CHAPTER SEVEN

~ WEDNESDAY ~

POGO: How's lessons? Am I distracting you? X

Smiling to herself, Ally checked to make sure that the teacher wasn't looking before replying to Pogue.

ALLY: They're boring. And yes. Go away. See ya later x

POGO: Can't wait. See ya beautiful. X

Struggling to fight the shit eating grin, Ally forced herself to try and pay attention to the lesson and she even managed to write down a couple of notes. Reid wasn't any help either. The blond, glove wearing flirt kept blowing in her ear, or playing with her hair, or drawing patterns on her arms and at one point, he even licked her cheek. By the end of the lesson, Ally had only answered two questions but at least it was two more than Reid. For revenge, as Reid was walking over to a pretty redhead with a flirty look on his face, Ally lifted his foot up with hers when he took a step forward and he stumbled into the lockers.

"You're such a brat." He hissed when he noticed the redhead wasn't interested anymore. Ally just laughed as Reid wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they walked to lunch together.

"Sarah, will you hurry up? I know I offered to drop you off to the dorms but I never imagined it would take you this long to get your books. I've got places to be." Ally whined.

"Pogue's not going anywhere." Sarah giggled at her friend's impatience.

"Well, I'm aware, because he's in the hospital. The place I need to be at in like, five minutes. Hurry up." Ally whined again, starting to sound like a child. Sarah continued to laugh at her friends childishness.

"You've seen him for the past two days." Sarah pointed out.

"Well, we have a lot of catching up to do." Ally said innocently.

"Yeah sure. That's what they're calling it these days." Sarah sniggered. "He spends more time with you than he does with Kate. She's driving me crazy these days."

"Can you blame him? But, once again, four years." Ally defended.

"Whatever you say. Just promise me one thing." Sarah pleaded.

"Sure. What?"

"I better be Maid of Honour at your wedding, Mrs Parry." Sarah teased, bumping her hip against Ally's as they climbed into her car.

POGO: Where are you? I wanted to see you, like five minutes ago. X

ALLY: Sarah was being a pain. I won't be long. If you still want to see me ;) x

POGO: Of course I still want to see you. Everyday forever. X

"Hey! I am not a pain. I'm a pure delight." Sarah protested with a fake hurt look on her face.

"Sure you are, Golden Girl. Whatever you say. Now, do you still want to go to the dorms or do you want to see my brother?"

All Ally had to do was look at Sarah's face to know the answer.

"To my house, we go!" Ally chuckled before throwing her phone in her bag and driving away from Spenser Academy.

"I'm here!" Ally panted as she burst into Pogue's room, ten minutes later than she usually was.

"Ally, hey." Pogue said, less enthusiastically than he usually did.

"Is everything okay?" Ally asked, her eyes narrowing.

"Kate's here. She just turned up. I'm sorry." Pogue apologised, looking guilty.

"Why are you apologising? She's your girlfriend. I'll just go and maybe, visit you tomorrow?"

"I'd love it if you did." Pogue smirked.

"Alright. Well, I'll see you later." Ally leant over the bed and gave Pogue a quick kiss on the cheek before turning to leave. A large, warm hand on her wrist prevented her from going far. Turning to look at Pogue, she saw a conflicted look in his eyes.

"Saturday. I get out of the hospital Saturday. Remember that because you're all mine for the day. I told everyone else I wasn't getting out until Sunday." Pogue gave Ally a wink before releasing her arm from his hold.

"Trust me, I'll be there." Ally breathed out.

Grabbing her bag off of the floor, Ally rushed out the room before she encountered Kate. That was not a meeting she wanted to have ever again. As Ally slid into the driver's seat of her car, she sat there for a moment trying to gather her thoughts.

POGO: Pick me up at 10:00. Don't be late. I have a great day planned for the two of us together. Alone. X

The skin of her arm that had come into contact with Pogue's tingled and Ally had to remember how to get home because her thoughts had become so clouded with thoughts of Pogue. What the hell was going on with her? She never got like this over guys. Never. Especially not ones with girlfriends.
