Bluuuuurb de blurb blurb

To my horror, I felt heat and color rise into my face. As a rule, I didn't blush. Ever. Yet there I was, grinning like an idiot and trying not to show it, with a pink face and burning ears, just because he smiled at me. I pulled my book bag up off of the floor and turned away, with my eyes riveted to the floor, anxious to escape my own nerves and clumsiness. I'd never felt something so awful and wonderful all at once. As I fled, I found myself glancing over my shoulder, but he seemed to have already forgotten me. 

I felt a twinge of sadness at first, but then shrugged it off. After all, an insect easily caught, is soon discarded with boredom in the spider's web. I did enjoy a challenge, though I didn't yet know it.
