My Heart only Beats for You

Montez was just a child. What would he know? How could she have asked him that?

Yesseca quickly said, "Montez, just pretend I didn't say that. I shouldn't have asked you that,"

Montez was quiet.

Just then, a woman's gentle voice called out, "Montez, something's happened in class. Can you come out for a moment?"

Qiana was standing at the door of the dance hall.

Montez was surprised. "What is it, Ms. Qiana?"

Qiana gently called him over, "Come over here,"

Yesseca, who was still embarrassed, said, "Montez, you should go back to your class. I should go,"

Qiana then said, "It's nothing much, he'll be back shortly. Please wait for a moment, Miss Cowell,"

Montez added, "Don't leave yet, Yesseca. Wait for me. Ms. Qiana gave me some delicious chocolate today. I'll bring some for you later,"

Qiana had given him some chocolate that morning. It was very delicious. Montez only ate half of it and placed the other half in his school bag. He was going to finish the rest of it when he got home.

Now that Yesseca was here, he was definitely going to share it with her.

Seeing how excited Montez was, she could only comply.

Qiana brought Montez back to the classroom.

It wasn't a big deal. Montez's pile of blocks had been knocked down by another child.

Montez waved his hand magnanimously. "It's fine, Ms. Qiana. I won't get into a fight with these children."

Qiana laughed, "You're a kid yourself,"

Montez said seriously, "Although I am the same age as them, I am much more mature than them. I'm very different, Ms. Qiana,"

Having said that, Montez went to his school bag and took out his half- eaten chocolate bar. "I'm going to share this with Yesseca. Ms. Qiana, you don't mind, do you?"
