Layla

You both had eyes on each other ever since you both attended the school...

Those sneaky little glances you both threw at each other never went unnoticed to both of you...

You could recall every sleepless night, thinking about her for who knows how long until the sun rose...

One of few things you could never hide was, how effectively her presence pulled you towards her.

After an entire year of silence, you spoke up, offering to be friends.

She accepted, and your friendship slowly flowered, like a beautiful, red rose in a garden.

Quickly, the friendship developed into more, occasional nicknames and gifts that turned into kisses and rare cuddle sessions..

And now, you're both in a forest that was near your school.

Yes, you both skipped the last lesson, but who cares anyway? You'd rather hold her hand and listen to her speak and write boring notes in your desk.

Slowly, you walked together down the path, admiring the scenery surrounding you..

Your gaze fell down on a specific few flowers that grew on the ground. A wild species of Dahlia. A rare one in addition.

You kneeled down, gently plucking out one before handing it to Layla.

Her cheeks blushed gently, taking the flower from your hand and sniffing it

"Thank you.."

She said, a small smile forming on her lips
