Walking through the hallway to get to our lockers, I tried to see what else he knew about her and it turns out to be A LOT!

“So, what is she interested in?”

“She really likes plants and she is even the President of the Gardening Club. I see her quite often in library and I believe she likes books, too.”

“Ok, so far you two have 1.5 common grounds.”

“Why 1.5?”

“Because you two are into books and you are a little bittle into plants.”

“Ok … but … but I can get interested in them more! Right?” When he said that, broke out into a huge smile; I’m talking ear-to-ear.

“Look, buddy,” I said, putting my hands on his shoulder, “you shouldn’t change yourself just for someone else, even if you love that someone. Just be yourself, Ok?”

“I guess you’re right”

“Yeah, but you know what should you say instead of that?” I winked and he got the point.

“You right!” we both said, pointing at each other.

By then we were near our lockers and we started getting our books. Steely headed for Science class, and I wanted to start moving too but a familiar voice called my name.

“Flame!”

I turned around and it was no one other than Sunshine.

“What is it?” I asked.

“It’s about Steely Armor.”

“What about him?”

“Look, I know that he’s a little shy and mysterious, also unpredictable. So I thought I’d better tell you first.”

“Tell me what exactly?”

“That someone is into him!”

I was shocked. “And who exactly are you talking about?”

“Wallflower Blush.”

“Well, things just got interesting.”

“What do you mean?”

“News flash: Steely already lost his heart to her.”

“You have got to be kidding me!”

“I’m serious! And now I guess we need to work on another project.”

“What kind of project?”

“A shipping project!”

I winked. And just when she smiled, I knew that she was in.
