I did a pretty good job of avoiding Leo until it came to gym. We were playing soccer again and Mr. Phillips spilt us up into the same teams, meaning that I was stuck with Leo. He tried to catch my attention before the game started up but I pretend not hear him.

I did my best to focus on the game and not on the blonde that kept chasing after me.

I was just about to score a goal when a leg came out of nowhere and I went tumbling over it onto the ground. I looked up to see Kyle standing over me. He winked when I glared at him.

Leo appeared behind him and I tried to push myself to my feet only to have Kyle push me back down again.

"Hey coach!" Leo called. "Liebe's taken a pretty nasty fall! He should probably go to the nurse!"

"You lair!" I snapped, shooting up from the ground. "I didn't—" But my mouth slammed shut in pain as I applied pressure to my ankle. I must have twisted it wrong as I fell because it hurt like a son of a gun now.

"He doesn't look like he can walk so well," Mr. Phillips said, eyeing me worriedly. "Why don't you help him to the nurse Leo?"

"Sure, coach," Leo said. His arm slid through mine and although my mind was screaming at me to pull away I found myself leaning into him as he helped me hobble out of the gym.

As soon as were out of sight over I whirled around and whammed him hard in the chest.

"Fuck!" Leo swore. "What was that for?!"

"You told Kyle to trip me didn't you!" I yelled.

Leo ran his fingers through his air sheepishly. "Yeah but only because it was the only way I could get you alone to talk." He frowned as he looked down at my ankle. "He wasn't suppose to really hurt you though."

"You are a total moron," I said.

"That may be true," Leo said, "but I am also the total moron that is going to help you to the nurse's office. And on the way you might as well listen to what I have to say."

"Fine," I muttered grudgingly as we moved down the hallway. "Talk away."

"Well I know that yesterday didn't go so well," Leo said.

"That's an understatement," I snorted.

"Will you let me finish?" Leo asked.

"Right, sorry," I said and the strange thing was that I actually meant it.

"Thanks," Leo said. "I don't get what's going on but ever since I saw you I can't get you out of my head. And it feels so weird when I'm around you. Its like I can't control myself. I just want to me near you all the time no matter what. And I don't want anyone to touch you. I've never felt this protective. I mean I wanted to punch Matthews today just for hugging you. How messed up is that?"

"Pretty messed up," I said. "She's just my friend."

"Promise?" Leo asked.

"I don't see why I have to promise," I said. Leo's eyes narrowed and I let an irritated sigh. "Fine, I promise, she's just my friend."

"Good," Leo said. "I don't know what I'd do if she was anything more than that."

"Possessive much?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Sorry," Leo said, his head hanging. "But I told you that I can't control myself around you."

"I can't control myself either," I said and could have kicked myself for it. Where the hell had that come from?!

"You can't?" Leo said surprised.

"No," I said. I wanted to shake myself. Why could I not control my mouth?! "I feel safe when I'm around you and I can't help but like being near you. And whenever I'm away from you I keep thinking about you all the time."

"Is that so?" Leo said, a smug grin spreading across his face.

I slapped him on the back of head, blushing like mad. "Don't look so full of yourself!" I said. "All I said was that I felt a lot like you do! And its totally weird because you're the leader of a pack I don't want to join, not to mention a guy! So I have no idea what's going on and—"

The rest of my words were lost as Leo's lips slammed down on mine. I knew I should pull away and give him a good one to the face but my body didn't seem to be on the same page as my mind and I found myself melting into the kiss.

When he finally pulled away we were both breathless.

"Liebe?"

"Yeah?"

"You can stop rambling now."

I turned bright red and ducked my head down. He laughed and slipped his hand under my chin, lifting my head back up.

"What are you doing this Friday after school?" He asked.

"Nothing really," I admitted. "Ubel's going over to a friend's house so I was just going to hang out, eat junk food, and watch my favorite movies."

"Sounds like fun," Leo said. "Mind if I join?"

"Sure," I grinned.
