There is this boy named Orlando, this year i have had a crush on him ever since my first semester in drawing one. After I finished that art class, I wanted to finally talk to him. He has lunch the same time as me, 4th period.

I finally gained the courage to abandon my lunch table to sit at his. I had to ask his asian friend if I could seat at their table,he seemed reluctant to allow me to eat at the table but I didn't let that get in my way. As soon as Orlando sat down at the lunch table my whole body began to shake!
I didn't eat, i just drew pictures and asked him one question. I asked him what he was going to do with his life, I know not the best question to ask. He responded by saying, I plan on living in a cardboard box, i responded by saying I rely on my parents and I don't know what I'm going to do.

After that I told him how obnoxiously loud my friends at my former lunch table were. So he didn't say anything and began to draw a cute squirel. After like he finished drawing three pictures, he leaned over to me and handed me a paper with a tiny picture of a boy and on it said do u have a cell. I said yes and he then looked me in the eye and asked, can I have your number?

I told him I didn't remember my number and that I'd give him the number on Tuesday. He didn't seem so happy to hear that he just began to draw again. After that for the remainder of the time we just looked away from eachother cause we were sitting across from eachother. Orlando did not glance at me and I did not glance at him.
