Hello guys!

I have seen the follows number increase in the last week and it really warms my heart, more than I can say you guys! I'm so grateful, thank you very much!

Here's the eighth chapter of this story so have fun and review!

Thank you all,

Guillo

"You think he'll come back?" I asked them quietly.

"Of course, he will, he won't be able to stay away from you. Besides, he's a sneaky bastard" Andy joked with a small smirk on his lips before standing up and going back to his seat.

Brian handed me my notebook, knowing I would need it. I smiled at him.

Anthony will freak out so much when he learns I had 3 panic attacks in the space of a day. All because of Vernon. I promised him I would call him if I had any but I didn't want to bother him. I should be able to calm myself down! I thought it was over, that I was okay now... Well, turns out I was wrong. I can't believe it. I hope mom won't be too mad I had another detention, dad too.

I bit the end of my pen a little before a thought crossed my mind.

Well, he kissed me. Maybe he wasn't playing with me after all… Or maybe he was, and still is… How do I handle this? I don't know how to handle this.

Before I could keep writing everything that went around in my brain, a loud crash was heard in another part on the library.

"Seems like we might see him earlier than expected." Brian laughed.

I stared at Bender in worry after his fall and amusement. He smirked back at me.

"I forgot my pencil."

To which I laughed loudly in relief that he was okay physically, making him look at me in amusement.

Vernon was heard in the hall, making Bender hide under our desk.

The vice-principal entered, looking around with a pissed off face. "What was that ruckus?"

"Uh, what ruckus?" asked the jock.

"I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus!" he exclaimed.

"Could you describe the ruckus, sir?" Brian asked, laughing.

"Watch your tongue young man, watch it!" he spat.

Suddenly I felt John's head inside my tights and even though I wanted nothing more than to let him continue, I couldn't so I closed my legs on him making him groan. I coughed to hide the noise, and everyone joined in

"That noise? Was that the noise you were talking about?" asked Claire.

"No, it wasn't. That was not the noise I was talking about. Now, I may not have caught you in the act this time, but you can bet I will." retorted Vernon which made Allison laugh. "You make book on that missy! And you!" he said pointing Claire "I will not be made a fool of!"

When he was making his way out the door, we saw that he had toilet paper stuck to his pants, making us laugh.

Bender got out from under the table and looked at me with an apologetic face, I rolled my eyes at him and hit him once with my notebook. He chuckled lowly before standing up and going to Brian who was glaring at him. Probably because he knew what happened under the table.

"So, Ahab… Kybo Mein Doobage…" He said extending a hand at Brian.

Brian took the dope out and handed it to John. Bender took my hand, I sent Brian a look that said 'please come' and I let him lead me away to the back of the library, taking my notebook with me.

Andrew was protesting, but John didn't seem to care.

"First time?" he asked me quietly

I shook my head

"Not exactly. I don't smoke, cigarettes or otherwise but I did space cake back in France." I explained, smiling at the memory

He stared at me in disbelief.

"You are aware that's worse right?"

I giggled and nodded at him. He quickly kissed me, making me smile.

The hallway may not be an accident after all.

Soon enough, we were joined by Claire, and Brian, I smiled brightly at him when he came. We were placed in a circle and all laughing hysterically because of the pot.

"Chicks, cannot hold der smoke! That's what it is!" Brian said in a funny voice.

I would have objected, but I couldn't think straight.

"Do you know how popular I am? I'm so popular, everybody loves me so much, at this school..." Claire opened her big mouth for yet another useless intervention.

I laughed loudly at how ridiculous her statement was.

"Is this a dream?" I asked John quietly

He laughed and kissed me hard. I love it.

Suddenly, Andrew emerged from a very smokey room and started to dance around, making us applause. He went back in the room and break the glass of the door by screaming.

Well, that is impressing at least.

Bender was brushing his teeth with one of Claire's cosmetic brushes while I was looking his wallet with her.

"Are all of these your girlfriends?" I asked, insecure. All the girls in there were very beautiful and thin.

"Yes, but I'll dump all tonight."

I gave the wallet to Claire, kind of relieved, and opened my notebook.

"Why?" Claire asked, surprised.

"I think I found someone I want to be serious with. It's been a long time since I've thought this…"

I held my breath and looked up at him, eyes wide. Is he…? Really? Can I… hope?

"Who's the girl?" she asked with a small flirty smile.

I deflated, hearing that.

Of course, he would want to be with the beautiful princess.

He looked at me and frowned slightly before asking Claire "How come you got so much shit in your purse?"

"Who do you wanna be serious with?" she questioned back.

"I asked you first." he retorted.

"You didn't, but I don't know... I guess I never throw anything away."

"A girl." He replied looking at me

I blushed and I saw Claire glare at me from the corner of my eye, but I couldn't help beaming at John. I nodded my head slightly to him before getting up.

"I'm going to check on Bri."

John nodded and I went towards the other group. I was still smiling.

When I arrived, Allison was putting all of her stuff on the couch.

"You're planning to travel, Allison?" I asked, sitting next to her.

She smiled at me but shook her head. Brian took a tampon in his hands staring at it curiously. I rolled my eyes, remembering the time where I asked him to go fetch me one while I checked to make sure I didn't forget anything to go to school. After that, he didn't look me in the eyes for two days.

"Come on Bri! I raised you better than that!" I exclaimed while laughing lightly.

"Do you always carry this much shit in your bag?" he asked after putting the tampon back on the couch, I slapped him across the head for insensitive question. He glared at me and Allison chuckled.

"Yeah... I always carry this much shit... in my bag... You never know when you may have to jam..." she replied.

I sat next to Bri, legs on the couch and got lost in my notebook when I felt arms circle my waist. I looked down and recognized Bender's arms. I quickly get out of his grip, get up and go near one of the bookcases, a little further. He gave me a questioning look but followed me and I just said:

"I want to clear things up, first. I want to make sure I understood what you were trying to say perfectly"

He smiled and kissed softly. I kissed back. I've never been kissed like that. It was so tender yet so passionate. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I felt his hands around my waist. I could have stayed this way forever, but we did need air, so we had to stop. Breathing heavily, I smiled at him softly. He smiled back but I frowned. He would regret this…

"What is it?" he asked me.

"You don't know what you are getting into…"

"What are you talking about?"

"If I let you do this, you'll have to deal with an ugly, fat girl. Your friends will make fun of you. You'll have to deal with my insecurity, my panic attacks, my sarcasm, inner battles, everything…" I said not meeting his eyes.

He put a finger under my chin and forced me to look at him. He smirked.

"Bring it." With that he kissed my forehead. "And by the way, Alice, you are neither fat or ugly, am I making myself clear?" He asked his eyes on mine.

I shrugged and he sighed.

"We'll work on your confidence together."

I giggled and he let go of me. I crouched down to take my notebook, which had fallen during the kiss, from the floor.

"Say, will you let me read it someday?" he asked me. "I know this is basically your brain and I would love to know how and what you think."

I stared at him for a moment, thinking. Could I trust him with my notebook enough?

"Maybe someday"

Thank you again guys! I know I'm getting annoying so I'll leave you all be for the time being!

See you next week and in the meantime, review with your honnest opinions about the story!

Bye guys!
