Chapter Seven
Ryan's POV
Tayla was challenging Brendon, as if she didn't believe him. She just stared blankly. He turned to me, grabbing my face and pushing his lips to mine. Honestly; it was amazing. I kissed back instantly, which surprised him a little. But hey, gotta make it believable. That's what I was trying to tell myself anyway. It seemed to last forever, but was probably more like a minute. Damn. People began clapping, but all I could really think about was the feeling of Brendon's lips on mine. It was nice, something I wanted to feel a lot more.
Brendon pulled away, us both breathing a little heavily. "Wow." He whispered. Meanwhile, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Tayla ran off, crying. Ha! Brendon looked a little confused, deep in thought. I kept my arm around his waist and rested my head on his shoulder. "You ok?" I asked. He nodded, but didn't seem all there.
It was after school, and I was waiting for Brendon by his locker. Tayla walked by, giving me the dirtiest look. "You better watch it. He'll come back to me soon enough. And then I'll make you sorry for stealing him from me." Then she was gone. I rolled my eyes. That girl was crazily delusional. "Stupid fucking maths teacher. She's got it out for me, I swear." I chuckled as Brendon practically ripped open his locker. He put his books inside, grabbed his stuff and closed it again with more force than necessary.
"Shall we go?" He held his arm out for me. "I believe we shall." We linked arms and walked out. "Did Tayla bother you?" He asked on our way. "Yeah; apparently you'll go running back to her and she'll make me sorry." He snorted. "She came up crying to me, begging me to realise I wasn't 'gay'. In other news, we're now the school fags." He gave a sarcastically enthusiastic thumbs up. I shrugged. It's essentially the same as it was at my last school. It was why I left; the bullying just got too bad. "It doesn't bother you?" He asked, surprised. "Not really." He gave me an odd look before changing the subject. "So, what do you want to do?" You. I just shrugged.
