*Dylan's POV*
I just kissed Bree Davenport. I just kissed Bree Davenport. I JUST KISSED BREE DAVENPORT! No matter how many times I say it, I just can't believe it. I kissed her, and she kissed me back. I kept thinking about it as I walked to homeroom. The bell had rung right after Bree finished freaking out at the possibility of someone seeing us kiss and she ran down the stairs. Was she ashamed? I mean, I don't think she is. I'm not bad looking that's for sure. I was about to turn a corner but someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a janitors closet.
"What the hell!?" I demanded, swinging my arms around, trying to get them to let go. Then the nails started digging into my arm.
"You are such a baby," a female voice said. They flicked the light on and I found myself staring into some pretty scary eyes. She looks familiar but I just can't place her name. "The name's Rose." Wow, I wonder if she can read minds. She rolled her eyes and put her hand on her hip.
"Well, it's nice to meet you and everything, but why did you pull me in here?" I asked, rubbing my wrist where she had just let go. "I'm going to be late for homeroom"
"This is bigger than homeroom! It's about Bree," she said, causing all of my thoughts to be pushed aside by an image of Bree. "Yeah, that's what I thought." Guess my thoughts were evident through my face.
"What about Bree? And why do you even want to know?" I had about fifteen questions at least, so we might be here until lunch.
"You like her, and I want to know because she's my best friend," she crossed her arms and glared at me, daring me to say something stupid. I almost did, but I caught myself.
"What makes you think I like Bree?" I wasn't admitting it but I wasn't denying it either.
"Oh I don't know," she sighed so dramatically that Danielle would have been jealous. "Maybe it's because you're always staring at her and smiling all creepy like."
"I do not!" I yelled, almost knocking over a broom with my crazy hand gestures. Rose rolled her eyes again.
"Yes you do, and don't bother trying to hide it, because it's so obvious," she held her hand in front of my face, like it would stop me from talking. I just took a step to the side.
"Okay, so maybe I do kinda like Bree," I admitted… well sorta. She gave me a glare that made my skin crawl. "Okay, so I like her a lot!" Her scowl instantly changed to a bright smile.
"I knew it!" she exclaimed, doing a fist pump. But she turned serious again. "If you ever hurt her in any way, shape, or form I will hurt you so bad your great grandchildren will feel it when their dead." She ended with her face about three inches in front of mine and her finger was poking me in the chest.
"I would never hurt Bree. She's too amazing to hurt," I mumbled the last part, hoping that she wouldn't hear it.
"Right answer," she whispered. She opened the door and walked out, leaving me in the janitor's closet alone with the brooms, mops, buckets, and disinfectants.
*Chase's POV*
Where the heck is Rose? I was just with her, but she said she had to go back to her locker and find her calculus homework. But now, she isn't in homeroom. The bell rang and I got up, heading to biology.
I sat in my usual seat, and I saw Kim walk in with Jack and sit next to him with a huge smile on her face the entire time. Aw, that's so cute. I saw Ally come in and look around. The entire class stopped talking and stared at her. She looked really uncomfortable, so I decided to save her. I subtly waved her over and she smiled gratefully before walking down the row and sitting in the chair next to mine.
"Thanks Chase," she whispered once people had started talking again.
"No problem. What are partners for?" She just smiled at me, but something must have caught her eye because she turned her head. I looked in the same direction and saw Claire staring daggers at Ally.
"I wonder if it'll ever go away," Ally whispered so quietly I barely heard her. Guess this was affecting her more than she was willing to let on.
"Whether it goes away or not, what they think doesn't matter," I whispered. Ally turned and stared at me again. She looked like she wanted to cry, but she wouldn't let herself. So, she's that kind of girl.
"Okay class, we're in the computer lab today," Mrs. Arnold announced, walking into the room with a pile of papers. "And since I got cut off yesterday, I didn't get to finish telling everyone who their partners are. Chase you're with Ally, and Stephanie you're with Claire." I heard Claire groan all the way from the other side of the room. Gosh, I know the populars don't like Stephanie, but she's pretty much getting a free pass at this project. Stephanie will probably do all the work.
"I am so glad I'm not partners with Claire for this thing," Ally said, standing up and pushing her chair in.
"That makes two of us. Although, being one hundred percent honest here, I was hoping I would be partners with Stephanie yesterday," I admitted.
"Yeah, I can't exactly blame you for that," she said quietly. I gave her a reassuring smile as we headed down to the computer lab.
I'm really sorry that this took so long, but it's been like one test after another and big projects. Plus I kinda got hit with writers block :( But I already have the just of the next chapter, so hopefully I can get that up soon. Please review!
