I walked into my classroom with a lot on my mind. Friday I basically spent all night at Sky's place. I love her. She confessed to me that night. I don't know what to do. I want to make her my girlfriend. But her ex will kill me. She's sweet to me. I want to kiss her, cuddle her, hold her, and just love her. I don't want to have to worry about what someone else's opinions. 

                                                                           ~~~~~~~~~

     After the bell rang my classmates began to walk out of the classroom. I sat in my desk for a couple minutes. Suddenly I felt two hands on my shoulders. I turned to see Skyler smiling.

     "Hey, are you alive?" She giggled.

     "Yeah, sorry," I said, standing up. We walked out into the hallway.

     "Are you alright?" She asked.

     "Yeah, just stuff on my mind," I said quietly. She looked up at me. 

     "Like what?" She asked.

     "Just... school," I lied. She looked at me.

     "Tests coming up?" She questioned. Wait, did she believe that stupid lie?

     "Kinda, that and like homework," I came up with another lie. 

     "I know I'm younger but if you need any help I'm here," She smiled.

     "Thanks," I said. We walked into the cafeterias after getting our lunches. We sat down together quietly.

     "Skyler, can we go to my place after school today?" I asked.

     "Yeah, sure," She smiled. We ate and talked. 

                                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     I drove home and changed quickly.

     I walked downstairs and Skyler knocked on the door and I opened it. She smiled up at me. She looks great.

     She hugged me.

     "Hey," She said.

     "H-Hey," I blushed. She's so pretty. Why can't I speak..?

     "Let's go inside," I said. She nodded and we went up to my room. She opened the door and sat down on my bed. I sat next to her. She smiled.

     "I love you," I said. She raised an eyebrow. "But, I don't want to have to worry about Chase. He makes me nervous. I know you just got out of your relationship with him. I'm scared you still love him. I'm scared he'll try to hurt you or me. I love you. I don't want him on my back for that." She looked at me. I blushed. Was that too forward? I don't know. This might have been a mistake.

     "I love you too. I think about what Chase would do to you or me if something happened for me. I think about him still sometimes but then I remind myself of what he did to me. He was abusive and I need to live him behind. I want you. Being with you will help me get him out of my mind. I need someone to show me how I'm supposed to be treated. I can't stay away from you. I love you. I need you," She hugged me. I smiled and she kissed me.

     "Are you sure you want this?" I asked.

     "Of course," She kissed me again. I smirked and the two of us talked for the whole afternoon.
