Comfort: A sweet love story

I slowly sat down on one of the chairs in the Black Box, trying to hold the tears in. I'm failing two classes, which has never happened before. I'm definitely not obsessed with getting super amazing grades, but it's been awhile since I've failed two. It's Chemistry and History, by the way. "JoAnn?" A familiar voice questioned from in front of me. I looked up and saw the worried face of Camron looking down at me. Camron is the most amazing guy friend I've ever had in my life. Despite the fact that he's a year younger than me, he's more mature than most of the boys I know. He's pretty cute, too. Brown hair with bangs, gorgeous brown eyes, and flawless skin. He sat next to me, looking rather worried about me. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Nothing." I replied with a shrug, not looking at him as the tears began to build up in my eyes."Look at me and say that." He ordered softly. I looked up, but I couldn't force the words out of my mouth. "That's what I thought. Now tell me what's wrong." He said, and I swallowed as a tear streamed down my cheek. "I'm failing two of my classes. Chemistry and History, by the way.I feel so sad because I was doing so well and now I'm failing. I feel stupid for failing, okay?" I explained, sobbing now. "Oh, honey." He murmured, wrapping an arm around me as I sobbed into his shoulder. "Listen, sweetheart. Chemistry is a difficult class. I'm skirting the edge of failing myself. It's hard to pass with all of the math. Believe me, I know." He said, now soothingly rubbing my back. "But-" I started to say but he cut me off. "JoAnn, are you trying in those classes?" He asked, lifting my chin with his finger. "Of course." I replied shakily. "Then that's all that both the thespians and I and everyone else can ask for, Okay?" He stated then asked. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself before nodding. He smiled slightly, showing those pearly whites of his that I loved. "Good. And you know that you can always come to me for help, right?" He asked. "Yes." I replied with a smile. "Good. Feeling better?" He asked, smiling back. I nodded, wiping a stray tear from my face as his smile widened. "Great! Pretty girls like you shouldn't be that sad." He stated, and I blushed."Y-you think I'm pretty?" I asked shyly. "No. I think you're absolutely gorgeous. I've thought that when we met back in junior high. I kinda have a crush on you, JoAnn" He said quietly, blushing now. I smiled at how cute his confession was before I answered him. "Cammie, I like you, too." I murmured. I faintly heard the bell wring and we got up.He grinned and pulled me in for a tight hug. I hugged him back, taking in his wonderful scent. We pulled away a few seconds later. "So, are you free tonight?" He asked as we walked out of the Black Box and into the somewhat busy hallway. "Yes." I replied as he lace his fingers through mine. I felt shivers go through my body at the feeling. He grinned. "So how would you feel about a date tonight at around 7:00?" He asked. We reached the dance gym and I grinned and nodded eagerly. "Awesome. I can't wait!" He said, leaned down, and kissed my cheek. "I'll see you tonight." He said before walking off to his fourth period. I stood there for a few seconds before walking into the dance gym with a sigh. I dressed and danced in a daze. The only thought in my mind being I have a date with Camron tonight! Ever since that day, we've been going out. We've had our ups and downs, but we're for the most part happy with our lives.
