Him

he adjusted his clothes

feeling nervous

for the first time

in his life

he had asked for her to go to the library after class

standing behind the bookshelves

he waited for her arrival

checking himself again

adjusting his hair

one of the juniors passed by

hello Jake

what are you doing there with that?

the junior asked while pointing at the thing in his hand

nothing

hey, remember tomorrow's gathering.

you know, for the guitar practice?

he tried to change the subject

okay, at 3pm, rite?

I'm gonna go practice!

the junior said and left

whew, that was a close call

he mumbled to himself

he stood behind the bookshelves

waiting for his special guest to walk through the entrance

soon

she walked in

a small part of her hair tied up into a cute ponytail

light makeup

big eyes that were searching her surrounding

light purple t-shirt

white shorts

her light green bag that she'll never give up even if you gave her an LV or Gucci

the white sneakers
she wasn't like other girls 

she had her own style

and he loved how cute and innocent she always looks

as she didn't saw anyone familiar

she went towards a table and sat down

taking out her phone

she started pressing numbers

his phone vibrated

making him jump

taking a breath

he pressed the button and stopped the call

taking all his courage

he sneaked behind the girl

hey Cassie

he tapped her shoulder

hi Jake

she waved at him

even thou his face was just inches away from hers

he couldn't help but laugh

you're just too cute

he caressed her cheek with his right hand

his left still behind him

what did you call me here for?

she asked

her eyes looking into his

her smile so bright

for a reason

he said simply

he held her hand and led her to the fiction books section

you remember that first time we met?

he asked her

yes

she said and blushed

it was so embarrassing

you wanted this book that was too high on the topmost of the shelf

he continued

and I tried jumping to get it

then I fell down and got a bruise

and you came to help me

borrowing the book for me and treating my bruise

she said smiling

yeah

he said and took out the book that was in his left hand all this time

it had flowers all over it

secret garden

the book that led me to meeting you

ever since that first meeting

I've fallen for you

your beauty

your cute charm

so

all I want to ask of you

is

would you go out with me?

he asked finally

he held his breath

waiting for an answer

she was startled

her mind was blank

but she already knew her answer

she smiled at him shyly

nodding
