Rumors weren't circulating yet, but everyone suspected. The two had yet to show it, or someone had yet to ask either Erika or Branson. Everyone wanted to know, so why didn't anyone ask?
Erika opened her locker, and all her reading books fell out, along with a folded paper.
Meet me by the edge of the Track--Branson Her face flushed.
Does he... does he... She felt very embarassed. Erika was surprised that he actually wanted to do this; unless it was one big joke to him.
But it wasn't.
Branson was waiting there at the edge of the track, as he said he would be. Erika approached him nervously. As she did, she though 'I knew it... I knew it from the start... he doesn't like me... She fell into tears as she neared him.
"What's the matter?" Branson asked when they met.
"It... it's... it's over now, isn't it??" she bawled. "You're way out of my league and you realize that!"
"What are you talking about, Erika?"
"You probably won't even hug me..."
As soon as she said it, Branson snatched her into his arms. She stopped crying suddenly, listening to his heart beat, his lungs breathing. He apologized.
"I'm sorry... but, with time, promise... I will learn..."
Erika raised herself onto her toes and was level with his face. Branson cupped her head in his hands, and they kissed.

A very sweet story of first love...and one that brings back memories of how painfully unsure of themselves kiids can be at that age. If you flesh this out, you would have a good story about the anxiety and angst of being a "teenager in love"
Aaawww.
It ended so quickly, you kind of wanted to read more.
Maybe you could write just a bit more feeling, description, to make this longer and so the feeling of utter joy as you read this lasts a bit, you know?
Welcome !
