senior I love you

It was a beautiful summer day. Riley was sitting in his class and was waiting for the school bell to ring.

As soon as the bell rang, Riley ran out of his class, and behind him, Dean, his best friend, followed him.

Dean was shouting from behind to stop Riley, but Riley didn't listen to Dean. He kept running until he reached the place he called Miles today.

After reaching there, he looked around to see if there was any other student other than him, but no, there was no one until Dean came there too.

"Please don't say anything. I already know what you are going to say." Riley said, as he saw Dean was about to open his mouth to say something.

"But you know he'll beat you if you say something weird again." Dean said.

"Oh. Don't worry. He can't beat my handsome face again and again, can he?" Riley smiled as he ruffled his hair.

Dean rolled his eyes and sighed. 'Like he didn't do anything last time and before that.' Dean knew that Riley was going to get beaten hard this time.

"Fine. Do whatever you like to do. But then don't call me for help."

"Okay, I won't." Riley immediately replied. He was going to confess to Miles today, and nobody could stop him from doing so.

"Why do you always—" Dean was again going to say something, but stopped as he saw miles coming behind Riley.

Riley turned his head to see what had made Dean stop lecturing him, and now he was stunned too, but unlike Dean, not out of fear but because Miles was again looking handsome.

"I guess I must go now," Dean said before running away to save his life.

Now only Riley and Miles were left there. They both were looking at each other quitely before Miles said,

"So say it. Why did you call me today? But remember, don't say anything stupid or don't blame me for beating you." After giving the warning, Miles leaned on the tree behind him and waited for Riley to speak.

Riley's heart was beating fast. He didn't know where to start, but he had to say it.

"Senior." He started as he raised his head to look at miles. " I...I want to go on a date with you."

At first, Miles was surprised by Riley's words, but then he smiled and started laughing loudly. No one had ever joked with him like this before. Although Riley comes up with something stupid to say every day, this was the funniest one.

"Haha, this is a really funny joke, kid. Don't any girl want to date you so that you come to me?" Miles said and laughed with more heart.

"But I'm not joking. I'm serious."  Riley said confidently.

The smile on Miles' face suddenly faded.

"Do you forget last time's beating?" Miles asked with a scary look on his face.

'How can I? It's still hurting where you kicked me last time.' Riley thought as he touched his butt.

Seeing where Riley was touching, Miles slapped his forehead. Of course, Miles knew where he had beaten him; he didn't need to highlight it like that.

"I haven't forgotten." Riley looked into Miles' eyes. "And I'm serious about what I said. I really want to date you."

"Shut up! Am I joke you? Do you act like this with your other seniors too?" Miles clenched his fists tightly, trying to remain calm. He really didn't want to hit this boy again.

Riley took a step forward, grabbed Miles by his shoulders, and said, looking into his eyes,

"I'm not joking. I truly---" Before Riley could complete his words, a heavy punch hit his face and knocked him to the ground.

Miles grabbed him by his collar and stood him up before giving Riley another punch, which hit his nose hard.

Riley touched his nose, and it was hurting. He started feeling dizzy, and before complete darkness came over his eyes, he heard his senior calling out his name.

"Hey, hey, get up.  Don't die here." Miles  patted Riley's cheek as he tried to wake him up, but Riley didn't respond.

'Don't tell me that he fainted with just two punches?' Miles was dumbfounded.
