The Story of Two

Jaslie's P.O.V “Today was just a normal day. Or was it?” I had thought to myself. It all started last year in 10th grade when I met this boy named Blake. He changed my life forever. He was just as shy as I was But, we never talked to each other until one day. It was the day that we were assigned partners to work on an art project together. It was just the two of us and we had to make a sculpture out of clay. It was really fun, but also really messy at the same time. We had started at the base for the legs. It was all going perfectly as planned. Building at just the right speed with enough clay for each detail. Until… He decides to start a conversation with me. "So, uhmm since we barely know each other... I figure we could start by introducing ourselves. My name is Blake. Blake Johnson." I say, "Mine is Jaslie Wilson" as I start to sculpt the right leg. He said, "That's a really pretty name." I asked myself, "Why is the shy, bad boy being nice to me? Shouldn't he be in a group somewhere doing illegal things?" After we properly introduced ourselves, we finished the legs and started to work on the body. Then the arms, and the head. After we had finished the sculpture, I asked Blake, "Do you want to watch a movie to pass time until you have to go home?" He said, "No, I have to leave now because my mom told me I have to watch my younger siblings." I was fine with that. "What are their names?" I asked. "Ariya and Wesley" he said as he grabbed his bag from beside the door. "Cute! I'll see you tomorrow at school I guess." I told him. He paused then stuttered, "uhh y-yeah sure." After Blake left, I smiled so big that I swear it made my cheeks hurt. I wonder if he felt the same as me since I liked him so much. I wanted to say that I liked him, but I was too scared. So, I started to text my bff Kaliah. She answered right away saying, “Hey girl long time no talk. How are you? What's up? Where are you?” I tell her, “Slow down haha. I'm great actually. I met this cute boy and he's really nice. Well, we were actually forced to do an art project together." "Oh?! Sooo did you kiss?" she asked jokingly. I replied “No, I'm too shy and most likely NOT his type Kaliah." She texted back asking, "Hey can I come over?" Obviously I told her “Yeah most definitely! I can't wait to see you!”
