"Jake?" you whispered, looking down at the ground with both nerves and curiosity to ask the boy the question that has been on your mind for a while now.

"What's up?"

"I was just wondering..." you trailed off, taking i a. deep breathe before continuing, "D-do you like anyone?"

"Yeah, you."

Your eyes grew wide and snapped to met his, a gentle smile etched onto his lips at your reaction.

"Haha, very funny, Jake." you rolled your eyes, believing that he was just teasing, as he knew you had a crush on him a while ago - he wasn't aware however that your crush had still not gone away.

"No y/n, I'm serious." he stated, using his thumb and forefinger to life you chin up. "I've liked you ever since I caught you staring at me during math class."

The memory brought a slight blush to your cheek. "Really?"

He nodded before leaning down so his lips could finally met yours.
