180 days with my crush

"Wait" I exclaimed, breathless from my hasty ascent up the stairs. He halted but kept his back to me 


"You want to drive me to school? Why?" The word tumbled out, sounding foolish even to my ears. But I had to ask anyway. Agreeing to a public display of affection was one thing, but his presence at my school would be suffocating. 


 I've thought about a thousand ways to confront them when I get to school. It was so obvious that since my classmates had seen that picture, over five thousand students of the university would have seen that too. This realization has given me sleepless nights for the past few days. He would be going with me to confirm the report. I've always wanted to be acknowledged by people as his partner but with different eyes on me. Can I even walk by his side without missing my steps and falling face down? 


"You don't want me with you?" He asked, with his back still turned. I wish he could let me see his face while we discussed this.
