Speeches.

They’re the bane of one Virgil’s existence.

Last week, his english teacher had announced to his class that on February 19th, his entire class was to present a speech on any topic they wanted. Virgil had done it (at the last minute of course) and according to his best friend Patton, it was really good, but that didn’t cease Virgil’s fears.

Now here he was, sat at his desk at 2:06pm on February 19th, scared shitless.

As Mrs. Desri droned on about the rules and how much time each person gets, Virgil’s leg continued to bounce, it’s pace getting faster and faster as his teacher continued to talk. He took a look around the room, his heart rate increasing even more as he saw a bunch of unfamiliar faces. Yes, he’s been in class with these kids since the beginning of the year, but he couldn’t help but long for at least one of his friends to be in this class.

Grey eyes met strikingly blue in a flash and Virgil quickly avoided whoever he had made eye contact with.

“So, who would like to go first? Remember, if no one volunteers, I’m randomly picking a student,” Mrs. Desri asked, looking around the room, a frown slowly painting her face when she saw no one raise their hand.

She really was a sweet woman, thick blonde hair cut at her shoulders and her eyes were an emerald green. She was a short woman in her mid twenties, and she acted just like it. Rachel Desri was her daughter who was in Virgil’s english class, and Virgil couldn’t help but be envious. If only his mother were the teacher here, she wouldn’t make him do these stupid presentations.

Virgil watched Mrs. Desri scan the room, ducking his head when her eyes quickly approached his own. Copper stained his tongue as he bit his lip, picking at his cuticles under his desk.

Suddenly, a hand shot up in the air steadily, and Virgil’s heart stopped.

“Ah, Mr. McKenna, thank you for volunteering,” Mrs. Desri beamed, motioning for the boy to come up to the front of the room.

Virgil watched the boy tap his notecards with his pointer finger, each of them lining up neatly in a pile.

“Alright Logan, take it away!” Mrs. Desri chided.

Logan.

The name echoed in his head. He recalled Patton bringing up the name Logan McKenna once or twice before. They were lab partners, Patton had told him.

The boy - Logan - seeked out Virgil in the sea of students, winking at him quickly before delving into his presentation.

Vaguely, Virgil could hear the boy talk about planets and constellations, his project being about astronomy or something like that. He tried to pay attention to this beautiful boy speak, but he couldn’t get the image of that sly wink and that friendly smirk out of his mind.

In the back of his mind, Virgil could make out the sound of applause and his eyes hyper focused on the boy walking back to his seat across the room from his own.

Class went by in a blur as more and more students continued to present their speeches, but for some reason, Virgil didn’t care. His mind was already preoccupied with the handsome boy he’d have to thank after class.
