I sat on the bus with Tubbo on the way to school. We'd just arrived at Ranboo's stop and he'd just got on. I smiled, as I stared. I hoped he'd come over to me....,but he sat down next to his friend. I frowned and sighed.

Tubbo laughed, "Go sit with him. I like being alone, anyways."

I smiled, "You sure Tubs?"

"Mhmm." He hummed while reading his book.

"Alright, see you at lunch." I said getting up.

"I doubt it, but later." He replied.

I rolled my eyes then walked over to Ranboo. I poked his shoulder with my index finger and he looked at me, "What?- Oh, Tommy!"

He stood up and hugged me. I hugged him back, "Hi."

"What's up?" He asked.

I smiled up at him, "Nothing, I just want to sit with you."

He blushed, "Kay."

I sat down beside him and hugged his torso as he talked, Though I may not always chit chat with him or his friends...I really like sitting down with him.

When we got to school it was pretty repetitive of Friday. Except after homeroom we had Science together right after. Which was where I was now.

I didn't sit next to Ranboo anymore, sadly. Instead we'd been put into different pairs and I sat with some random football player who annoyed the shit out of me. It was just lab partners though, thank god it wasn't for a project.

Class had begun only a short while ago. And I couldn't stop staring and thinking about Ranboo. I was supposed to confess to him on Thursdays, but that whole situation happened...and I didn't see him over the weekend.

So, now I was stuck on when I should confess. I wanted to do it as soon as possible- but I'm extremely nervous.

Ranboo caught me staring and smiled. I blushed and he winked. I looked away and towards the front of the classroom at the teacher, Mr. Jacobs.

I could still feel his state on me though. I looked back over and sure enough he was still staring. He silently chuckled and I blushed brighter. I looked away though I'm sure he was still staring.

I grabbed my stack of sticky notes and a sharpie. I wrote, "Stop staring idiot"

I held up the sticky note and he read it. He blushed and rolled his eyes. I crumpled up the sticky note and tossed it to the side. He didn't stop staring however....which was kinda wierd.

I just ignored him though.

I went back to what I'd been thinking about before.

When should I confess....and how should I do it?

I sighed then tore out a piece of lined paper from my notebook. I picked up my pencil and took a deep breath, A note. I'll write him a note- not a love letter. That's a little too romantic and cheesy for me...

I began writing, "Dear Ranboo-" Nope. I erased it and then rewrote, "Hey Ranboo!" Too energetic. I erased it then continued, "Ranboo, I haven't been very honest with myself or you." That's good. I kept going, "I want to apologize for rejecting you all the times you've asked me out. Though, I wasn't ready to date you and focus on a relationship. I also hadn't come to terms with how I felt and I was still figuring out the whole Tubbo situation. But, now that that's sorted, I'd like to confess everything. So first off, I like you. I really like you. I more than like you. And I want a relationship. I want to be boyfriends and I want labels and strings attached.-"

"You taking notes?" My lab partner asked.

"Huh?- oh, uhm- no." I replied and pulled the paper closer to me.

He turned away uninterested.

I sighed relieved then looked over to Ranboo. He was staring at me. I blushed and he smiled. Then he raised both his eyebrows up once and gestured to my paper. I blushed even brighter and covered my paper with my arms. He raised one eyebrow seeming suspicios.

I looked away and tried ignoring the fact he was still staring at me. I took a calming breath and then began writing again, "I want-"

"Is that a....love letter?- Holy shit it is!" My lab partner cheered loudly. Causing Mr. Jacobs to pause as he spoke and everyone look over.

"And it's to Captain! No way, lemme read it!" He laughed and reached for it.

I tore it up into a million tiny pieces, "Its not a love letter idiot! Leave me alone, and mind your own buisness."

I stood up with the bunch of pieces in my hand and walked to the trash can. I threw them away and sighed, He fucking ruined it.

"Tommy?" Mr. Jacobs asked.

I looked up at him, "Hmm?"

"What was the meaning of that interruption?" He asked.

I got nervous, "I was just doodling and he started teasing me."

My lab partner scoffed, "Not true! He was writing a lo-"

"Enough." Mr. Jacobs said, "Just keep your voice levels down while I'm teaching, please. And Tommy....I'm sorry about your doodles." He frowned.

It was like he knew....that it was something important to me that I ripped up just to avoid being made fun of.

For me...it was like I'd just ripped up my feelings and thrown them away-

That's not it though- and...it's better to confess in person anyway.

I took a deep breath and then refocused as Mr. Jacobs continued where he'd left off.

Then my eyes wandered over to Ranboo. He had light pink cheeks and was still staring at me. Finally he'd looked away for the first time.

God that was embarrassing....

And all because of this shit of a lab partner.

This reminds me of why I hate football players. They're stuck up idiots who think they're all that. No regards for others and absolutely obnoxious!

That is...except for Ranboo.

He's- er- let's not get into that right now.

I sighed, Lets just hope Ranboo doesn't ask about the paper....and he didn't hear what my dumb lab partner said.

That would be- an issue.
