Part 3!!!

"Ex" hardly describes it. We barely dated; it was just one of those silly middle school relationships. Of course, when it was over, the breakup caused all sorts of drama and he spread rumors which she told him and he told her. A year went by of awkward instant messages, regretful looks and lonely slow dances. Sparks lit the day we were both without rides after school. Soon, thanks to assigned seats, his binder was surprisingly close to mine. I fiddled with the zipper pull even though his hand was resting on top of the "Staples" logo that was inches from my fingers. He started fiddling too, and for the first time in a long while, I didn't pull back.
