It felt weird going to school the next morning... I felt nervous about seeing Dante and it gave me chills. As I walked onto school property he was waiting for me. "Armeria!" "G-good morning, Dante," I said quietly. I didn't look at him... my face grew hot and I felt slightly embarrassed. "Good morning. Hey... is something wrong?" he asked. I shook my head. "No! I was just thinking of stuff that's all! No need to worry!" I said smiling. "Hmm... okay then. Do you wanna hold hands?" he asked as he extended his left hand towards me. I blushed. "O-okay..." I whispered and I reached my hand out. He grinned and took it. He kissed the too of my hand before interlacing our fingers. He smiled sweetly at me and I smiled back. What was this? Were we dating? No. What was this that we were doing...? "The Halloween dance is coming up in a few days isn't it..." I said quietly. "Hm? Oh yeah it is! I can't wait! You're going to look so cute!" he said gripping more tightly to my hand. "What?! I-I'm not going!" I shouted. "Huh?! You're not going to go with me...?" he asked. He pouter a bit and I felt a rush of guilt. "Fine. If it means that much to you I will go... but only if you stay with me and don't leave my side..." He grinned and he pulled me in for a hug. "Ha... as if I could leave you..." he whispered in my ear. "You mean too much to me." I blushed and I slowly put my arms around him. "Thanks..." I whispered back. He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Anything for you," he said and we went back to holding hands and walking towards the school. So this was love? Hmm... I kinda liked it...
