AN: Sorry it's been so long. This is what I've got so far of the future chapters. I know it's really short and basically filler, but I'll explain more at the end. For now, enjoy!
The rest of the weekend passed quickly, Jareth spending much of it over at my house, except for the nights, and before I knew it, Monday had rolled around. I walked into the classroom, setting my stuff out on my desk. A moment later, I heard someone open the door and walk in. I glanced up, not particularly surprised to see Jareth there. He walked up to me, pulling me in for a quick kiss and a hug. I melted into him and pulled away an instant before the door opened. I arranged myself at my desk, staring down with a blush as Mr. Dirksen walked into the room.
"Good morning, Williams, King," he said with a nod of his head.
"Good morning, Sir," I replied, still not looking up from my work.
I felt Jareth slip into the seat beside me, but kept my gaze on what I was doing. I wasn't sure how to act around him now that we were at school. It was almost funny actually, being worried that he would change from the person I had spent so much time with over the weekend. Still, I couldn't help myself. Classes started a few minutes later and I threw myself into them, feigning ignorance when it came to Jareth's mood. It was getting blacker as I turned down his attempts at affection. I still wasn't sure how to act, if I even wanted everyone to know we were together.
No, that's not it…. I thought, it's that I don't know how to accept his advances now that we are in a public setting. If it was just Les, I would be perfectly comfortable and in fact, was earlier this weekend, but now that I'm around people I don't know extremely well, I'm lost.
Lunch came around, with Jareth obviously irritated and me still extremely self-conscious. Leslie met us outside the doorway, took one look at us and yanked Jareth off to the side, already knowing what was going through my head. I sighed in relief, knowing that she would tell him why he needed to back off.
A boy struck up a conversation with me, so I obliged him until Les and Jareth came back. It was almost cute, the way he kept blushing whenever I looked him in the eye. I found myself actually enjoying the conversation. I decided to give him a confidence booster, so I flirted extremely lightly with him, giving him attention more than an actual come-hither. I laughed at some of the stuff he said, causing him to blush again and I nearly commented on it before I remembered that I did the same thing when it came to a cute guy and it embarrassed the hell out of me when they said anything about it.
I mentioned that I thought he was cute but that I had someone I was interested in already. Then, before he could feel the sting of my words, I sneakily pointed out a cute girl that had yet to stop staring at him since class started and suggested that he talk to her. I knew her by association, and she was sweet.
Satisfied, I smiled when he thanked me and nodded. I thought back to what I knew of her schedule, "A lunch date would be perfect, maybe this Saturday?"
He nodded and I grinned at him, "Get going, then. See you later."
I heard a growl from behind me, then hands gripped me, yanking me back against a hard chest. I felt a mouth brush against my ear, "Mine," he growled, then spun me in his arms and his lips came crashing down on mine. I tried to squirm away at first, conscious of where we were. He pulled back in an instant, staring into my wide eyes. His were blazing, with possessive anger or want, I wasn't sure. His breathing was heavy and his grip tight, "Sarah," he growled again, eyes still searching mine. He must have seen what he was looking for, because an instant later, his mouth pressed to mine again and I couldn't help but shiver against him, feeling the heat in his lips as he opened my jaw with his own, plundering my mouth thoroughly. This was the first time he'd kissed me like this. I couldn't help the slight moan that escaped into his mouth at the feeling of his fist tangled in my hair and his mouth stealing my very breath.
He pulled away after a moment, a triumphant smirk gracing his lips as he glanced around. Dazed, I followed his gaze, immediately noting that everyone was staring and idly wondering why I had any objection to going public. My eyes wandered back to his and his smirk grew wider at my sudden blush as I realized that we had just made out in the hallway. I looked away, but he pulled my face back to him, pressing his lips once to mine before whispering in my ear again, "Mine, Sarah. Only mine."
I shivered again, knowing I should be freaked out at the sudden possessiveness he was showing, but honestly just being turned on by it. I smiled, "Jareth, are you honestly jealous of the boy I was giving advice to?" (who was, by the way, nowhere in sight.)
He growled, "Extremely. I only heard the last part, so you can't blame me."
I just shook my head and smiled at him again, standing on tip-toe and brushing my lips over his again, "I'm with you, even if I was nervous about showing it."
I noticed Leslie out of the corner of my eye, grinning like a Cheshire.
I sat in my bedroom that night, my fingers pressed to my lips and a crystal in my other hand. I thought back over the day. Jareth had taken me to a little pond with ducks in it. He had a picnic that someone had passed him as we walked out the door and we had enjoyed a while in the sunlight. When we got back, we did homework as usual, but he had to go, so we said goodbye.
I sighed as I lay on top of my covers. I knew it would be all over the school the next day. I was considered somewhat of an ice-queen when it came to dating and Jareth was the new student. Oh, yea… it would be EVERYWHERE. The teachers would even know. I still couldn't feel regretful, I was too happy. I placed the crystal carefully on the nightstand and closed my eyes, drifting to sleep.
AN: Sorry. I'm having a lot of trouble working on this lately. The person who was helping me with the plot and keeping my outline on track is gone from my life, in a really bad way that is making me and my parents press charges against him. I'm alright, but I'm having some trouble thinking of the ideas that he gave me without automatically rebelling and throwing them out. I really kind of hate him right now, but I'm trying to push through it, because I started this story without him and I intend to finish it without him. That's also why the name and my pen-name have changed. Thanks for sticking with me!
-Blue.
