“Well forget I said that” you muttered, clearing your throat as you looked anywhere but at him. “We should finish this up quickly anyway, the bell would ring soon” you said, picking up the flask to shake the liquid which was blue, the same shade of his eye colour.

“Um, I don't–I don't know why you would say that but surely I don't hate you, I mean why would I, when you're so–” He stopped himself right there as if realising he was going to say something he shouldn't and gave a nervous, awkward laugh.

“Well anyways, you're right we should get finished with this, we have other classes to attend.” He continued rubbing the back of his neck, the tips of his ears red.

But you were not going to let him go that easily. You were what? What was he gonna say, if you didn't get to know it right now you would keep thinking about it later on and you didn't wanna think about him you already did enough.

“You were saying something right?” You said setting down the flask. “I am what, go on.” you said, raising your eyebrows, hands crossed over your chest, completely ready to hear something negative.

“Ah, haha…I meant that” he said, rubbing the back of his head, laughing a little too loud as if forcing himself to, looking nervously around the chemistry lab, trying to avoid your gaze as he fixed his glasses.

“I meant that you're really amazing, you know.” He finally said gulping, like the words were too hard to be spoken out loud and your jaw hit the floor as you looked at him gaping.

You were certainly not expecting this. So, this guy who kept snatching everything you wanted, always by the narrowest, infuriating difference while passing a smile at you, standing right just next to you as if he didn't do the few to just piss you off and see you fume and mop over it.

The golden boy, the one who never failed at anything he tried, thought you were amazing ?

Not even in your wildest dreams you could have thought that.

And what the fuck, why was he blushing at that.

You finally picked your jaw from the floor to speak, “So, um, hey I don't– well thank you. But I wanted to know-”

And that was exactly when the bell rang.

And boy were you after him with a knife or what, he immediately ran off before you could continue further as soon as the bell hit bidding you a quick goodbye.

Damn, he was better than you for nothing if he took classes so seriously, ugh you would have to pull your socks up for this semester exams again.
