Short Story: [iThink iLove You...]

Short Story: I Think I Love You...
--

She's sitting there, she's not that far away from him. And he glances at her every once in a while but she's too busy, she's too lost in thought. She's always lost in thought, lost in her own little world. But something about her enticed him, led him towards her...

"Miss Wilderson, please pay more attention," the teacher, who was probably underpaid or not being paid enought for what he had to deal with everyday, sighed.

Her head snapped up and she dropped her pencil on the desk. She was drawing something. She always was. He looked at her. Her face was a bright red, flushed in embarrasment. She looked at the board as the teacher once again began to go more indepth about the joys of nature and something else about Biology that went into the boy's right ear and out the left.

Daniella always sat by the window. And the boy a few seats behind her. He never really saw her face though, only the back of her head. Or maybe more like her hair. Her long golden hair that fell down in unruly curls that looked nice on her. He was staring at her, he kenw he was. All his friends knew about this little crush and soon the professor shouting his name brought him back to Earth.

Before Thomas knew it, Daniella pulled a chair up next to him and opened up her science textbook. He was confused. What had the old fart been talking about again?

"Um... so what do you want to do the project on?" Daniella said in her normal soft voice.
"What project?" Thomas looked around in confusion.
"The science project... you know... the term project...?" she asked in confusion as he remembered it as something or another.
"Oh... um..." Thomas stammered. It seemed as if he lost his thinking ability whenever he was around her.
"It's okay, we can just brainstorm soe ideas, jot it down on seperate papers, mark it off as what we want to do and give it back to each other and then decide," Daniella suggested as Thomas shrugged and they got to work.

Daniella sat down at her desk ready to do her homework. She pulled out her Biology homework and remembered the project. Pulling out the lined paper she marked off the ones she hated in red and flipped over to the back.

"I Think I Love You..."

The paper flew onto the floor as she released it and her phone started to ring. She picked it up and held it to her ear. In her normal soft voice she greeted the person.

"Hey, did you get the Biology project thing?" Thomas asked nervously.
"Yea..." Daniella said nervously.
"Can you tell me what I wrote for the last five words?" he asked.

After a moment of silence, Daniella gathered up her courage and took a deep breath. A blush on her face that no one was around to witness, and her wits gathered.

"I think I love you," she said finally as he smiled to himself.
"Me too..." he said before the two hung up.

It each left the other wondering. What did this mean now...?
