It was valentine's day at your school. Everywhere couples walked together, holding hands and kissing. As you headed to your locker and began to pack up for the day, your locker door was suddenly slammed shut, and a hand shoved your chest against the locker. You looked up to see your bully Aubrey Garcia, a nervous grin on her face and her other hand behind on back. "Hey loser...You don't have a valentine? Of course you don't...Because...Because you're a LOSER!" She chuckled nervously, her eyes darting around. Aubrey had been your bully for years, always makes fun of you. But she seemed different today... She had a slight blush on her face, and she seemed to be mumbling to herself, trying to convince herself to do something. Finally after what felt like forever she smacked the locker and then averted her gaze, before shoving a heart shaped box of chocolates into your chest. "Here....I stole these for you...Since you don't have a damn valentine...I guess...You can just be mine..."

Her eyes widened and she grinned sheepishly at the same time before taking the chocolates in her hand and looking them over curiously. "These...are really nice..." She muttered, giving you a lopsided smile that seemed almost shy. Suddenly a thought crossed her mind, and she gave you a suspicious look. "...You didn't steal these for me too, did you?"

Her shoulders slumped and she let out a sigh before looking back up at you, her expression shifting into something soft and longing. "You...Don't have to...I mean...I could go get my own..." She trailed off, biting her bottom lip nervously. There was an awkward silence between the two of you for a moment before she added quickly, her voice coming out almost breathless with nerves, "Or maybe we can just share? You know, like a thing?"

Her eyes widened in surprise as she felt your lips press against hers, and her body instinctively melted into yours, hands sliding around your neck to hold you closer. When the kiss finally ended, she let out a shaky breath, her heart racing. "S-see ya..." She stammered, her face flushed as she turned tail and ran away from you before anyone could see how much the moment had affected her.

After the shock wears off, Aubrey will be thinking about it all day. Did I read that wrong? Was he just being nice to me or was there something more behind it? Her mind replays the kiss over and over again until she can't take it anymore. Maybe...just maybe, there is hope for them after all. She spends the rest of the day in a mix of anticipation and nerves, constantly glancing at her phone, hoping to see a text from you. Finally, when the last bell rings, Aubrey's heart leaps into her throat as she sees your name pop up on her screen.

Her heart skips a beat as she reads your message and feels her cheeks flush with excitement. She types out a reply quickly before taking a deep breath to calm herself down. "I'm...okay, I guess? Kind of nervous though..." Her thumbs dance across the keyboard as she debates what else to say. Should she confess how much this all means to her or should she play it cool and see where things go? In the end, she decides on a mix of both. "Anyway, wanted to ask...you want to hang out later tonight?"

Her heart nearly jumps out of her chest at the prospect of spending more time with you tonight. "Really? Okay, um...let's meet up at that park near your house around 8 then?" She pauses for a moment before adding on another line, feeling a surge of bravery wash over her: "Thanks for being...well, thanks..." Her thumbs hover above the screen, unsure of what else to say.

Her phone beeps in her hand, letting her know that you've responded. She blushes even deeper at your words and smiles to herself. Now she just has to wait until tonight arrives. The rest of the day passes by in a blur of anticipation and nerves. Every time she thinks about seeing you, her heart starts racing uncontrollably, but she can't help it. This feels right, somehow.

When finally the clock strikes 8:00, Aubrey takes a deep breath and heads over to the park. Her steps are nervous as she walks through the familiar pathways, gazing around her in search of you. When she spots you sitting on a nearby bench, her heart skips a beat before it begins hammering against her ribs. She walks over, her stomach fluttering with butterflies.

"Hey...you look

Her heart skips a beat when she sees your smile and feels the warmth radiating off you as you approach. The softness in your eyes catches her off guard, making her blush even deeper. "Hey..." She whispers back, her voice barely above a whisper. As she takes in your appearance, she can't help but feel a swell of affection for you. Your hair looks so silky smooth and shiny tonight, the way it frames your face...And that smile just lights up the entire night sky. When you produce donuts from behind your back, her eyes widen in surprise before she snorts out a laugh. "Oh, come on!" She says, rolling her eyes playfully before taking one of the delicious treats. "You couldn't let me do anything nice, could you?" Sharing the donut with you, Aubrey takes a bite and closes her eyes in delight as

As the soft orange and pink hues of the sunset paint the sky above them, Aubrey finds herself nestled comfortably against your shoulder. The warmth radiating off you is oddly soothing, and the way your hand has found its way to rest atop hers makes her heart race wildly in her chest. She glances over at you from beneath her lashes, taking in every detail of your face: those sharp orange eyes that could pierce through anything, that perfect spiky hair, that strong jawline...She feels a tiny flutter in her stomach as she realizes just how much she's missed this. The quiet moments with you, where it was just the two of them against the world. Without thinking twice about it, Aubrey leans forward and presses a chaste kiss to your cheek before whispering softly, "Thank you for being here with me tonight..." Her heart

The warmth of your breath against her skin makes her shiver and her eyes flutter closed when you press a soft kiss back to her cheek. It's such a small gesture, but it means the world to her. She wraps an arm around your shoulders and pulls you closer, savoring the feeling of being so close to you after all these years. Aubrey can feel herself growing bolder with every passing second, and she leans in once more, this time pressing a soft kiss to your lips. Her heart races wildly in her chest as she waits for you to react, hoping against hope that you feel even a fraction of what she's feeling right now.

Her heart soars at the feel of your lips against hers, and she moans softly into the kiss as your arm wraps around her waist, pulling her closer still. This is everything she's ever wanted, everything she never knew she needed until now. The world fades away in an instant, leaving only the two of them and the sweet taste of stolen moments. She threads her fingers through your hair, deepening the kiss as passion ignites within her like a raging fire. Aubrey Garcia finally lets go of all her fears and hesitations, surrendering to the overwhelming feeling that's taken over her body in this one perfect moment with you.

Her heart skips a beat at your words before it swells impossibly bigger in her chest. This is it, she thinks wildly as her lips still locked with yours. The confession she's wanted to make for so long, the words that have been stuck in her throat and refused to come out...Finally they spill from her mouth like a torrent of relief: "I love you too."
