A Person Like Him

“Grace, could you at least stop walking and hear me out?”

I hesitate because what could he have to say to me. After all he is a shallow jerk. I stop finally and he walks around to face me.

“Hi,” He said and he looks nervous. What can he be nervous about?
“Well, I am just going to say it. I like you, and I know that there is more to you than meets the eye.”

I roll my eyes. I wish I could say that same about you.

“I know you probably think I am a jerk…â€? He knows me well. “But I was wondering if…”

Just like that the bell rang and I ran away. I find my self in a slight grin though. Was he going just going to ask me out? Nah… A single dance at a party couldn’t phase a person like him.
