But still this is just a treat to the people who did comment! Thank you thank thank you. And to all the rest! Your mother must be so proud. NO! guys I'm just playin with you. Chillax stop reading this stupid little message of mine and get to the story!

The next morning I woke up with a jolting pain in my stomach. I lifted my shirt and was disgusted at what a saw. A big purple bruise, about the size of one of those big sunglasses lenses. I sighed and remembered when Nate had punched me there. I looked over and checked the clock, 6:30. I slumped out of the bed and jumped on the floor with a thud. I heard the TV in the living room and could hear the screeching noise of the tea pot. That was weird? my dad making coffee and getting up earlier than me? There could only be explenation... he got a job!

I sprinted out of my room and into the kitchen where my dad was sitting at the counter sipping some coffee. I eyed him slowly. His usually messy hair was gelled back and put into a low pony tail, since his hair was long enough. He was wearing a blue-ish gray suite with a button up white shirt and a black tie. Along with matching pants. With my eyebrows raised I walked over to him.

"Why are you wearing that?" I said, already knowing what he'd say. He turned his head and smiled at me. "Good morning Miles."

I crossed my arms and waited for a response.

He saw I wasn't giving up and answered. "I have an interview for a job."

I nodded. "As?"

"As a banker."

I snorted and my dad looked at me with a stern face. I stopped and pressed my lips together. "Sorry, but I just thought you wanted to be as a person who sells houses."

My dad looked down and patted my back. "I know but, honey this is all I can get right now."

I bit my lip and nodded and leaned forward against the counter. My bruise throbbed and I winced and leaned away. My dad looked at me strangly raising an eyebrow. "You okay?

"Uh yeah, I just got hit in the stomach with a soccer ball... in PE!" I said exclaiming at the last set of words. My dad cocked his head to the side and sighed.

"Kids these days."

I let out a small smile and walked back to my room and got dressed. I picked out a red-ish black plaid shirt with flurry things at the top. Along with a pair of blue jeans that were wide legged at the bottom. Then some gray ballet flats.

I let my curly hair loose but styled it so they weren't so messy. Then applied a little makeup and brushed my teeth. My dad called me into the living room after I was finished and I walked in.

"Yeah dad?"

He sighed and got off the couch. "I'm leavin', so wish me luck."

I grinned and walked over to him and gave him a tight hug. He kissed the top of my head and pulled me closer make me wince from the pain. I pushed him away a little and he remembered I 'got hit by a soccer ball'. "Sorry."

I nodded. "It's fine. Good luck daddy."

He looked at me for a second and brushed his hand on my cheek. "You look beautiful."

I blushed hit him playfully. "Bye daddy." I reminded him to leave and he understood. "Right bye, I'll be home around 6:00."

I walked him to the door and opened it. "Okay later."

He walked out and said one more goodbye and I shut the door but he pushed it open. "Oh and I'm taking the bus so the cars still here."

I nodded and started shutting the door again until it was completely closed

I leaned against the door and let out a deep breath. I hated lying to my dad, even though I did it often. It was always so easy, I sometime wanted him to be a little more concerned. But he always believed me. I put a hand where my bruise was and closed my eyes trying to forget about everything that happened. But something brought me back to the thought. I was still Nate's partner in Biology! Great just great! now for sure he's going to kill me.

I opened my eyes wide and grabbed my car keys and bag and opened the door and ran over to my car. I knew the sooner I'd get there the more time I'd have to tell Mr. Duffy to switch partners or something. Maybe talk to Joe and see what he says. But He probably isn't gonna say much.

I started up the car and swerved out of site almost running to the mailbox, and onto the main road. On my way there rain poured loudly on the windshield but that was least of my problems. I finally arrived at school, about a half hour early and I hurried out of the car pulling on my black pea coat. I splashed into a puddle getting it on my jeans and I groaned quietly. This is what I get for rushing!

Scurrying into the school people greeted me and complimented me. I could only give them a slight smile for that was all I had time to do. I slipped a little on my way to the classroom but not enough to make me lose balance. I stopped in front of the door then suddenly frowned. Mr. Duffy wasn't even here yet! The lights were shut off and the door was shut. I kicked the door and pounded my fist against it. Then rested my forehead on the little window that was on the door.

"Damn it." I muttered.I should have remembered that Mr. Duffy gets here just when school starts. So all of this was for nothing! I shook my head but it probably looked like I was rolling my head on the door. A few moments later somebody cleared there throat and I snapped up my head.

Turning around I ran into whoever was standing there, not realizing they were so close. "Oh gees I'm so sorry." I backed up and this time ran into the door. Embarrassed by my clumsy-ness I forget to check who was there.

"Why are you so weird?" The person said but I didn't need to look to know who it was. Joe stood there shaking his head. He was wearing a tight white button up shirt and some black jeans along with gray sneakers. (Picture of Joe today. Take out spaces http: // /photos /cstardust / 2458929061/)

I glared at him and crossed my arms. "I just had some plans, and now they are ruined."

"Were you going to ask Mr. Duffy for a new partner?"

I stopped glaring and raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"

"What else would say to him? Hey I just love this project."

I rolled my eyes at his sarcasm and pushed him out of the way. He stopped me by pulling on my arm and turning me around.

"Wait, I already changed you partners."

"What?" I asked confused and stared at his unsure face.

He replied. "Mr. Duffy stays at school pretty late, so I stopped by and asked him to change you partners with someone else."

I smiled and patted his arms. "Wow Joe that was really nice of you. Who's my partner?"

His face fell and he looked away. "Uh yeah it's actually me."

What? Him! How can this be? No! I mean yes! But no at the same time! Huh?

Questions swarmed in my head and I to looked away from his face. "What?" I finally said.

He looked back at me and I looked back at him. We starred into each others eyes for a long while until he replied.

"Well I was the only one without a partner. I wouldn't make someone else get Nate.

"So Nate's not going to have a partner?"

"He's not in the class."

"Why, did he say that?

"No I made him."

"Where is he now?"

"He's not coming to school for a while."

"Why did you tell your dad or something!?"

"No, he's just not okay! enough with questions! He exclaimed and walked off. I frowned but inside I felt better knowing Nate was gone and Joe was my partner

When school started Alex had told me Mitchie wasn't here today. So I wouldn't have anyone in Spanish class, which was my worst subject. I didn't really mind, all I could think about was biology class. And when It came I skipped into class. Joe wasn't there yet but I kept my hopes up. 10 minutes after class had started there he came through the door, he ignored me and everyone else and sat down without disturbing anyone- except me. I starred at him in the corner of my eye as Mr. Duffy went on about projects.

I ran my fingers through my hair and bit my lip as I eyed him. Soon he got the hint I was looking at him and he turned his head slightly. I quickly looked away and feeling his eyes on my face. I looked at him in the corner of my again and gave a small smile.

He pursed his lips, barely any emotion in his face and looked away. I frowned and looked down my desk and played with my fingers listening slightly to what Mr. Duffy was saying.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

After school was over Joe and I 'met' as I like to call it, at our lockers. I didn't say a word until I saw him shut his locker.

"Are we going to work on out project?" I asked.

He turned to me and I knew he hadn't though about that cause he rubbed the back of his neck and seemed lost in his words. And also because he said. "I don't know."

I rolled my eyes. "Well do you want to, or do you want to get an F?"

Joe huffed and crossed his arms and leaned his side against the lockers. "I guess we can work on it."

I smiled a little and nodded. "Where should we go?"

He took my hand and gripped it tightly then led me down the hall. I ran a little so I could catch up and not be dragged. We went up these stairs at the end of the hall making sure no one saw and stopped when we came to a door.

"Where are we?" I whispered.

"Doesn't matter c'mon."

I followed him after he had opened the door and he searched for a light. After he found it he switched it on and I starred at the large room. Dust covered most of the floor and it smelled like must. A little table was placed at the end of the room and a few stools were next to it.

"Are we supposed to be here?" I asked after I coughed from the smell.

"No, so we should probably be quiet."

I sighed and we walked over to the table and sat down on the seats carefully to be sure they were sterdy enough to hold us. They seemed to and we got out our stuff from our bags. We started working on our project but I couldn't exactly concentrate.

"Why did you save me when Nate was you know."

Joe looked up from our work annoyed by my question. "I felt like it."

I scoffed. "You felt like it? So you just did it because you were bored or something."

He bit down on his teeth hard, clenching them. "Miley I was obviously kidding. Now try to stay with me!"

I apologized and we went back to work- but only for a while. "Why did you come so late? couldn't you hear me?"

Joe rolled his eyes and dropped his pencil and intwined his hands together and put them on the table. "Well I was outside and when I came in Kevin told me there was some screaming and said you guys must be really getting it on, but then I heard you call my name and I ran up." He said simply.

I nodded and cocked my head to the side. "Did you get mad when Kevin said he thought we were having sex."

Joe cringed at the word and bit his lip. "No why?"

I shrugged. "I don't know"

I looked deep in his unreadable eyes and licked my lips. Joe starred at me too, his eyes wandering down my chest and to my legs and than he moved them back up. I gulped but this time I stopped our stares. "We should get back to work."

Joe blinked and nodded and moved his eyes back on the paper. I felt myself getting hot and put my hair up in a curly ponytail. I went back to work but this time Joe interrupted us.

"How far did he actually get with you?"

I looked up and pushed my eyebrows together. "Why?"

Joe shrugged this time. "I want to make sure he didn't touch, in the wrong places."

"Well what if he did?" I said playfully, wanting to see what he would do. Joe gulped. "Well did he?"

"I don't know." I teased.

"Miley seriously."

I sighed. "Chill, he didn't touch me in the "wrong places." I said quoting him. Joe's stern face suddenly fell and he smiled a little. But I didn't let it last. I pulled my shirt up exposing my bruised stomach. "But he did do this."

Joe looked at my stomach and his eyes widened. "Oh my god."

I looked down at it too and noticed it was a little bit lighter but it was still the same size.

"I'm so sorry." He said and scooted closer and placed his hand on my stomach gently. I froze and locked eyes with him. He bit his lip and brushed his hand over my bruise. "I wont let him touch you ever again."

My heartbeat picked up and Joe moved his hand up and tugged on my shirt to pull it down. I let him and he leaned closer as he licked his lips. I starred down at them then at his eyes. He was inches away now and didn't seem like he was going to stop. I stopped breathing and moved in closer this time Centimeters away. Then Joe's lips were suddenly on mine. My eyes widened but then seemed to droop close. At first I just sat there and watched him as he moved his lips against mine. Then Joe put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me into it.

I put my hand on his shoulder and kissed back. Turning my head to the other side as I got off my chair slightly. I put both hands on his shoulders and slowly climbed onto his lap. Joe moved his hand off my neck and onto my lower back. I moaned quietly as his tongue moved into my mouth. I smiled against his lips and straddled him a little when I sat down on him completely. Then suddenly Joe moved his tongue out of my mouth and pulled away panting.

I frowned but knew the reason he stopped. I got off him, panting too. I blushed and bit my lip.

"I have to go." He stood up and gathered up his stuff. I grabbed my stuff too and got up.

"Sorry I let that happen." I said. Joe looked at me. "It was both our fault."

I sighed and walked to the door with him, starring at my feet as I waited for him to open the door.

"Meet me here tomorrow" He said under his breath.

My head shot up. "What time?"

He bit his lip. "Right after school."

I nodded. "I'll see you later, Joe."

He opened the door and let me out first and walked down the stairs. The halls were empty and some lights were turned. I waited for Joe to come. I started walking down the hall once he had and we walked out of school in silence.
