As class begins, I find myself glancing over at you occasionally.

When the teacher instructs us to partner up for an activity, I go to sit next to you. "Hey, wanna be partners?" I ask, hoping you'll say yes.

When you flash me a sweet smile and nod eagerly, and I feel myself start to smile back in return.

"Great." I say as I take the seat next to you. Up close remember how soft your features are, and the way your hair falls gently around your face. You're really quite pretty.

I try to play it cool though as I get our materials organized. glancing over at you.

We get to work on the activity, and I find myself enjoying learning little things about you as we converse. Your smile is really nice. Maybe this year won't be so bad after all if I have you to keep me company.
