He smirked, took his seat , and in a lower voice replied, “Oh, well in that case, might I propose Em?”

I glared even harder.
