Learn To Love

Devi's POV :

As I was getting my books in the locker for the first class of the day, I couldn't help but notice everyone looking at me at the corner of my eyes. This made me realize that the whole school know I went to the dance with Paxton. As I was getting this sudden feeling of worry for Paxton, I frantically look around the school hallway, in search for a handsome guy with curly hair that owns a green backpack - nowhere to be seen. Is he not going to school today?

I reach for my phone, getting ready to text him but Aneesa walks up to me. "Hey girl!" I look at Aneesa with a small smile, "Hey Aneesa."

"Sooooo..you and Paxton?" She looks at me excited and I just nodded with my pressed lips, still worrying about him. Aneesa screams excitedly as she grabs my hand, "I'm so happy for you Devi. You guys look so cute during the dance!" As I shut the locker, we both started walking to our history class together. "Thanks Aneesa, I appreciate it. How was the dance for you and Ben?"

"It was fun. He really knows how to dance. I mean, who knew?" We both chuckled together. As I sat on my desk, I couldn't stop looking at the door, waiting for Paxton to just enter. Eleanor and Fabiola entered the class, waving at me. Then came Ben who just gave me a small smile before heading to his own seat.

Right when the bell rang for Mr. Shapiro to begin class, in came Paxton and Trent. It was like he was also looking for me as well because right when our eyes came in contact, he walked over to his seat in front of me confidently, showing me his charming smile, "Hey Devi."

"Hi." I whisper back with a big smile. Once he got his classwork out on the table, he turned around, "I've been looking for you all morning. Where have you been?" Butterflies. Paxton Hall-Yoshida was looking for me.

"I came a little later than usual because I woke up a bit late." I answer as he nods and turns back facing the class before we get in trouble.

As Mr. Shapiro started to speak, I couldn't help but look at Paxton's back profile. He seems fine. Did I worry about school talking about him for no reason? I brush off the thought and began taking notes.

...

Now that class has ended, I was packing my stuff while Paxton turns around and just watches me. "What's wrong?" I look at him but also trying to pack as quickly as possible for the next class. "Nothing, I'm just waiting for you so we can leave together." Suddenly, I blushed and just look down to keep packing because Paxton just always know how to make a girl shy with his dreamy eyes.

We walked out of class together with our hands clasp together, as if he didn't care what the school thought of him dating me. Butterflies again. "Are you going to your science class right now?" I nodded before looking at him confused, "Wait, you know science is my next class?"

He looks away from me and just nods as I gave a big grin. "Did you want me to walk you to class?" I shook my head as I push him to the other path of the hallway so he can just head to his class. "No, no. Go to your next class. You'd be late if you walk me. I'll see you during break." I look over his shoulder and see Trent is standing there, waiting for him.

"Okay, I'll see you during break." He gives me a kiss on the cheek before we separate ways. I stood there, watching him walk away with Trent. Talking and laughing. It seems like everything does look like nothing changed. I turn around and just head to science class. I'm glad nobody is gossiping about him.

Paxton's POV :

Even though I'm walking with Trent to the next class, I can't stop thinking about Devi. It's crazy how we're two different people yet we vibe. I don't even get why I'm so drawn to her, but I am. "Paxton, are you down to play video games after school and start up some more fireworks? I was able to grab another bag man." Trent interrupts my thoughts.
