LILY:
As soon as we had stepped outside I realized I had made a slight mistake. This was
Minnesota after all, and it was winter. Also my dress did not actually cover much, it was pink short and strapless. Not exactly ideal winter wear, but it was cute so it seemed the right choice for tonight. I guess I was wrong.
" God its freezing" I said through chattering teeth.
Adam looked at me and smiled. He took his jacket off his shoulders and draped it around my shoulders.
" Thanks, but now your gonna freeze to death" I said as he just shrugged.
" Oh well there are worse things in life" he said laughing but for some strange reason I felt that he was being serious.
" I would prefer if you didn't, because than who would I have to sneak out of parties with"
" Thanks" he said smiling
" Wow its beautiful out here" I said and it was the truth. I would think that gardens were only beautiful in the spring, but I would be wrong. Everything was covered with snow and the light of the moon made it sparkle. It reminded me of miniature diamonds.
" Yeah that is not the only thing that is beautiful" he muttered. His cheeks were turning red, but than again it could have just be from the cold.
I smiled– and looked down at my shoes– letting my hair fall over my face to cover the redness that I knew was flooding my face that had nothing to do with the cold.
We sat down on a bench and just started talking. I found it surprisingly easy to talk to him. And I think he felt the same about talking to me. It was the most I had ever heard him talk. We talked about school, family, and just things in general. But it was kind of obvious he was holding back. I noticed that he had a pretty nasty looking bruise on his cheek just under his eye.
" Is that from hockey?" I asked as I extended my hand and gently touched his bruise with my fingers.
" Yeah you know it's a rough sport" he said avoiding my eyes.
It was obvious he was getting hit pretty hard. It was hard not to notice he always came to class limping or covered with bruises Probably because he was the only sophomore on varsity.
" Well" I said and for the first time no one said anything. He leaned in and I did too preparing for a kiss.
" ADAM BANKS! Where the hell are you?" I heard someone scream. He jumped up very quickly. I assumed it was his father, I don't think anyone else could get such a panicked reaction from him. He starred at the door, he kinda looked torn.
" I really have to go" he finally said and started for the door.
" Adam wait" he turned to look at me " Your jacket, I think you might need it more than me" I said smiling as I handed it to him.
" See you at school, ok" he said.
" Yeah of course" I said as he ran back towards the lighted ballroom.
