August 05th, 2016: I'll do if you do
[B is just for the person mentioned below. As I woke up the person's face was all blurry and I couldn't recognize him.]
_____________________________________________________
It was the time of the year where our school would built up a big event for its pupils organized by its pupils. This year it was our class turn to organize the event.
Our tables formed a U and I was sitting with my friends at the outer part of the U. Opposite to B. I was expecting him to participate in this, since he would usually do so. And honestly he would always do it good.
There was always a special tension between me and him. We would always argue or get into fights when we were in the same room. That's the reason why the teacher wanted us to sit this way. It's the most possible distance in this room.
by the time our teacher gave up to motivate his pupils. I wanted to do it but was a little self conscious to do it alone. my friends refused since it would be to much responsibility for them to take. I was a little mad at them but could understand it, at the same time I was mad at B, too. Why didn't he want to do it?
In the five-minute break I got up and went over to B.
"Why don't you want to participate?" I asked him and looked down at him. He smiled and stood up. He was two heads taller than me and it made things embarrassing for me.
" I'll do if you do" he answered and eyes sparkled. For a second I was taken back and didn't know how to respond but then I turned to the teacher and told him, we'd do it.
"Great, you'll get extra points for that."
"See you in the library, partner" he said, smirking into my face.
What did I just do? I'm crazy for sure and I should visit a doctor. Why would I do such a thing. But it's not going to help to complain. It was my fault anyway.
As soon as class ended I went to the library, knowing B was following me. I went to a quiet place in the library. It's very comfy with a lot of pillows to sit down on. I sat down on one and waited for him to do as well.
"Look I don't know where it's coming from, but we seem to hate each other or at least can't stand being in the same room, our friends are going crazy because of that. Let's say we're even and at least try to behave ourselves. Right?" he sighed and sat down.
"I agree" I say " But I don't hate you though" I added in a even more quiet voice. His gaze met mine. And there was this sparkle again.
"Anyway, I was thinking we might keep it simple with different stations to work on?" I said to break the silence before it could get more awkward.
"It's a nice way to keep everyone playing so I agree. But what if we'd let some movies play as well, since older pupils aren't always up to do these station games?" he said and I was at ease that he played along. Like this we discussed the organization of the event. We would have our class as supervisors in the playstations and we'd also have a few films playing in different class rooms. As a second plan we'd have the cafeteria, because it's supposed to rain that day, but only at the end.
It all worked out without breaking into a huge fight. We even laughed and smiled at each other. I was surprised not only bz the actual calmness between us, but by my raising heart beat.
A few days later at the event:
I was watching and following the the happy kids playing on the playground at the different stations. Everyone was happy and having fun. I smiled as I saw B who was talking to little boy. I couldn't help but think it's cute.
Suddenly it started raining, I opened the doors to the cafeteria and let everyone inside. We made sure to have coffee, tea and cake. As everyone was inside I went in as well. I looked around and couldn't find B. I asked a teacher and he pointed outside of a window.
B was picking up the items and locking the stations. He was crazy who would take care of such a thing with that crazy weather outside. I opened the door and called for him. He heard me and ran inside, smiling wide.
He was totally wet by the rain. I pushed a hand through his dark black hair and pulled at some strands. He laughed and shook his head so I would get wet by his hair, too. I laughed and ran away as he followed. We ended up in a quiet corner where there was only one chair and one table left.
"You need to sit down. I'll get you a blanket and something warm." I told him and went.
With a blanket and some hot chocolate I returned. B was looking at the happy and glad people with a smile. I him the blanket and the chocolate which he gladly accepted. I sat down on the table and looked away, because I was afraid of looking into his eyes. I knew I'd find that sparkle again. It terrified me somehow.
"You did well, partner" I said and got a smile in return. This smile made my heart skip a beat.
Suddenly he took my hand and pulled me on his lap. "You worked just as hard as I did, so rest a bit" was his explanation to that.
I was totally nervous and he noticed it. " Stop being so stiff, it's just me" he pushed me back into his embrace.
"that's the problem.." I whispered. He sighed and put his mouth next to my ear whispering back.
"I don't hate you either" he said, I turned a little in his lap. " But why don't we get along then? It doesn't make sense.." I replied
"Well, we did get along this time. We didn't even argue one bit. Maybe it was because we weren't alone" he answered and pulled me in for a kiss. My hands went to his hair automatically, like I'd done it many times before, which I didn't. I kissed him back smiling into it.
"We really don't want to interrupt you guys but.. When we're you planing on telling us?!" we heard a voice speaking. It was one of his friends. I got up with a very red face. My friends were there too. All of them just watching us.
"Well you'd know when you'd get the invitation card to our wedding" B said smiling. I hit his shoulder and buried my head in his chest.
Everyone else was so shocked they just started to laugh.
