Demi's POV
How should I respond to this? I mean, I can't say that that question hasn't been in my head the entire day, because it has. Now, Selena's in my tent and I have to answer it. I'm beyond excited and thrilled that we're spending time together; I just haven't figured out that answer myself yet.
"To be honest, I don't really know a title for us right now," I say and her face drops a little at that. "But what I do know is that I have feelings for you that I've never had for anyone before, especially not this soon. And I now know that you also have feelings for me. So no matter the circumstances, I'm willing to give being something more a teacher and student a try. And by Friday, I'm pretty sure we'll figure out a little more about us."
Her face visually brightens up at that, which makes my heart flutter.
"But, there's no reason to be nervous sweety. Right now, I'm not Miss Munroe your teacher, I'm just Demi," I assure her. If we're going to make whatever this is work, I don't want her to be all panicky around me just because I'm her teacher.
I don't notice that I called her 'sweety' until I finish my statement. She seems to like it though, as she smiles.
"I got it. So, what will we do on Friday?"
Oh, crap. I honestly haven't gotten up an idea yet. It's not like we can go just anywhere, because anyone could see us. "Well, I'm gonna take you out."
"And by out you mean," she asks. It's pretty obvious that she knows that I have no clue and she's just trying to mess with me.
"It's a… surprise," I say unconvincingly.
"Uh huh. Is it a surprise or do you just not have a clue yourself?" she asks with a knowing smile, playfully nudging me in the stomach with her elbow before turning her body to face me. I can't help but start laughing, and she joins me.
"What is this, twenty questions?"
"No, but we should so play that!" She says and I giggle at her excitement. This girl is never boring to me.
"We should, that sounds fun. Okay, you go first."
"Hmm," she makes a thinking sound, rubbing her chin cutely. "What are your favorite things to do?"
"Hmm," I make the same sound she did and rub my chin, intentionally mocking her. She notices and bursts out laughing.
"Oh my gosh, who knew you're such a jerk!" She laughs some more, pushing my shoulder lightly.
"What? Selena, plus thinking face, equals cute."
"Whatever," she says, waving a hand in the air.
"The correct response would be, 'Thank you my dear Demi'," I joke, pointing my finger at her.
"Again," she whispers with a smile on her face before leaning in close to me. Really close; I can feel her breath, which by the way smells delightful. "What and ever."
She begins to lean back again, but I take this moment to my advantage and spontaneously plant a quick kiss on her lips. Even though it was really short, feeling her lips against mine still had a crazy good affect on me. That seemed to catch her off guard and she smiles before leaning in again. This time, I lean back.
"It's my turn to answer the question Lena," I say in a teasing voice before gently pushing her away. She makes a cute pouty face. I think everything that this girl does I find cute.
"Ugh, Miss Mun- Demi, you're such a tease," she complains, almost calling me Miss Munroe again. She fails at keeping a straight face though.
"Miss MunDemi? I don't believe my parents ever named me that, but I guess if you absolutely want to call me that, I guess I can deal," I joke, she playfully hits my arm again. "I never knew you'd be so abusive," I feign hurt. She scoffs, which I can't help but smile at.
"Whatever, am not! I'd rather not call you 'Miss MunDemi'. Speaking of which, did you call me Lena a minute ago?" She asks. I hope she doesn't mind; I've only called her it once before, but I don't think she noticed. Maybe she doesn't like it.
"You don't like it?"
"Not really. I LOVE IT! No one else calls me that. Every calls me Sel, Selly, or Selena. Lena is different, a good kind of different, and I like it. Especially hearing it come from you," she says. She looks down after the last sentence, for some reason getting embarrassed. I lift her chin up.
"I'm glad you like it. I like saying it," I smile at her.
"Great. You never answered my question." She points out. I'd honestly forgotten all about that. I take a quick second to remember what her question was.
"Right! Well, I love singing, playing musical instruments, and writing," I say. Music is like my life.
"We do have some things in common," we both smile as she says that. "Will I ever get to hear you?"
"Maybe someday, yeah. Okay, my question. What's your middle name?"
"Marie."
"Marie," I repeat. I smile at the name. "I like it."
"Thanks," she blushes. "What's yours?"
"Devonne," I tell her
"I like that too. It fits you. Now, time for my question. What's the thing that terrifies you the most? Like, mine would be spiders."
"Spiders? You're terrified of spiders?" I playfully tease. Again, she lightly hits me while laughing. "Don't worry, I won't let no spider get to you."
"Great, now I have the protection of my oh so powerful history teacher," she sarcastically says. I feign hurt.
"Hey, knowledge is very powerful."
"I bet it is. Now, you still haven't answered my question."
"Oh, right… elevators," I admit. I hate being in those things.
"Elevators?" she asks incredulously and I nod. "So, you laugh at me for being afraid of spiders and you yourself are afraid of elevators. I'm sorry Demi, but I have to laugh at that," she says. I'm glad she finally called me Demi.
"You never know what will happen within those things. Plus it's small and creepy," I tell her.
"'Don't worry, I won't let no elevator get to you," she mimics my statement from earlier and I laugh at her antics.
The rest of the night goes like this. Either one of us asking a question then getting totally off topic. I love talking to Selena. It's really fun, nice, and… easy. We've learned a lot of new things about each other tonight yet there are so much more things to learn, I can tell. I thought that the whole night would be awkward what with the whole student and teacher thing, but tonight proved me wrong. It seems as though she's having as much of an easy time talking to me as I am with her. Everything just feels so natural.
After a while, she yawns. She tries to hide it, which is really cute, but I notice.
"We should probably get some sleep, we have the competitions tomorrow," I tell her and she frowns. "You're not looking forward to it?"
"Not really. I mean, I've learned a lot these past few days, but I really suck at sporty stuff," she tells me. "And I don't wanna stop talking to you."
"Firstly, I bet you'll do really well, don't worry. Secondly, you'll see me in the morning. Not as Demi, but as Miss Munroe, but you'll still see me. I'll try make sure that we find at least some time to talk, just us two," I assure her and she begins to brighten up again.
"Great then. Good night Demi," she says, laying down and pulling the covers over her. I do the same. Even though we're sharing the same blankets and all, I don't get too close to her, as I don't want to move too fast by spooning her or something. I close my eyes and begin to go to sleep, but Selena's voice makes me open my eyes again. "Hey Demi," she whispers.
"Yeah Lena?"
"What if just when we all think we've made it through this camping trip safely, a bear comes to get us all? Not just one bear, but an army of them," she asks. I can't help but laugh at that. She must get all… weird when she's sleepy. You learn something new every day.
"I highly doubt that Selena. Go to bed sleepyhead," I tell her. Oh, that rhymed. She doesn't respond, so I think she's taken my advice. She proves me wrong.
"Hey Demi?"
"Yeah Lena?"
"That rhymed," she simply says. I giggle before lifting my hand over and ruffling her hair.
"I noticed that," I point out. I giggle again, "Goodnight Selena."
"Goodnight Demi," she says. It's quiet again, but I don't assume that she's fallen asleep too quickly. I'm right not to do so. "Hey Demi?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks… for giving this a try," she whispers. I lean over and kiss her forehead, leaving myself there for a second.
"You're worth it," I say in the same volume before pulling away. So worth it.
Review? THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH AGAIN! Love you guys, P.S don't forget that twitterStayStrong_Msft
