I printed doubles of a photo we took at lunch one day. I wasn’t sure if he’d want it, but I was going to give it to him anyway. I clutched it against my folder as I walked from my first class of the day. Cade was generally easy to find, as his class was just down the hall from mine. Scanning for him, I felt my stomach clench in anticipation.

Was I being too forward?

When his dark hair came into view, the knots grew tighter. Stopping at my locker, I switched books and attempted to keep the photo hidden from nosy and prying eyes around me. The people in my class liked to gossip and I wasn’t up to hearing things about me that weren’t true. They took one little bit of information and made a whole novel from it.

“Francesca,” he sang in my ear.

Turning, I locked eyes with him. “Hey, Cade,” I said. My chest felt like it would burst from my heart beating so quickly.

“Whatcha doin?” he grinned.

I shut my locker door. “Getting my books. I have something for you.”

His blue eyes grew wide and the grin grew wider. “Give it to me.”

“I printed you a copy of the picture we took,” I said nervously. Handing it to him, I studied his face for his reaction.

His eyes crinkled at the edges and his whole face seemed to light up. “I’m gonna put it in my locker.”

Stunned, I pulled back from him a little. “What?”

“Let’s go hang it up. You’re class is downstairs where my locker is.” He took my arm and guided me down the hall. His touch was gentle, yet electrifying.

How was it possible he caused so many emotions in such a short span of time?

I watched him as we walked, his face determined and his lips moving from a half smile to a full blown one. We walked through the crowd, him nodding to friends along the way. We made our way to his locker where he tried to stick the picture to the door, then the walls. “It won’t stay.”

“You need magnets or tape,” I chuckled.

“Oh, right.” He ran in his classroom and reappeared with the tape dispenser. “Here we go.” He tore off an extra long piece, then taped the picture to the door, level with his eyes. He looked back at me and grinned. “Perfect.”

I smiled with him and nodded. It did look nice. It thrilled me to see us on his locker door. His arm wrapped around me while we both smiled like two young idiots falling in love.

It’s what we were, whether we realized it or not.
