Heartache

“Oh god, what a surprise, Max!” Sam said first to Max and hugged him, but got away because the teachers were still present, while I and Ryan stood, making the most intoxicating eye contact ever.

His blue eyes are so pure and so true. So deep and so clear-

“Hey,” Ryan said to me, taking me out of my thoughts. “Surprised?” he asked. I looked here and there, Max and Sam were already gone, leaving me alone.

“Y-yeah,” I said finally.

“You look beyond taken aback,” he said. “Are you sad that I’m here?”

“What? No! Not at all! I was so guilty I left the school, but not anymore, I guess”

“That’s so good,” he said. I smiled.

“So, let’s go and find our lockers,” he said and I nodded. We asked the teacher and then went towards the lockers. Our lockers were in opposite directions. He set up the password and his stuff first, while I was still setting the password. He came behind me. I felt so.
