Victoz is a shy student he is lonely aue he is a victim of bullying and he has no friends but one day he meets a girl and his life changes forever.

The girl that was sitting next to him in math class was so pretty he couldn't help himself when she smiled at him the way she does. When she introduced herself he stuttered for the first time ever when she asked for his name. Victor was always nervous around girls.

He was also scared of her because she looked like she could snap him in half with her pinky finger.

She had long wavy brown hair that reached down her back, it was messy and unkempt just like him. She wore blue jeans and an oversized hoodie.

When Victor introduced himself to her she only smiled and told him it was nice to meet him.

Victoz was never good at social interaction and now he was terrified of her. He didn't understand how she managed to make him feel comfortable talking to her.

It wasn't until she started telling him about what happened on the weekend that Victor felt a bit braver.

She told him that her name was Lila and she was a junior. She had two older sisters and one brother that were both sophomores.

He listened intently as she spoke to him about all of her favorite movies and music. He felt his heart melt when she showed him pictures of them all together. They seemed so happy together and Victor was jealous.

But he was even more jealous when she mentioned that she wanted to go on a date with him soon. He had never even thought someone would want to be with him let alone talk to him. He was shocked and speechless. But before he could reply she had already turned around to talk to someone else.

Victoz sighed to himself as he tried to get his thoughts in order. He couldn't get the beautiful brunette out of his head. He wanted desperately for it to happen again.

The next day Victor was in English class staring out the window when they heard a loud crash from downstairs. Victor turned around immediately to see Mr. Yevgeniy walking over toward the source of the noise.

Mr. Yevgeniy walked towards his desk and placed a hand on top of the pile of papers Victor hadn't bothered putting away.

He knew better than to bother the teacher during a lecture or while grading essays. So he sat quietly waiting to hear why their class was in chaos.

Mr. Yevgeniy began to talk after the students settled down, "I apologize for this interruption but some kids decided to throw things across the room. I don't know what happened but if you need me to assign homework please feel free to come to my office or the front of the class to ask. This won't happen again, right?" Everyone nodded in agreement and the teacher left the classroom with his laptop bag hanging off his shoulder.

Victor stayed seated listening as he watched other students pack up their stuff and leave the class. He was glad that his essay was graded and not assigned. It's not every day that you get such an amazing grade.

Suddenly Victor heard someone speak behind him, "Hey, where do you think we are going?" It was the brunette girl. She sounded angry which made Victor jump a little.

Before Victor could respond he felt hands grip onto his shoulders tightly and he heard the sound of a chair being pushed backwards, "You have 10 seconds to tell me where you are going or I'll make your life hell." A second later his face was grabbed by the same person who had pulled him into the chair earlier. "Now talk! You aren't getting away."

Victor swallowed hard and nervously looked from his lap to her eyes, "Um...where am I going?" The look he saw caused his stomach to churn in fear.

Lila laughed and released his arm, "So what do you say, do you want to hang out?"

Victor blinked, not believing what he just heard, "Uh...

what?" he said dumbly. Was she asking him out? Did she actually believe that he liked her?

Lila laughed again, "Did I stutter?" She grabbed Victor's hand gently, "What do you say? I promise I will keep my hands to myself. I mean I can't promise much considering I broke yours but still you know? I mean what's the harm?" She looked directly into Victor's dark brown eyes and gave his hand another squeeze.

Victor stared at their entwined fingers for a moment then looked back into her eyes. He suddenly realized that she was serious. His cheeks flushed slightly as he answered, "I...um yeah I would really like that." He blushed harder when he noticed how close she had gotten.

She smirked at him and leaned closer to him, causing Victor to hold his breath. Before she got any closer she whispered in his ear, "Meet me at my place tomorrow night at 8:30 sharp. Be ready with all the snacks." With that she winked and walked away.

Victor stared at her retreating figure and was surprised he didn't fall to the ground. His mind felt light and he felt giddy. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
