Author's Note ~

An update only FIVE DAYS after the one before? Since when does that happen?! Let's just say that I've had a little more inspiration and motivation recently. :)

Walking down the hall alone with my head down as usual. Great. As I scurry down the hallway I suddenly bump into someone, and stuff goes flying. I look up and see that it's Roland that I bumped into. Well, shoot. There's no way to avoid conversation now. I bend down to start picking up my stuff.

"I'm so sorry, Gwen!" Roland exclaims.

"Oh, it's fine," I mumble.

"Let me help you," he says as he bends down to start helping me get my stuff.

"You really don't have to."

He stands back up with my stuff and replies, "Well I already did." He has a stupidly cute grin on his face, too. Cute? What? No. Arlo is the one with the cute grin.

I stand back up. "Thank you," I quickly say as I take my stuff from him.

I start to walk away and hear Roland's voice.

"Hey, Gwen, wait up!"

I start to slow down until he catches up with me.

"What class do you have next?" he asks me.

"History," I reply.

"Let me walk you there."

"Okay," I say hesitantly.

The whole walk there is super awkward and silent. What am I supposed to do? Arlo and I aren't really a thing, but I still wonder what he would think of this. It bothers me for the rest of the day.
