"mil," jax said at lunch, "please just talk to him...i'm sure he'll love you."

"he won't, jax." mil snapped, taking a bite of her sandwich. "he's just going to think i'm a loser."

"hun, you're not a loser." jax replied empathetically, patting her shoulder.

"you don't think i'm a loser?" mil said, standing up from her chair. "fine. i'll prove it to you." she strolled over to the table filled with senior boys. she stopped in front of daniel, and flashed a warm smile. "hey."

"hey, mil." dan smiled.

holy fuck he knows my name.

"i had a question for you." she said, leaning forward. "i'm having a little trouble with math, and i've been looking for a tutor. do you think you could help me out?"

"sure." he smiled. "how about today after school?"

"that'd be great." she smiled. she walked away from the table and blushed, smiling happily at jax.

"oh my god!" jax squealed. "you've got a date with him!"

"it's not a date." she giggled. "but it's pretty damn close."

"ahh you two will be such a cute couple!"

"yeah, we would."

"i wonder what the children would look like..." jax said, staring off into space.

"shut up." mil gasped, punching his shoulder playfully.

"wait," jax said, "did you read the note?"

"what note?"

"the one you got this morning."

"how did you know it was a note?"

"oh, please." jax scoffed. "there was a heart on the front. it was a note." mil rolled her eyes and dug around in the backpack, her fingers brushing the note. she pulled it out and opened it, smiling to herself as she read the loopy handwriting.

i really hope i get to see you again today. each day i hear your voice, it brings me joy. love, your s.a. xx
